I feel like the revelation to gaming studios is not that people like a good product, it's that Larian was allowed to make one without investors demanding it be the shittiest thing since shit sandwiches.

Personally I think the solution for planes is the one noone wants to hear :( We just need to fly a LOT fewer planes. Electric for short flights possibly but even then with the charging time the uptime on those is pretty bad compared to burning carbon and probably always will be. So... more electric trains? Pretty please?

I can't imagine it's got a weight advantage over just running cables like they already do.

Go fasch, no cash

Light Domain ftw! It's so much fun. And the dawn is so radiant with Lathanders brilliance

I am very glad they didn't. I hope they never do.

sigh I guess it's just cool to claim to have found room-temperature superconductors this month. I wouldn't trust anything coming from a blockchain company regardless but making such an outlandish claim would be comical if the intended purpose of filing this patent wasn't almost certainly to patent troll anyone they can while people are interested in trying to replicate the claims of the Korean paper

I have no problem with FOSS having a monetary cost. Devs have to eat too. The dev on Google Play store does seem to be on the core team for the app. (https://github.com/OpenTracksApp) I would hope the money is going to the project and not just that one guy but I don't see anything transparent about it. That being said it would really not be hard for any of that team to notice that the app is on the g play store and for money with that person's name attached to it. So it's most likely on the up and up.

Edit: Other people have noted that the play store version is essentially the donate to project option. I need more coffee since I didn't find that link lol

It is great to see support for the devs here though!

This looks really cool! Thanks!

Does the Fediverse have more of a mental health problem than other social media sites? Or is it just more visible and more likely to be hidden away?

They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove them

My main character I'm playing coop with friends. I wanted a solo character on a different difficulty :)

"Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult. This matters to users because making the web more private without providing new APIs to developers could lead to websites adding more:"

Ohhh it's fighting fraud that they want to do! And here I thought it was entirely for the much more profitable goal of maintaining advertising revenue. Well, I'm SO GLAD to be wrong on that one. Slash S.

Combined with lanes that are narrow enough that a driver really isn't going to feel comfortable going faster than 30km/h anyway! I don't want to "share the road" with vehicles that are going to be super aggro, fast and dangerous. But it's not bad when everyone is going closer to the same speed anyway.

I am fairly certain they see a sign like that and simply think that it is to tell cyclists to keep out of their way

As a bee enthusiast, I approve of this artwork

This is great news for the Barbie Movie

OH wow.. whoah. idk where to start with this. Ok, that would require people to adjust their lifestyles and actually do something. But WORSE, it would ask the auto industry to change. Sorry, this is a non-starter.

Can't wait to watch the steam charts. I'd be especially interested once they put the other blizzard titles on Steam as well since then we can estimate the number of players per game out of the "monthly active users" they report in their quarterly.

Blizzard is desperate here. And if there's one thing about the internet it's that people are good as sharks for smelling blood in the water. It's the objectively correct move, but it could still end up backfiring if people can actually SEE just how dead the game is, and leave negative steam reviews.

Also, who exactly is going to install it through steam? Almost everyone who was going to play Overwatch already has. There's going to be a minimum of people who just don't want to have any game launcher but steam on their pc and really wanted to play Overwatch but couldn't stomach the battle . net client. If it gets steam deck certified that is the only draw I can really see aside from a smattering of casual new sign ups.

Sad days. This was my favourite game for a very long time and it feels like potential squandered on a level not seen until Musk came along and bought Twitter.

Edit: spaced out the battle net to not be recognized as a link

I don't know the precise answer, but how I would approach this if I could only find the wing span is I'd look up a bunch of photos, like the one you've supplied, and measure the ratio of body length to wingspan in pixels. Then you can apply that ratio to the average wingspan that you are able to find. Would it be 100% accurate? No. Would it be good enough for an RPG? For any character or species I'd make I think it'd be close enough. But that's for you to decide.
