  • Chewy: Esc from F5

    A funny little German point and click adventure about a little pink alien landing on earth and trying to get back to space, I think. I should play it again. I think by now it even has ScummVM support.

    A little better known is Simon the Sorcerer. But it was kind of overshadowed by Monkey Island.

  • You know what is deservedly never talked about? Star Wars Force Commander. Another RTS but this time it sucked ass.

    Had a killer soundtrack though. https://youtu.be/yCU_6IFc9t0

  • Might and Magic anything beyond Heros of Might and Magic 3 is rarely if ever talked about. Although it was an awesome series.

  • Dude, you're preaching to the choir. Even outside of the tankie triade Lemmy is so left leaning that it's hard to find anyone not knowing that the US (and much of the rest of the world to slightly lesser extent) has become a fascist shit show.

    Your posts do absolutely shit against WW3. If you actually want to do something against WW3 go out and protest, talk to people with actual power and sway them. Some shitposts in a tiny Lemmy community are nothing but meaningless virtue signaling.

  • No, my reason was that using a microwave for cooking is completely valid and not at all comparable to letting AI produce garbage for you that you then blindly copy into your own source code.

  • I only downvoted this because it's an insult to microwave cooking.

  • Yeah, I think the link preview is the only real solution. Like you said, best shown under the same paragraph.

  • For that you strip the string to be tested of all non-ASCII chars before you run the regex.

    But I see what you mean. I just fear that if links could be shown in different equally non-threatening colors users wouldn't know what to do with that information.

  • ^https?://[a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+(/[^\s]*)?$

    Been a while since I've written regex and it could certainly be a little bit more correct. But whatever Voyager already uses to find URLs in a text to turn into a link should suffice.

  • Because it's cultural appropriation!

  • It honestly depends more on the source to me. I'd like to claim to rely on data but life is short and there is no way I can verify even a fraction of all the truths I have come to accept.

  • And it wasn't even news back then. Almost immediately after the BG3 release Swen Vincke talked about the next project being an in-house IP again. And not much later they quit working on a DLC.

  • I thought a bit more about it and I think instead of colouring URLs differently a better approach might be to colour []() in red if the label looks like a URL but is different from the actual URL.

  • That's basically what OP is using now. After Simple was sold to a questionable owner all their apps were forked as Fossify. They are better.

  • Technology isn't the hard part of OF. Money and moderation are. Most of the big payment suppliers like PayPal and credit card companies are vary about porn or outright ban it. So you need a partner who will take the money from customers and give it to you. And then you might need a different (or same) partner to give the money to the content creators.

    And all the time you have to make sure that none of the creators are hosting illegal material or something that is not allowed by the money transfer providers.

    But from the point of view of the creators all the money handling is the biggest service OF provides.

  • I got a Quest 1 (back when it was still supported) for cheap on ebay. PC VR and sideloaded free games and piracy have kept me afloat. I'm not even logged in to Meta's shit.
