War Thunder’s event this year is pretty tame compared to normal, but its still fun.

First, they released a trailer for infantry in their vehicle combat game. This turned out to be a misdirection, and instead, they released an event adding WW1 vehicles.

The event itself is a weird, misbalanced, buggy mess, moreso that normal War Thunder, and moreso than you would expect making experimental anti-infantry vehicles fight each other. That said, its a fun novelty nonetheless.

I’ve got the Razer BlackShark V2. Don’t know whether it’s the best but the mic sounds almost like a studio mic. Never had any issues with it.

I have the wired version currently, but I need something wireless, and the wireless version is out of my budget unfortunately. $230 CAD.

Calling it now: Putin will break the ceasefire (as always) and then the US will pause aid again.

This will just be a chance for Putin to consolidate his gains and kill/remove Ukranians from captured territory.

Edit: On second thought, when Russia breaks the ceasefire, they’ll probably blame it on Ukrane and have Trump impose sanctions or similar.

If all your art looks like the single image provided, then the honest answer would be yes, unfortunately. That said, one image with minimal content isn’t much to go off, and as with any skill, this will change over time, esspecially with practice. Notably, this also looks like something dedicated to a loved one, so at that point intent matters more than artistic skill anyway.

At this point, I’m mostly just trying to figure out what my options are. Trying to search Mechanical Keyboards dot com just burries me in results with no meaningful way to filter them. PcPartPicker is slightly better, but lacks most of the dedicated keyboard brands. The only site I’d found that offered thorough filters was Memoey Express, although their selection was also very limited. The other comment suggesting Keeb-Finder was pretty much exactly what I was looking for (although a lot of the results aren’t available in Canada, but its still far better).

I use Boost. I tried a few others, and wanted to pick an open source option, but I never found one with UI I was satisfied with.

I think its partly because the Federation process takes time (which can throw off any more precise notifications between instances) but much more significantly because many of the most active Lemmy users really hate bots.

The disbling of lifesteal on Bristleback’s Bristleback feels like it destroys him as a hero. I have no idea how you’d make a viable core build for him now.

Generally, its because people don’t know its an option, or how to do so. Like, even knowing its a good idea, I have no idea where I’d start looking to buy one and I’m fairly informed around tech.

I’m a bit confused as to what you’re asking for? Just like, programming project ideas that benifit the Fediverse? Or specifically something related to promoting Lemmy on Mastrodon?

As I said in the post, I understand the technical side. Its the legal aspect I’m asking about. For example, yes, you can freely download a reuseable launcher from GOG, but as its only granting you a licence to the game, that licence can’t be transfered (without GOG’s permission), resold, ect. and if the licence is revoked, continuing to use the installer would be piracy. I’m asking what happens if any of these stores shut down legally. Would licences be revoked/invalidated, or how would that work?

You’re buying a licence either way. Its not like you can resell your GOG games or anything. If that licence is revoked or invalidated, continuing to play the games is piracy. They say you will have three days to backup your installer, but what happens to the licenses in that case? If they end when GOG or Steam go under, legally, it doesn’t matter what DRM is used.

Is least compared to where I spent my time on Reddit before the api was removed, I’ve actually found Lemmy far more hostile. On Reddit, I found discussion fairly light-hearted with even more divisive discussions generally given the benifit of the doubt. On Lemmy, on the other hand, I can make a relatively uncontroversial statement like, “Steam provides useful tools.” and be called a fanboy shill who supports fascists.

I’m currently using a model M clone (thats like 40 years old) but the lack of N-key rollover is killer for even simple games.

Ducky One 3 TKL RGB in white is $179 CAD, so even more expensive. That said, I guess its probably worth the extra money compared to the backlight-less version at least.

The reason it matters is because if you use faulty evidence (or in this case, questionable evidence) to try and sway someone, it just makes you look untrustworthy as Elon claims everyone who criticizes him is, and risks entrenching them against you. If you’re making statements with complete certainty, you need to have near-unassailable evidence.

The idea that we should just go “well, we already knew he was a nazi supporter, no need to comment when he does an apparent nazi salute on the inauguration of the president he bought” is pretty silly

The point isn’t to ignore it. The point is be honest to the truth, including any uncertainty. Jumping to conclusions or acting like you’re certain when you’re not only serves to weaken your position. If you’re trying to prove Elon is a Nazi, you should point to all the statements in support of Nazi ideology and his complete refusal to condem it even when relevant, rather than something that could just be regular stupidity.

The fact that he is openly a nazi-supporting white supremist is the only reason I say I’m not confident it was an accident.

But again, my whole second paragraph: Why does it matter if it was a roman salute or not? Why do we need to point to this specifically? We knew he was a Nazi before this and had clearer proof to point to then, and since then, he has not changed at all and continues to provide clearer proof. If doing a iffy, off-angle roman salute is what worries you and not the racism, sexism, homophobia, misinformation, lack of respect for human rights or justice, ect. then I think you’re misunderstanding why Nazis are bad.

Read my comment.

The bigger and more undeniable red flags are all throughout his past, and continued after the salute, such as his refusal to apologize.

Honestly, I’m not entirely convinced it was a Nazi salute. I think, given how stupid and akward he is, and the fact that the salute was so off-angle, it could have actually been an akward “my heart goes out to you” gesture.

That said, focusing on this possible red flag is stupid and honestly makes light of the situation, when looking at Elon Musk’s history and past statements is like standing in the Red Square on parade day. The bigger and more undeniable red flags are all throughout his past, and continued after the salute, such as his refusal to apologize. I guess its good that people are finally putting their foot down, but the appropriate time was a decade ago at least.

Lemmy is generally very downvote-happy compared to Reddit or other sites. I’d guess its be because of the cinical, pessimistic attitude of a lot of the people here. Unfortunately, its something you’ll have to get used to here. On the bright side, this applies to everyone, so you’re not being targetted or anything and the same anchor will apply to everyone.
