The described issues are very different from each other. One was a fire warning and the other a stall. Not an argument against the airline or manufacturer. Just a coincidence.

You absolutely need to as early as possible for a massive advantage. Pick 3 for white and 3 for black. Look for books, speak ideally to your local chess club.

The New York Times, that's why. It's a paper which drastically lost credibility.

Isn't fiber a key component of vegetables which are naturally calory poor?

External sound cards have the advantage of less electrical interference, but usually the internal ones have external power not coming from the PCIe slot so it isn't a big problem. Asus left the market leaving you with good old Creative Sound Blaster again. Choose whatever your budget allows, the two upper tier ones just differ in accessories, but that might have changed. And AV receivers the same, I am not the up to date audio guy what is a good deal. Just try to stay >120 dB SNR on sound cards for high end.

Don't search for computer speakers, just look for normal speakers on which I can't help out too much on. Unless you want to invest into an expensive sound card, you probably should go for an AV-Receiver which transmits the audio through HDMI as this will give you the maximum quality depending on the supported formats. I have a sound card -> old school amplifier -> speaker setup. Basically it is your choice where the digital to analogue transformation happens, whether through a receiver or sound card. A sound card does have the massive advantage of providing virtual headphone surround sound (yes on stereo headphones, and no, this is really working) which receivers typically don't have, because reasons and it will provide you with a massive immersion boost. And no onboard sound is not comparable, even the best one is a clear step down.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the support and development team for adding third party HRTF support and fixing the primary mouse key issue. They listen and care about their customers (but definitely not the wallets, 100€ skin bundle incoming).

Metacritic changed not so long ago their posting format and adopted a microblogging like Twitter with 140 signs stance in that regard. Why was that done? I understand there are different demands between expressing the overall feel towards something in few sentences, but why is even a mid sized review, like many on Steam not welcome anymore? Even 200 words just become a wall of text and sometimes that is needed to express complex feelings.

After I found in Ghostblade a fun character for me I had some great time, but the online is so terrible without any ping indicators or blocking. The game design was criticized plenty, and I also don't see it replacing the big titles for me, perhaps for a local evening with friends it is quite good. Shame the online is so bad though for as an alternative game.

Gaming communities can be rough, but I can't think of another forum like Steam which is across so many games consistently incredibly toxic towards developers, even if their product is fine with only minor issues and no predatory monetization. They are my least favorite place of conversation.

What would you do to improve the culture around them?

Loved it. The visuals are great, the feel is really there, the Arcade mode was joyful and the Story fight was very epic. I touched Tekken as a series only briefly on PSP and it was not at all my cup of tea and later installments didn't interest me. But this one is a winner so far.

Updated.

I have used Microsoft Office for many years and wanted to see how LibreOffice has come along in the meantime and it does not do as well as I would have hoped for on Windows. There is no included updater tool as in Firefox, so my old version stopped working completely (frozen UI) and the ancient hassle to download .exe files. Not a great start.

The dark mode switch causes buttons to be in the wrong colour looking like a buggy mess until a restart, but even then some of the icons and application colours were not applied correctly until I manually changed them so.

The ribbon view in Calc has its setting burger button on the right and it opens on another screen next to it?

What completely breaks it for me is the broken window resize. The ribbon tab titles are not rescaled and become inconveniently small. I then discovered the the compact grouped view and it made a better initial impression on me. Then I snapped the the window to the left and the UI is just cut off. Manually resizing it horizontally just breaks everything even more until the UI is empty and the rest is moved into the arrow.

The old school UI view meanwhile works and resizes, but it might be the slowest and laggiest UI on resize with goofy stretching I have seen in quite some time.

Also I really think the default theming and the 6 presets are questionable in fashion, but this is the least of its problems.

Wondering what happened to the development of LibreOffice? There are definitive improvements and probably there are even better under the hood changes, but why would such a large project ship such a bad experience? Was the core of the UI never touched the past 15 years? I have to to use an alternative.

EDIT: Resize runs better after forcing Skia Software renderer. Should not have to do that with an up to date AMD driver. Skia/Vulkan was the culprit. Disabling Skia leads to flicker on resize, so even more rendering bugs.

I see a temperature map of the sea around Italy reaching above 30 C today. Obviously the sea water hasn't this cozy temperature deep beneath the surface yet, maybe in a few decades, so where is the measurement taken depth wise?

With the recent influx my instance is barely able to keep up. I am talking about loading times of 10 seconds and more for thread comments which are near instantaneous for smaller servers. Search is technically unusable.

So how is your experience with that? Have you had to migrate your account because of that?

The subreddit r/steam, about the digital game storefront, received as many other subreddits a notice to open the community again, or else the mods would be replaced by those who abide.

The mods followed suit posting the following automod message under every new post:

As ya'll likely know, we've been dark to support the blackout against reddit's antagonistic behavior towards its own userbase. The admins sent us a message today saying we must open or get removed, so here we are.

For those of you browsing this subreddit on non-official apps (Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc), they will break on July 1st due to reddit's new policies. We're opening back up but will leave permanent stickies in the subreddit and threads to keep folks in the know.

Our Discord [contains link to https://discord.gg/steam] server is active, don't forget to check it out.

Good luck and god speed.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

On visit, you quickly notice there is a community wide effort to focus on the literal topic of the given name and post about vapors, steam trains, and kitchen appliances. While posts about the gaming platform get downvoted.

With more and more alternatives appearing to Lego which also increase in variety and even surpass at times Lego quality, why focus just on this company for a brick building community? I for example have been badly burned by Lego's handling of the Mindstorms brand and there are more compatibility broken product lines from Lego.

Is posting other brands alright here? Will it lead to unpleasant conflicts from Lego, if their brand name is used?

I tried to login with the E-Mail option on Firefox and without error message it loads something and goes to the frontpage. Chromium browsers worked flawlessly and so does Firefox in Private Mode.

How to correctly identify the cause of this issue, whether it is a broken cache, wrong setting or some interruption because of an extension? I never dealt with this login method so unsure what to look for.
