missingno already explained it, so tangentially related: I like to look out for fun or interesting names. makes a bit of a game with my partner and we read a lot more of the names that way.
Also, playing through a bunch of metal gear at the moment, it’s fun to count the number of roles Kojima gave himself :D
Tried a bunch of different “classic game but roguelite” like cloverpit (slot machine), dominova (dominoes), dungeons and degenerate gamblers (blackjack) demos and while they’re not as polished as say Balatro, i’m really enjoying that vibe. easy to do a run or two and log off again - or sit down and indulge that gambling itch for 5 hours.
Another good one (sadly not participating SNF it seems) is Dice with Death.
Somewhat narrative, moody dice game with tons of different “builds” to try and assemble throughout a run with different characters vastly changing how the game plays.
shooting live rounds into a crowd of (presumably) unarmed or lightly armed (think sticks, stones) protesters is a vile, inexcusable failure or intentional executions to retain the status quo.
A police force with tear gas, water cannons and riot gear has zero reasons to resort to live ammunition.
So, offering support to a sovereign state is not encroaching on a neighbouring state’s borders.
However, annexing a bordering sovereign state is per definition encroaching on another state’s borders.
Even if you do it with unmarked soldiers and officially state it’s totally not you doing it.
Doing the same thing openly, 8 years later with full military force is also illegal.
Correctly predicting an invasion doesn’t justify it.
I keep remembering that automated edit-and-delete-suite for reddit when i’m scrolling feddit at work, but then forget when i’m home.
It’s about damn time i nuke my stuff.
Not sure if a generic tap water filter will do you any good.
They’re not really made to filter any dangerous contaminants.
Reports from the rest of the world:
Russian attack kills 3 in Ukraine’s city of Dnipro, governor says

Right populist leaning german news outlet welt.de says:
In der Stadt Dnipro und Umgebung seien drei Menschen getötet und sechs verletzt worden.
In the City Dnipro and it’s surroundings three people have allegedly been killed and six have been injured.

I used to run Mint and Win7 parallel in uni (gosh, a decade ago?) since we were working with ruby - at the time basically impossible to run and dev under windows.
In matters of development there are almost only advantages, depending on your target platform of course. Bash is great, tools and packages are usually easier to setup than on windows.
For gaming my only linux experience is the Steamdeck. I’ve ran a bunch of non-steam games and Proton (the bridge for windows games under Linux) does all the heavy lifting for you. I only had issues with the Riot launcher, which tended to break when detecting a new update.
I wish i could agree with you, but some critical moments still hinge on “totally not a jedi” force user with staff. Unless I’m misremembering, its been a while.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a good movie, I just don’t share the hype. The premise is cool, but to me personally, it falls a bit flat.
One hundred percent, certified banger and I love it.
I’m gonna die on the hill that rogue one was unnecessary.
Its a cool ass movie, but the “everything must have detailed in universe lore”-culture annoys me so much. Especially regarding a franchise that started as metaphoric of a story as star wars.
Like I don’t need in-universe guides to enjoy old kung fu hero movies with floaty wallruns and rooftop jumps. Its all metaphor and stylistic choice.
Why do I need midichlorians and shoehorned blueprint fudging? Plus the ending was so predictable, i was disappointed when realising they really didn’t come up with a better out than what i guessed before sitting down in the theater.
The older i get the more i wish for a non-capitalist community driven utopia. Fuck profit, i just want peace and a place to hang out
I loved it, even though we only had the horrendous dub over here lol
Always wanted to make the random paper mâché decorations but wouldn’t’ve hat a spot to put them
I see the joke in it now, but its a bit of a stretch of the definition imo :D
A little like the tolerance paradox. I can’t tolerate intolerance - this is necessary for tolerance to survive
Edit: butchered the sentence a bit
Can you explain what you mean by that?
Empathy
If you can’t see why other people’s suffering should concern you, i’m not gonna be able to relate to you on any level.
I used to riiiide across the deserts you know, I used to gliiiide on my speeder, pray that I dont fiiind… what i don’t wanna find
Kinda sounds like you might feel at home in the polyamory community.
Lots of people who aren’t “in it” don’t have that sort of energy
I have a hard time imagining telling my wife that “I’m not comfortable” with her doing something she wants to do unless it is something outright dangerous.
Its just a matter of boundaries and agreements really. Most mono couples have an implied set of rules rather than customising their relationship experience by doing the work to define boundaries together. Very much a societal thing i think.
Whether or not you were planning on swinging, that option is now in Wills head and he’s afraid Janet might participate.
In the end it’s just jealousy, but most people struggle with that emotion some times, no matter their relationship type.
Been playing a bunch of stuff lately! Still deeply in love with Caves of Qud, a modern (ish, 14y of development) rpg in the classic rogue format. A true rogue like. Beautiful music, cool setting…
I got a steam deck so couch-compatible games like Cobalt Core, Get to Work and Enter the Gungeon.
Besides that, the usual rounds of Tarkov, and some Delta Force to try it out post release
it had murder, sex and intrigue. probably more interesting than hearing about your uncles harvest again
