This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!
It’s so deep, expansive and immersive and I’m not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.
I’ve never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I’m night bottle curious 🤔
Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?
I’ll update if I piss the bed.
Do people wake up in the middle of the night and drink a whole bottle of water? Am I missing something?
I’m usually like “don’t want to be warm under the covers and need to pee, I don’t dare hydrate past 9 pm”
I used to think that as well.
But I took the saying “adopt and shop responsibly” to heart and looked up what a responsible breeder has to do to be considered one.
Genetic tests determine if the dogs have known genes that cause diseases. If one of the parents has a recessive gene for a disease that won’t express in the pups because the other parent doesn’t have it, you can keep dogs that have desirable traits like excellent personality, lack of anxiety and general health in the gene pool—helping to maintain genetic diversity while not passing down a disease.
The kennel clubs (CKC) have started helping to reduce inbreeding by keeping track of the lineage of dogs and avoiding inbreeding by calculating the coefficient of inbreeding. The COI is a metric used in dog breeding to measure the level of inbreeding in a dog’s pedigree. It is an excellent tool for an institution that used to inadvertently encourage inbreeding because they created standards. Can more be done? Yes, is this a step in the right direction? Yes.
It’s worth noting that genetic tests don’t know everything, they might only test for a handful of the 20,000 or so genes and we don’t know what all genes do, and some genes are benign in some breeds and dangerous in others. This is why x-rays and elbow and hip assesments of the parents are still important. It’s also why meeting the parents of you puppy is important. If you don’t like them, you won’t like their pups.
On top of that epigenetics massively impacts the behaviour of pups. This is especially true if the grandmother of a puppy had a happy stress free life. Yes, we now know that improvements from nurture not just nature can be inherited. Dogs with happy lives produce happy dogs.
A responsible breeder will have done all of this, as well as done early socialisation and desensitization for the first eight weeks of the pups and many more considerations like limiting the amount of times they use a dam. These tests and assessments would have cost them around $10,000 for the dam and sire.
I wrote this insane response because if typing this on a meme educated one person who might get a dog, then the world is just a little bit of a better place.
Yeah! Who’s getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃
If people ask for gift hints I often say “fun socks!”
This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.
If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use “Doggy Time” by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.
Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.
Thirsty dog speaks the truth.
I’ll take one
Thank fuck for this ai summary, it took seconds to read. I opened the video just to see how long it would take to watch it. 5 minutes of life would be gone, god damn it.
So I’m the kind of person who runs back ups using two synologies and is more of a GUI guy. I use mac and pcs very fluently but I’m not entirely terminal or command line literal.
Will something like this cause more problems if I’m looking to get rid of Google drive and start switching to next cloud or will this make my life easier?
I really really want to move from google workspace, google photos and google drive. I used it all to backup a 16TB archive, sharing photos with family and friends and keeping my personal files in the cloud and synched across computers. I used a Synology to backup the archive from the computer locally to the Synology and offsite to google drive. But here’s the thing, I’m a somewhat PC and Mac-savvy technical guy, but purely GUI. Is moving to Nextcloud on my synology going to be as easy as moving to google drive? I’m a little scared TBH. There are so many ways of installing next cloud and doing 3-2-1 backups and I don’t have time to handle a little error on a Synology destroying my whole workflow for days… Someone give me hope.
Oh, that whole thing. Every generation has to put up with that. I don’t really want to be a cranky old man.
I’m a 90s kid but don’t use Facebook except as Craigslist for selling things.
“I drank from the garden hose” is a way to say you’re from the 90s? What?.. what other stupid things are they saying? Do people not do this now? And they didn’t in the 80s? Were the 90s peak lawn?
Hey, maybe all those people listening to mono audio on their little Bluetooth speakers can finally experience stereo or more. Welcome to 1957!
I like this because the only way I buy Bluetooth speakers is if you can buy two that easily pair to create proper stereo separation. In a world where everyone seems to use a single mono speaker, bringing 2 dinky speakers has consistently blown other people’s minds more than any audio setup I’ve ever had and it’s always surprised me.
Yes let’s play second life on stadia through YouTube
Thank you for adding descriptions. Just lists of random projects are a lot to go through.
Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.
I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn’t want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.
