What media has your favorite worldbuilding?
  • Dune is incredibly unique. Scifi without computers and genetic magic. All politics. The books are outstanding.

    Caves of Qud was my first contact with post post-apocalypse. Can't even begin to convey how strange and magical everything feels in that universe.

  • Am i demanding too much from my boyfriend?
  • Seems pretty clear to me that he doesn't have the courage to break up with you. I see that you're hurting. If you look at it through this lens, his behaviour will start to make sense to you.

  • Very bad, very gross

    Halls of Torment is Diablo cranked up to 50,000 kills/hour
  • I agree that there's nothing wrong with remixes. Vampire Survivors dude invented a new genre and all, people who say these games are "copying" Vampire Survivors probably also say that every FPS is copying Maze War lol

    Death Must Die was indeed fun. Soulstone Survivor is pretty good too.

  • Halls of Torment is Diablo cranked up to 50,000 kills/hour
  • l don't understand people who think there's any meaningful comparison between Diablo and HoT.

    HoT is a vampire-survivors game, and in my opinion is the actual best in the genre, I have dozens of hours in it. This type of gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with ARPGs.

  • Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don't even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.

    You didn't respond to my question though, so I'll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?

  • broken images

    Hello,

    Using the default web UI, sometimes post images don't load, both for local and federated posts.

    One example: https://lemmy.world/post/20205083

    Looking at the console, the requests to both the thumbnail and the main image fail with a 500: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/45cab39c-d212-4581-bb8f-f9276e631531.gif?format=webp&thumbnail=256 https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/45cab39c-d212-4581-bb8f-f9276e631531.gif?format=webp

    The response body for both contains: {"code":"panic","msg":"Panic in blocking operation"}

    Removing both parameters, format and thumbnail, returns the correct media.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • I'm on the same page as you, it's tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.

  • What privacy approaches would you consider appropriate for everyday people?
  • Big change for me was stop using "name.lastname@email.com", I was giving that info to so many random ass websites and app and services. Just create another email and connect that with your "main" one, that's trivial to do with gmail.

    Search for your name on images and see if anything comes up. If yes, try to clean that up. It's usually profile pictures in services.

    Don't leave your strava profile public. It's crazy to me that people do that. I don't want even my friends knowing where and when I exercised.

    On the same topic, make sure your facebook photos and connections aren't visible to non-friends. It's insane the amount of people who just put everything out there for anyone to see.

  • You should never forget Unit 731
  • Both the Soviet Union and United States gathered data from the Unit after the fall of Japan. While twelve Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, they were sentenced lightly to the Siberian labor camp from two to 25 years, in exchange for the information they held.[10] Those captured by the US military were secretly given immunity,[11] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The US had co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own warfare program (resembling Operation Paperclip), as did the Soviet Union in building their bioweapons facility in Sverdlovsk using documentation captured from the Unit in Manchuria.[12][10][13]

    lol

  • 12 September 1987
  • I use firefox, I also tried on brave and have the same issue, signed in or not.

    I just investigated a little bit, and lemmy.world's requests to the images returns 500 (with a 404 inside):
    https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b8ed3feb-e396-4c22-b6f7-a170ed871fc1.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256

    However it seems to be an issue with the "format" and "thumbnail" parameters, as just the image link works:

    🤷‍♂️
