Obligatory notice: I play on Nintendo Switch. Now that I can do Nexus missions and earn quicksilver, are there recommendations on what I should work towards? I like that for most of the items I have to spend several days to get enough banked to buy stuff, but it makes me hyper-aware that I should be wise about it....
Hah, I've never gotten a bobblehead because I always use external ship view. I was today years old when I learned that they had a mechanical benefit.
I spend my quicksilver on building parts. I've gotten the few cosmetics for my traveler and ship that I need, but I really like having artwork on my base walls, so I buy all the posters.
Mostly just: target walls. I often then put a florescent tube light -- scaled down and rotates along the long axis -- right above the poster to give it a gallery-like lighting effect.
Sometimes, depending on wall-building wonkiness, certain posters will clip through. Best thing I can suggest then is to put two flat-panels on the wall, overlapping and scaled down to just larger than you want your poster to be, then put the poster on top of those. Gives a nice "frame" effect. Buuuuuut that can be wonky too, and some posters will sometimes clip through the flat panels, for Reasons known only to HG.

The US supreme court has ruled that Native American children can continue to be protected under federal law against being removed from their tribal communities for fostering or adoption, rejecting a petition from a white couple who argued that the provision was a form of racial discrimination.
Hello fellow travelers! I wasn't even aware Lemmy was a thing until the most recent Reddit shenanigans. I was a big lurker on Reddit, but I'm completely down with this whole Lemmy/federated server thing so I want to help make this new situation home as much as I can....
So as much as I love the NMSGlyphExchange sub format, and want to get it recreated here, don't sleep on https://nmsce.com/ for your ship-searching needs!
One of the things that has been frustrating me most deeply when trying to move to Lemmy, especially as the exodus from Reddit really picks up steam, is finding new communities as they set up shop. Most of them appear to be landing on lemmy.ml, which has adopted more of an open-door policy for community creation. That's fine, I'm...
mander.xyz is a pretty small instance devoted to science and nature communities. It's relatively tiny compared to lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. In order for a community to appear in the smaller instance's community list it must first be "fetched". To do this, you have to enter the full url for the community you want to fetch into the...
I ran into this same frustrating problem. The whole "fetches in the background after you search" thing makes sense in a very "you are technically correct" kind of way, but it would be a much better user experience to just have a spinner and wait for the community/post to be fetched, rather than gaslight users.
For me in SciFi I've been trying to hit some classics so I've read 'The Iron Dream' by Norman Spinrad, 'A Time of Changes' by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) 'Out of the Ruins' anthology....
I got through the first book in Three Body, but while I liked some of the philosophical and crazy-tech explorations, I really struggled with the writing/translation style. It was so stilted and awkward to read that it put me off trying to read the following volumes.
Recently filled in one of the gaps in the Culture series by the late, great Iain M Banks (that I didn't even realize I'd missed!). Surface Detail is another quality entry, dealing with virtual afterlives and presents a little more context of the Culture in a broader galactic context than we normally see it.
I've already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances....
The search didn't work for me, coming from lemmy.one. Didn't even show a "no results" message. Copypastaing the whole URL worked, but that is a deeply wonky interface :(

TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance.
