I managed to get myself back into Snowrunner this weekend following the Season 10 release. Honestly it’s my favorite expansion so far for two simple reasons: the second map has a garage, and all the warehouses (so far) have unlimited quantities of materials, instead of the limited set that has been the norm through most of Years 1, 2, and 3 (so far).

Otherwise, just grinding away on the OSRS group ironman as usual!

I only found out about the emoji keyboard when I got a Microsoft ergo keyboard at work, and it has a dedicated button for the emoji keyboard

Or maybe it has to do more with the region in which they’re lost. The USCG is typically very good about aiding anyone within their AOR, no matter their socioeconomic class. This should be framed more as “why isn’t Europe/Greece doing their jobs” than “why are the USCG/Canada actually doing their jobs”.

Didn’t Reddit already drop at least 40% in valuation from when they started the IPO process a year or so ago?

Definitely the mobile version of Stardew Valley

Of course! The biggest help for me was having friends that kept me on track, just as I kept them on track. It’s easy to convince yourself to take a 3 hour study break. It’s hard to convince yourself and a couple friends of the same. Good luck!!!

What worked for me was having a couple good friends in my degree program, and always doing the homework together on campus. I never did homework actually at home, and that did wonders for my concentration. I was able to say “if I’m on campus, I’m doing my coursework. If I’m home, I can do whatever I want”, which really helped mentally.

My first doomscrolling experiences were FML and I Can Haz Cheezeburger

Yuuuup. I found it an hour or so after making this comment. It just wasn’t where I expected at first, which is really on me lol

I highly recommend PC Partpicker for compiling all your components (although I don’t typically follow the listed purchase links). The comparability checker it has can save some real headaches!

Otherwise, some general advice:

1. Remember the motherboard standoff screws. Most cases these days have them pre-installed, but my first rig did not. And I bent the mobo a little bit before realizing my mistake. It still worked in the end, but it’s now my #1 cautionary tale about PC Building.

2. Do yourself a favor, and make an attempt at proper cable management. It’ll make replacing components so much easier down the line.

3. Get a fully modular PSU (if in your budget). This will help with #2 above immensely.

4. Read the manual that comes with your motherboard. It usually has a lot of guidance for assembling the computer, especially if this is your first time.

5. Have fun! PC Building/Gaming is one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m always glad to see new people getting interested in it!

Good luck, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I’m using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I’d like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I’m not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I’m sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.

It’s always worth it to fall off this particular wagon!
