Honestly that’s fair. Dude’s getting old, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect him to voice Mario forever. I’m glad they’ve got him as an ambassador though, for now at least. I’d imagine he’ll help whoever next voices Mario get it right so his voice isn’t too radically different.

Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.
Minetest is great. Love the FOSS nature of it as well. I don’t think it’ll ever see really mainstream adoption, due to the (intentional) lack of content without mods, but Minecraft itself could absolutely learn a thing or two from its cubic chunks system and tightly integrated modding system.
This game looks absolutely incredible. I’m not going to pre-order under any circumstances (been there, done that with these guys, lmao) but I firmly believe HG are capable of sticking the landing if they try, and if it’s all it’s cracked up to be at launch I’ll be playing the shit out of it.
I’ve got a folder called “apps with a white background” for shits and giggles. Still adhere to it to this day
Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.
Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.
Spent like 80 hours in the last two weeks playing Space Exploration. Send help
That’s horrific. If this doesn’t constitute genocide I don’t know what does. I hope Putin dies a very slow and painful death.
It’s Deep Rock Galactic, which is actually a really solid game. People just keep turning it into “Deep Cock Galactic” lmao
Professional software developer here. It’s definitely a career. I do agree it’s like art, it requires you to fit stuff together like a puzzle to get it to work. But I don’t think that makes it less of a “serious” career - there’s a lot of money in the field and as the world gets more and more invested in computing it’s become a very in-demand skill.
Man, this really sucks. Great example of how the over-consolidation of the industry into mega corporations is bad for gaming in general.
Heart goes out to all the devs that’ll be laid off by this.
Just because Hamas support Palestine doesn’t mean that supporting Palestine makes you support Hamas. That’s like saying that because I like art and Hitler liked art that means I support Hitler (which I very much fucking don’t). It doesn’t make any sense logically.
I think the confusion here stems from the fact that with historical slavery like the transatlantic slave trade, both slaves and slave owners are long dead. So the only parts of that slavery that still affect living people are the longer-lasting cultural effects, such as racial inequality.
Personally, I think we should probably be addressing those cultural effects, and that seems to generally be what these “reparations” are about? But I do agree that modern slavery is something that really needs to be addressed as well, and living slaves absolutely deserve reparations from their slavers.
I love funny pho restaurant names. There’s one near my office called Pho Khang. Their food’s pretty good too which is just the cherry on top.
Not sure I trust ISPs with this technology. I would say I’d rather just stop using the internet but seeing as I’m a software engineer that’s absolutely not possible :/
Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.
I feel ya. I've got the same thing. Luckily I'm still young and don't have kids so I can at least adjust my schedule consistently, but man it sucks having to get up at 6 am on the weekends. The real frustrating bit is that I could totally get up 2 hours later if only I could WFH consistently. But corporate doesn't like remote work so I have to go into the office at least 2 days a week to sit at a computer all day and program. Wonderful world we live in
American here. Yeah, chips/crisps are sold in restaurants. They’re usually bagged too lmao. Like the restaurant just got them from the supermarket.
It’s a reference to the game Baba is You, which allows you to manipulate the rules of the game by moving blocks around to form sentences like “Wall is win” or “Tree is you.” In the picture, someone tries to make a move switching “Baba is You” to “Baba is Win.” This makes touching Baba (the usual player character) the win condition, but it also means you’re no longer controlling Baba so there’s no way to actually move your character to the win condition. I hope that makes sense, if it doesn’t you can look up some gameplay on YT or something. It’s kinda tricky to explain in words.
Is the dude on the left the same guy from “A dubious little creature getting up to mischief, this is no good”? Kinda looks like it to me.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought this lmao
Wrote a paper on this for a network theory class back in college and came to pretty much the same conclusion. Pages tend to lead to “funnels” of similar general topics, such as Earth, science, etc. and they all make their way upward into philosophy, which is the study of thinking, since thinking is at its core how we perceive the world.
Interestingly there’s two distances from philosophy that pages tend to hover around, the closer one of which is more full of technology and science stuff while the farther one is mostly places. It’s a pretty interesting deep dive
It was probably like Tame Impala or something lmao
Yeah. There’s not many fancy restaurants that have that. But, like, most delis and bakeries you go to will usually have chips like that.
I picked Driller initially and stuck with it. Progression felt good. Once I got a promotion I tried out other classes, and slowly made them to promotion level. I think the main thing you’re missing though is that DRG isn’t really meant to be a game based around progression. Unlocking new weapons and overclocks helps, sure, but most of DRG’s progression to me is learning how to manage your resources effectively and mastering how to take down different kinds of bugs. Also, make sure you’re doing assignments! Otherwise, you’re not actually progressing beyond leveling up, and so progress will feel glacial.
Using Mlem myself and with the recent update it’s much more stable and definitely more responsive than the web app. Really scratches that Apollo-shaped itch.
A little schadenfreude is fine in this case, Spez can go fuck himself
One of like three for me. Ghost Ship Games and Re-Logic also have my trust.
Bay 12 Games as well, though I doubt they’ll be putting anything up for preorder for another 30 years or so, lol.
Besides that, I can’t think of any other studios. Been burnt too many times before.
I’ll definitely miss r/worldbuilding. Lots of people making cool stuff on there.
Dropping high explosives on civilians. (Helldivers 2)
I browsed All a couple weeks ago and quickly stumbled upon a naked woman so I think we’re in business here lol
There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.
