Wat?

Plus, their equivalent of the AUR, the open build system, can actually be used to build packages for any system.

When I was on vacation with my father in Scotland we wanted to see the highland games in Glenisla. We needed directions or needed to know the exact date when they'd take place or so, so we went to some tourist information. That poor girl there had no idea what we wanted when we asked about glennis-law. But she soon figured out that we meant glen-ila.

The highland games were awesome, btw!

For the first time in forever I am playing multiple games at the same time.

Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos. I had that game as a kid but I don't think I ever got any further than the first enemy. And it's amazing! The whole game is dubbed. And it has four protagonists to choose from, each with their individual voice lines about basically any situation or item you come across. And all the NPC's lines match them and they address you by name.

And the graphics are super beautiful. Pixel graphics but with great details and animations. Like when you get your spellbook you get a super elaborate T-1000-like animation of some droplets forming a scroll.

X-Wing via XWVM: The old X-Wing game with updated graphics and quality of life improvements. Just awesome! It's still an alpha but basically plays like a beta. I have hardly any bugs, just occasional crashes, and none are game breaking. And supposedly they are already pretty far along with TIE Fighter compatibility. Can't wait to play that. TIE Fighter TC is nice and all, but stuffing everything into the X-Wing Alliance engine feels pretty clunky while XWVM just works.

Cyberpunk 2077: My son bought it on sale and I wanted to try it as well, although I don't really like cyberpunk. Too realistic. But the game is great. Plays like a combination of Deus Ex and GTA. I'd say it feels more like the original Deus Ex than the newer Deus Ex games. Maybe with slightly less open levels. But not much.

Limbo: The game is about to be delisted from GOG so I got it quickly. It's chill to play which suits me well. Love it so far.

Obligatory reminder that defensive lawyers are an important part of the judiciary system to ensure that there is no doubt in a person's guilt.

I always get the weird issues I can't reliably reproduce. I'm still getting this one and I still don't know what triggers it.

Luke waking up and then telling his son Ben Skywalker that he had a terrible dream that didn't make any sense.

I can't even enjoy the good stuff like Andor because it's part of the same cursed Disney timeline. If they scrapped the sequel trilogy I might be persuaded to come back.

They already did that. I think it was Lego based.

Edit: Trailer

Hmm, I almost never block anything. That's not it.

But it does feel like it's related to refreshing.

I'm reminded of when my boss asked me whether our entry test was too hard after getting several submissions that wouldn't even run.

Sometimes prospective employees are just shit.

Doesn't make it any less outrageous.

And then the kids get annoyed when the movies are nothing like the show. There actually is a Jurassic World show and our kids were a little bummed out that Jurassic Park wasn't like it, but the movie is good enough that it's not too bad.

But The Fast And The Furious show is some super high tech spy shit while at least the first movie is about car races. We didn't manage to watch even half of the first movie.

There literally are forums with ActivityPub support. Bumping is not some magic feature of forums. If you sort on Lemmy by activity you can get exactly the same behaviour.

And bumping is even often frowned upon because it pollutes active discussions. It's just people abusing how those forums sort threads.

Then why are there post types for just text or images? Because it isn't just a link aggregator. Same thing with Reddit. It hasn't been a pure link aggregator for decades.

When I lose my phone in my couch.

Light sabers follow a similar overall principle of 'plasma bolt contained by some kind of coherence field'... but they use totally different internals to generate both the plasma and coherence field, and can seemingly just... do this nearly infinitely, never needing to 'reload', never running out of energy.

In the comics taking place tens of thousands of years before the movies the Jedi have to carry large energy cells with them. They are attached with long cables to the hilts.

They aren't lasers, though. That's just a colloquial term. Like how we call large language models AI.

You are what you eat.

Wow. Whoever saw that one coming should play the lottery because they're clearly psychic.

So bus is really pronounced beece. Thank you.
