Seems like things are functional now. I imagine the servers got hit hard during the start of the sale.

Have you guys been together for a long time? If so, it might be worth struggling through his last year of studies together. If this is a fresh relationship, though, it may be easier to just set it aside until he's more available.

It's the best book I've ever played!

I used to watch a streamer who ended every stream with the phrase "humans are just house plants with anxiety" and that always resonated with me.

That form factor looks quite awkward for one-handed use. OG Blackberries were amazing because they were the perfect size to do things quickly one-handed, but you could switch to 2-handed typing for longer messages. I think it will be tricky to capture that kind of flexibility in a modern phone because the screens are so large.

Use SteamDB to check price histories. Steam Sales often present the lowest historical price on any game.

Castillo, who moved to the U.S. from Ecuador in 1993, said he has no problem understanding English but has been watching videos to study industry terms. “Some words I don’t understand, but I try to learn more English,” he said.

Asked whether he supports the president’s executive order, Castillo said he voted for Trump

Smh.

Same here. Nobara was too glitchy so I switched to Bazzite and love it so far. Sigh.

I watched anime a lot in my youth and young adulthood, and found that after about 10 years of daily watching I could easily pick up a new show and understand the gist of what was going on. Complex words or exposition tripped me up, though. Nowadays I rarely watch anime but I've been studying Japanese daily on Duolingo for 4 years, and sometimes I'll turn on a Japanese show as practice to try to recognize as many words as I can. It's a totally different beast - Now I actually understand the nuances of sentence structure and have a much larger vocabulary, instead of just knowing a few key words. It's a fun exercise.

The question wasn't "How long until you learned the language" but instead was "How long until you can watch an episode without subtitles". I think there's a huge difference there. Shows that are mostly action and lack a lot of exposition will mostly have simple dialog, and you don't need to have a grasp on sentence structure or have a huge vocabulary when you can just recognize a few key words and get a general understanding.

This is kind of a superpower though, isn't it? I owe much of my success to repeatedly reassessing each situation to find the best possible outcome. I don't understand how anyone can improve their situation by just going with the flow.
