I genuinely think these games would not have the rep for difficulty if dodge was on button-down instead of up. That slight lack of responsiveness kills your a lot until you train yourself to compensate for it by pre-empting attacks (which means you have to learn the full moveset of the boss).
Note: “relay” is the nostr term while “instance” is the AP/Mastodon/Lemmy term. They are functionally very similar and offer the same abilities to ban annoying users from “public square” type spaces. Moderation works identically....
While I can see the value in speech that doesn’t exist at the whim of our corporate overlords, these are people who’d get beaten up if they tried to speak the way they do online in front of real people.
One of the hallmarks of fascism is that the enemy are simultaneously too strong - so we must militarise - and too weak, because we are the superior race and destined to prevail.
More genius naming. Black edition called “galaxy black”, because galaxies are famously very black. “Digital” editions don’t have a disc drive, so you can’t put optical discs containing digital data into them - but optical discs are still “special” at least, because Microsoft can’t remotely delete your library if it’s on read-only discs.

What ever happened with that Demis Hassabis game called Republic where they claimed that everything was simulated down to the level of individual leaves on trees? I totally missed that coming out in the end after all the ridiculous hype.

So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.
"Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.
...
"The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.
"Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.
"The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."
The thing is that most countries have a monopolies and mergers commission to make sure that anti-competitive sales are not happening, and the other thing is that politicians are humans who need a swimming pool so their daughter can practice swimming for the school team.
