Not in Europe, wow. I just came back from a trip and you literally can go everywhere on public transport, including to the tiniest weirdest towns you can think of.
It's a dream, and I wish we had something like that 😢
I'm trying to make a game in this genre though I describe it as a base-building/simulation/survival game, other favourites include Oxygen Not Included, Timberborn, Factorio and Satisfactory.
A heat wave that has stifled the southern tier of the U.S. for weeks has expanded into the Plains, Midwest and now the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Thursday, triggering heat alerts for over 227 million people, according to the National Weather Service.

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much....
I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour... and then I read the latest TOS...
You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.
i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It's so horrifyingly immoral.
I've not seen this "waive moral rights or attribution" in any other site. It's not in Twitter's, it's not in Facebook, I don't think it's even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).
The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is "prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation"

Yeah it's been enabled on the crypto reddits for a while... as a result the subs overwhelmingly changed to "vaguely interesting and/or attention-grabbing but ultimately useless with a race to see who's first" posts, signal-to-noise ratio got way worse.
There has been significant discussion in recent weeks regarding Meta/Threads. We would like to express our disappointment with the negative and threatening tone of some of these discussions.

Facebook/Meta have repeatedly shown horrible behaviour, from poor moderation to Cambridge Analytica to enabling the Rohingya genocide, I think they're already in the guilty camp.
I do like large gatherings, but I don’t really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to “be myself” with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and...
In this release, we’re updating the engine from SDL to SDL2, and there are many optimizations to go along with it. Aside from the optimizations, SDL2 is also the stepping stone to ports. We have Linux compiling and playable; it just needs some testing....
By "rendering" I mean when you interact with OpenGL, the GPU, etc - at least in my engine (lwjgl/libgdx), it's expected to be on the main thread. From what I understand too when you get into GPU land everything is already kinda-asynchronous on the driver side - it's only when you call flush() that it actually blocks your thread - which makes it difficult to profile some things.
But I am still a newb at all of this! I'd love to hear your experiences!!
Yeah in the future I've already decided I want to try creating IntBuffers and stuff on threads but I'll need to do a lot of testing to make sure it's actually faster across a wide range of hardware 😀
I wrote a little blog post about my latest work if you're curious!
Serral wins 4-2 over Gumiho. Serral has been on an absolute tear since Katowice - he is 54-2 in matches and 126-20 in maps. Only MaxPax and Clem have taken a match off him. This is 2018 Serral again.
