i mean yeah. for them it was just that they made a big deal of refusing to even talk to SD as little as four years ago, but that all changed when they dropped in the ratings.
on the flip side, “weird” things have been coming from SD the more mainstream they’ve become. following internal pressure from their gay and minority members (i know right?) their policies on things like gender issues have moved leftward, at least on paper. of course, the purpose of the system is what it does, so i don’t trust them to actually do anything of that, but it seems that some people in there actually care about the politics.
compared to most of Europe’s right, they have historically been pretty moderate. but then last election cycle they opened the door to collaborating with the far right because they would have lost otherwise…
how long have you got?
tr;dr: we sowed 30 years ago, and we are currently reaping.
i don’t think any manufacturer publishes the voltage their devices run at, could be anywhere from 3.3 to 5V. so i don’t know how an end-user is supposed to compare battery sizes between devices.
you would be a bit peeved as well if one guy in a lecture hall with 150 people constantly asked you to convert every measurement in your talk to something only that guy understands.
well in my language they’re “runners” so i guess i should have thought a bit harder there…
jesters? they’re bishops…
i think the mod loader is for a console release.
yeah, Uniper is a major stakeholder in the Oskarshamn and Forsmark power plants, and it was absorbed into the German state in 2022.
mfer nationalised the comments section just like they did the swedish nuclear power plants
no, the frog explicitly dies having not noticed.
not only that imo, with this extra layer it serves to illustrate how the complacency is not innate. everybody has a breaking point, but we have been told that we will just take it if it is gradual enough.
i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we’ve so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.
we used to hold pong tournaments at uni, using a circuit-accurate simulator of the original hardware and home-made replica paddles. really got the crowds going.
never heard that before. one can easily train their own model on just a single celeb’s face (since there are usually so many pictures of a given celeb) and use that on their own machine.
i think that’s sort of the whole point. i mean the dev is called Neognosis. though i can definitely see how that could be unsettling if you’re intimately familiar with the franchise, which i am not.
i had the pc version of 2097 as a child and i could never get the hang of it. too technical for a 9-year-old i guess. so i never really had any nostalgia for the specifics, i just saw Ballistic on sale and thought “hey that looks like wipeout, I wonder if they still have that weird floaty feel”. it does feel like i remember, and after spending some time with it i really enjoy it even though i’m still no good 25 years later.
also they did add go-karts so it’s not entirely plagiarized ;)
i bought this expecting a story-heavy atmospheric lonely driving experience with weird world building tense moments, like the vibe of the ship repair stuff in outer wilds.
i got a survival-crafting horror roguelike. you do comparatively little driving, the main game consists of scavenging for loot and using it to build replacement parts for your crumbling vehicle.
i hope this gets me back in. last time i thought the “repair vehicle after a successful run” setting would help me, but that also completely removes the quirks system, where the car picks up weird behaviors with time. it just deletes that gameplay element. that made me feel like i was cheating, which wasn’t fun.
