I played the heck out of the Renegade demo, it scratched a FPS RTS itch I didn’t know I had. I wonder if it holds up?

App/platform separation is crucial. Finding the same thing for Lemmy. The official Reddit app is hot garbage.
My mom threw a massive tantrum at my school when they suggested I might benefit from medication. To be fair, it was a bad school and their specific recommendations were dubious, but something was certainly “up”. My sibling learned they were diagnosed with ADHD in childhood about a year ago, and they’re in their forties now.
Mental health stigma is really damaging.
Is the experience at all spoiled by the game’s popularity? It’s a great game in its own right IMO
I’m playing World of Goo, a physics game from 2008 that I bought in a Humble Bundle forever ago.
I tried it again on a lark and it holds up, I got sucked in. Classic physics game. One level takes me less than 15 minutes to complete, but it varies significantly.
There are interesting conflicting pressures in the game: you want to build with as little as possible, because the building material are your little dudes you’re trying to get to safety. Gravity exists, and weight distribution matters: sometimes you must harness this fact to win.
Some levels are about building methodically, carefully choosing where to use the corpse of a sacrificed little dudes, because it is an immutable choice.
Other levels are about dynamics and timing, and you can get tantalizingly close to saving your entire team in these levels.
Its old, its cheap, it should run on most things1. Strong recommend.

I like this idea! There might be an increased danger of a battery explosion: it’ll be near bright sunlight, away from where people will see it, with an old battery. I wonder if there are battery diagnostics that could provide an early warning?
I’m sure most of us have a fistful of old phones somewhere, the idea of using them for something is appealing.
i’ve been too plugged-in to trump news. i’ve banned myself from my primary source of that unhappy chaos, and will get it from a news outlet instead which is much slower and less ragey
i’ve gotten into audiobooks again, and that has done a lot to lift my spirits. i’ve plowed through the lord of the rings and am now listening to the silmarillion. i’ve found the silmarillion difficult to read, but much more accessible as an audiobook - and it’s giving me a deeper appreciation of the lord of the rings
eucatastrophe, where art thou?
if i did two big social things in a week like that i would be pretty burnt out and possibly snippy with people. i’d need a bit of solo time to recharge before i could wear my social mask again
the statement by your friend here looks unkind without context
Same, workspaces are great!
It’s still Firefox, so it’s the same. I installed uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, no different there.
I’m trying https://zen-browser.app/ now. It’s an open source fork of Firefox. The UI is much changed: vertical tabs and workspaces. It was a bit of a shock, but it’s growing on me.
Librewolf has some trouble with some websites. For example, it won’t load one of my own that makes a GRPC request over TLS, stating that the certificate issuer is unknown despite it being the same certificate used on the accepted-as-secure page the request is made from.
At the present spot price, that’s worth about $100k, I think?
Based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_per_adult
It would put you at just a bit above the average wealth per adult for the entire world, but also just about at the median wealth for North America which has an average weath per adult of 500k. Averages are wonky when some people have SO MUCH.
$11 is wild for all that!
The New Order was enjoyable vengence porn against Nazis, it’s a good time; maybe I need that again!
I’ve been playing the heck out of Harebrained Schemes’ BattleTech; I haven’t binge-played like this in a long time. It never feels fair; 2-1 odds is typical, but it’s always possible. Pretty satisfying to overcome unfair situations. Makes me feel smart and capable! Plus, jumpy stompy robots!
I’m too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven’t elaborated on yet.
Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I’m absolutely going to get my money’s worth - this kind of game just doesn’t exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.
I just got this game and I’m having a blast, this is the style of game I’ve been hungry for for a long time.
500 internal errors in console, video doesn’t play
Office is weird about it because of their OneDrive product
My partner hates this mug with a passion. Maybe I should get one 😅
