There’s been a multiyear crusade to oust .ml from the Fediverse with demands that the developers relinquish their instance servers to a third party and/or stop developing Lemmy altogether. That’s not an irrelevant context here given it is usually the same routine players.
Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?
A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.
Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.
I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)
Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’
I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.
Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.
Protip: in small talk/office chitchat C is often functionally D.
The SPD used people like Erich Ludendorff to eliminate Communists. The SPD directly inherited the government from the Prussian King, maintained the interests of the German Empire, and killed Communist political leaders prior to the first election of the Weimar Republic.
The SPD government was the power structure that directly empowered, then acquiesced to multiple coup attempts by the monarchist anti-democratic right wing.
Now, the Russian Social Democrat Party, on the other hand, won their war. So it’s not necessarily the ‘Social Democrat’ part so much as the ‘Maintaining Imperial Power Structures’ part that the German SPD is faulted for.
The KPD also went on to try and do coalition with the Nazi right wing too, with likewise predictably terrible results.
There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.
Great Fairy had two extra years of, uh, bump mapping.
If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.
Super Metroid is the first game I really explored breaking the mechanics and routing of progress. Perfectly timed bomb jumps, wall jumps, etc to access areas early and such. I always found that to be neat.
More recently though, Super Metroid was one of the first randomizers and an early popular speedrunning game.
I think that’d why it’s maintained a level of popularity not easily seen from the game itself.
Fallout Tactics remains my favorite Fallout.
There’s a hilariously drawn out postgame/endgame challenge dungeon type thing that’s like 100+ straight battles.
But the main game is solidly worth the full price, quite honestly. Any sale you find is just helping your budget.
Very plausibly what started as a FBI monitoring tool which no longer has any staff with knowledge of the program anymore.
Why can’t your workers be your workers, your family be your family, your friends be your friends?
Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.
Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.
I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.
They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.
A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.
Like, just remove votes entirely at that point.
A number of communities and instances disable downvoting which helps moderate the behavior altogether. Either people agree and upvote to promote, or they GTFO and/or feel ignored.
Well that was the church, not the conquistadors or the spanish crown and emperor. I believe the history went along the lines of some clergy felt the conquistadors were being a little too barbaric and unchristian, so they convinced the Spanish to debate it a few decades later and eventually convinced them to take a break for a few years.
See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.
