Sweet, I guess I’m going to have to get a PC at some point. I actually played Riven for iPadOS recently and it was still fun, but the point and click is pretty tedious.

I’m not sure a remake willl ever match the magic of when I originally played in 1998, though. My laptop was so junky I played most of the game under a blanket because the screen was so dark, haha.

Ad Riven. I read all the novels, too!

It’s been a while, but I wanted to come back and thank you for this rec, because I really like the blue lizard sunscreen. I got the stick for my face and tube stuff for the rest of my body and I’m really pleased with them. These actually rub in very well and I’m not leaving white streaks on everything I touch.

Priorities!

Sweet, thanks for letting me know. I’ll hang tight until it gets fixed then.

Ha, it’s no big secret - just my compulsion to respond to the little ? in the corner of a photo in the photos app that indicates someone in the photo is unknown. So my People album is my family & friends plus so many LOTR characters, Molly the American Girl doll, Kim K, Billy Joel looking like Anakin Skywalker, Joseph from the Old Testament, and so many more.

Plaid button down, skinny jeans, and boat shoes. This means I have reached my final form where I dress exactly like my mother.

There are several spider communities set up on lemmy already, but I’d love to see them take off. Everybody tell your tarantula/spider-loving friends!

If you’re talking about speech, I think you’re talking about the “mid-Atlantic” accent, although that fell off earlier than 2000. It was a fake upper-class accent actors were trained in. I don’t know much more than that about it.

This made me laugh and cry

Mine is more like, ope, it’s looking a bit cloudy outside. I guess I can’t mow today in case I get rained on and electrocuted by my electric mower!

Feels great in the moment and awful later when I have a jungle to deal with.

Laser eyes. I’d trim all my trees, maybe start a service.

In the early 2000s there were a couple of different forums I liked, so once a day I’d walk over to the library to use the internet and catch up. I’ve missed having that kind of healthy relationship with the internet, haha.

That is a very good testimonial for Coppertone!

I wish I could pin a comment.

This sounds like it would be a really good everyday option. I will look for it, thanks!

I think I have used this in the past. I don’t remember it very well, but I seem to remember liking it and I see that they have a mineral version that I can get locally, so thank you!

Thanks, I haven’t tried a stick before, but that does sound really appealing, especially for carrying around. I had a sunscreen leak in my bag with my phone ages ago. Amazingly, it still worked, but I spent the next few years with a very blotchy screen.

I created a playlist of the recommendations here and thought I might as well share: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9W-RMmS6ewK9p8OtJEKXtClpXEibXEIU

I also added this video on the Boeing 737 Max from MegaProjects, and a couple on a subject near and dear to my heart: Boy Bands of the 90s:

When Corden Met Barlow and The Boy Band Con.

I know communities like these can get a little silly and they’re easy to make fun of, but they really do serve an important purpose, IMO. The number of people who have to be told that it’s not normal for your partner to scream at you, or that no, your partner actually isn’t a great person if they do fill in the blank is really sad to me. And for every person asking, there are certainly more lurking that can also benefit from reading that. They might have to wade through a bunch of nonsense and AI-generated stories to find it, but I’m glad there’s a place for it.
