I use mint for gaming and it works just fine. Granted my computer isn’t particularly new, and I have an AMD GPU (nvidia is more finicky and some distros support it better than others out of the box)

FYI it’s all one big map. I’m starting in the forest this run and yeah the verticality of this region feels like it’s just asking for delicious bowls of spaghetti

That feeling gets much worse with trains

Absolutely. Satisfactory encourages smaller factories with specific purposes. You can just do one big thing and import raw resources, especially in eg dunes or grasslands, but I think it’s more rewarding the other way around.

Though I will say not to get discouraged by the inevitable need to refactor old spaghetti. If it’s too much work to tear it down, just hook its outputs up to a sink, and go to a different area of the map to rebuild. It’s faster than restarting, and then you get coupons!

I think the game is trying to teach you this by starting you without foundations or splitters. Throughout the game you repeatedly encounter new technologies that fundamentally change how you can build your factories to a new scale. Embrace it.

New game, starting at the beginning again

It’s been a year already? I guess that means I’m due for a replay

I agree that we need to find a way to make this communal rather than individualistic, but government backing isn’t that. It would be nice if that happened and all, but with a thesis like that it feels like it’s missing the mark calling state-hosting "community ". How do we make self-hosted services something that can serve at the level of the community? Like a load balancing reverse proxy that points to the servers those in the community can host and everyone invites their friends and neighbours.

Thanks!

The more concerning thing going on is Debian potentially embracing AI, which I am very much not a fan of.

Can you elaborate on this, or point me to where I can read about it? Getting away from AI was a part of the reason I ditched Windows :/

Trump is shit, and he’s spewing shit, but that doesn’t make this a shitpost.

Why can’t I upvote and downvote this comment

And so it is that Moth through subversion becomes Lantern

Humans do indeed contain multitudes, but I think this gives too much credit to the influence of corporate (and their political interference) interests. Enshittification is an active choice made in board rooms. Disinformation is an agenda. They’re not inevitable grassroots outgrowths.

Lemmy, curated to avoid AI, curtail corporate news, and where the admins and community are fighting bots and trolls is an example of the reclamation attempt.

And you know what? It’s kinda nice here.

Tldr: capitalist efficiency

There is a neat piece about the OS side; worth reading.

Maybe sometimes you gotta shitpost the shitpost with sincerity. Maybe sometimes you don’t particularly care about loss references. Maybe it’s Maybelline. I don’t think we’ll ever know.

It’s a “fantasy football” miniatures/board game, except by fantasy I mean orcs and elves. There’s a lot of violence.

Mechanically it’s about positioning and risk management. Like chess, but the pieces are asymmetrical, unbalanced by design, and wildly incompetent. But it’s ok you don’t have to do probability math because “haha funny sports man trips on his feet just before the endzone, then dies” is all you need to understand to appreciate it as a spectator sport.

Blood Bowl

No shade to Civ 5, it was just a case of I realized my tastes had changed. It took me a few games to be really playing it for that to be able to sink in.

It’s perhaps not the best example of the broader point, but I would have to write a literal essay to say why I’m lukewarm on Rimworld, and it would probably piss off the gamers.
