Someone paid attention in history class and has been drawing parallels.

I'm telling!

How was Magnolia? I loved Lillies.

Drop Duchy - Roguelike Tetris/card/city builder. 13 hours in and it's solid./L Description from the Steam page does a good job of explaining an unconventional roguelike.

Drop Duchy - Build your duchy piece by piece in this refreshing hybrid rogue-lite game. Use block-dropping mechanics to collect resources, recruit troops to fight against belligerent armies, and let every block shape your realm, leading your path to victory!

Webbed - This deceptively simple metroidvania is based around using spiderwebs as the main mechanic for puzzle solving. You have two web modes: swinging or pulling yourself to a surface or creating persistent webs. The webs stay when you leave the current screen/room so when you spend time making yourself a ramp to get somewhere you don't need to redo it again when you return to an area.

I also thought it was a cool touch that they made it accurate to nature in that the male spider is a riot of color and the female is grey/browns. I think they're based on peacock spiders and the protagonist is the female.

I loved the Ori games and No Rest for the Wicked was shaping up to be a great game. Hoping my refund request to Steam wallet goes through; 67 hours played. I included in my refund request that I want to take that money and use it to support a studio that isn't run by an asshole (but worded gooder).

Well that sucks. I was really liking this game but I'm not supporting trash people with my money. Sucks for the developers working there. Refund requested and review with reasoning posted.

I was unaware that Thomas Mahler was such a goon, bad boss, and puts out misleading press to bolster sales. I have requested a refund and will not be supporting anything he is involved in going forward.

403 / 778 = 0.51799...

51% increase from the previous year.

The reckoning is coming. If Britain can face it head-on, surely we can too. Better to shape the future on our own terms than to be overwhelmed by its arrival.

What does this even mean

Translation: I'm an anti-immigrant bigoted racist.

2.65 gallon: moon jellyfish

3 gallon: shrimps and snails

20 gallon: tetras, corys, upside down catfish, siamese algae eater (eventually going to other tank), yoyo loach (also bound for other tank if it outgrows the 20), plecos, just had a mystery snail clutch hatch successfully, shrimp

75 gallon: dojo loaches, angelfish, plecos, a panda cory, pictus catfish, synodontis that thinks he's an upside down catfish, peacock eel, mystery/narite/rabbit snails...loaches ate all the shrimp in Phishadelphia (where it's always sunny).

21 gallon salt water: clownfish, firefish, diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, lettuce sea slugs, rockflower and bta nems, peppermint shrimp, turbo/snails galore, tiger conch, assorted corals. These are all bound for the 120 reef tank we're designing.

I can now as well. My connection's been wonky all morning.

  • Technotronic’s other hits include “Get Up! (Before The Night is Over)” and “This Beat is Technotronic”.
  • “Pump Up The Jam” has a BPM of 125, the same as the heartbeat of a cat at rest.
  • This song is the National Anthem of Canada.
  • The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

Then I think the other person and I both misunderstood. It looked like you were defending Israel's use of human shields.

I still won't justify using a human shield.

Synthaxe (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I made the leap and ditched Windows and made the switch. I'm not married to Pop! OS, it just happened to be the first distro I tried and has been mostly a breeze setting up and getting used to but I do have a couple issues I wasn't able to resolve this weekend. Hoping someone else has seen similar.

  • Cannot add library in Steam: this is likely due to me misconfiguring the drive, mount, or fstab. When I try to add a drive in Steam it allows me to browse the drive and select a folder but then nothing is actually added to Steam. The drive was newly formatted with 2 partitions, both ext4. Unfortunately I am at work and cannot get blkid, df, fdisk, fstab, etc. but my hope was someone had found a better guide than the ones I have tried thus far.

  • Helldivers 2 audio issue: crackling and audio cutting out.; from what I've read it sounds like a throughput issue with the sound server (POP OS default is pulse audio). I came across a couple guides for troubleshooting audio issues with HD2 in Linux that sought to address this with pulse audio and others for pipewire but none of those ended up being helpful. Again, the hope is someone here has had a similar experience and can share what helped them or get me pointed in a good direction for troubleshooting.

I was going to buy a clown loach but the local store's delivery was delayed.

Edit to add: I forgot that I bought some bib coveralls on my way home.

Harvester inconsistency? (self.helldivers2)
 

Has anyone else had issue with nigh invincible harvesters marauding through all manner of bombardment? Shield down, I've seen them take every orbital and eagle without being destroyed. Not all at once, mind, but I have seen them take more than a factory strider and walk it off without even losing a shield antennae.

I've bullseyed one with a RR rocket and a full commando and they kept coming.

Any tips? I know the legs are a weakpoint but I don't seem to be hitting the right places. Laser cannon is the only reliable weapon I've found but requires multiple cooldown periods to fully cook one which is just too much time.

Recently planted this aquarium with stems and mosses. This long thin green moss-like plant showed up and I like the look of it. Hoping ot is something I can cultivate and use for a hanging vine effect on my driftwood and not a pest plant. Any help is appreciated.
