I am currently in college, so I would also need to look into colleges to transfer into.

If you meant NYC area: You're over-thinking everything else, just focus on which school you want to transfer into and then figure out what their dorm / student housing situation is. If you're doing school your first 1-2 years will be much, much easier living with other college roommates. Once you get to know people you can team up and look for apartments together. Yes that means you'll be in roommate / shared apartment situations for the foreseeable future, that's just how it is for college students in the NYC area.

Don't go anywhere near the NYC area if you're a college student and think you'll find an apartment for just yourself, the rent would be insane unless you're a trust fund kid and/or have other wealth to spend.

Aim for upstate NY if you specifically need cheaper housing. Not near NYC / not Long Island / probably north of Albany. Lots of colleges in NY upstate but new students usually live in dorms up there.

Yeah I was wondering that too. Their source code page (https://gitea.com/akouzoukos/apotris) does list instructions on building for Android yet they do not publish an Android build there or on F-Droid. Maybe it's still a work-in-progress, unclear if their source will actually compile a playable Android game but someone could give it a shot & let us know how it goes :D

I also wonder if the controls would work right on an Android device without keyboard/mouse/controller.

In the meantime Block Drop is a decent open source Tetris clone on Android, also on F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.blockdrop.game/).. this one is more old school simple Tetris action, Apotris looks like it's aiming for newer style Tetris.

Yeah I glanced at it but those controls don't look great, would be better to run the ROM in a proper emulator with a controller IMO.

First Castlevania is a classic, though you did just remind me that Simon's Quest is a classic in its own right. That day/night cycle they implemented in the game was great, might be the first side scroller I played that did time passing like that.

It's still around, there might even be an active scene near you that you could join in with if you're inclined. Last few shows I've seen in the northeast U.S. were for Doom Scroll, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards, Playboy Manbaby, Sister Wife Sex Strike, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, and probably some others I'm not thinking of right this second. They all have songs about the current state of things and how expensive shit is.

Lots of bands in the UK too, offhand Lambrini Girls and Bob Vylan are pretty great. Hell if you want an example of the current state of things Bob Vylan actually had their travel Visas revoked in the U.S. so they can no longer play shows in the U.S.

The 'Shroom Burger at Shake Shack is still the best non-meat burger I've had by far.

Linux would make more sense but if you're dead-set on Windows then I guess you could try Win 11 Pro (or Enterprise) with whichever debloat tool you prefer. I've had good experience with Win11Debloat (https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat).

Don't expect too much with 8GB RAM but at least you can start out removing the AI stuff, Windows Store apps, etc. to trim down the bloat. Be prepared to have to re-run debloat scripts and/or re-install Windows, Microsoft likes to add new types of bloat post-install.

And keep an eye on any and all apps and services that are configuring themselves to auto-start on Windows boot, you don't need any optional stuff to auto-start and take up memory in the background if you're constrained to 8GB RAM.

The Boys is about non-superhero characters in a superhero universe, pretty much matches your post question. The core group of people ("The Boys") start out as regular people living in a world being trashed by people with superpowers.

As the series progresses it does veer off from that but maybe the first season is closer to what you're looking for.

But if that’s the case, why did the wand kill Harry the first time in the woods? Why didn’t it just fly out, spin around, and hit Voldemort then?

At that specific point Harry Potter was still the second to last existing horcrux (leaving Nagini as the last one) so you could say the Elder Wand was actually aiming for the piece of Voldemort horcrux.

During the final duel Harry Potter is no longer a Voldemort horcrux, he's just himself at that point.

At least that's my take on how that worked out but it's been a bit since I've read the books, maybe there's a detail I'm forgetting.

Not a doctor and you may want a doctor's opinion on this stuff...

But I'll mention what you're describing is very much brain fog like symptoms. It's more well known as a long covid symptom nowadays however it did always appear as a symptom of other infections. I have an older family member that went through an intense encephalitis infection (for him it started out with a viral mosquito infection, west nile virus to be specific) and since encephalitis affects the brain he eventually recovered with brain fog symptoms among other things.

Thing is that healthier/younger people can be infected with viruses leading to encephalitis and be asymptomatic (no symptoms) during that time, but down the road long term symptoms can show up like brain fog. Yes, like long covid, but other infections can lead to the same result is what I'm getting at. Getting some blood work done with a doctor would narrow down or rule out stuff like this.

Once worked with a guy who refused to wash dishes, said that is a woman's responsibility. He only uses paper plates and plastic utensils.

I never asked him if he cooked but kind of figure it'd the be same answer LOL.

I suspect most people (including me) are probably lurkers/upvoters. The lurkers will have more to say when the new season is live :)

Also, where does that subscriber count come from? I looked at this community via 3 different Lemmy instances & saw different numbers on each of them.. maybe that number is just specific to the amount of local instance members subscribed to that community. Here at lemmy.zip we're at 18 subscribers for !futurama@lemmy.world
