Turkish Delight is a horror. in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

Good turkish delight is heavenly. Bad turkish delight is abysmal.

What fantasy thing would you like to happen to you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Having read a few "retired hero" things recently, home ownership and retirement would be nice.

Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 20 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I didn't think I would like it because I like colony sims and city builders where I'm just playing the same map for extended periods, but I gave it a try on game pass and ended up playing hundreds of hours. It's something special.

Well, in homeopathy, like cures like, so probably more shit.

The best time of the year to buy things in c/memes@lemmy.world

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago

Yeah, always gotta check price history. Especially on Aliexpress.

Was looking at buying a particular retro game emulator handheld. Black friday pricing was the same as non-black-friday pricing, but it was "discounted" from $300, which it has never actually been sold at. Still bit the bullet and bought it because it did end up decently cheaper using one of their "spend $x and get $y off" coupons.

I've known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They're just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.

I'm thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn't get creepy about the opposite sex.

What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is a cooking method from the 70s really... futuristic?

Not saying it isn't worth it, though.

PSA: Starting today, you'll need a Samsung account to use the Galaxy Store in c/android

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

I have one.

I have only ever used the Samsung store to install a single official customisation app that I used once and never again.

As far as I'm concerned it only exists to occasionally annoy me with notifications about apps with updates that I installed from other stores.

Thailand legalizes same-sex marriage in a first for Southeast Asia in c/world@lemmy.world

[–] Starayo@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Nice to see news from Thailand that isn't about their shitty royals.

Whats something you constantly lose that you wish you could always be able to have without needing to hunt it down repeatedly? in c/adhd@lemmy.world

Most browsers have some sort of tab search function nowadays, changed my life.

In Firefox you can search them with the bar (I think % first will make it search tabs?) And in Chromium-based ones I think you can hit Ctrl+Shift+a. I prefer the chromium approach as it also puts anything playing audio at the top of the list.

Yoda might be running on multi-threading in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Is a funny joke, but Yoda speaks in a consistent OSV as opposed to SVO used in English. 🤓

Power budgeting for new PC build in c/memes@lemmy.world

I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I'm forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven't tested it under full load, though.
