It's one of those great ironies, because flight was a requested feature since the beginning and being locked into fixed flight paths left people wanting free flight even more. Back in 2006-7, I don't think most people, or even Blizzard, could predict how much it'd hurt the social aspect of the game.

Starfield? I would argue it's much worse than NMS, though I don't know how the current game is. Back when I played, a couple of months before the first dlc dropped (before the buggy update, even), you were extremely limited in choices for base building. You had like 4 or 5 prefabs of a living quarter which came pre decorated.

Starfield offers good ship customization (and stupidly talent-locks a lot of it), unlike NMS, which only added a tiny bit of that in an update last year I think

Sometimes you are high on hopium and copium, you're hoping that it gets better later on, or you just overlook some problems.

Sometimes you're already too used to the game, so it doesn't fully entertain, but it isn't "feeling" like a waste of time yet. This happens a lot with "endless" games like most MMOs and "game as a service"

If you don't mind, I can spoil the story for you:

NMS storyAs you try to help Artemis, you discover that they're just a simulation of a different reality. Some time after you discover that, you have a choice to either keep a version of that simulation working or shut it off. I dunno what the text says if you shut it off, but if you keep it, Artemis isn't happy because now they know they're living in a simulation that they cannot escape. Advancing a bit further, you find out that you are also living in a simulation and that the galaxy you're in is no different from Artemis'. Atlas is the source of the simulation, but it is faulty for unknown reasons.

Advance some more and you're then given a choice to reset the galaxy into something "different" - mechanically, it only affects where you restart and how likely you are to find certain types of planets.

Gotta love the "historic legal claim" argument, because whenever you try to apply it to native peoples in all of the Americas, these same mouthpieces will go "oh, but it's totally different!"

TIL About that Theatre of the Opressed. Not really surprised that, even today, the powerful in Brazil do their best to un-exist people that do anything that could even remotely threaten the status quo. I mean, I took theatre classes twice in my life (2004 and 2015) and Augusto Boal was never once mentioned, likely because none of the veterans and teachers even knew about him.

They're not "fighting NATO", they're fighting for their own imperialistic bullshit.

It affected everyone using the app, no matter the instance. For example, if me, a resident of programming.dev, tried to look for the mod_abuse or power_tripping communities of any instance, I would see no results. If you tried to connect as a user from any of the blacklisted instances, the app wouldn't even work

When you use tesseract to connect to one blacklisted such instance , you just get a message informing you that Tesseract is “incompatible with that instance” which leads one to think of a technical issue, like an API mismatch, rather than the dev being an opinionated coward. - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/72685299

Regarding the frontend, seems it also worked "behind the scenes" on the browser, which is stated in the post I linked in that quote. Unfortunately, the github links are all 404 now.

Undertale Yellow is a fangame and "prequel" to Undertale. If you liked the original game, chances are high that you'll like UY. It's free and you can get it on the link below

https://gamejolt.com/games/UndertaleYellow/136925

The game does a great job in keeping its universe believably canonical by sidestepping most characters from the original game. You interact with Toriel for a very brief moment in the starting 2 minutes, then you're out to explore another side of the underground. Only Flowey will follow you around and, if you've played the original game and understands how and why he did the things he did, everything he does in UY will make sense. The game doesn't spoil any of the revelations that happen in the OG and only mentions the important characters (Asgore, Toriel, etc) sparingly and without extrapolations, so it really does a good job of acting as a prequel that respects the canon and doesn't extrapolate.

The new characters really feel like they belong in the OG, with a neutral/pacifist run showing how silly, dorky and lovable they are, this is true even for the background NPCs and enemies you fight. Not every such NPC is lovable, some are kinda assholes, and that's a good contrast.

Perhaps most important, the soundtrack is fucking awesome (the Gamejolt link above also lists the soundtrack for listening. 77 - Meltdown, for one of the later areas, rocks). Some are references and/or homages to original tunes. Boss themes are super memorable and really fit the respective characters.

One thing that I loved is that every enemy has a "hurt" graphic, which shows once they're under 1/3 of health, which also lets you spare them. Seeing them hurt like that does make me feel kinda bad.

Oh, a genocide run won't be a cakewalk like the OG, you'll be up against a number of alternative bosses that will give your reflexes a workout (I've died on the first genocide-exclusive boss 8 times, and that's after a 0-death, up to the final boss, neutral run).

The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/

How long was it there? Some years, i think

I don't know if this is stance specific, but whenever I create a new post and start typing the title, it'll list some "posts that might be related", limited to the community if it's already selected.

The problem is that the posts are almost never related to anything I'm writing in the title or might even write in the body at all. For instance, I just posted a question on how to poison videos against AI, the "might be related" posts were about Donald Trump and Epstein, with another post being about WoW Mists of Pandaria.

It seems to look for the post body for all the words in the title first instead of looking for any similar title first

Ideally something that wouldn't leave viewers complaining about obvious artifacts or effects, but I'm willing to make some compromises

Back in 2020, Brazil launched the PIX system of instant money transfer between any and every bank within the country. Meta was already trying to implement Whatsapp Pay in Brazil around late May, but was being held back by regulation agencies, on purpose, in order for PIX to rollout first. PIX started working around November 2020, while Whatsapp Pay was allowed to resume work in March 2021, but it fell flat and was scrapped away some time later.

For context, some 98% of Brazilian phones have whatsapp and it is the 2nd largest market for the app, only behind India. Had Meta gotten its way, a huge number of Brazilians would've had their finances controlled by Meta.

The photo in the article shows the kind of webbing I used to think was made by spiders. The silk strands are usually around 90-100nm, or almost 100 times thinner than human hair

I recently found out that you can get up to 3 free .eu.cc domain from GNAME, which also claims that you can renew for free when its within 90 days of expiring. So I got one to check it out.

Obviously, the next step is making one of my local machines act as the target destination for any queries to the address, so it becomes accessible for the wider web. I'm not entirely sure, however, what to configure on GNAME (there's the option to setup A and AAAA records, which I suppose I should just point to my IP, but there's also CNAME, TXT, NS, SRV and what configurations/programs my local server (rPi 3) needs to have running besides a webserver (Apache2 or Nginx)

My intent is to have it run a single-user fediverse server, possibly friendica, as it seems to have the best support for seeing all sorts of APub posts. If that proves too heavy for my old pi, I'll try one of the lightweight APub alternatives

I know I'll also need to do some configurations on my router, so I'd appreciate help on this, too.

It's something that I often wondered. Acetone, even diluted as nail polish remover, does a great job of cleaning prints and, unlike IPA, doesn't leave the piece with an awful smell.

Is it mainly price, or are there other reasons?

Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?
