The amount of times I’ve seen the headline “Putin tells [/Insert_Country] that [/Insert_UkraineAid] would be a ‘big mistake’”…

I still technically am an insider of Behind Good and Evil 2, but I haven’t heard a single bloody thing for YEARS. 10 by now, I think.

This is the first time I’ve heard anything about the franchise and it’s not even from an insider email… Or even remotely related to the prequel that was supposedly well into its development.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

When I was invited to be part of the insider program there was a special insider forum and I was given two surveys to do. This was all within the first few months of the invites going out.

Ever since then it’s been dead silent.

Hmm… One other post said it was rather lacklustre.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, XP Pen offers native Linux drivers, and the guys from Open Tablet Driver have also made their driver work with older XP Pen models, so it’s a pretty great wired tablet for Linux users.

But… Uh… Yeah… I’m looking for a standalone, because travelling with my XP Pen 13 and needing to play dongle-fu with Steam Deck is very awkward.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Good list if I were looking for just any tablet, but I’m specifically looking one with artist capabilities, such as a pressure sensitive surface and a battery free pen. This list doesn’t mention much about such capabilities.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Ooh, that one is quite expensive.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Huh… Yeah, you know what? I never thought of looking at second hand Surface tablets…

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Hmmm… The PineTab looks incredibly experimental still. It’s a option, but I’ll wait and see how the development of this one is going.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure my XP Pen’s refresh rate isn’t 165hz, and I find it perfectly fine to work on, so I don’t need something with such a high refresh rate.

At about 13 inches the resolution of the screen doesn’t need to be more than 1080p either.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I mean something standalone, not something that needs to be plugged into a computer. I already have an XP Pen Artist 13.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, agreed. XP Pen is great value for money. I had a second hand Wacom before and it wasn’t particularly better in any way.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm, for drawing when travelling I wouldn’t be streaming or hanging out on discord, so being constantly connected to the Internet would not be a priority, just that it’s good for drawing without a mess of dongles and cables.

Not being able to upload a WIP or a completed commission to a customer might be annoying, though…

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Took a glance at it, not bad price range. I’ll be looking more into it. Thank you. ^^

The first two thirds of The Final Frontier is actually a really fun movie… It’s just the final third of the movie that makes it… Well… Lame. It’s just lame.

From the making of videos (I used to own a 2 CD DVD box set), and it seems they ran out of budget and ran out of ideas eventually.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Ah… I see some of them must’ve made it to the writing room on NuTrek… Because it’s pretty much nothing more than a VFX showcase these days.

I miss the time when an entire episode was essentially the crew figuring out a moral dillema, or just some really weird space bullshit.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Right now it’s the modern entitled version of woke. Not the philosophical exploratory woke.

Modern Trek tells you off for thinking differently while old Trek set an example to aspire to.

And that’s only in the few limited moments NuTrek a actually bothers spending time on making an opinion, as most of it is cheaply written shlock to squeeze as much as possible out of underpaid VFX artists.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

It was 100% philosophy, and leading by example, exactly as I said. It spent the entire episode showing the hypocrisy of the two characters and showed the crew of The Enterprise to be better than their millenia old squabble.

It wasn’t 30 seconds of emotional finger pointing in between cheap action sci-fi.

I’ve been paying perfect attention to Star Trek. But it seems like loads of people have simply forgotten how Star Trek got their point across.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but Age of Empires II DE, Age of Empires III DE, and Age of Empires IV have all been great, and are still doing great. Out of all the recent Age of Empires stuff, only the very first Definitive Edition didn’t do well, but ended up becoming a DLC expansion to AoE II DE.

Basically, there is no reason to believe Age of Mythologies will be a bad remake based on just the one game that didn’t do well out of a bunch that did do well.

You telling me you don’t love LEGO?

That’s… That’s starting to sound a lot like heresy.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

LEGO’s plastic is very good quality, can last for literal generations, and isn’t meant to be thrown out after a single use.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Warhammer LEGO!? That would be awesome!

(And also potentially bring back some of those sought after Bionicle pieces). It would go against LEGO’s “no guns” policy, but they’ve broken that policy so often and in so many ways by now it’s more of a vague suggestion.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

That feeling when the 3DS is considered retro… And you still remember the NDSL being shiny hot new stuff.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Difference with every Star Trek that came before and what we have now:

Every first season of Star Trek after TOS was pretty bad. When you have just the first season of a Trek series to go off on then the reaction to something mediocre is pretty normal.

Season 1 TNG had… problems.

Season 1 DS9 is boring as fuck.

But these series got better and earned the respect of the fans with later seasons.

NuTrek has had 17 or so seasons across 5 series and it’s STILL trash! The current executives have chosen quantity over quality and don’t give a damn about improving anything.

Playstation controllers got it right, or at least, their kind of configuration. Doesn’t have to specifically be a controller from PlayStation.

Anything with offset analogue sticks is cancerous to use.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

No, he’s right. You sound like you’re writing a corporate ad.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

How about heavily carbon taxing the rich cunts, hmm?

You know, instead of another bullshit scheme to offset the responsibility of climate change to the majority of the population with the least control over it?

Tattorack,

Enjoying a stable OS?

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Cutting edge versions aren’t stable either. You’re essentially a beta tester for new features that may end up in an LTS release.

I’d rather have an LTS release where things have generally been tested well enough to warrant an LTS release.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I could care less.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

True, but look at it like this:

I already care very little, and but the possibility of caring even less is there.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

On the basis that it’s Star Trek. But I like I said, I could care less than I already do.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. Kind of.

Some people have already given their take, so I’ll add to it:

The game has a couple of hours of actual, fun content. After those couple of hours you’ll start to notice that everything is the same. Oh sure, the creatures and plants are made of different parts, but that’s as far as the differences go. Every planet has the exact same pattern, every system has a space station with the exact same functions, so eventually it really feels like exploration doesn’t matter. Which kinda sucks for a game that’s supposed to be about exploration.

I’ve always said that exploration would’ve been far more impactful if the universe of No Man’s Sky had just a bit more realism in it. This would mean most planets would be frozen iceballs or low atmosphere dustballs with no life on them. This would make discovering a planet with life on it quite momentous. It would also eliminate the problem of quickly finding out all life on every planet is exactly the same.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I have yet to find any mods that improve the game in the way I’d like… Or that will even work with the latest version of the game.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I use this to hide visual novels, otherwise one would drown in them.

Unfortunately it only works for excluding just one tag, and there are people in the forums, going as far back as 8 bloody years, begging for there to be a proper tag exclusion system.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t that meant ironically, though? I saw the clip that quote comes from and it really didn’t look like the guy was saying it with a straight face.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure none of them were convicted for overthrowing governments (yet). So your example is hyperbole.

I do not want to see any of them get any sort of power, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let myself get riled up over what some dude merely said.

Considering how riled up everyone seems to getting over what was said, I inclined to believe it was said specifically to get a rise out of their opposition.

In other words; you’re being trolled, and they’re having a laugh.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

No, the Borg had already been probing the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire before that encounter.

Along the Neutral Zone various Federation and Romulan colonies disappeared, whole cities just scooped right up.

Q’s interference may have caused the Borg to attempt assimilating Earth much earlier than intended, but the Borg were already on their way and they had no idea.

Due to Q’s interference, however, the Federation was made aware of the Borg well before a Cube came on their doorstep.

The original games are about 4 GB each. Together they should be around 8 GB.

What the fuck is the rest of the size used for!?

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

We know so little about the actual process of gender dysphoria. Hormone blockers don’t solve or fix anything, but have been used simply because it’s the only thing that does something. Essentially bringing a blunt instrument to the problem.

Considering the harmful nature of hormone blockers, I’m for not prescribing puberty blockers to youth. However, only so long as more research is put into it.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

The person who makes the claim is responsible for backing it up. So yes, if you’re going to make a going you’re going to do all the research.

Asking for the relevant scientific backing is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I take it you have a source you can link to?

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I know about RTPM, but what I meant was more akin to streaming the file itself.

Take for example, me and my friends want to watch a movie. One of us has the movie. We all have VLC. The one with the movie loads the file, the others… Somehow… Connect to the VLC with the loaded file and have it directly stream to their own VLC.
