Unmarketable Plushie

Well, Prism is forked from PolyMC, which is forked from MultiMC. Prism lets you download directly from Curse and FTB, while MultiMC doesn’t.

Prism Launcher is easily the best third-party launcher, hands down. It’s really useful and intuitive, with instances (basically it lets you make seperate game installs for different modpacks or versions or whatever) and lets you easily install any mod, modloader, modpack, resourcepack, or shaderpack from all the major platforms (CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB, Technic, etc.)

Ah okie, no problem

Stormyfemme is talking about a certain phenomenon on r/AskReddit, where a lot of the questions asked survey (usually) women about their sex lives in a way that makes it obvious that OP gets their rocks off to the answers. So basically the implication is that you’re doing the same thing.

(I’m not saying I necessarily agree with Stormyfemme’s assessment of your motivations. I’m just giving context.)

I remember getting one from a fascist saying they wanted to “tie people like [me] up and drag their bodies from [their] truck”

I haven’t watched the TV series, but I’m a big enthusiast of the games.

I’d say start at the start, especially if you’re alright with more old-school games. The first two are (sometimes punishingly hard) isometric RPGs that I personally had a blast playing. Some of the later games have little references to them that you might miss, too.

Get Fallout 2 on GOG instead of Steam if you can, the version on Steam is the censored European version that removes all the child characters and quite a bit of content with them (since you had the option to kill them in the game’s open world environment, despite the game heavily penalising child murder).

If turn-based combat and 90s graphics really repulse you (totally fair, I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea), you could try playing the 3D games instead, which are essentially first-person RPGs with FPS elements. Fallout 3 is alright, the story isn’t that good, and the gunplay just feels a bit off, but the environments are really well-crafted and are fun to traverse.

If you have to play one Fallout game though, I would pick Fallout New Vegas. It’s mostly made by the guys who made the first two games, and they really really knocked the ball out of the park. It’s still got the slightly awkward gunplay of the third game, but everything else is really well done. The story especially is probably one of the best video game narratives I’ve experienced (putting it up there with those of Disco Elysium and Undertale).

I haven’t played Fallout 4, so I can’t really give you any recommendation there.

This isn’t even a Linux thing. You AI bros just fucking suck in general.

Odd. I run Fedora 39 as my daily driver (and Fedora 38 before that) with a 3060 ti and I’ve never had any problems with it on that scale.

To my knowledge, we’ll have to wait for proprietary drivers to support this, which will take a few months iirc

Seconding this. XWayland is literally unusable with my 3060 Ti, while I’ve been having very few problems with X11. Hopefully explicit sync support is added before Fedora 40 drops

We didn’t exactly stop the Nazis through polite conversation

If you’re on Android, I recommend Liftoff. Boost for Lemmy is also probably going to be pretty good when it releases, as the developer’s Reddit app was phenomenal.

Interesting concept! I can’t comment too much on the balance, but I still have come criticisms.

• Charisma doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for a saving throw proficiency. I would probably replace it with Intelligence.
• The weapon proficiencies are also a bit odd. The player starts with melee weapons, gets access to fighting styles that benefit their usage, but isn’t proficient in them? They should at least get proficiency with all simple weapons maybe a list like: “simple weapons, blowgun, hand crossbow, heavy crossbow, longbow” would be good.
• No abilities at second level? I guess that might be because that’s when the ranger gets spells and you removed that. It’s super disappointing to level up, especially after the first level-up of the game, and get literally no new abilities. Out of all the base classes in the game, only spellcasters get “dead levels” (levels without any features), and that’s because they get access to the next spell level on those levels (exception: the warlock’s level 18 is dead, but to be fair that’s after they can cast 9th level spells, plus they at least get a new Invocation). Maybe give them Action Surge or something?
• The whole class feels very loaded towards the subclasses doing things while the “chassis” of the class doesn’t do a whole lot. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not, but that definitely stuck out to me.
• I feel like it would make more sense for the Spellshot to be a ⅓-caster (like eldritch knight or arcane trickster instead of getting spells up to 7th level. That’s how other subclass casters do it. Subclass casters also usually get their own spell lists.
• Magic Arrows is super confusing, relies too much on randomness, and doesn’t scale well.
• I know I’m being mostly negative here, but I really love the concept behind the Jagged Arrow archer. It’s a very flavourful concept and I feel like we need more subclasses like that.

So back when search engines were in their infancy, webrings were kinda a big deal. Essentially, they were collections of topic-related websites that agreed to mutually link to each other so that people could find content related to the pages that they were visiting. They kinda died out after Yahoo bought webring.org (where most webrings were controlled) and replaced all the webring control pages hosted there with Yahoo pages, and by the time they let go of the domain contemporary search engines had mostly rendered webrings obselete.

However, there are definitely still webrings around. The official site of maia arson crimew (the hacktivist who made the news for leaking the no-fly list to select journalists) belongs to two webrings, for example. I can definitely see them making more of a comeback among computer enthusiasts if search engines enshittify themselves more.
