I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism.
I think Sim Ant technically meets these conditions.
This has been a problem on Amazon for ages. Unless you can confirm the seller on the Amazon listing is authentic, you should never buy any storage devices on Amazon, ever.
For me, I was enamored with the simplicity of it. You click Start and the Start menu just appears, without having to spend 10 seconds connecting to the internet to refresh a bunch of tiles that I never wanted in the first place. There wasn’t any half-baked “assistant” trying to suggest new spyware for me to install. It didn’t try making me sign into a Microsoft account just to open the photo gallery. The only “bloatware” it came preinstalled with was Outlook Express. The whole experience just made the computer feel like a tool to use for a purpose again.
It’s funny, because I remember thinking when Vista and subsequent versions of Windows came out, that it was amazing we ever survived with something as primitive as XP. But these days, all I want is to go back to that.
I actually briefly used an XP machine a few months ago, for the first time in many years. It was weird, it felt like I was revisiting an old childhood home or something. Everything was right where I remembered it, everything worked the way I expected it to.
I kinda want to go back. We never realized how good we had it.
Weird, because wearing black improved my mental health as a kid. I felt more confident in my appearance in darker clothing.
Even IF all black clothing was associated with one’s mental health, why the fuck is your solution to ban it, instead of, I dunno, addressing what you seem to feel is a mental health concern?
Sick of these ass-backwards hicks running this shithole state.
[click click, click click click click] Hmm, why’s it not… Honey, did we pay the mouse bill this month?
Sounds about right. It’s an absolute shame that such a beautiful place can be so inhospitable.
I mean… A hurricane hit, and it damaged power equipment along several major cities. Some parts of Houston saw flooding, and a lot of roads are still inaccessible right now which further delays repair efforts. Not sure what else you’d expect to happen.
This isn’t like the previous failures of Texas’s busted-ass power grid in recent years; those previous outages weren’t from weather damage, but from being unable to keep up with demand due to our government’s stubborn refusal to make use of the national grids. Those outages could’ve been largely mitigated if not for bureaucratic bullshit, but there’s little you can do to prevent a hurricane from doing hurricane things. The article goes into pretty great length to detail the damage the hurricane left behind, yet doesn’t seem to link the cause to the effect.
I’ll happily shit on our medieval government 7 days a week, but this feels like a stretch.
Teens sentenced in Spain were between the ages of 13 and 15. According to the Guardian, Spanish law prevented sentencing of minors under 14, but the youth court “can force them to take part in rehabilitation courses.”
Some of them are too young to receive real sentencing. It’s important to remember that they’re children, too.
A lot of it is going to be game-specific, and spending time tweaking the control settings until you find what feels responsive to you.
The rest of it is going to be technique, and a lot of trial and error to find out what works best for your play style. For instance, I can’t do fast-paced, twitchy movements on a controller (even things that are technically possible to do on a controller; I just don’t have the dexterity anymore), so I have to adopt a different play style when using a controller. I usually will go for a more support-based role, if possible; opting for long-range weapons/abilities, and playing a more patient, campy game. I play slower and more methodically this way, and try to position myself so that I don’t ever get into the situations where I need to react to somebody closing the gap on me in the first place.
For me, it’s an entire mindset shift. If I play the same game on M/K, I’ll be playing with a much faster, reaction-centric style instead of one where my movements are more premeditated.
Some other tips will be learning to do things like using your left stick for fine-tuning your aim (you can get very precise horizontal micro-adjustments by leveraging your player’s position, which can be useful for getting your shot off before the other guy does), experimenting with gyro controls if that’s an option for you, or trying joystick extenders (small gadgets that clip onto your sticks to extend their effective length, which may make aiming easier).
As far as what to practice in, I don’t know of any aim trainers that are designed for controller, so I’d say you should just practice with a game that you either don’t care about or where it doesn’t matter if you lose a bunch. I’d recommend The Finals; it’s free to play, the default quickplay mode is active and puts you into a match quickly, and it’s super low-stakes so you don’t have to feel bad about experimenting during a live match. Your teammates don’t have loot drops or anything hinging on your success, so if you play badly, nobody cares. And it’s got pretty robust customization options for the controller settings (dead zones, acceleration curves, etc), which can help you figure out what settings you respond best to and what to look out for in the settings of other games. It has a huge variety in movement/weapon options, so you’ll end up developing skills/habits that will transfer over to other games quite easily.
I didn’t mean to weirdly steer this into becoming an ad for The Finals. But it’s a very controller-friendly FPS that I think will be beneficial to practice with. I think it’s also pretty fun, but that’s subjective.
The comment you replied to says literally the opposite of the thing you claim it says. There will be more precipitation, not less.
He’s out of line, but he’s right.
Harder to monetize on Peertube.
I’m not well-versed in Iran’s politics, but is there actually any hope that his replacement will be any better for the Iranian people? I’d have to imagine that whoever is next in line would already be very much aligned with his existing policies.
Ah, I thought you were referring to the reporting of the article instead of her testimony, my bad.
That’s because the victims are children, and there are limitations to what you can publish about children in cases like this.
“Humanitarian tragedy”
Just say “genocide”, cowards.
Pretty sure that’s a selection bias, since most fish that are eaten - or would otherwise be examined for parasites - are farm-raised fish.
SO HERE I AM
