My american mother was basically the initializer of halloween celebration in my home place. My brothers and I had parties with our classmates and went around to our parents trick or treating. My parents always made a ton of decorations and told spooky stories. My grandma hid in a nearby woods with a small candlelight and gave treats to whoever dared approaching.
That was almost 30 years ago, but to this day my parent’s house is still “the Halloween house” of the town.
Maybe it’s not considered to be an easter egg, but Earthbound’s DRM didn’t prevent you from playing, but rather made the game extremely grindy and obnoxious. And during the final fight, the game crashes.
I was subject to this. Looking at playthroughs afterwards made me facepalm. I had been grinding each area for maybe 1-2 hours extra just to be able to proceed. And people were walking to the first boss after basically no grinding.
Jokes on them, since I still loved the game.
For me it’s a skateboarder. Doing kickflips into grinding the rails and using the environment as ramps and obstacles. Tunnels suck.
I enjoy it so far, but I am noticing that the userbase is currently a lot smaller and thus there are fewer posts and comments. Also, the niche interests are very thinly represented. For instance, I enjoyed following the valheim subreddit to get up to speed with updates and see fun creations. Lemmy has basically no community for valheim. The same goes for other narrow subjects. I expect this to grow along with the popularity of Lemmy, but it’s currently a bit shallow.
I’m against them. I see little to no joy in them, while knowing that they are bad for the environment, for animals and wallets. However, I have accepted that the joy is a subjective matter and people see things that I don’t. Similar to loud bikes and cars or loud music, there are enthusiasts who see other values.
I would like to see it restricted to state purchases and to have it limited to official firework shows only all over the world.
Would probably go for something very practical. Water would be ideal, as I could get it pretty much anywhere for free. Or maybe I’d go for chicken pasta salad, just to have a meal that contains a decent amount of variation.
You can see the moon from The Great Wall of China.
A1: Philips 43" 439P9H/00. Probably not recommended, as there are better models out there since it was produced. It’s great as a working station, and with proper tools (Power Toys for Windows), it smoothly becomes a display with multiple sections. That doesn’t make it compatible with full screen modes, but only for windowed programs.
A2: I don’t think it supports PIP/PBP, but I have never looked into it.
A3: N/A
It was very nearby and not like a deep forest or anything, so it might sound a lot creepier that the reality.
Grandma was indeed awesome!
