'Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024' Features Detailed, Launching with VR Support in November
  • Frustrating to see MS add VR support to their own titles while simultaneously killing WMR and all associated devices. Sure, VR in MFS24 sounds great, but it's a bit of a slap in the face for the people whose WMR devices will turn into e-waste later this year.

  • Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died
  • It's incredibly sad to hear someone die of a preventable cause this young, but I can also somewhat relate with the people who reviewed her application.

    If a living donor wouldn't have been sufficient, they've now created two patients where they previously had one, and without improving the primary patient's condition. It makes sense that a donor organ from a deceased donor would be preferable.

    That said, the current requirement for the patient to meet deceased donor standards for transplantation to be eligible to use a willing living donor make no sense. Both situations should have their own unique criteria, given that a living donor situation involves different risks for both the patient and the donor than a deceased donor situation would incur.

    Ultimately this whole situation boils down to a scarcity situation though. If we want to solve this, it will require more people to register themselves as a donor and a review of the eligibility criteria as soon as more donors are available.

  • ADHD Rule
  • I'm sorry to hear that. And yes, it's depressing to see these "privitization will save us all" types destroy public services using the same old playbook of "defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out" everywhere.

  • ADHD Rule
  • This might be a bit sensitive of a question to ask, but what country are you in? Because I've lived in several western European countries and the access to healthcare wildly varies between them. Especially countries that've "enjoyed" a multitude of conservative/right wing governments over the past three decades seem to have really embraced enshittifying healthcare access and affordability while pushing an American-style private system as the "solution".

  • In a loving way
  • How is this so accurate?

    We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.

  • Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t just a bad movie – it’s changing what ‘movies’ are
  • There is a market for movies that make you think as much as there is a market for movies that are just about spectacle.

    Calling one more true to the art of cinema than the other does a disservice to the medium and all the expressive, creative, and entertainment potential it holds.

    Calling it the death of movies is so hyperbolic, it is beyond nonsense and frankly smacks of elitism.

  • What have you played this week?
  • Still trying to get through Animal Well. The cat disc keeps tripping me up as I need to make it to the final flame with the fake disc.

    Also picked up Tears of the Kingdom again, trying to complete all the shrines.

  • Can we get a FAVORITE ALBUMS roll call going?
  • What about World coming down or Life is killing me? I find the album's that document the band and Peter's struggles easier to connect with at an emotional level than the previous - admittedly great - albums where it sometimes felt like the band was intentionally parodying the goth scene.

  • Can we get a FAVORITE ALBUMS roll call going?
  • I can't really or an order to them as they're all favorites of mine, but there's a top 10:

    Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time

    Life of Agony - River runs red

    At the gates - Slaughter of the soul

    In Flames - Colony

    Sentenced - Down

    Black Sabbath - Master of reality

    Iced Earth - Alive in Athens (I know this is cheating as it's basically a best of album, but so what)

    Kyuss - Welcome to sky valley

    Queensryche - Operation mindcrime

    Death - The sound of perseverance

    Honestly though, I could put together a top "whatever" and still have too little space to place all the entries.

  • How right winged is canada?
  • It will never cease to amaze me that anyone supports that clown. Even if you agree with his politics, he's such an absolute garbage fire in everything he does I can't imagine anyone electing him over a competent option.

    It's like electing the village clown because you like his stance on abortion.

  • WMR VR headsets on Linux

    Reading up on some of the more recent posts regarding VR on Linux, I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick rundown of the actual state of VR gaming on Linux for users of WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2.

    Seeing as Microsoft is about to nuke that entire ecosystem later this year, it would be great if there's a way for people that invested in these headsets to continue using them on Linux, instead of turning a whole slew of devices into fresh e-waste.

    Thanks!

    [Solved] [Stoner metal]
    First hint at 24 hours

    Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important

    Second hint at 48 hours

    Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .

    Answer

    Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.

    Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

    We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

    [Solved] [Heavy metal]
    Tap for spoiler

    Savatage - Strange wings

    Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
