Have some empathy. These aren't oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

Good. They should cry.

I recommend looking at the summary on Wikipedia. See the "Response" and "Publication History" sections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99#Publication_history

Similar research has been falsified, the third author of this paper left the university months ago, some authors filed patents on the material years in advance, and the underlying mechanisms haven't been thoroughly explained.

However, they presented it in a way that is EXTREMELY straightforward to reproduce. There's even a live stream on Twitch of someone working on it: https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip So I doubt they'd make a claim that large when it's so easy to disprove, and we'll know for sure in a matter of days, most likely.

The cruelty is the point of those laws. That poor girl...

Rogue Legacy! You are a knight invading an evil wizard's castle. When you die, your children take up your mantle and try again.

Dying means you get to try again with a descendant that has different quirks, like "being left-handed" or "dwarfism"

Set one mouse to left handed and another to right handed.

Accessibility. People who can't grab or use an XBOX controller with their hands need to use custom controllers, including things like foot pedals.

"Have you heard of the critically-acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 Online? It's got a trial that's free to play all the way up to level 60, and includes all of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion. Join Eorzea today!"

FF14 has PS4/PS5/PC crossplay, worth trying out imo. (Note that the base game story before Heavensward is p slow, and you have to upgrade to a paid subscription to invite friends to parties)

back to piracy I guess

I sympathize with the large flaws in Lemmy that cause huge problems for moderators. I'd personally prefer to stay with it and continue to push the devs / community for upstream bugfixes (through PRs, open issues, or bug bounties), but I do understand if that becomes unmaintainable.

If the user experience on a new platform is similar I'd likely stay; if it does change significantly, I most likely would switch to actively use a different Lemmy instance.

Immediately after, every single ISP in my area introduced "data caps". If I use more than 1TB of total data in a month, they charge exorbitant fees. Fortunately, you can pay to remove these caps! ...for nearly twice the monthly price.

Ham sandamoni and cheesewich

Macaroni and cheese, plus shredded ham, plus mustard

It tastes incredible, but nobody else EVER wants to try it. Their loss!

In my country, strikes are almost universally smeared as the worst evil anyone could possibly do. I would LOVE for a political leader to reinforce the validity of striking like this.

"unciv" is a good FOSS Civ V clone! The gameplay is addicting and it runs on anything

I spend all day at work with a keyboard and mouse, so I try to use a controller for absolutely everything else

Would you recommend any in particular? :)

What would you describe as the main difference?

I've been a fan of "Working Code" so far, no off-color beats yet

https://workingcode.dev/

Sorry, wherever I saved this from had already cropped out the artist signature :(

it's a kind of game that features character collection via random drops from lootboxes and events

Definitely No Man's Sky

It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

I would use some kind of CAD software to design a backplate, making sure to add things like physical supports with screwholes that match your motherboard's mount points and vents at the right spots. You can get things like that 3-D printed, would be an inexpensive way to prototype it :)

this sounds awesome, thanks!

is this the right link?

EDIT: think i found the discord https://discord.com/invite/BSYusKW7Ps

I feel the same!

Going Under is so much fun!

What a great idea! I should try that

Y U M

This is so important. Knowing someone has your back is critical to young people feeling safe while practicing standing up for themselves!

I feel the same!! It's been almost ten years since I played it and it STILL sticks with me.

It's improved a lot :)

You do run the risk of a driver issue giving you trouble, especially for brand new cards, but the kernel is so well-populated now that it's unlikely to be anything other than plug-and-play 🎉

I bought a ~1pt sippy cup that you can't spill, like the kind designed for children. It's made such a difference for drinking alcohol and for parties, where I tend to slosh or spill my drink!

Plus now my cats can't dip their paws in when I pour water and ruin the drink

Wii (which naturally includes Gamecube) Switch (with its N64, SNES, and NES emulation) XBox 360 Steam Deck (Steam and all other Pc games, including emulators)

Oregano?

Through Lutris, really good

This is cool! Would you share the link? For me, clicking just leads to the image

I believe this is a Lara Croft reference

I've never been able to get it to launch on Linux (Ubuntu 23, 16 GB, AMD Ryzen)

Oooo, thanks for the suggestion!
