I’m Talking Lets Make It Adaptive or make it whatever you want let’s get creative with it. I’ll Release My Attempt In The Comment when I finish
Action button is replacing the mute switch
You know that moment when you step outside, and you instantly know you’ve made a grave wardrobe error? I live in Canada, where the weather’s more unpredictable than a White Lotus plot twist. So I created a shortcut that leverages ChatGPT app to decide what to wear.
This little hack converts a bunch of weather variables into the single most crucial decision: what to put on. I even fed it some info about my lifestyle (I bike a lot and prefer tank tops) so the suggestions are tailored to me.

Key features:

I’ll be listening to Stuff You Should Know or Behind the Bastards to fall asleep and then the mid-show advert will start playing super loud.
And it will open with audio of a police call in which someone screams in pure terror ‘He shot her!’
Or a different advert of another police call where a women is sobbing because her children have been murdered right in front of her.
These ads are just ridiculous and they keep appearing every few months. Always the same cold open style advert of a traumatic police call! Why??? Who is interested in this stuff?
I normally skip the ads, but I can’t do this when i’m trying to fall asleep.
These guys are totally insufferable, but they cover really interesting topics. Is there anything like this without the constant banter? It seems like a lot of podcasts I find cover interesting topics but the hosts try too hard to be funny for views. Also like Redhanded, Theories of the Third Kind, Lex Fridman really anything about history, philosophy, etc. Thanks in advance!!!
Also happening to a friend of mine. Is this happening to anyone else? I need this trash out of my feed and don’t really want to switch apps if I don’t have to.
It just showed up. I didn’t subscribe, and when I unsubscribe it goes away briefly and comes back. Much like the herpes the Paul brothers most likely have.
I discovered Michael Hobbes through Maintenance Phase and am also enjoying If Books Could Kill , so I thought I’d also check out the back catalogue of You’re Wrong About. I’m having a hard time getting into it after one and a half episodes. So I’m hoping you all can recommend your favorite episodes to help me get feelers for the show.
Thanks!
Piece on the fallout from Kast Media: “Comedian Whitney Cummings, who hosts the podcast Good For You, told Hot Pod that she believes Kast Media owes her at least $350,000 for ad sponsorships — though the amount could be more.
“The whole thing is a nightmare,” Cummings wrote in an email. Cummings, who signed a multiyear partnership with Kast back in December 2021, left the network in June. Several other high-profile creators have left Kast, including Theo Von, Logan Paul, Jason Ellis, and Tony Hawk.”

I only read nonfiction and am burning through my list fast. I’ll go first: in cold blood by Truman capote
For me it was daniel quinn’s ismael. Its one of those books that you stop reading middle of the sentence, close the covers and just stare at it, with little, surprised smile on your face. It really made me think about our world and our impact to it.
When I was in elementary school, I remember checking out children’s books from my school library. Beverly Cleary books and things like that. So, I was interested from a young age.
But then, in seventh grade, I read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. That was my first gut punch, as I call it. That was the first book that gave me FEELINGS. I liked reading before I read The Outsiders, but I was hooked after I read it.
I have never cried over a book. I have never even got goose bumps. I liked ‘when breath becomes air’. I’m not really into love stories/romance and prefer non fiction/autobiographies.
Preferably middle or working class in the US, if poss 😊
Suggest me a book (:
I’m 28f. My birthday is next month. When I was a kid I was a voracious reader. As a gift to myself I am going to make/buy a reading list for 1 year.
My goal is a book a week. I have big goals for getting back into reading but thought starting with the classics is a good idea.
What are your favorite classics?
I know that’s weird, because whoever you play is the protagonist, but let me try to explain. Something where the main plot has someone else doing all the cool crazy battles (or at least gets the glory) and you aren’t the, at least perceived, hero. Maybe if their is a main villain he doesn’t care much about you but rather a party member who accomplishes way more. Just imagine generic hero protagonist except you ain’t playing them and they are either an NPC or just a part of the story somewhere. Maybe it’s easiest to imagine a game you like just from the perspective of another character.

I’m sure you know what I mean even if I said it poorly.

Any release date, platform and genre is welcome. Thanks a lot!

Edit: Thanks for many of these answers, some real good ones here, however some of you are skipping over what I’m asking. Please don’t recommend “you were the hero all along and just …
As in title - recommend me games in which the world slowly becomes visibly worse and worse over time, especially when it’s a side effect of the player character’s actions. An example of that could be a game called OFF >!in which each zone becomes an unlivable hellhole after the person responsible for it dies!<.
Please DO NOT recommend From Software games, as I’ve already played them.
I can only think of stuff like League, Factorio and Warframe, 3 completely different games, but you can spend thousands of hours in these games. Looking for games with healthy playerbase where I can spend a lot of time in my free time. Wouldn’t want to spend hundreds if not thousands of hours in a game that will soon have end of service. Thanks in advance!
These are meant to be games that you probably haven’t played, not obvious ones like Skyrim etc. In no particular order.

One of the most stressful yet rewarding games I’ve ever played. You *will* die, but you’ll learn how to manage better on the next run. Also available on GamePass.

Better than Portal and I’ll die on that hill. Also if you love to hunt for secrets, the secrets in this game will blow your mind when you figure them out. Has a 2nd game coming sometime this year.

I wish I could erase my memory and experience this game again. It’s a Skyrim mod that was turned into a standalone. There …
Beyond the likes of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim - does anyone here know any RPGs that give the same level of freedom to just come up with your own background/playstyle for a character and sort of just “exist” in the world, fulfilling the role you chose for yourself?
As an example of what I mean, in Morrowind one of my favourite playthroughs back in the day, I made an Argonian fisherman and pearl diver. I used a few mods to make it so there was more life in the sea, and so there was a small hut I could live in, in Seyda Neen. I didn’t follow the main quest, I’d just go out each day, fish or search for pearls, sell them, and use them to buy food etc (since I used some survival mod too).
And in Skyrim I once played a wandering thief, using various survival based mods I would camp outside of towns and live there, but sneak in at night, and get into various houses/shops to make my living that way stealing items.
Some of my favourite RPG memories have been …
