Tremulous was THE game for me for a couple of years, I remember people praising Natural Selection 2 as the FPS/RTS combo and I was like "but that's just one player playing an RTS and the rest playing an FPS". I always preferred the natural way we built in first person, and anyone could build anything, from Tremulous.

I loved her podcast with John Green, it's called called The Universe. In retrospective, mixing an astrophysicist and an author with a sensitive side was a winning move. She kept explaining laws of physics and he kept seeing beautiful metaphors for life.

Yeah but saying climate change is real and vaccines work should not be a political statement, it's just reality and science.

Making a comic about a person hopes and dreams being truncated by being kidnapped by the government, now that's a statement.

Oh yeah, the classic "I can't wait for DNS changes, let me temporarily add the address and IP to the hosts file, it's faster".

More code is better, obviously! Why else would a website to see a restaurant menu be 80Mb? It's all that good, excellent code.

Here in Spain it's estimated that automatic transmission is between 30 and 50% of cars. No official numbers have been released.

So most people have learnt with a clutch. Definitely everyone who has had their license for more than 10 years.

If it was general public I'd say D&D or Linux, for sure. On Lemmy, I guess I would say Pathfinder 2e and Kubernetes.

It's missing a third column for Twitter -> Mastodon 🤣

When I was in my early twenties, I thought paternity tests were something reasonable that maybe everyone should do, just to avoid possible problems in some cases.

I have to tell you, now I have kids and did no paternity tests. My wife and I love each other immensely, we wanted kids, we tried until we got them. It would be insulting to suggest a paternity test on that situation.

The 10th Kingdom (2000). Great miniseries that mashes up fairy tales some modern twists. I really enjoyed all the characters, and the kind-of multiverse was cool.

Tremulous (2006). A first person shooter with first person builder elements. The human team depends on electricity for their various guns and turrets, the alien team can build anywhere and walk on the walls and ceilings, but are more limited to their claw's melee range. There was no matchmaking so you just went to the same server all the time and made friends with the people there. It was cool.

That links redirects me to the MSN Spanish language main page. It had been a while since my last https://xkcd.com/869/

RPG books I know I won't ever play. I ran D&D for two years during the pandemic and now I'm here reading Pathfinder, The One Ring, Legend of the Five Rings, Fate, Savage Worlds, and so, so many Mausritter crowdfundings.

Katie is much more calm than Hank, the energy of the podcast is much more relaxed than anything Hank does lol

I grew up on Ubuntu (started on 4.10), moved to Kubuntu soon after and that was my daily until KDE 4.0 broke everything. I tried GNOME and XFCE but nothing really clicked for me. I got a job, I hated coming home to more sysadmin shenanigans and I moved to Windows.

Finally after I heard that the Steam Deck and Proton working great, and after years of Windows doing bullshit constantly, I came back to Linux. This time Linux Mint because I've been told it's easy to use and has lots of support. I had trouble with the initial setup (Nvidia drivers not working with Safe Boot enabled, it took me two weeks to figure it out) but since then everything has been super smooth.

Anyway don't shoot me, I have kids, they love GCompris and SuperTux!

Sorry to break these news to you but in 2015 they discovered that Brontosaurus actually existed, so the "it was a mix of other species bones" is wrong, as much as a fun fact it was 😟

No Force Unleashed 2? It was not as good as the first but I think it belongs in this collection...

Stuck at 16, "Enter the text below" where it shows me black screen with half a > sign on a corner. I tried entering that, "the text below" and any combination of those words, and the enter character. What am I missing?

Sorry I thought you were answering another comment!

It worked after a reload! I was able to advance a couple more screens but got another "enter the text below" with a black screen and gave up 😅

Isn't this similar to how Amazon Alexa is operating as a loss because nobody ever says "Alexa buy whatever"? The vast majority of people prefer to browse and check for themselves the products for 5 minutes rather than trusting a machine to choose for them.
