There's a studio called SoundBooth Theater that does whole ass performances.

Currently listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman, narrated by Jeff Hayes. And it's awesome. He does the scoffs, laughs, sings in character voices, has crazy sound effects and music, etc.

See also: Friends in Low Places. They played it at a AAA baseball game here and the whole place was chanting it lol.

I freaking love data like this, thank you for sharing!

tl;dr on the new LOTR films, he hasn't seen a script so he hasn't made a decision.

That was one of the craziest reads.

I'm kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don't plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.

I did a Dishonored run with zero kills and never being spotted, took forever but felt so satisfying.

Thank you for actually providing an explanation beyond stating the word "science"

There might be a "fixed height" setting in the display settings.

I'm not sure transphobia or homophobia were in the actual books, but the others you mentioned were. Rowling herself obv exhibits all of those things, but I try to think of OP as a 9 year old just discovering a love of reading, who doesn't know about the racist tones. That's my story at least, and I've been happier just letting people enjoy things.

Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.

Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.

Missing the spike at the end for white when I blunder back rank check mate.

Agreed, surprised they haven't shown up in this thread yet lol.

Yeah that's fair.

It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don't have to participate to enjoy it.

That's a good point, a lot of people are still on old Avaya or Cisco systems and it was expensive to do that. A lot of cloud providers now don't charge anything for it.

Yeah, it's a feature dubbed "queued callback". Saves your place, it's a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.

Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it's a business, though that's more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).

I sell and build call centers for a living.

Yeah, it's fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn't fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where "if there's more than X calls in queue, play the message". Turns out, there's always more than X calls in queue. It's not actually looking at the average.

It's kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.

Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the "if I hang up and call back I'll get there sooner" people. Awful.

I'm on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There's this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.

Compared to Stardew Valley, it's much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it's pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It's also much heavier on skill progression. You'll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).

Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).

Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it's kind of a lot to manage. It's just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I'd rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I'm gone doing other stuff.

Thank you. Certainly sounds like more research needs to take place, but this is awesome and will hopefully encourage more studies.

I also thought it was interesting that discrepancies between trans and cisgender women in strength could be attributed to trans women being forced to use men's training facilities, equipment and resources, which get more funding and are better equipped. It's amazing what you learn when you control certain variables.

If it matters they're all skins that don't really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you're opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren't predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren't paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).
