Trump's draft dodging was one of the only good things he did. You're telling me you'd prefer if he helped dump agent orange across Vietnam and flatten communities older than the US itself?
You know the US were the bad guys, right?
Unranked. It really could just be that because I seem to get less seal clubbings (in both directions) in ranked.
It's a shame the slots are so limited rn because I really struggle to make time to be online for ranked at all.
I don't really want a surrender mechanic either because yeah it's lame and a copout, but I also don't want to spend 40 minutes being shit on or being useless either?
I don't know if it's MMR or something but recently my games have been someone on my team getting massive farm and dozens of kills to the point where it's a seal clubbing which I have no impact on, or it's the reverse where even despite coordinating one player is just so heavily fed by 10 minutes there's no way to catch up.
Ranked isn't so bad because of the coordination but the slots are limited and awkward if you work full time.
This game has a snowballing issue.
NB: This was just a post of me venting about two shit games back to back where the same player absolutely rolled through even when half of our team was pre-warned, but I wanna note that in general this trend of "one player gets fat then rolls the other team despite their best efforts" is something I'm noticing on my own teams too.

What am I meant to do when by luck or some other factor a player gets what you think is a meagre lead (1-2k) then spirals into an absolute seal clubbing?
When there's not surrender mechanic you're held ransom to ensure the winning team extracts their "fun" from having you feed into them until they decide playing TDM is enough and play the objectives?
I've had close games, equal games, games where we lose but it's a well fought, but recent updates have stuffed the MMR (or maybe cheating and smurfing is just common now?)

Yeah I've considered the idea of coming to peace with how my brain works. Which does just mean that sometimes I'll play one game/do one hobby for a while then drop it, but maintaining a strict regimen for consuming said hobbies is as exhausting as recovering from hyper focus.
Yeah it's more feasible that I break the time-space continuum than actually consume my finite time responsibly.
Fascinating stuff. I'm glad we're entering this new era of Linux application compatibility! And all through the honorable work of developers who are doing stuff just for the fun of it.

Reddit ahh post. Genuinely what is the point of Lemmy dot world if every community is just scolding people about the fact you're glazing a genocide denier
Maybe a total boycott of Russian economy would've had some domestic response, but in reality the only people sanctioning the Russian economy are the US and EU, which in itself represents a fraction of the world population and its economic output. The vast majority of the world's countries continued trading with Russia as usual, if not encouraged trade as Russia offers more favourable deals that the US and EU are unwilling to counter.
If the EU/US bloc was genuinely interested in anything other than a forever war to boost their military industrial complexes, they'd have put some of their economic power on the line to support global adoption of sanctions, but instead it is backfiring as BRICS slowly (but very surely) becomes a truly independent economic order of its own creation.
Deadlock! At least until I inevitably remind myself that multiplayer games are all bullshit and go back to enjoying SP games again.
I don't think speed is an issue. They're larger but all software loads dependencies from disk, flatpaks just have them bundled into a different location.
Snap did have some loading time issues but in terms of performance, I don't think there was much measurable difference.

yup. these so called "open" projects are being kneecapped in the name of American empire and Linus is celebrating it.
it isn't like Americans would do that, right?
he's just an American nationalist at heart. his dad was a member of the Russian communist party and his biography seemed to make clear that rebelled from that.
socially he's not terrible but when the war drums come beating he's stepping in line for the stars and stripes

"sub" meshes vs one monolithic mesh - Which technique should I use?
So I've done 3D modelling in 3DS Max and I'm currently learning blender, and I'm beginning to look at creating more detailed models and learning about stuff such as managing topology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEj1uHSu1Bw
I've noticed in videos such as this, instead of merging the meshes together and managing the topology of each detail/element, the modeller just creates a new mesh. Is this right? Or is there some benefit to combining these details into one "monolithic" mesh and then fixing any topology issues.
Is there much performance or other downside to creating multiple separate meshes like in the video? Am I overthinking this?
64-core RISCV CPU and RX5500XT GPU running Witcher 3 at 15fps
At very low, choppy FPS for now— but that it can run at all without x86 bodes quite well for the future of RISC-V devices
Incredibly impressive for a platform that hasn't even hit Debian stable yet.
This is using box64, an ARM/RISCV translation layer for x86 apps on Linux, not unlike "Rosetta" on MacOS.
