It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

That was one of the craziest reads.

I’m kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don’t plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.

There might be a “fixed height” setting in the display settings.

Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.

Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.

Missing the spike at the end for white when I blunder back rank check mate.

I’m on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There’s this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.

Compared to Stardew Valley, it’s much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it’s pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It’s also much heavier on skill progression. You’ll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).

Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).

Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it’s kind of a lot to manage. It’s just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I’d rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I’m gone doing other stuff.

If it matters they’re all skins that don’t really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you’re opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren’t predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren’t paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

You’re gonna need to raise the stakes a bit faster I think

You wouldn’t dare

I’m kinda surprised the article doesn’t mention IONNA. I mean there’s not a lot of meat there, but 7 major auto makers are planning a pretty significant increase to these stations (30k, and they’re already starting in 2024). They’re supposed to be pretty nice, with access to food, restrooms, etc. similar to a normal gas station.

I’m smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt in the US, where EVs are evil, but I rented an Ioniq 5 to test it out. Charging stations were by far the most anxiety-inducing part of the experience.

Slang that went something like “god damn!” -> “gyat damn!” -> “gyat!”

Generally said when you see a big booty.

You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

• Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

• Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.

I’ve only read Cradle, the other stuff is as good? What should be next?

A fellow man of culture I see

Fellas, look up poses for your girl. Get the homies to help.

I know PII is protected, and a company like Riot is audited. I’m sure something in their TOS says they can collect the information, as BS or unenforceable as it is.

They’re probably multi-cloud, but I know they are a huge AWS customer because they have a giant booth at re:Invent every year. AWS has pretty easy ways to encrypt data and even detect if it has PII. They’d encrypt or redact the images because the potential of capturing HIPAA or PCI information is too great a risk.

If anything, trust that the company is profit driven and will avoid that risk. They’re still garbage and kernel level anti-cheat sucks, but we shouldn’t be spouting that unencrypted stuff as fact.
