Oh boy! The game we should have had at launch? I can't wait to get in my space ship, take off from a planet, fly to a new one, and land without being forced to fast travel.

I'm a practicing prosthetist in the US. Myoelectric hands are nothing really that new and even getting control over the hand by surgically dropping an emg directly into the muscle groups (though their diagram implies they did something different) isn't terribly groundbreaking. The FDA had that technology in animal testing right around the start of the pandemic, from what I remember talking to an engineer working on a project.

For me, the exciting part is the osseointegration through the forearm. Osseointegration has been going on since like the 90s, but for a long time it was only through the femur. The first reason is really that the West has way more lower limb than upper limb amputations which is a different story. The second reason is that the femur is a big bone with a lot of interior space for an implant to anchor.

Recently I've been seeing transtibial osseointegration surgeries being performed, which has been a pretty big deal. This is the first I've seen of it being done to a transradial.

I will definitely be reading more about this at work tomorrow.

I have seen a video of a shooting instructor who brought over a Japanese kid who did all his drills with airsoft and had never shot a real gun before. I'll go look for it and edit in the link if I find it.

Edit: Someone Else found it in a reply

Oh? And where do you experience communism?

They're probably just wrapping a custom psx image in an emulator. Which makes sense if you've ever tried to run the official PC port from 2000. To say it's a broken mess doesn't quite cut it. Instead, I'll say the speed run is half the time of the psx record.

Always sad to see a big name go like this. I wonder if this will have any long-term ramifications for the future of Commander. Sheldon was always firm that Commander stay just a little outside the hand of Wizards.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I'll forget I'm a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

There's nothing about their description that really seems to link into Baldur's Gate at all. Unless they're saying that if you love Baldur's Gate 3, you'll love DnD. That's not groundbreaking information.

It looks interesting, but I don't like that they're saying it's going to be a new game. I don't want to spend another $40 on what amounts to a new game mode. Fundamentally different new game mode, but new game mode.

I love this series of you touring different ports!

I liken it to having a "home." I can go out and read whatever bigger community in whatever instance, but I can also stay home at Blåhaj if I don't have the emotional energy to handle raw uncut internet stranger today. Reddit, even in smaller communities, always had a risk of a wandering bigot.

Combined with that, I'm in the "same" communities on my local instance as I am on instances with a bigger community for the same thing. Reddit doesn't have a "home" like instances naturally have.
