I want that 100% science based dragon MMO. It has been 12 years!

I’ve been recently playing the “so called” sequel to ftl, ftl multiverse. I have gotten the standard and old secret endings, but there are hints of a third even harder to find ending.

They will buy it, then shut it down. Then people will finally buy games at the … window games store?

Hu, I just watched an extra credits video on how $70, adjusted for inflation, is actually one of the lowest price points for games in decades

Musk: “So you are telling me it can drive cars…”

It’s not nice making fun of the mentally handicapped.

-Country: Elects socialist leader.

-America: Disrupts country to dispose leader.
-Success: Country no longer Socialist.
-Failure: Strongman comes to power to resist. Resists disruption, becomes dictator. Country no longer Socialist.

Probably the same way a hybrid gas-electric car is more fuel efficient. In a hybrid, the battery revs up and down with need while the engine just powers the battery at a steady clip. Since the engine can run constantly at a fix optimum speed, it is more fuel efficient.

Likewise, I figure, each server has a certain amount of bandwidth. If everyone is on one server, all the posts and comments come at random intervals with spikes and troughs. Either the bandwidth gets throttled, which causes lag, or all the comments go through at the same time, which uses a lot of bandwidth. With multiple servers, those posts get federated and (probably, I’m guessing at this point) wait for the federated server to signal that they are no longer busy, which flattens the bandwidth demand.

Musk tries to pull a “The producers” on Twitter, betting big that Twitter will go bankrupt and then it doesn’t. In fact the (short term) gains look so good that reddit tries copying it. Musk is like: “I have to ruin this before the entire tech industry copies me!”

All you have to do is switch to new or anything other than default, but yes, having default be 4d old content doesn’t look good.

During the last site-wide protest in 2015 I set up a VOAT account with all the similar subreddits that I had at the time. When people first started suggesting abandoning ship, I thought “Well, at least I still have Voat”. Checks Voat. Turned into a alt-rght haven and then shut down in 2020. Dho!

I swear I didn’t see “themes” last night. My eyes! I can see! Thank you!

One problem is there is no dark mode button in user settings. I’m sure there is something you can download and apply or something, just would like a little slider in settings before I go snowblind.
