Well ortolan was typically eaten with a napkin covering one’s head, to hide one’s shame from God for eating it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why don't chips come in cereal bags?

Games@lemmy.world•The Blood of Dawnwalker lets you complete areas in any order, kill any NPCs you like, and still complete the game after failing every quest: 'We're giving even more freedom to players'English
42·15 days agoThey didn’t say it’s meaningless, just suggested that failing every quest leads to some type of conclusion to the game’s plot. It might not be a good conclusion, but the story ends.

Nobody’s selling debt to collectors after a couple months, especially not large debts like to a contractor. They want the thousands owed, not pennies on the dollar from a collection agency.
Your phone company will send your debt to collections almost immediately because it’s not worth the hassle of fighting to collect $200 from you when they can get $50 from a collection agency instead.
Ironic, isn’t it?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know?
11·25 days agoI think that’s fair, but lots of people can’t navigate without Google Maps, and it’s notorious for directing people to u-turn.
That’s a long ride

4·1 month agoA 386 is probably underpowered, but a 486 could do it for sure. I used to play all the SNES games at 33mHz back in the day.

8·1 month agoSNES emulators ran just fine on <100 mHz CPUs three decades ago. You’d have to try pretty hard to find a PC that couldn’t do that nowadays.

Sounds like an issue on your end, not on DP’s end. You can 100% just plug in a DP cable into a powered-on computer and have it work instantly.

It has many other options, but the defaults are good enough for most cases.

At least on the Steam Deck, the touchpads are pretty effective as a mouse replacement in games. You wouldn’t play soulslikes with touchpads instead of joysticks, but RTS or 4X games gain a lot from having them.
They also make typing way better compared to selecting letters with a joystick.
