@bryanintihar Spider-Man 2 was excellent! Kudos to you and the whole team at IG. On behalf of my 9 year old daughter and girls everywhere: Spider-Gwen game someday, pretty please? 🙏

@jesawyer Correct take! Metric is better for science and everything important, but imperial is better for casual human-centric measurement youtube.com/watch?v=iJymKo…

When I travel to Europe I still track all weather temps on the one true scale: Fahrenheit. 🫡🦅🌡️

@Cosmalano Sadly, not on iOS 😢 The engine I built it with has been defunct and unsupported on iOS for a long time, so I would basically have to completely rewrite the game. But there is a free PC version that should still work: picobots.net/games/ms-parti…

@picobots Hey there, sorry if you get this a lot, but I was wondering if there was a way to still play ms particle man. I used to really love that game and I miss it

@MinnMaxShow From your neighboring state of WI, here’s my electronic pop music album Pretend, featuring lots of layered vocal harmonies (sung by yours truly) and analog synthesizers: picobots.bandcamp.com/album/pretend

Promote yourself, what's the coolest thing you've created or done that you'd like to share?

@jesawyer Interesting! I didn’t know Fleming hated it. Kina Lillet obviously doesn’t exist anymore, so the only version I’ve ever tried is with Cocchi Americano in its place. But that’s a fun bit of Fleming trivia, I’ll have to share that with my (fellow Vesper enjoying) pals.

@picobots Terrible as written. Even Fleming agreed!

Vodka sucks. It's boring gin.

@jesawyer Wait, which part is the war crime? 2:1:1 instead of 1:1:1? Or the suggestion that people could swap in vodka instead? Vodka is certainly war crime territory (as is shaking and a full orange wedge), but I think a 2:1:1 Negroni is darn near perfection: youtu.be/lgy6vEX_hQg?t=…

To be fair, her old fashioned is just slightly odd while The Tucc's Negroni recipe is a war crime.

Just watched the VF vid of Ana de Armas making an old fashioned and between her and The Tucc I think celebrities cannot be trusted to make cocktails anymore.

@yozetty Zwift! Hands down the best way to stay sane on an indoor bike during Midwest winters. It’s infinitely better with a smart trainer, but you can use it with an old fashioned exercise bike if you add a speed/cadence sensor thecyclingpoint.com/zwift-without-… apps.apple.com/us/app/zwift-r…

What's the best game to play on a Steam Deck while riding an exercise bike and listening to podcasts that isn't called Vampire Survivors?

@KyleMHilliard I suspect you’ll love it. Wolf Children and Mirai are easily my two Hosoda favorites—they both hit particularly hard as a parent. Wolf Children is admittedly probably his best though. And that Takagi Masakatsu soundtrack (especially during the running in the snow scene)—so good!

@picobots I need to get around to the one! We've watched nearly all his other films, but just haven't gotten around to that one yet.

Great movie. Probably my favorite anime film of the last decade.

@IndianaJ0nas My friend used to joke that Micro Machines V3 (for PS1) was turn-based racing. If one car gets far enough ahead that the other cars fall offscreen, it resets everyone right there mid-course, which results in a lot of little mini rounds/turns within one race. Very fun game.

Is there such a thing as a turn based racing game?

@iv_javy Body Double (1984) imdb.com/title/tt008698… Not light-hearted per se, but it’s a borderline absurd deconstruction and response by De Palma to critics accusing him of being a Hitchcock rip-off. It’s a very fun watch with lots of great 80s LA stuff

@SamuelDev You might be right! There's certainly something to be said for leaving people wanting more vs. burning out. I'd say go with your gut and leave it turned off for now. Anyway, cool game concept, thanks for sharing it with us all!

@SamuelDev Is there any way to see the old Guess the Game puzzles? Even if they don't count toward my stats?

@konjak @TheRyuujinMike I didn’t do any of his quests and he was still sitting in Volcano Manor, he left after killing Rykard, and he still invaded in Farum. It’s Maliketh (final boss of Farum) that you don’t want to kill before finding the Bernahl invasion, not Rykard. PowerPyx’s summary is wrong.

I was gonna finish up achievements in Elden Ring during a work break, but does Bernahl seriously not invade you unless you random-ass found him before he goes to Volcano Manor? I did everything else right according to guides, but met him first at manor

@plante I use Session Buddy, but my understanding is that it can’t automatically save sessions for some reason, so you have to manually save. Not very useful in the event of a crash. But you should still be able to find your previous windows without an extension in Menu (⋮) > History.

@ashleygodbold @Apple Oh sorry! I misunderstood. I haven't enabled Smart Activation automation yet, so I wasn't even aware of that feature. My Apple Watch has some "automatic smarts" for the Workout app ordering that frustrates me to no end. I wish they would be clearer about how all this stuff works.

@ashleygodbold @Apple Have you checked if you have any of the things described in the "Schedule a Focus to turn on automatically" schedule enabled? support.apple.com/guide/iphone/t…

@GcnRacing I'm trying to register for GCN+ and I just see a blank page. I've tried 3 different browsers, same issue in all of them. Is something broken on your site right now? (I'm in the US.)
