What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • Dragon age: origins: I got absolutely sucked into this game. The story is great (wtf dwarfs), combat was fun and challenging. One of the few games I've tried to 100%.

    Football Manager: one of the most addicting games I've played, I must have put thousands of hours (over the different versions) into it at this point. I love building a team, tweaking my tactics, and leading my team to global dominance. My partner laughs at me because this game is basically my irl job (recruiter).

    Banjo Kazooie/Tooie: showing my age here a bit, but one of the best 3d platformers imo. Levels are fun, music is great (pirate level music is always in my head), mechanics felt great and inventive, characters are super memorable

    Red Orchestra: Ostfront: my favorite shooter of all time, but unfortunately the game is dead now. Nothing is more satisfying than killing a man in one shot at 700m and then manually cycling the bolt. The newer red Orchestras are good, but a bit too action-y and with pretty short engagement distances

    ARMA 2/3: realistic military sandbox. I had so much fun playing this in my clan. It was almost like a FPS DND game, we had members create missions and then 100 people would play them out — some of my best gaming memories are from this. I miss you, Bourbon Warfare.

    Former Lebanese central bank governor charged with embezzling $42m in ongoing corruption probe
  • I think this is likely just some political theater to shut France up. They'll find him guilty, and then sentence him to house arrest where he can relax in his beach side mansion (it's very nice btw)

    Has there been a depiction of fast food on a space station?
  • SS13 has a chef on the station who makes all sorts of food, but mostly pizzas and burgers. I don't recommend eating their food though, it's pretty likely it will be made of your coworkers.

  • Women are you doing tonight or tomorrow night and I was like a big beer and I will be there in about the same as last time I was there to help you out with that I just got home from work with you on the way to work now and then I can go to work and I can get you a new one for the kids to the park and I will be there in about it and I will be there in about the same as last time I was there to help you out with that I just got home from work now and then I can go to work and get the office and I will be there in about the same as last time I was there to help you out with that I just got home from work now and then I can go to work and get the rest of the day off and I can get you a new one for the kids to the park and I will be there in about the same as last time I was there to help you out with that I just got home from work now and then I can go to work and get the rest of the day off and I can get you a new one for the kids to the park and I will be there in about the same as last time I was there to help you out with that I just got home from work now and then I can go to work and get the rest of the day off

    Our Buildings Were Built for a Different World | The climate crisis demands that we retrofit them—which won’t happen at scale until architects start seeing themselves as political actors.
  • District heating/cooling is a big one. I think NY is still using 1st gen technology which is kind of crazy in this day and age (also crazy it's one of the few places in the US using DH). We've moved so far in DH that I can't imagine why they're still using steam. The newest generation networks operate just above ambient, so the fact they're still using steam blows my mind.

    Essential movies to watch
  • I fucking love In the Loop, but it took me a few viewings to understand what the hell was going on. I should watch it again.

    Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?
  • Oh a fellow tracker enjoyer! I really wanted to get the M8 but they're a bit hard to come across in Europe so I went with the polyend tracker mini (and I have some mixed feelings about it, need to try the new firmware.) I also just got invited to buy the woovebox, so I might pull the trigger on that for more portable music fun.

    I'll check out those iems since I need some portable monitoring. My headphones aren't handling my commute very well. How do you like the moondrops?

    I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
  • I feel for you dude, the pizza should just be the fair price without having to dive into some stupid deal system. Just sell the pizza for the price of the damn pizza. The other guy sounds like a silly domino's evangelical lmao. "I have dominos wisdom, hear my words!!"

    Such a weird thing to defend their business practices, it's not even quality pizza.

    Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again
  • I was also a Google music enjoyer and also find the other streaming options pretty crappy. I've actually moved over to more curated options like internet radio for when I'm not in the mood for anything specific. Shout-out to NTS, I love you.

    Samsung is sunsetting Tizen and fully ending support for the smartwatch OS
  • Is this the norm for smart watches? I just bought my first one, a Redmi watch 3 active, 6 days ago and still haven't charged it yet (just got to 18%.)

    There's no way I'd put up with another device that I have to charge every day.

    Green or red flag?
  • I think they flagged me as a gun nut enthusiast because my feed is literally nothing but gun videos. I am American but live in Europe; one of the reasons I moved here is because of the lack of guns!

    I knew it
  • I live in the Netherlands, I have a strong suspicion they are lizard people. I also have a strong suspicion I will regret this post. I'm drunk.

  • I took this photo of the statue of Yaroslav the Wise near Andriivsky Uzviz in Kyiv with a church in the background in spring 2020(2021 maybe?). I did some slight photo editing to remove power lines from the frame.

    Today, the statue is covered with sandbags to protect it from Russian missiles/shaheds
