A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? in c/[email protected]

I'm in the same block built boat as you. I always vehemently defend this game since finding out the general gaming public don't like it.

Same, as a kid i had no idea if the controversy to and was still waiting on a sequel for some time after. I thought it was a novel idea and it was my first proper foray into Norse mythology.

What's xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The worst part for teams is if you do contract work and need to be a part of multiple teams instances... It's a MASSIVE fucking pain. Microsoft's login processes are absolute infuriating and even more so if you have to log in to multiple different accounts that all somehow have the same email address but different tenants without letting you know which account version is for which tenant.

We had to use slack for our internal stuff so we could always be in contact with each other because you could only be signed into one teams instance at a time without jumping through crazy hoops.

I initially wanted us to move to teams but that hurdle stopped us. I'm kinda glad in hindsight.

I didn't refute that...

I imagine the tyranny was less felt in rural areas where a true sense of community still existed. And id correlate longer living wonders with living in those rural areas too. Wonder if that could be a reason?

We've yet to have true communism anywhere in my opinion. The road to communism opens up too many pathways to corruption and tyranny that so far have always been taken advantage of.

I think communism as a concept would be great but I just don't think true communism is possible, at least not long term anyway.

Maybe somewhere in more ancient times we had something close to it, but I'm currently unaware.

Usually if someone just says the 25th that means of the current month. The month only needs to be referred to if it's not the same as the current. (In conversation)

VSIX Install - Linux Bash script for downloading and installing Marketplace extensions (github.com)

I made this because I started using Codium but wanted to use an extension that didn't have an OpenVSX equivalent and found out MS removed the VSIX download buttons on the marketplace site.

This should also work for Code-OSS and the MS VS Code. You can also just use it to only download the VSIX files so you can keep them locally for future use or take them to another computer that does not have internet connection for whatever reason to install there.

It will also check for dependencies and download them if you don't already have them installed.

At the moment it only downloads the latest versions of an extension.

Sharing because I imagine I'm not the only one with this issue.

What would you recommend for a new player? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically anything goes.

What should a new player learn or do really on to get the most out of the game. I just started today. I've had brief moments with the game on the past when I was younger but never enough to say I actually know the game.

I'm raising money for Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by skating 100km through the month of August (www.justgiving.com)
 

I did a similar charity skate challenge last year with a goal of 50km with me finishing at 80km. This year my overtime goal is 150km if I get enough good weather to push myself beyond the 100km.

Millington's Magical Barn are a lovely vegan ran animal sanctuary that currently look after around 90 animals that were victims of neglect, abuse or were headed towards slaughter. At Millington's they wil be looked after for the lenght of their long natural life. They even look after a few disabled animals too.

Please donate if you believe in this cause, as well as motivating me to push myself further fitness wise!

What are people's favourite pre-WOW MMOs that are still worth playing today? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I long for the days of yore, but I never really got into MMOs until WOW and I've always been jealous heating the stories of people playing MMOs prior.

At some point in the future I'm going to be making an XP era PC build where I plan to play some older games from my childhood as well and any MMOs from that era that I missed out on

Also going to try and get properly into FFXI at some point too but I'm wanting to hear other suggestions too.

I've tried everquest but the way they center the character in the 3rd person view starts to mess with my motion sickness a bit feeling like I have to look at the ground a lot more than I'd normally prefer.

Question: In-app links to other instances and communities (sh.itjust.works)
 

Is there a way to have links to instances and communities in comments to actually open in jerboa rather than going to a browser?
