Mark Meer Wants More People To Play As FemShep In Mass Effect
  • I always tend to think in rpgs what gender seems to fit the kind of a playthrough I'm going for. For some reason if I do something like wood elf ranger it would def be a female. Bulky warrior with a 2h axe? Guy. 1h shield paladin who smites the unjust? Guy. Someone with keen knowledge of the arcane that freezes everything? Female. Cloak and dagger assassin? Female. Pyromancer? Guy. Witch? Female.

    Sometimes I mix things up, like the paladin one. And sure, I also take personality into account which can switch it up.

    Haven't played mass effect so no idea about rhe "classes" in it.

  • The climate case for mock meats is clear. But who can afford them?
  • Don't know about the states, but in Finland the Burger King doesn't use impossible patties but instead patties from the vegetarian butcher.

    Though I guess if the product is called "impossible whopper" then it probably should be done with impossible patties.

  • Flip Elon the Bird: How to Turn the X App Icon Back Into Twitter's Old Logo
  • I guess it is more following of people of certain topics that talk about them in twitter. Like someone follows few people abour their hobby, some politicians maybe, and people of other interests they have. I haven't really gotten the idea that people use it to talk to friends per say, or follow them, but for sure people do that as well but maybe it is not the main point.

    Though I could be spewing shit because I don't use it. Just the vibe I've been getting over the years.

  • That word, Open, it doesn't mean what they think it means
  • Lmao yeah when they realised how much money they can do it they suddenly "understand" the "risk" it "poses" if it is freely available. Uh huh. Sure bud lemme have some of what you're having. Smokes capitalism yeah that's some good shit.

  • Ubisoft insists yet again that its uncanny AI-generated 'NEO-NPCs' will make games 'more alive and richer', whatever that means
  • I don't get it. Actually well working AI NPCs sound fucking amazing. To have an actual conversation about anything in the game by typing your questions? That's like the wet dream of an RPG.

    Have writers write the background info, some lore stuff, "books" about stuff in the game etc.

    I want to have a conversation with all the NPCs and choose from four premade questions about a quest I am on.

    And yes, obviously they have to work well or they're extremely awkward and anti-immersive.

  • Anyone think that manual "pouring techniques" are mostly fluff?

    If you search YouTube for V60 brewing videos and guides you'll find about three billion different ones. Some with agitation, some without; pouring fast, in the middle, making circles; 40-60 or 30-70 or whatnot.

    I always think to myself that they're mostly just fluff.

    It all depends on grind size and temperature. Doesn't matter how you pour (well, within limits I would think) as long as you get your temps and grind right for the pouring technique you've chosen.

    Admittedly, I haven't tried a ton of different ones, maybe three or four. But this is the feeling what I've got.

    Maybe there are some edge cases, like Ethiopian coffees being more prone to clogging the filter so less agitation might be a good idea.

    Can you block an entire instance from Thunder?

    Pretty much the title. I could not find an option to do it, nor did I find comments or commits about it.

    BTRFS and moving /home to subvolume, in need of a sanity check.

    So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I'm not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check.

    Lots of comments online seem to use something like this method:

    cd / mv /home /home_old btrfs subvolume create home cp -a --reflink=always /home_old/* /home/

    But this would NOT create a flat subvolume structure, right? And you woul NOT need to modify fstab as the /home would be automatically mounted because it resides under rootfs actually because / is rootfs and not its parent?

    If I want to actually have a flat structure, then I would first need to mount the actual parent subvolume (subvolumeid=5), cd into it, then create the home subvolume, copy everything from the current home directory into there, unmount, modify fstab to mount home, and delete the old stuff and reboot I guess.

    Soo something like this:

    mkdir /mnt/tmp Make a folder for mount mount -o subvolid=5 /dev/sdXX /mnt/tmp/ Mount the actual parent subvolume cd /mnt/tmp/ Here 'ls -a' would output 'rootfs' if I understood correctly btrfs subvolume create home Create new subvolume, now being sibling of 'rootfs' cp -a --reflink=always /home/* /mnt/tmp/home/ Copy old /home umount /mnt/tmp/ Don't need it anymore

    Then go to fstab, and do something like

    ... UUID= / btrfs subvol=rootfs bunch_of_options_and_stuff ... -> change into ... UUID= / btrfs subvol=rootfs bunch_of_options_and_stuff UUID= /home btrfs subvol=home bunch_of_options_and_stuff ... Then just rm -rf /home/* (or just move to keep it as backup if something is fucked up) and reboot?

    Does this sound about right?

    Edit:

    Everything went smoothly. Well just don't fuck up fstab like I did. Decided not to make /var into a subvolume because not sure if you can do it the same way, thinking that logs etc are being written all the time so the gap between me copying everything to the subvolume, and eventually booting might make weird things but dunno. Also added compress=zstd into fstab mount options to reduce writes on the ssd.

    permanent "not read" number if reply delete

    I got an answer to a post I made and the person who made it deleted the post. Now there I a permanent "1" on the messages button as if I still have a reply that I have not ticked as "seen". But I can't do it because the button does not exist, assuming this is due to the post being deleted.

    Anything I can do to fix this? It is kinda annoying.

    blocking or filtering communities?

    Is there a way to filter or block communities? Can't browse by new at all because kbin's "random" is filled with spam bots and I'd rather not block entire kbin due to it.

    Wilfa Uniform users?

    Wondering if there are Wilfa Uniform users here and how they are brewing? I've been using the Uniform at 28 for Hario Switch (using default 4min steep recipe) and the same setting for doing drip with Moccamaster. Seems to be working alright.

    Though I just bought this ethiopian coffee that has this fantastic white wine taste to it in the coffee shop (brewed with V60) and when trying it out in the Switch I just got nothing like that. It was still good, but the taste notes were all gone.

    Now I am considering going back to V60. I haven't done V60s it in almost of year because I got annoyed by the fact that I never got the same taste as they did in my local coffee shop. Maybe it is time to have another go.

    Can't find Kbin community?

    Not entirely sure yet how Lemmy works, but I can't find functionalprint in Kbin through Sopuli. Like this works fine: https://sopuli.xyz/c/RedditMigration@kbin.social but this: https://sopuli.xyz/c/functionalprint@kbin.social does not, even though https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint exists. Anyone know why this is?
