It was kickstarted a decade ago with release dates which they’ve never kept thanks to a constant modification of what a release looks like - namely splitting the MMO-like Star Citizen out from the single-player blockbuster Squadron 42 - as well as scope bloat. A lot of people originally kickstarted the game (mostly for what we now call Squadron 42 + some multiplayer thing) but now a decade on, the MMO-like Star Citizen is seemingly the priority project and most of the people who are currently funding the game are primarily interested in that.

After hundreds of millions of dollars of funding, it seems clear that Squadron 42 in particular is in development hell as it still can’t seem to make it to market. Star Citizen, while playable, teeters back and forth from basically unplayable to playable and all “progress” is subject to wipes.

Those EXT4-fs write access unavailable errors look spooky. Should probably do some standard Linux FS testing (fsck)

I’ve not had to recover anything from a raspberry pi SD card, but in the case you start from scratch - and considering it’s upset at write access - you may be able to plug it into another machine and at least salvage bits of its configuration that way.

Another MAGA shooter or just Florida Man?

Destroying filthy xenos in Space Marine II with my battle-brother in online campaign co-op.

What a treat. Also Pokémon Platinum.

I have yet to purchase these devices but Malyshenko seems to really care about giving modern audio output to ESP devices and seems very well documented. I’ll probably be picking one or two up in the near future.

I mean, look how fast the ENTIRE industry shifted to battle passes (and still gacha) and away from “loot boxes” the very moment the first country said they’d consider regulation.

There may be more people watching Deadlock than there are watching and playing Concord today based on available data and reasonable extrapolation. Valve continues to market in a unique way that works.

Valve isn’t really angry as far as I can tell, or have heard. They’re about as angry as any other person which goes and posts this stuff online: revoking access. If Valve wanted to expand their testing userbase without people leaking it online, they would have sought NDAs and other legally-binding agreements with testers and - by extension - journalists who can test the game.

In trying to find privacy-oriented map software, I found OsmAnd as well as OrganicMaps and shortly thereafter began contributing to openstreetmap. It’s actually quite easy and IMO fun to find discrepancies and use your knowledge to help an open data set.

Not only have I seen my edits show up in proprietary softwares, but the area around me is more accurate, to the point where recent construction to the road network was updated on OSM and Apple Maps, but not Google maps.

I just checked and Google maps is still out of date.

The article is even more wack than the price for the domain. They want to launch a $99 necklace that listens to everything you say while it “forms its own thoughts” about it. Then instead of talking to you, it just texts you when IT “wants” (read: on a timer or based on a system prompt)

The monetization is a one-time $99, no subscription. That’s … suspicious from a privacy perspective.

Ace Combat (PS2): Primarily Ace Combat 4, I’d say as it’s shorter but still great. If you like the gameplay then you’ll need to play 5 and Zero.

Definitely fake. Batch identifier plus a lot of things (label quality, top notch) being a bit off, and the stamp code not being CPUENXXXX. https://www.gameverifying.com/wiki/cart-based-systems/nds

I use mealie, but an older version which still has its recipes public. Still waiting for that to be an option on newer versions.

One of the main reasons why I use Discord nowadays aside from the fact that my gaming community is there is for its extremely low latency video streaming.

I tried to use other meet softwares but the latency was 10+ seconds. Not useful when I need immediate feedback. Discord offers the quickest and most reliable way for me to get someone else looking at my stream in real-time.

I’ll be looking for alternatives because they’re, of course, not doing anything impossible for others to replicate, they just made it the default.

Is “Barbenheimer” bad?

No, humor is a sort of natural response to horror, and the creation of Barbenheimer is entirely on the studio which decided to release the same day as Oppenheimer. That everyone latched on is unsurprising.

That said, is the point of the article - Americans are still sorely undereducated on the effects of the bomb on the Japanese people - still true?

I think this is objectively true. As someone who has been to the Hiroshima Peace Museum and had a deeply moving, emotional, and enlightening experience, of course we don’t teach it or really ever experience the effects of the bombing to that extent.

I’ve long held the view that seeing the effects of war, in general, is the only way to help create a world where war is less common. I think true human empathy, even for former or potential enemies, can come from imagery.

I was sort of disappointed Oppenheimer did not include the imagery of the effects of the bomb, but it’s a film - about a man - not a documentary or educational piece.

I just use Firefox until it definitely doesn’t work, then I use a chromium browser because of course I can’t not have access to a crucial website for my life.
