NATO military shit posting forum. If you are a firm believer that McArthur should have used the nukes in Korea or that Pakistan will conquer the world with the 3000 black jets of Allah, welcome home

A Fallout game in Mexico would be a hype spin-off game similar to New Vegas. We know from existing lore that Mexico had heavy US investment to the point that China felt the need to nuke it. Because of its close ties to the US in lore, much of the 50s Americana aesthetic can still be used with some Mexican flavor mixed in, while the cultural differences between the US and Mexico would allow the tone and story to be a great departure from existing Fallout titles

76's focus on rebuilding is honestly one of its stronger aspects. The whole lore with >!the Responders, Free States, and Appalachian BoS working together and rebuilding the region for the 3 decades after the bombs dropped to their desperate last stand against the scorched plague, the Secret Service working post war to establish a new, more stable currency post war than bottle caps, and the surviving Responders working with the survivors of the Enclave at the Whitesprings to bring order to Appalachia and The Pitt!< really makes Appalachia feel like a region trying to pull itself together versus the largest settlement in 4 being a bunch of dirty scrap metal shacks in an abandoned baseball stadium over 200 years after the bombs dropped

I am extremely rough with my headphones to the point that I'd always break the cable on wired headsets in a few months. Yeah, wireless isn't on par with wired headphones in every single way yet, but once I switched to Bluetooth, I was able to keep using my headphones for years at a time before the battery would give out. Add in that I can wander around freely with my headphones, and yeah, the latency is a pretty good tradeoff for my situation

Food production is one of the very few things the US government has been handling well. We give out tens of billions in subsidies to farmers every year to artificially inflate the food supply and have a nationwide SNAP program to help low income families afford food. As a result, we produce far more food than we actually need and far more than we would in a free market, allowing the US to be a major exporter of food globally and ensuring we have enough redundancy built into our food supply that the US will be the last country to starve in a famine

That's a problem especially with lemmy.world . They took the brunt of the Reddit migration and had to massively adjust their servers to accommodate the influx of users and communities. Other instances have been more stable

You start out as a medieval bum, and you are as good at life as a medieval bum would be. Even if you are a god at the combat system, you ain't winning fights against tough opponents until your character gets skilled. You start out illiterate as well, and have to learn to read, just like a medieval bum

The software 2B2T and other major servers run is typically custom made. The reason servers like 2B2T need a player queue is because the official Minecraft server software is garbage and runs everything on a single CPU thread, placing a firm upper limit on how much stuff can run on a server. Server networks like Hypixel shuffle players through lobbies and mini games on various different servers to spread the load, but since 2B2T is a single world, they have to run a custom, highly optimized server file to be able to handle their player numbers. If Mojang would invest in developing more scalable server software, player queues would be a thing of the past without having to ban them, but Mojang would rather harass server owners for having to accommodate Mojang's poor product than actually fix the underlying issue

It's Starbucks so yeah. They're pretty paranoid about unions after a few locations unionized

Yep, it's literally just another Reddit. The main benefit is that it's decentralized so it's not under the control of a single corporation, but yeah, it's mainly ex redditors on a service designed to be an alternative to Reddit

I've been enjoying Lemmy.blahaj.zone, though it's more niche given that it's an instance for trans people

If they are wearing glasses, God made them nearsighted, so why are they trying to undo what God did? "But nearsightedness is a medical condition" yeah and so is dysphoria
