Man stelle sich vor, Deutschland würde das versuchen. Es gräuelt mir bei dem Gedanken :s

Imagine if Germany tried to do this. So much crucial infrastructure would simply collapse. Bureaucracy everywhere in Germany is based on and hinges on technologies from the past millennium: floppy disks, FAX etc. Jesus

Good point, very true

I know that they usually don’t do anything, but they’re still scary as fuck. Something their form and equipment not having changed for the last million years or so is just very intimidating

Let’s hope it holds up against the AFD

Dude, this is Shepard for me. I didn’t even think about playing as a male Shepard mainly because he looks like a giant douche. Like, the standard white guy. No front to anyone enjoying a male Shepard, but not really for me. Her performance is stellar indeed, though

I am vegan (pull out the pitchforks) and am pretty vocal about it on here and used to be on the other website. I wouldn’t say I’m an activist per se, but every comment and post I make about the subject whenever it’s brought up makes me feel like I’m making a difference. If the comment resonates with someone reading and leads to fewer animals and animal-derived products being consumed, I’m happy. So yea, for sure.

Same goes for the two communities I created and mod (c/sekiro and c/bloodborne if anyone’s curious). A bot has recently helped me fill the communities with content since engagement isn’t super high from community members themselves. Before the bot, I tried to make daily posts in both communities, thinking it’s content that I enjoy so others would likely too. Since they’re still quite niche and don’t have a massive following, I think it’s definitely a good start for people interested in the games

Cool post btw. I think it’s easy to lose oneself in the daily monotomy that is life and work and stuff, so reminding oneself that participating in communities such as Lemmy is making a difference in one shape or form

I think they a word

Thanks for the insight. I tried my hands at Kubuntu on an old laptop of mine and didn’t mind the few differences too much. From what I’ve heard on Lemmy, Mint seems to be a good all-around suggestion for new Linux users, though

Guys, I’ll switch in a heartbeat to a Linux OS if any one you can recommend a stable OS that works on a Surface Go 2. It should support its touchscreen, of course, and a Surface Pen. Plus, a FOSS alternative to Journal would be stellar

It’s about time. A couple years ago, it was such a hassle to buy the PS4 version on PS5. I think I had to buy it in a web browser separate from console to make it work or something

Yea, we’re fucked

That first name was new to me. Cheers

I’m not sure if this is stretching it, but this comment thread is just so awesome. It’s like one of those moments on reddit that would be referenced for years to come

Enshittification, the rise of micro transactions in mobile games over actual in-game mechanics that make the game interesting etc

Do you know off the top if it’s intact if I “fully wiped” it during the installation of a different OS?

The console versions of Skyrim, minus Switch, have mod support. They are limited in scope because they don’t allow for external resources to be used for the mods - maybe Xbox does, I don’t know - but they still offer a bunch of QoL improvements, visual upgrades, quests, weapons, spells etc. Some well-known mods like the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch exist on console and some well-known mod authors like Elianora or Juliha also publish their mods on console. It’s pretty great actually. They can make your game look and feel really good.

The mods I was referring to that were removed are Mysticism and Adamant by SimonMagus616 (at least their Reddit handle) that completely overhaul spells and perks in Skyrim. I understand their decision to remove them, but my playthrough feels a little less cool now as a result.

I recently had to find out that a mod author of a couple mods I was happily using on my PS5 copy of Skyrim removed their mods entirely because of another batch of greedy monetisation efforts from Bethesda, trying to monetise mods even further. Just fuck those guys man

Wow, those unsolicited emails are icky
