An artist says Nerf’s Destiny 2 hand cannon is a ripoff of their work
  • Maybe I just don't remember how exactly Ace looks in game anymore and the fanart has tome unique take the Nerf company took? I just see Ace of Spades more or less how I remember so that might be why I'm confused

    Why limit immigration?
  • Like Christianity did you mean?

    That said, I don't disagree with the sentiment - the respect should come both ways and the imigrants should respect the native culture, but that also doesn't mean they havento give up their own.

    Why limit immigration?
  • Local culture always changes in time. Take Europe, it's culture steeped and deeply influenced by Christianity in many countries. And yet Christianity is a religion with Middle East origins. People just don't look at the bigger picture - or don't want to. The change in the past was not happening to them, but it is now and that's what matters.

    Europe saved its predators from the brink of extinction. So why is it killing thousands of bears, wolves and lynx?
  • Over here we have people akin to that in the ministry of environment and theu get to chanhe laws and stuff to suit them.

    No care for preventing the encounters, they like it as it gives them reason to kill them. Couple of months back there was a male bear who got into town, so they went to hunt it down and in the end they said the bear was shot down but it was a female... as long as there is a dead bear, they don't care

  • You don't understand, steel is either solid or melted. No in-between. No idea what you mean by forging temperature, swords for example are forged by pouring liquid steel to a form, it's in so many movies!

    /s obviously.

    Neil Gaiman Offers To Step Back From ‘Good Omens’ Season 3
  • he should finish the series (season 3 was going to be the last) and then step down.

    There was an article shared recently (could be here, could be diffetent community) that the production on S3 halted, might be he is stepping down so that it may get moving and see it done at least.

    Summer 2024 Was The Hottest On Record
  • At this point telling yourself you will probably never experience colder year that the current one is the only viable optimistic position and I hate it.

    [Lefty Cartoons] Let’s Outlaw Being Homeless! That’ll Work!
  • Should be reference to Spartacus' rebelion? When defeated, the rebeling slaves were asked to point out Spartacus to which everyome of them said "I'm Spartacus".

    Or so the story goes.

    What have been your favorite hacks for this game?
  • Set Empathy to 0 when creating the character if possible. Not a popular thing to do, but sets you up for success. Not great for co-op play though

    What have been your favorite hacks for this game?
  • What I hate about that though is that you don't keep any progress you make. Though with how the encounters are guided by RNG, this may be a good thing in some cases.

  • So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

    I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

    I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!

    I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.

    How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?

    Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?

    So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...

    So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

    I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

    There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?

    I'm starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I'm specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it's only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?

    So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general?

    And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this?

    Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)
