I'm Australian, living in Sydney. I have 3 cats, all rescues. I play games, but I kinda suck. I watch Twitch, but I shitpost a lot. I mod on Twitch, but I still shitpost a lot.

Best month on Twitch *so far*...

TL;DR: Fitbits are kinda junk. You'd probably be better off getting a full blown smart watch because they have all the health monitor stuff built in anyways.

Apparently there was some kind of defect identified that Fitbit couldn't fix, so they just sent replacements. Neither of them ever had any issues until they both just suddenly died about 2 years later within a week of each other.

Ms Shanks had a Fitbit years ago that she got along with a new phone on a plan. About 6 months later a package arrived out of the blue with a brand new one and an instruction card telling us to dispose of the old one. It worked fine so she kept the new one and gave the old one to her dad.

Dude, wasps are assholes. It's probably not even your fault, they'll go you for the crime of existing.

If you're on desktop, you can get extensions for most browsers to either force shorts to play in the regular player, or remove them from view entirely. I use "Youtube-shorts block" in Firefox for this.

I blame Civvie for getting me to play it for the first time ever.

It coincides with the "mid-November" that Valve hinted at for Australian launch date and the Steam store page shows a price in Dollarydoos. I'm gonna try to get one, hopefully I don't get cucked by scalpers. Bloody scumbags.

It went into System Protect Mode, hard resetting itself so that it doesn't have to run Call of Duty. Nice feature.

Dude, I swear that Gwyn is the splitting image of a friend of mine. You wouldn't happen to have been cruising around Twitch when you were concepting her would you? ๐Ÿ˜„
