Last time I played DRG, it truly had one of the least toxic and most friendly gaming communities I know.
Maybe I should jump back in again. Got 1000 hours in it (never had so many in any game before), but stopped playing for stupid reasons and moved on to other things afterward.

New Hobby unlocked: Skyfishing

It is really baffling how Israel is commiting war crime after war crime, inflicting destruction, death, and suffering on a systematic scale, and we’re implicitly applauding them for that. And also actively supporting that with such weapon deals. WTF?!
This has long turned from mere targeted defensive operations into an unjustified invasion. Netanjahu is wanted for war crimes by the international court of justice. A court that we Germans supposedly respect and adhere to. But the actions our shitty government is taking speak a different language and one must be a special kind of highly brain washed to not see that.
I wouldn’t go as far as to equate this to Nazis, but one does start to wonder whether we have traded in one kind of racism for the other. I do not have many more explanations otherwise. Fear of diplomatic issues with Trumpistan? I do no longer understand the motive here.

Yupp. Und dann wird die Serie abgesetzt, weil wenn nicht mindestens ganz viele die Serie direkt innerhalb der ersten Wochen schauen gilt das gerne Mal als verschissenes Projekt. Dass die sich damit selbst ans Bein pinkeln, scheint denen auch nicht bewusst zu sein.

Selbst bei Serien, die abgeschlossen sind, lasse ich mir zB. auch gerne mal Zeit, um das richtig zu genießen und voll aufnehmen zu können, wenn mich die Serie packt. Kommt oft vor, dass ich dazu nicht die richtige Verfassung habe, sei es wegen Zeit, Stimmung, Ruhe, Erschöpfung oder sonst was.

I have been dreaming of a TLoZ movie since I was a child. However, as most video game adaptions, I expect this will be rather shitty. At least I try to. To keep the level of disappointment low.

Now you are going to start a nerdy discussion whether Link really can’t talk, doesn’t want or like to talk or does indeed talk, even though not directly shown usually in the games.

There is plenty of reason to assume that he actually can talk fine, it was just omitted for convenience or immersion in the games. It was implied often by the dialogues thoughout various games.

Official mangas show him talking, dialogue options, or that e.g. Zelda learns Links name when asking him in OoT imply this as well.

What always triggers feelings of cosmic horror is the question: “Whom is this reported to?”

Why can’t we just have it help a little and still use our own skills?

Because uhm… profits and reduce value of human labor.

That’s okay. We’re not on reddit and just have a lighthearted chat without corporate interests in it.

Sounds like a usefull skill for the next all you can eat buffet.

Thank you!

Veritasium made a video talking about IQ tests, their validity and so on. https://youtu.be/FkKPsLxgpuY

One of my key takeaways: IQ tests have some validity as a diagnostic tool for asessing cognitive disabilities or illnesses, but they should not be taken as serious and significant as many less informed people seem to do.

If even bears go for plant based diets now, maybe it’s time to follow.

Yes and no. The article explains how similar patterns emerged in the last 55 thousand years: colder, low productive eras -> more meat. Warmer and greener -> more plants.

I suppose GitHub Copilot is meant, which is a different thing.
