Right there with ya on that, the first movie was awful, so I never saw the second. Day One looks like the story I actually wanted to see.
It's a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use.
I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it'd be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.
Yeah, you wouldn't, but in those books, the ai of ships have random evasive movements they perform to make some shots miss.
This reminds me of how in a lot of sci-fi universes, every planet the characters go down to has earth standard gravity. When in reality there would be a ton of variance, some planets would have 20% stronger, or weaker, or crushing.
Expeditionary Force book series was a breath of fresh air, portray space battles how they probably would play out, at such long ranges you could move your ship and avoid a directed energy weapon. The books also do a great job with there being more variety in planetary conditions too. I loved that series. The audio books are fantastic, R.C. Bray does a wonderful job!
As a native english speaker, english is stupid.
Under no circumstance did I expect Trump to gracefully accept a loss. Stone is just stating the obvious.
Oh Hi-Rez you trash company. You ruined one of my favorite franchises of all time, not once, but twice with Tribes Ascend, and Tribes 3.
That's a tough decision to make, especially in today's gaming marketing, but I applaud them for stepping back and recognizing what they had wasn't good enough to sell. Blizzard made that decisions years ago with Starcraft Ghost, the Blizzard of today wouldn't make that same call any more.
That right there is incredibly good to know. Those little changes would make it bearable! Thanks for the information!
I miss multiplayer in PC games being done by joining a server and playing. No match making bullshit, it was fun to be in a server with a mixture of skill levels. As compared with a lot of game snow, when ever your skills improve, you just get thrown into a harder tier of match making until you reach your limit and burn out.
Fantastic, Undead Legacy was on my radar! My best friend and I have played hundreds of hours of Darkness Falls and have loved every moment of it. We've a bit worn out on DF, but I'll keep Undead Legacy in mind the next time we want to do another play through of a 7DTD mod! What's the "anti-bullshit" mod do by the way?
7DTD is fun, but The Fun Pimps have made some perplexing design decisions. Luckily there are a ton of great mods that all have unique spins. I prefer the Darkness Falls mod, it fixes a lot of the stupid design decisions of the original makers, and ramps the difficulty since vanilla 7DTD can be pretty easy after you get built up. Darkness Falls adds supernatural demons to the mix in the late game, and a ton of new mechanics, I absolutely love it.
The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:
A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”
Elon is such a weirdo.
Doom 2016 had a dark moody vibe, you learned more and more about who you were playing. It was very well placed, the environments felt lived in, as you explored you get the impression the facilities housed people up until pretty recently, you can see damage to equipment, signs of fighting. You start learning that the process of corrupting the company was slow at first, and ended with crazy shit like HR asking for volunteers for ritual sacrifice.
Compared with Doom Eternal, which was very arcadey, stages didn't have that "Real life place" feel, instead they felt more arcadey, made in a customer available level editor instead of handcrafted environments. The feeling of atmosphere from Doom 2016 was gone, replaced by weapons and power ups appearing as floating rotating icons, and the occasional Holo projector which would play a ham-fisted tongue in cheek "HR Messages". It felt more like Quake 3 arena then the moody atmospheric game that Doom 2016 was. Also the combat was annoying to me, having to paper rock scissors enemies by only using certain weapons for certain enemies, forced to chainsaw to get a shower of glowing power ups and ammo was the opposite of the look and feel of Doom 2016. Doom Eternal felt like a cartoony caricature of Doom 2016 in the worst possible ways.
No sir, I didn't like Doom Eternal.
I'm hopeful! Doom 2016 was incredible, and Doom Eternal was a massive disappointment to me. So to hear them re-evaluate their approach to combat. Sounds like we have a chunk of time to wait to find out though, they're slating it for a 2025 release.
Always saying the quiet part out loud.
Great video! I had no idea this even was a thing, thanks!
Seems like that maybe should be illegal.
A very strange and creative band named SKYND does songs on serial killers, and they have one for Katherine Knight. It's strangely beautiful and haunting.

I vaguely knew that Mike Johnson was a weirdo, but this video really filled in a lot of details I didn't have. Now I find myself agree with the video's assessment: Mike Johnson is a scary little freak!
I'm a middle aged guy, who, a few years ago, was off handedly told by a dental hygienist while getting my teeth cleaned, that I was tongue tied. I've had a flap of skin under my tongue which holds it down, it isn't severe, but it does restrict my tongues mobility. For instance, I can't really stick my tongue out very far (causes issues for... certain.... activities). And I can't reach the back of my rear molars, something I'm told normal people can do with ease. But it isn't a severe tongue tie by any means. I've also been told that when talking I use different mouth movements then other people for some words, I had no idea what that meant until I started working full time remote and was on camera all the time. I've seen out going video of my self and can spot the weirdness in talking that was referenced.
The dentist has painted this whole story about how my level of tongue tie prevented my palette from widening like it should have as a baby, resulting in a higher palette which pushed up into the sinuses, and also made my face more narrow then it would have been. Obviously, they can't prove any of this, but it's interesting to consider.
My dentist office has added a whole department dedicated to correcting tongue ties, and they push this very heavily. I'm just worried I'd regret having it corrected, but it sure would be nice to have more tongue mobility for the reasons I've described.
Are there any other Lemmings who are in a similar scenario to me? Did you go through with correcting the issue, did you like the end result, did you regret it? What was recovery time like?
Hello adn welcome to my plea for help! I've been PC gaming for a very long time, and in the beginning I used a split dome keyboard, it was fine for what it was. I switched back to standard keyboards though and have been using them for years. I've been a fan of corsair mechanical keyboards for the last 15 years, the last 4 with rapid fire switches.
My issue is, due to the angle my left hand tends to rest on WASD my pink is at an angle when I press shift or control, it never bothered me over the years. But it's starting to cause pain in the joint, probably do the pinky not lining up straight with the movement of the key press, so that the joint in the pinky and getting stress in a direction it isn't supposed to get.
When I joined Lemmy I saw a lot of posts from this community, but after the pinky problem I started wondering if a split mechanical keyboard would help, I think a more ergonomic position for my hand helps with the pinky placement.
Which brands are worth checking out? Do they have "rapid fire" or "silver" switches available? I got used to the very short key travel before it activates and I'd love to try out an ergo mechanical with the same type of switches.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, this problem is pretty damn distressing, I don't want to be hobbled in relation to my favorite hobbie.
Some background on me, I'm big on data privacy, I've stripped out a lot of services which harvest data and sell it. The last scummy bastion is Google Drive and Google Docs. I make use for G-Drive for backup redundancy and accessing things from any where, especially on my phone. Spreadsheet of my favorite horror movies, or a list of Genesis or PS1 games I'm still hunting for, stuff like that.
So my question is, would OneDrive and M365 Personal paid subscriptions work for my use case? Anyone here have experience using those services?

I've found that when I'm faced with infinite possiblities, it's difficult to think of new things, sort of a "paralysis through analysis" type of thing. I found this great site which lists out artistic techniques and a ton of other things to try out.
Andrei Kovalev's Midlibrary 2.0

For example, I saw in the library how cool paper cut outs could be with Midjourney, so I tried paper cut out, female samurai and iterated a ton of times and got the image I've attached, and I adored how it turned out.
What are some of your favorite artistic styles which have teased out the best results from Midjourney?

I was trying for "Bone Queen" and in one of my iterations, I wanted to see if I could get a King and Queen, but got just a queen and I loved how it looked.

I wanted to try for a nice picture of Morticia Addams holding a rose, though Midjourney when set to "Very High" style just defaults to blindingly beautiful young women. I ended up liking the results, but used the Zoom Out 2x feature to pull back the view to filling more detail and make the women take up less space. Prompts:
