Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous" (www.pcgamer.com)

While Elon’s then-partner Grimes was recording her part in the game as cyborg popstar Lizzy Wizzy, the erratic tech billionaire turned up with an antique firearm to “insist” on being included in the game. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds “I told them that I was armed but not...

gingerrich,

What an absolute cunt of a human being.

gingerrich,

Nothing. Out of all the ‘friends’ I had on there, only a handful were ones that are irl mates and I have their numbers. We text occaisionally.

Age of Sigmar slowly becoming WHFB

I’ve been toying with giving Age of Sigmar another shot and having been reading through a load of stuff it really feels like AoS is ever so slowly going back to the old WHFB rules, just with round bases and still having silly individual named rules instead of general rule names like Killing Blow etc....

mil-sim horror game????

Hey all, the subject is basically the question. Are any of you aware of a mil-sim (or somewhat of a milsim) survival game? I know Arma 3 has some mods, but I just find A3 clunky and hard to manage content for. I am also aware of the chernobyl game, whose name escapes me... but it appears to have trouble running on modern...

gingerrich,

There was one called F.E.A.R that fits the bill

Why does no one make a Black and White-style game?

As long as we are talking about old games that are still the gold standard, how is it possible no one has recreated the giant-god-monster and city management game Black and White yet?! That game was fantastic, and its premise so solid. It seems ripe for replication in more contemporary engines.

gingerrich,

Is there an ELIF version of the instructions? Do I need to install all the things linked on the page? Just some? Just one?

gingerrich,

I've only reread a couple. Ghost Story by Peter Straub and I am re reading the Malazan series so I can finish the last three books without being too lost.

Generally I enjoy the experience of reading a new story and rereading I end up a bit bored.

gingerrich,

Mine is probably that Philip K Dick is seriously overrated. Great ideas. Terrible writing.

gingerrich,

Episode 4,5 and 6 are great. The Prequels were a mess and visually did not fit, story was dreadful and George should have been shoo'd away.

The sequels are some of the worst cinema ever, and I have seen Vampire Trailer Park in full as well as the full, uncut version of Pink Flamingos.

gingerrich,

Star Trek TNG and DS9. Brings back a lot of fond feelings and is my TV hug.

Has anyone here stopped drinking?

I stopped drinking on the 18th of March 2023. Because of where I live and how my culture socialises, this was a huge step. But to be honest, in hindsight it was just something I'd been putting off for a long time. The hangovers did just become a nightmare to deal with, plus I didn't feel like I was doing well with my personal...

gingerrich,

Yes. 7 years. I stopped because I was a horrendous binge drinker. The first year was the most challenging but after about 18 months I was able to have a non alcoholic beer once in a while to take the edge off. I would say I get the urge maybe once or twice a year now but it's more of a 'Oooh, that would be nice' but I know it's a slippery slope back if I do have one.

Overall, much happier and I wish I'd stopped sooner but I can't change the past.

gingerrich,

From the article "The trial will not start immediately and is expected to take several years."

gingerrich,

I take a timed, twenty minute nap. Under the sheets. Undressed. And just let me mind wander wherever it wants. I've found that generally I don't often fall asleep but am just on the cusp when the alarm goes off but I feel more rested from that than when I wake in the morning after a 'full nights sleep'.

how’s your week going, Beehaw

somewhat belated because we've been really busy again but! we have a docs page up and running, we have the email situation hopefully sorted out, and stuff is flowing again generally. things are going pretty good right now on the backend for Beehaw, i'd say, and hopefully that continues as the week progresses....

gingerrich,

Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.

However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.

gingerrich,

I've always found Faith No More do absolutely spot on cover versions.

gingerrich,

It's one of the reasons I avoided Trek forums for years. Thankfully the Trek sub (now here) is a much calmer place and it turns out the more militant Trekkies are a very vocal minority.

Anyone else enjoying the Internet better, now that they’re off Reddit?

Hadn’t realized how reliant upon Reddit I’d become for news and interesting things until after it turned to shit and I quit it. I’ve rediscovered RSS for ex., using reader apps to scan sources directly and read without all the noise—that actually came from someone’s recommendation here in the comments. I’ve found...

gingerrich,

I wouldn't necessarily say I am enjoying the internet more but I am using it less, especially the doom scrolling but to be fair I've hardly used much since April and have been watching Star Trek and reading since April instead.

I've noticed an improvement in my mental health overall and I really like how Beehaw operates Vs Reddit with the more polite discussions. Definitely has a positive impact.

gingerrich,

Probably Animal, Vegetable, Mineral on an Amstrad CPC 464 due to pestering to play the learning games.

Proper game would have been Oh Mummy on the same system.

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags (apple.news)

I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity. They shouldn’t be surprised when an all Muslim majority city council starts to act on their belief system and enact ordinances that run against...

gingerrich,

It really is time for people to start realising that religion of all varieties has no place in modern society.

gingerrich,

Personally I'll be staying here and not going back to Reddit. I'd been winding down my use of Reddit recently anyway so the blackout was just the little push I needed to delete my account.

So r/startrek opened their subreddit back up.

https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/14aifzm/rstartrek_reddit_and_the_future/

But they’re still committed to their instance too. Interesting experiment, running dual communities on both sides.

@fediverse @fediversenews

gingerrich,

I believe the one the mods created is startrek.website

Come on over

gingerrich,

I've not played any car games in years but I have fond memories of Outrun and the 1st Gran Turismo.

gingerrich,

Myers adds, “Honestly, I like to imagine that Klingons are a diverse species, and that means there are many different looks the Klingons have. It’s that simple.”

Kinda sums it up nicely.

gingerrich,

Would scrapping gender splits in sports and base catagories on weight work?

I honestly do not know and don't like sports in the slightest but it's a question that has come up while discussing things with my kid.

Stoat, to StarTrek

startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow @startrek for all your Trek needs. 🖖 :trek:

gingerrich,

Absolutely made up about this. Star Trek and the related subs were the only ones I used by the end of me being on Reddit.

gingerrich,

Has there been a replacement for The Trove? Last time I looked all the links following the take down no longer worked.
