Wow, a Lain meme was not something I was expecting.

I should watch that show again sometime, I still have the DVDs somewhere I think.

But that’s exactly what they just said isn’t UBI, with UBI you’d get to keep the money while working if you wanted to. “Universal” means everyone gets it, not just people who “claim to be uncomfortable working”.

A Linux container can only run on a Linux kernel (and likewise for Windows and Mac). But there are plenty of tools to more-or-less transparently solve that particular problem by e.g. running a virtual machine in the background to host a shared Linux installation that hosts the containers (and then mapping ports and stuff for you).

I mean, the linked Wikipedia article literally describes for many of them who coined the terms and, in some cases, why. “The Greatest Generation” is the title of a contemporary book about the people who fought in World War 2 (and their cohort), and the name became popular as a way to describe people of that cohort.

Here’s a weird one I had a half-baked idea for: Tower Defense Metroidvania. The idea is that your an acolyte of a temple (or a mechanic in a space station, whatever), and there’s an armed group trying to force their way past the temple’s traps and defenses to get to the heart of the temple and steal the macguffin; that’s going on in a little horizontal track at the top of the screen, and meanwhile the rest of the screen is Metroidvania gameplay as you navigate the interior of the temple (or space station) to activate defenses, acquire magical relics, and eventually awaken the temple’s guardian spirit. You lose if the bad guys get to the heart of the temple, you win when you successfully gather everything you need to awaken the guardian. In the meantime, you have to decide when and where to spend resources (including time) shoring up the “normal” defenses (that delay the attackers) and when you need to just push onward to awaken the guardian.

I don’t think I could possibly pick just one.

• Playing Civilzation: Call to Power, together was one of the first shared activities I ever did with the woman who is now my wife.
• When I was in middle school, my dad made me a text-based game (mildly Roguelike, even, if I recall correctly) set at school centered around going to classes and solving puzzles/collecting school supplies.
• Years ago, I made a game myself for my then-girlfriend to play that secretly just an elaborate proposal wrapped in a video game.

Honorable mentions would go to Xenogears, Metroid 2, Ur-Quran Masters, and obscurities like Rollin’, Tranquility, and Omega, which collectively ended up defining my taste in games, more or less.

That’s not quite right though, there’s the factor you know (password to your vault), and the factor you have (a copy of the encrypted vault).

Admittedly, I don’t use that feature either, but, it’s not as bad as it seems at first glance.

Or you could just… disable the eshop on a regular, unmodded switch through parental controls? I mean, nothing against modding but you hardly need a modded switch to block “pushy” sales and subscriptions.

I thought it was really good! It’s got some great QoL improvements that I wish they had backported to the base game, honestly. Also, it addresses some flaws in the end of the base game, making it a clearer what was supposed to have happened (while still leaving some stuff open, it is a Xeno game after all).

Also, I won’t spoil anything but if you’re a long-time fan of the series there’s a lot to like.

I finally finished Xenoblade 3 and Future Connected, so now I’ve finally started Tears of the Kingdom.

Yeah, that’s actually genuinely funny. The rest of it is fucked.

You don’t need to be logged in to view the mod log, you literally just go to https://lemmy.world/modlog in a browser.

Assuming your username on lemmy.world was the same as the one you’re using here, you received the ban for being a “disrespectful troll”: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=466656

(Edit: apparently it was originally a 29 day ban, but the admin removed it and re-entered it as a 2 day ban; unclear if that’s because they changed their mind, or because the 29 was a typo from the start)

It’s a tough problem, sorta damned if you do, damned if you don’t. In my view (as a long-time resident but not a Hawai’i native), having some number of tourists in the coming months is probably necessary, but people obviously shouldn’t be going anywhere near Lahaina right now.

Finishing off Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s post-game content before moving on to Future Redeemed. I’ve enjoyed the heck out of it, though I am basically ready to be done, so… that lined up pretty nicely, actually.

Such a good fucking show

Man I adore this game. Make sure to check out the Road to Gehenna DLC afterwards

Much easier, in fact; Eliza could pass the Turing test in 1966. Humans are incredibly eager to assess other things as being human or human-like.

Absolutely, it’d be a stupid and irresponsible thing to do, but, people do stupid and irresponsible stuff all the time. Sometimes you can imagine yourself making such a mistake, or at least, understand the mental process that led to it.

In this case, though, it’s a bit beyond that.

He bought the domain back later, actually.

Yeah, I feel like people commenting didn’t read the article, there kids as young as 5 years old just… left by the side of the road.

If you imagine this being done to high schoolers, it’d be easier to condone (although even then the fact that he ditched everyone on the entire bus is a bit insane). But just, leaving a 5-year old by the side of the road?
