That wasn’t my experience at all, but my guild was made up of grown ups with actual lives IRL. Sure we were pretty casual by most standards, but raiding was fun and toxicity was shut down instantly.
The process he eventually settled on started with Mechner using a video camera to record his brother running and jumping in a parking lot across from their high school. Once he found a take that worked, the video was played back on a TV in a dark room and the screen was photographed with a 35-millimeter film camera, frame by frame, creating roughly 35 photos of his brother in action. Mechner then traced over each photograph with a black marker and white correction fluid to create a high-contrast black and white silhouette of each pose, and then used a photocopier to assemble all of them onto a single sheet of paper that was scanned into an Apple II using a special capture card. With the poses all digitized, Mechner then painstakingly cut them all out, pixel by pixel, and used a special graphics tool to assemble them into frame animations.
It’s “funny” how this was a complete non-issue here in France, but when the American right made trans people their next target after their abortion win, it suddenly became a huge problem for the French right as well.
These people constantly complain about American cultural hegemony, but they still make an exception for Trump and this kind of shit. Out of all the cool things coming out of the US, this is what you tolerate? I’m so sick of these spiteful assholes…
Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
Everything he (and other like-minded politicians) says makes so much sense, and often seems obvious to me. It’s really depressing that a huge part of the people see him as a threat. We have the same problem in France, and in most countries I assume…
It’s an old P2P app focused on music, it’s been like 20 years since I last used it but at the time you could find pretty much anything no matter how obscure.
I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!...
It definitely is, but yeah you’ll die a lot at first. Once you know your squad’s (and the enemies’) abilities it becomes like chess, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of a single move.
If the United States and its allies can rush to Israel’s defense in the skies, shooting down dozens of drones and missiles fired by Iran, why can’t they do the same for Ukraine — which has suffered under Russia’s missile attacks for more than two years?...

I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite....
BoringSSL is not a drop-in replacement for openssl though:
BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google’s needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don’t recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Yeah we just had a huge protest here in France, except for a smaller union they all agreed that the pesky ecologists were to blame for their problems. And the government was more than willing to agree with them, better kill our remaining farming land for short term profit than reign in their buddies at Nestlé and Danone.

Do you know if blacklisting nouveau actually disables the dGPU? It’s a work laptop so the iGPU is more than enough so I figured I wouldn’t bother with bumblebee or whatnot, but the battery life is shit :'(

Yes ! It’s been like 20 years since I last used KDE, but I’ll install this once it’s available in the arch repo, and maybe make it my daily driver if all goes well. I like GNOME but I like tweaking my DE and I’m sick of extensions breaking every other release.
My 5yo started asking a lot of questions about war all of a sudden. The Ukraine war had just started so I figured a bunch of kids saw it on the news with their parents. Turns out these dumb fucks were watching Squid Games with them, so they started playing out executions during recess… Between that and the little boy who was lighting girls’ hair on fire because “girls should cover their head”, she didn’t stay too long in this school.
This doesn’t make sense. There have been public executions and torture all over the world for centuries, and yet murder and rape were much more frequent than now.
Just from this screenshot, it seems that good loot will drop more frequently if you choose to disable trading, to make up for the lost opportunities I guess.

I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won’t budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?
Path of Exile is a good example. F2P, quality game, shit ton of content, and not once did I feel tempted to buy cosmetics. I did buy additional stashes once, but that was a conscious choice to support the devs after playing for tens of hours.
I’m itching for a good single player arcade-y/soldier-y FPS. Anyone have a suggestion? Haven’t played CoD (nor BF for that matter) since the one with the No Russian level.
