You don't have to read anything. Just drop and give me 20 pushups, king.

Do you think I should get a PC or a PS5 for my birthday? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Let me ask you, what is it about the PS5 that makes it even worth your consideration against a PC?

Music enjoyers: How do you select what type of music you listen to? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

90% of the time I know what I want to listen to.

The other 10% of the time I will listen to new things I've squirreled away in my personal listening queue, because the art was interesting, I've heard good things, or I randomly heard a song I like. Sometimes recommendations from friends will make it into that queue.

Random mixes, not usually. I'm far too picky. But there are niche subgenre mixes that can be good.

Could heating oil subsidies be reduced or replaced with subsidies for installing electric heating and houses.? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, I'm almost through the process right now. $0 cost to me (they're paying me a $250 bonus as well). My home is more than 30 years old, contrary to what another comment said about the feasibility of such a program in the US. It's definitely possible in Canada!

The Firefox extension Old Reddit Redirect works great. However, fuck Reddit.

On the other hand, I'm concerned about the use of the word "club" when you haven't invited us all over for a swim.

Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam (lemmy.ca)
 

I love 3D Platformers, but Steam does not seem to have many good recommendations for that tag (lots of non-3D platformers in the mix for some reason). Maybe there just aren't that many out there. What can you recommend?

Here are some that I have already played and want more similar to these:

-Cavern of Dreams

-Castle on the Coast

-A Hat in Time

-Demon Turf

-Frogun

-Sapo 3D

-New Super Lucky's Tale

-Yooka Laylee

-Toree series

-Pseudoregalia

Good racing games on Steam? (lemmy.ca)
 

Steam is having a Racing Fest sale until August 4th and I thought I might like to try. I used to play a lot of Gran Turismo 2 and 3 back in the day, especially the rally modes.

Any recommendations for me? Prefer anything under $10, no EA games, no Ubisoft games, and realistic although it's not as important.

I'm also interested in Garfield Kart - Furious Racing if anyone has an opinion on that.

Pizza night (lemmy.ca)
 

Homemade crust, pepperoni, red peppers.

The crust was just flour, water and a little salt. About 1.5cm thick. Once the dough ball was consistent I coated it with more flour to prevent sticking and then pressed it down into shape.

Pepperoni was sliced off a tube. It looks kind of greasy, but it wasn't too much, and I really like that it curled up a bit. I put the oven on high broil near the end to get it to crisp up a bit.

If you were not allowed to acquire any new clothes, how long do you think your current wardrobe would last? (lemmy.ca)
 

Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved (lemmy.ca)
 

Canada has implemented a new tax savings from December to February for some things like taxable groceries, crafts, and gaming physical media. I wanted to get a new Xbox controller and found the best price at Walmart for $55 a week ago. The tax holiday starts today and I now see that the $55 has increased to $62 and change, which is about how much tax I should be saving. Great to see this thinly veiled attempt to help Canadians ( /s - win votes) is just going to be extra profit in the corporations' pockets.

Suggest a GPU upgrade for my rig? (lemmy.ca)
 

Currently I have a 1060GTX 6GB (Evga I think?). It struggled to run Elden Ring but was tolerable for me on medium settings - still it frequently drops from 60fps to 40fps or so, rarely able to stay at an even 60.

Can you suggest a modest upgrade compatible with my build? I'm not obsessed with getting max settings, but something that will work decently for 5 years or so would be nice. I don't have an exact budget in mind, but the absolute maximum I would consider is $400 Canadian (approx $300 USD). Prefer to save some money for performance and keep it around $200-$300 CDN, if possible

Here's my parts list started in 2016 - GPU listed is not the current 1060

Something sticky has invaded my life (lemmy.ca)
 

It started about a week ago. I noticed a sticky feeling on my hands so I washed them (as I do regularly). Unfortunately it wasn't long before the feeling came back. I've started noticing it on everything I frequently touch - mouse/keyboard, Xbox controller, phone, on and on. I tried household cleaner, rubbing alcohol, water/soap on these surfaces and it seems to help for a short while, but it comes back within hours. Just now I gave my phone a good wipe with soapy water and as soon as it dried it feels sticky again.

I'm not sure what else to try or how to get rid of it.

Possible culprits I can guess at: -pollen? the cars around here have been covered in greenish yellow powder which I have seen before, but never experienced this stickyness. I don't use my car / touch the door handles very often.

-some sort of plastic or rubber is degrading, maybe my phone case? It's an Otterbox that's over 6 years old.

-a little weed container I bought around the same time this started, maybe the store had vape juice spilled on it? But I don't touch it often enough to warrant the spread of this profound stickyness.

Any ideas are welcome. It's driving me nuts.
