I really like that there was a whole thing about building a super-weapon where players had to complete quests or whatever to contribute to its development. Then enough players compete the quest and the weapon was completed, and it turned out to be an orbital bombardment that killed enemies and players indiscriminately.
A lot of players were pissed but it’s so aggressively in-character I can’t imagine how they didn’t see it coming.
The .ml domain stands for the country of Mali, but lemmy.ml definitely chose that domain because it can stand for Marxist-Leninist.
Dual trackpads but still dual joystick and a real D-pad.
I really tried to like my steam controller but the trackpads as the main control surface didn’t work that well.
“Panama isn’t about a city, it’s the stage name of a stripper from Albuquerque!”
I think people really overestimate how much everybody knows about the US.
I’d say there’s a large population that only know NYC, LA, and Chicago.
Never give cops your phone, yes. Also, don’t use biometrics to lock your phone. Police can legally force you to unlock with your thumb print, they legally (and like, physically) cannot force you to reveal a passcode stored only in your brain.
30 years ago that’s just who he was. The local fuckstick who would pick crazy arguments at the bar. It was almost a rite of passage in Austin to get into a fight with him.
Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.
That’s not exactly what the Haka is. They were often performed as a precursor to war, but not exclusively. They’re also used as a celebratory ritual, you’ll see modern day Maori doing a haka for kids graduating school for example.
Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.
If you’re in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.
Layers are the way to go.
Good boots, preferably waterproof if you’ll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin “liner” gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).
Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.
Best news I’ve seen in weeks
At least 2 DMT trips ago
You don’t have to like his music, but Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band is one of the realest dudes in the music industry.
Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.
There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.
You could also like…sit down at the subway and eat your sandwich.
A sub is a pretty difficult driving meal though, if you have any care for the cleanliness of your car. Lots of ingredients threatening to spill out of the bread at any moment.
It’s a little more specific than that, like it has something to do with a way they attempted to streamline the process of switching between mounted and on-foot.
But yeah, still bullshit.
Patent No. 7545191
Patent No. 7493117
Patent No. 7528390
Note that every single one of these patents was filed after palworld was released, and they’re all awfully vague about what they actually cover.
Donald Trump won the popular vote in an election with record setting voter turnout. Lack of democracy from the electoral college or voter suppression didn’t do this. People voting for Trump did.
Can they disable their steam forums if they don’t want to moderate them?
