Skyhighatrist,

All the way through your comment I was thinking, you should try Slay the Spire, but you beat me to it. Another one you might consider is Star Traders: Frontiers I don’t think it has any microtransactions (it’s also on Steam)

Absolutely Anything (2015 1080p) (www.youtube.com)

Absolutely Anything is a 2015 British science fantasy comedy film directed by Terry Jones, and written by Terry Jones and Gavin Scott. It stars Simon Pegg, Kate Beckinsale, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Rob Riggle, Eddie Izzard and Joanna Lumley, with the nonhuman characters’ voices provided by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Jones,...

Skyhighatrist,

I mean, it’s not a masterpiece but I don’t think it deserves 20%. I’d say the IMDB rating is the most accurate IMO.

You can add it to steam, it’s free and dlc bought from ea works with the steam version.

I find it’s easier to get the ea version running though, so I usually just add the launcher as a non steam game, and that works fine too.

Skyhighatrist,

While “any” would be a better word choice for this sentence, either can be used for more than two options. It’s just not very common.

Skyhighatrist,

I should really have said “While ‘any’ may be a better word choice…” since I didn’t know the context.

Skyhighatrist,

That game’s closer to 20+ years old. It’s been a very long time since I’ve played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.

Skyhighatrist,

My bet, A youtuber discovered the game and made videos that did reasonably well in the indie audience, then other youtubers picked up and it snowballed some. I’ve been seeing more coverage of the game on youtube for a couple of years now.

Skyhighatrist,

Not only that, but it comes off as some weird replacement kid for their dead son. The Pitch Meeting is fun

Skyhighatrist,

Many people misunderstand. It’s not that Orange Cats have a single braincell. It’s that all orange cats on the planet share a single braincell among them. At any given moment only one orange cat may be using the braincell.

Does anyone know of a half-way decent FOSS alternative to Kega Fusion?

To start off, I just want to say that Kega Fusion is a wonderful emulator for pre–Sega Saturn emulation. However, the fact that it is not open-source concerns me. What if something happens and the person is required to take it down? (Not likely after 14 years but still…) Or hell they just decide to take it down for whatever...

Skyhighatrist,

I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Thread showing meta hid a comment that mentioned Pixelfed
Skyhighatrist,

The tooltip for fedipact says: “Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)”

To me that says, they’ve agreed but it’s not confirmed that they’ve gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says “All communications are blocked”

Skyhighatrist,

I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day

DS9 gets way better in the last few seasons, IMO. Worth sticking with it.

Skyhighatrist,

AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it’s not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

Skyhighatrist,

A wave rarely comes alone

An equivalent idiom in English for this one might be “When it rains, it pours”

Skyhighatrist,

That’s generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. “I’m pissed” can either mean “I’m drunk” or “I’m angry” depending on where you are and the context.

Skyhighatrist, (edited )

This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.

“Fucking the dog” - means to slack off, particularly at work.

“I fucked the dog all day at work today” basically means I got nothing done.

It is distinct from “screw the pooch” which means to fuck something up badly.

Skyhighatrist,

I took German classes in high school and have been struggling ever since not to automatically capitalize nouns when I write in English. It’s been like 25 years.

Skyhighatrist,

As an English speaker I would naturally interpret “You are worth dick” and “you are not worth dick” in the same way.

Skyhighatrist,

Yeah, that’s one of the geographical differences I was alluding to. In Canada it can mean either depending on context.

Skyhighatrist, (edited )

Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.

I went to a movie this Saturday

This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say “I went to a movie Saturday” and drop the “this” entirely in that case.

I’m going to a movie this Saturday

This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.

Skyhighatrist,

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn’t want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur

This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.

Meh, I saw documentaries listed but didn’t catch that they weren’t looking for those specifically. Doesn’t matter the OP isn’t the only one in this thread and so it’s here in case someone else finds it interesting.

Kingston City Council to vote on enclosing Memorial Centre Aqua Park (lemmy.ca)

Enclosure of Culligan Water Park to provide year-round aquatic services, expanding from 3 months to 12 months per year. It is anticipated that this initiative would add 0.75 aquatic service capacity and could be implemented in the short to medium term based on cost and financing. This initiative supports additional community use...

Skyhighatrist,

Is this in Canada?

Is this a serious question? It’s in Kingston, Ontario. Which also happens to be the community it’s posted to and you’re commenting in.

Anyway, it’s here
