Merry Christmas Meta! This is an amazing community and I'm grateful to be part of it.

I see some folks are not into alcohol here, but that's not me lol. I guess I'm pretty much drinking your part today, so we averaged out in world statistics! Isn't that great?

Been drinking some beer with my family the whole day. Don't judge me metanime pls

Once again, merry Christmas! :giggle::giggle:

Ps. 4 hours for Christmas still in Brazilian lands

I'm currently looking at a bottle of small estate Cognac and 5 different bottles of Gin. I totally forgot to get any beers or Kahlua and Stoly for a Kahlua White Russian or five.

Capitalist Santa doesn't give any presents, as that would make you lazy and entitled. He just assumes that the invisible hand of the free market will reward those that deserve it, and punish the lazy and entitled.
He will use his indentured labourers in his workshop to produce gifts, and sell them at fair market rates, using his impossibly fast sled to cut logistic costs to zero, thus making immense profits.

About one week ago I tried some After Eight chocolate for the first time in my life. Who thought that toothpaste-filled chocolate would be a great idea?

Here's my proposal for a re-branding.



...I actually dislike chocolate in general...
toothpaste chocolate?


Hmm..... I mean in gone home you do have to explore for certain items to find the end.... Its less of a "game" than the astounding, What Remains of Edith Finch.... But, to me its a game. Its more of a game than Dear Ester in your definition. Did you ever play it or just watch youtube videos?

A Short Hike has a small area where you can explorer more and more as you can greater climbing and gliding abilities. No fail state but there are progress limitations.



I understand the sensitivity. I used to have a decent pair of headpones, I had to sell them off and only now can I use headphones at low volumes for short periods of time.

If you're prone to swimmers ear, like me, I'd suggest earplugs for the shower. Foam ones work fine. Also, be careful of a doctor using the water flush method, as I've gotten ear infections from trapped water AFTER seeing the doctor! They specialized ear doctors have a suction system they can use, so ask about that.

It has been a at least 3 months now and I don't seem to have the issues I was having when I had swimmers ear. The biggest issue that I has was stuff coming out of my ear that smelled like poop. The smell would bother me a lot but I don't seem to have that any more but I am a bit afraid of it coming back when ever I feel something weird in my ear (and me hoping that it's just one of my hairs getting in my ear instead of earwax coming out), For headphone I think I am using mine for about 5+ hours a day because of work (and how I can listen to music while working). What I bothers me is when there is a very loud noise all of a sudden and also when I put my phone (using my phones built in speaker and not headphone) to full volume and have it in front of me, I can't really concentrate on what is being said.

I wish you the best time with your loved ones Meta :photoblobheart:

I have tried for several minutes but find nothing to add that could be worth mentioning in this very post. Take care, and never lose sight of what’s truly important.

Why does Japan always has the coolest shit ;_;
Ah Japan embracing the commercial part of the holiday. And ya that is what most people do now adays any way. Do people work on Christmas in Japan? At least in places like the US you get the day off and depending where you work you might even get paid for the day.

Also the legendary KFC Christmas special (which is likely sold out this point in time from the way that I read that it works)

I'm guessing a "paid Holiday" means something different in the UK VS the US?

So I went to work today 12/24 even though it was optional and well I was the only person in the entire building. I only worked 4 hours instead of 8 years but because I am a temp and not a regular I don't get the paid holiday and instead it's just a day I get off.

Oh I know that this is a thing that is very popular in South Korea but is beer with fried chicken popular in other parts of the world?


And next week I might finally go and watch the new Star Wars movie.

I am not sure if this has already been shared but it looks like SE may care after all.

============

Notice: The below patch was released on December 23, 2019


To all the players who have been playing DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2.

Hello everyone, I am the producer of this game, Shiraishi.
Thank you very much for playing DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2!

I have been looking at your comments, feedback, not to mention your great builds that have been posted on the Steam community hub since the launch of the JUMBO DEMO.
The development team has taken on board your feedback and will publish a patch in the coming days which includes the following four fixes:

1. Fixing the issues pertaining to highly sensitive mice
If you are using a gaming mouse, depending on the Report Rate (Polling Rate) setting, there are instances when the camera movement speed drops significantly when controlling with a mouse. We have prepared a setting option in the config tool for players using a gaming mouse.

2. Individually control initial automatic graphic settings
We had prepared an automatic adjustment function that analyses the player's PC specifications and optimizes the graphic setting, only when the game is initially launched. That said, if a player adjusted the graphic quality manually in the config tool prior to launching the game, the game's automatic adjustment function would read just the setting during the initial start-up.
Therefore, we will adjust this function, so the graphic setting is not automatically adjusted, only in cases where the setting has been manually changed. *This function only kicks in when the game is launched for the first time, so there is no impact on those who have already been playing the game.

3. Fixing the issue pertaining to certain detection not functioning normally due to an increase in FPS
Depending on the environment, there are instances when the game exceeds 60FPS; such cases could lead to certain detections not functioning normally, leading to cases where it obstructs game progression, so this issue will be fixed. (For example, in the tutorial, when the captain enters the hold of the ship, the player is obstructed from progressing further.)

4. Fixing the issue where NPCs cannot jump
We are fixing the issue where NPCs would not be able to jump if you assign “cross”, “Start”, or “back” button or clear the assign for the “jump” movement in the pad operation.

We hope you carry on enjoying the game!
DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2 Producer - Takuma Shiraishi

Oh hey, someone else who enjoys FutureFunk. It's my guilty pleasure.

I think it was back in 2015/16 when I was much more into it. The channel still puts up new videos all the time but I don't really watch them. I think I maybe watch 4-5 videos from that channel, but they are good videos.








City Pop is pretty cool.

I have Spotify and I think that the next time I am at work I am going to ask them if it's okay if I blast some City pop beats. We have this one Bluetooth speaker that my coworkers connect to and play music on.

I'm just surprised that you can presumably buy an entire Christmas dinner on an Seven Eleven or what ever they call them there.

There are a few other channels, but I haven't keep track with their new releases either. I'm still waiting for someone to mix '87 city pop, italo-disco and detroit techno. :dana_blanket:



it's 12pm, not too early to start drinking, right?

You mean at a "Comvinee" (convenience store shortened) and ya (I didn't watch the entire video so I am not sure if what you are talking about is mentioned there), but just like KFC it does seem to be a common thing. The thing though is because it does not seem to be a native cultural stuff that it was adopted in a different way. It looks like for New Years that people do have a special thing that they cook themselves but because Christmas is a non traditional Holiday there.

In the US, you might cook something similar for both Thanksgiving and Christmas (Thanksgiving a turkey and for Christmas a big Ham or something) and from what I have seen it does not seem that Japanese kitchens where designed to cook stuff like that (I would think portion sizes also have something to do with it).

In anime they make it seem like Christmas is more of a time you spend with a lover as apposed to say your entire family.


These are all just baseless assumptions that I am making.
