What is your favorite video game from the 90s?
  • SteelBeard SteelBeard Now 100%

    There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.

    Picking just one single game... I guess I'll go with Fallout 2

    I can stomach a meal or two without meat, but you're going to have to shoot me before I'll eat that disgusting fake cheese.

    I was all ready to call bullshit. Don't need to slow the game down even further!

    But this is a pretty reasonable solution that may actually speed up play and take some referee variance out of high pressure situations.

  • Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts. Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    That might make you more efficient at the process, but anyone can derive value from even basic implementation of critical thought.

    Why YSK: A well cultivated critical thinker: raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.

    How the beehaw defederation affects us
  • SteelBeard SteelBeard Now 50%

    I think I understand the point you're making. My immediate reaction is.. get a haircut? I suppose it's not that easy for a lot of people though, and I get wanting a place you don't have to deal with the stress.

    Why try to create a closed off environment on an open forum though? If that's the goal, why not build the community on a closed forum? There are also tools at an individual level like down voting, blocking users, and blocking communities.

    Cutting off a huge segment of the fediverse seems like a bad move this early in it's growth.

    Just to be clear on my perspective. Anyone going to any community just to fuck with them is a low being who should evaluate their life and choices. I'm concerned about the health of the fediverse, I don't support the trolls.

    I liked the breakdown and that video specifically because he goes over what he saw of the HUD. Hard to say on turning speed with the amount of video we have for now, but I think it might be tied to legs

    Marine boot camp, infantry school, and Ramadi all felt pretty unsafe. My latchkey childhood roaming the streets of Las Vegas felt pretty unsafe.

    Much more interested in the free exchange of ideas, that's why im hanging out in an open forum discussing random shit with strangers to get perspective different than my own.

    What makes me feel unsafe is the thought that not walking on eggshells softly enough might hurt some petty tyrants feelings and they'll use their small sliver of influence to cut me off. We should be able to talk freely with each other.

    For example, I'm really enjoying this discussion right now.

    As long as there are a shiton of mech parts and enough data to get real nerdy and crunchy with design, I'm happy as long as the gameplay loop is good

    If you like campy humor mixed with your grimdark Dungeon Crawler Carl is one of the best things ever.

    Could try some Warhammer 40k. Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett is a good series
