    Steam’s own numbers show that it had a peak of 36,905,706 players today. Both of those numbers beat the previous record of 36,354,393 concurrent players, which was set in mid-March of 2024.

    36905706 ÷ 36354393 = 1.015
    

    This is 1.5% more than the previous record set 3½ months ago. I suppose its nice that the numbers haven’t declined but I’m not sure I would call today’s figure remarkable in any way.

    Also, SCOTUS is dismantling the last of democracy in favor of the corporate authoritarian state and there isn’t a damn thing a single one of us can do to stop it, so, might as well enjoy the immersive distraction.

      And not only that, but if you spritz leftover pizza with a bit of water before putting it in the microwave, it brings out the flavour more and prevents it from drying out.

      (Figure that’s about as relevant.)

        An upgrade on that technique is to put the slice in a pan, and pour some water while it’s frying, and put a lid on it to let the steam melt the cheese 👌

        Yes but watering only on the ground will cause your tree roots to develop out near the surface. You should consider underground irrigation when planting to encourage deeper root growth.

      Horrible, yes we know, but how is this related to the community or post?

      When we first got our little kitty, we couldn’t as a family agree on a name so now the cat’s name is Little Kitty. Little Kitty is still little compared to our other cat, who is a big tough guy that never shuts up. We named him after a famous general from a war that was over 200 years ago.

        Fascism is rising around the world, and if the largest military in the world is controlled by a dictatorship, it will absolutely affect you.
