vivadanang,

I’m more worried about North Korea’s program. Iran is, strangely, the paragon of reason and predictability - compared to North Korea.

Swedish rye bread (lemmy.ml)

I only bake bread once or twice a year, but I just saw this community pop up, and I wanted to share the loaf I made on Christmas eve. This is a Swedish rye bread. It is a bit sweet, oweing to the brown sugar and orange zest it contains. It is a recipe that goes back at least to my grandmother’s recipe, in which it was entitled...

vivadanang,

looks dense. Would love to try it.

CBD joints

Genuinely curious as I’m a pot user and this made me wonder - why not just… joints? if I were looking for just cbd I’d consumer it other than smoking.

Feel free to dm response heh

2008-2014, I think it had value as a public square where journalists of all stripes really engaged. Now it’s a cesspool. Anyone still hanging out at the nazi bar should really stop and think about the ramifications.

vivadanang,

AAA devs should only release games they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into making once they are absolutely finished and bug free with no expensive future DLCs or microtransactions, absolutely no ongoing subscription costs for the absolute minimum price they think they can sell it for and not go out of business but it should also be DRM free and nobody should buy it anyway because its digital and you shouldnt feel bad downloading it for free because it doesnt cost money to make another digital copy its just corporate greed.”

Honestly I think it’s a lot more complicated and nuanced regarding this here than reddit. When I was a wee lad, I yo-ho-ho some sweet software and games via bbs’s but mostly went legit as I aged. I don’t think there’s more piracy justification here than reddit, but also, I think we’re in a ‘golden-shower-age’ of enshitiffication where services paid for won’t be rendered and that, justifiably, moves the sentiment.

That said, as a game dev, I don’t think people are asking for your proposed argument overwhelmingly - they just want AAA devs to treat their paying userbase better. Some of those considerations are unrealistic, but often they’re justified.

I’m finding Lemmy’s audience to be very similar to 2008 reddit, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than current day reddit and I thank the lemmy creators for having a viable alternative.

FUCK SPEZ.

vivadanang,

I imagine sad, regretful brits dining/vacationing are a boon to the economy.

vivadanang,

The IRS comes in to save democracy in the US? I did not have that on my bingo card.

vivadanang,

This other thread on chicken inflation kinda bucks this trend but who’s really right?

or maybe they’re growing humongous chickens with teeny tiny bones?

vivadanang,

Are these prices 1950 aus shillings? trying to make sense of it, thanks.

vivadanang,

And your elected leaders are fighting it: newsweek.com/wolves-reintroduced-colorado-lauren-…

goddamn she’s dumb.

vivadanang,

everywhere they natively lived

sorry ma’am, your child was one of thirty five killed when we reintroduced wolves to kindercare because they were native here in the 1300s, but their comeback is something to behold, and the survivors have quite a story!

I kid, but also, reintroduce them to areas where they’re least likely to bump up against population, all the areas they natively lived in the past are, unfortunately, overrun by humans. I live in Washington state, where we’re seeing grey wolves slowly come back. I’m all for it. And here in Seattle, we’ve always had Coyotes living around the town, on the large greenways. Keep your cats inside if you love them!

vivadanang,

Archers do this intentionally for skill bonus

can you explain or link to some kind of attribution for this assessment? I don’t know enough about archery to understand how it would help.

vivadanang,

misleading headline. Farmers outraged when cops illegally destroy their crops, burned their house down, and stole $300,000 of tribal funds FROM TRIBAL LAND without an actual crime in sight.

Fucking ridiculous fascist pigshits.

vivadanang,

makes me wonder when people are going to start caring about the power draw from PC’s and consoles.

I love gaming. Grew up gaming. Make my living working in the fringes of the game industry. And it makes me wonder when we’re going to discuss the clock cycles in the room…

I take comfort that the coal rollers and assholes who fly 40 miles for nachos far outweigh any contributions my aging PC generates but I do worry in the aggregate: we’re powering machines to generate heat to provide entertainment, and at some point that’s going to come under examination.

vivadanang,
  • low wages
  • no unions
  • housing is either a lifetime’s savings for down payment on mortgage or a never ending escalator of rent fees
  • states taking reproductive rights away
  • states threatening contraception
  • climate change dooming the future
  • war - war in ukraine, war in palestine, war in africa, civil war being threatened by the chud down the street

Gee Mr Wizard, why don’t millennials want babies instead of avocado toast?

vivadanang,

Makes a fascinating short story:

Jimmy thought his job at the data center was easy, clock in, watch the cameras, do the rounds, clock out. Good pay, low effort…

then 10,000 people showed up with hammers and crow bars. Jimmy was about to have a very bad day.

vivadanang,

oh trust me, the right wing would LOVE to take your ability to choose to procreate out of your hands completely. Abortion for sure, but also the the night after pill and even birth control. slate.com/…/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abo…

vivadanang,

choice or forced the reconcile the gloomy outlook, the right wing would love to take even the right to choose away from the population. slate.com/…/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abo…

vivadanang,

safety training no less. basic gun safety and security was one of the biggest things the NRA did until they transformed into a lobbying org for the arms industry.

this fucking guy… goddamn

Seattle Hospital sues after Texas Attorney General asks for handover of patient records (www.kxan.com)

The Seattle Children’s Hospital filed a lawsuit in Travis County District Court on Dec. 7 against the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG), after that agency requested documents related to gender transition policies and any such care provided to Texas children....

vivadanang,

Dick’s is quite good for the price

yeah ok

I would say that’s the closest thing to In N Out that Seattle has.

fuck bible burger lol, it’s way overrated.

fuck bible chicken while we’re at it, just so we’re all clear.

Where can I look for gamedev (or almost any other dev) jobs?

My main issues are living in a country (Hungary), where a college degree would be almost mandatory for any dev jobs (mainly due to HR being dumb), also I'm disabled so my only job opportunity is a crappy government program one that pays half the minimum wage for full-time employment (!!!!!!), but this is the only no-12 hour...

vivadanang,

depends on where you’re located. here in Seattle we have IGDA Seattle and Seattle Indies putting on events every week.
