Sternto No Stupid Questions•If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?17·20 hours agoWhat oddly specific training. Is there a training regimen for a “Evangelion everyone got turned into Tang” situation too? What about the “Just got spider powers and a Canon event may be coming”?

You could “remix” memories, which was the whole schtick. You could also edit your combo string. The remixing was neat, but not that neat.
Nice at discount, would’t get at full price. The cool memory gimmick only got used like… once? Twice? Not enough, in any case.
Sternto World News•India and Pakistan tensions spill over into contest over whose flagpole is biggerEnglish22·3 days agoI mean, if I had to choose I’d much rather have a flagpole dick waving contest then nukes.
We’re talking about this particular context though, where it’s clear they’re doing it ironically due to the discussion.
The TACO truck keeps driving on down the road.
Sternto Computer RPGs•'The prejudice against turn-based RPGs isn’t completely gone': despite Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's massive success, its director reckons real-time action games still have an easier timeEnglish11·7 days agoRTA games deffo have an easier time of it but lets not act like turn based is dead. Deltarune, BG3, Octopath, P5R, Dragon Quest 2/3, Yakuza Infinite Wealth, Metaphor, (and loads more) are all recent and did numbers.
Don’t feel obligated to finish books you aren’t keen on, as seems to be the case with Brave New World. Have you given Light Novels a go? Plenty of manga and anime (Mushoku Tensei immediately springs to mind as one) came from those roots.
“How would they deal with the army?” Probaby even better then other folks in shitty technicals like Afghanistan and Vietnam did to be honest. They aren’t going to nuke American rebels because then they’d win a big radioactive pile of shit. Think they’d shoot missiles in NYC? Fat fucking chance. Even tanks rolling down Main street is gonna set off alarms.
SternOPMto Neat - For neat stuff you found•This Man Kept a Meticulous List of All 3,599 Books He’d Read Since 1962. When He Died, His Family Published It OnlineEnglish2·7 days agoIf you’re talking about read, I’m working on it!
If you’re talking about the bookshelf though, I gotta get another, mines packed and I’ve started double stacking, plus I’ve build a bit of a backlog I wanna knock out.

When He Died, His Family Published It OnlineEnglish4·7 days agoI don’t think I’m at close to 3,600, but I feel like if I did keep a log I’d be somewhere in the low 4 digits. Got at least a hundred+ on the shelf at the moment
Sternto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related•On TikTok, warnings spread about the herbal tonic 'Feel Free'English26·8 days agoShouldn’t be shocked that something containing addictive substances is in fact addictive.
Sternto Mildly Interesting•Billionaire Jack Ma tried to behave like Elon Musk. He lost his fortune after publically mocking Chinese regulators. Now he is just a small millionaire and was spotted riding a bike.7·8 days agoI was going to suggest guillotines but I suppose taxes work too
Why buy new when I have a backlog, the PS1/2 catalog emulated, and can wait 6+ months for a sale
pizza face down on pizza is a calzone or a sandwich, situationally.
Sternto News•Neo-Nazi group leader sentenced to 20 years in prison for planning an attack on Maryland’s power grid12·10 days agoalways surprised we don’t see more grid attacks. Most of that stuff just has a lock on it and not much else. Pair of bolt cutters and a few molotovs and youve taken down a grid for thousands.
Sternto Humble Bundle•August 2025 Humble Choice: Persona 5 Royal, Banishers: Ghost of New Eden, My Time at Sandrock and moreEnglish3·10 days agoI think thats the cheapest P5R has ever been.
I saved this because I saw a relevant article, then forgot about it for a day. Anyhow
