I’m pretty sure WiFi is a kind of radio signal…

Im an extremest “No the glass is at precisely half capacity. I meticulously found a geometric proof to show its the fill line is exactly at half of the glass. I counted the fucking molecules one at a time and statistically compared them with a full glass and a empty glass. Its half, no more no less. Both of your perceptions of the world are deeply warped by internal biases.” Kind of guy myself. Or in Lemmy speak, a FiLtHy CeNtaRist!!!

The number pad only ever became relevant to me after decades when I began playing video games that have more keybindings than I have brain cells. Caves Of Qud makes use of basically the the whole number pad just to manually move in 8 different directions.

Yet another good idea in theory ruined by the human condition. Train people to think emails may be dangerous? Instead of critically examining each one they just ignore them to minimize risk by default. No amount of training will beat the cognative skills required for competent spam identification into most heads. Even if it could, some phising is so sophisticated in the social engineering it even tricks up cybersecurity types who should know better. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t from a company perspective.

I was going to say it sounds like linux mint would be your dream OS its stable and bullet proof. Download everything through package manager if you really need up to date program flatpaks or appimages have you covered. Never have the computer force an update on you or change things around again. Both my elderly parents use LM every day for years not one complaint after I set everything up for them with like web app shortcuts to banks and stuff. I think youll like it, modern linux is so much better than years ago its unreal. Look for a cheap used thinkpad if you a laptop user.

In the winter my home can go down into the 40F-50F range with all available heating running on full. Even with electric blankets its better to layer up with thermal underwear, hats, coats, three layers of pants, and gloves.

My mom says she can’t stand a bunch of fabric on her which I guess is fair. I personally can’t stand freezing to death while I sleep myself so its a fair trade.

Voxelibre does have sprinting, its aux_1 in keybind settings. Left Ctrl by default I think

Op you should have poked some eyes into the ram as a facial feature so people would maybe piece it together. It does look phalic some of them even have foreskin, I mean come on you really dont see it?

Hi Hawke, I understand your fustration with needing to troubleshoot things. Steam allows you to import any exe as a ‘non-steam game’ to your library and run it with the proton compatability layer. I sometimes have success getting a GOG game installed by running the install exe through proton or wine. Make sure you are using the most up to date version of lutris many package managers are outdated flatpak will gaurentee its most up to date. Hope it all works out for you

assuming you use steam, see which of your favorite games run with proton compatability layer and which absolutely require windows. You may be suprised.

saying every Civ is the same is like saying every FPS is the same and so Doom and Marvel Rivals have the exact same gameplay.

Oh man I know were not really in too much disagreement here but that false equivalence argument grinds me a bit.

First off were comparing franchise sequels, not tangentially related games of a genre. Civ 4 being like civ 5 being like civ 6 has less to do with being of the 4x genre and more to do with being a direct fucking sequel with an already established gameplay identity that can’t suddenly pivot into being more like endless space 2 or stellaris without pissing off preexisting fans of already existing core mechanics.

Looking at gameplay between various modern civs is almost indistinguishable to my eyes. So what were the big gameplay changes besides remixing tech trees and unit production values?

Finally Since you mentioned DOOM, that’s a good franchise to compare what taking chances with actual gameplay change looks like. Take a look at doom1/2, to doom 3, to 2016, to eternal. Doom 3 tried to switch up the genre into more atmospheric horror, doom 2016 completely redefined modern arena shooters for the next decade with its brutal swift movement based combat. Eternal somehow refined and turbocharged that experience (the new mideval one is looking kind of mid though tbh). With doom you can immediately see actual improvement in most areas of gameplay, or in the case of 3 just a completely out of left field experiment to switch things up. Civ 4,5,6,7? Idk man it all looks samey, but I’m interested to hear in what ways they aren’t.

Actually finally, marvel rivals is a third person action character game, its not even an FPS man come on now.

I do not envy civ players. At least the CoD and FIFA types know what they’re about and embrace the the same reheated gameplay yearly.

But strategy game players who enjoy working the brain muscles and encpuntering novel scenarios? Getting drip fed slight rehashes of tech trees/stat numbers with the exact same gameplay and charging 70$ for it + future DLC? Thats gotta slowly drive the civ community crazy after a decade or two.

Just double knot it.

“okay cool English specific term for darker colored foreigner ethnicity people but apparently its a derogatory racial slur so why would someone identify themselves as one?”

Serious question by the way, is that like your cultures version of “we’ve appropriated a word you used to insult our kind and now pridefully incorporate it as a positive association word into our minority culture, and theres nothing you racist squares can do about it” or am I missing something?

I’ve been sticking with Ironfox as much as I can. It took up the mantle of Mull so Its based off fennec but got the security locked down and mozillas telemetry ripped out. Of course this means some websites don’t play nice so I need to occasionally use a less hardened browser like firefox or kiwi(chromium based that can install any desktop extension). You should be used to that situation if you’ve used a hardened browser before though.

If I recall right you don’t need to use the Tor network on the Tor browser. disconnect from the network and see if you can use it as a regular clear web browser. Also your ISP don’t give a fuck whether you use TOR or a VPN, in fact they probably prefer it. As long as you pay them each month and they aren’t getting calls from DMCA laywers or Feds running a honey pot they dont give a fuck. Apparently Its when you start torrenting gigabytes of data off of cellular network that they start getting pissed.
