  • Never been a fan of CCGs as their business models are exploitative and inevitably lead to power creep.

    Netrunner and Compile have me sorted for card games for a while.

  • Don't forget the arse-linking, couch fucking lackey.

  • Turns out there are stupid questions after all.

  • Fusili for the consistent sauce-to-pasta ratio.

    Edit: Oops looks like Wardacus beat me to it.

  • At this point it's easier to list things that aren't being "enshittified".

    The easiest ways for a corporation to increase profits in the short term is to increase prices, cut staff, reduce quality control, sell ad space or a combination of those. All of these result in inferior products.

  • AI is clearly no match for little Bobby Tables.

  • Seems you're putting too much thought into this. If you really can't come up with one just try a random noun genetrator a few times until you find one you like.

  • Across the Anglosphere people seem to use "generally" and "genuinely" almost interchangeably these days.

    It's "a couple of minutes" not "a couple minutes". Americans tend to drop it for speed, but it kind of fits with the accent I guess.

    As far as Americanisms go, this is my least favourite... They seem to be dropping the "go" from the aforementioned and it throws me right off the sentence every time.

  • Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.

    ::: spoiler Spoilers from the first book The magic system is well-defined and the noble factions are all there with their own headquarters. Traversal would be the perfect hybrid of Assassin's Creed and Spiderman, running over rooftops and swinging from metal fixtures throughout Luthadel with iron and steel.

    I imagine combat feeling like Breath of the Wild where the player can burn tin to slow down time, allowing the player to perform coin shots, dodge attacks, etc. Pewter increases damage and iron pulls weapons, coins, or enemies themselves if wearing armour. Zinc could allow skaa to be rioted, attacking nearby enemies on the player's behalf whilst brass could be used for stealth.

    Areas the player could access at any given time could be limited via soothing stations and metal availability. The mist itself would even allow the developers to keep draw distance down and prevent players from travelling too far outside the city grounds until the story permits.:::

  • Most religions believe in some kind of afterlife. We know that's unlikely to be true which makes this one all the more valuable.

  • Welcome to the UK and congrats on already understanding more about the political landscape here than half of the voting population.

  • The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.

  • For old school RTS, Total Annihilation or if you fancy something a bit different then The Settlers II (Pioneers of Pagonia is a more modern remake). I grew tired of RTS and moved on to turn-based but Stellaris is one that recently drew me back in.

    For tactics I'd say Advanced Wars, Fire Emblem and Disgagea are decent shouts. Into The Breach is probably my favourite indie of the genre, a lot of strategy packed into a small game.

    If you like turn-based then Civ has always been top of my list.

  • Connect for Lemmy App @lemmy.ca

    Is there a way to downvote via swipe actions?

    I've bounced between Lemmy apps and have found Connect to be the best so far. I particularly like the swipe actions as they free up screen space for content.

    However I cannot find a way to downvote via swiping. Is the feature not available at present or is it hidden away somewhere in the settings?

    New study finds we're on course for 10°C warming at current rates

    This factors in some feedback loops which most sudies to date have ignored. Note, that it excludes extra warming caused by all the additional water vapour in the air.

    For context, studies suggest that the largest extinction event in Earth's history (so far), the Late Permian Extinction Event, saw temperature rises of around 8°C.

    Starfield accessories arrived, thanks Microsoft Rewards!

    The Starfield preview got me hyped enough to finally cash in a big chunk of my points that I've been accumulating since the Series X was released.

    If anyone doesn't use Microsoft Rewards I strongly recommend signing up. It doesn't take much effort to build them up.

    They are slowly nerfing the program so might as well take advantage while it lasts.
