Just as long as they remember it's satire, and the Imperium are not good guys (and nor is anyone else). Maybe they can remind Games Workshop of that too

How about Matt Ward? he's not at all a controversial figure :D

But seriously I know the guy, he was a couple of years above me at uni and his wife was the year below me, and he's a actually a very nice chap

"I'll Come Back": Ninth Doctor Actor Reveals Brutal Conditions For Doctor Who Return (screenrant.com)

Ninth Doctor actor Christopher Eccleston reveals his brutal conditions for returning to Doctor Who. Eccleston was the first actor to portray the Doctor in its modern era following its revival in 2005. While he successfully brought the iconic Time Lord back to the screen, he abruptly departed the show after just one season,...

He did get one of my favourite lines - "Lots of planets have a north!"

Steam made buying games and making them run on Linux so easy I no longer pirate games. So yes I probably would

Oh man, go back and watch the rest of it some day. It's excellent

Search for creative commons or public domain artwork - Wikimedia Commons is a good start, or a google image search (under the image search bar select tools -> usage rights -> creative commons rights)

Or don't worry about the copyright issues of AI and learn to use that to create things you want - I suggest SDXL is the best option

Another option is to shop it around agents and publishers and make the illustrations someone else's problem!

Who's the guy in the last panel meant to be? Neil Gaiman?

I really dislike "per day" resource management, it really limits the way in which stories are constructed!

I imagine it's because if you grew up in a male body you're likely to be taller than someone who grew up in a female body

I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all

Why? What have they done that I am unaware of?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

I use servers extensively, for several communities (some small like my weekly RPG game servers and my book club, some much bigger like the AI art servers I'm on), all of which have multiple channels which are used for different things. Correct me if I'm wrong but afaik Signal (and Molly which I'd previously not heard of) doesn't do that

It being closed source is unfortunate, not being very privacy friendly is certainly not good but I don't think there have been any major leaks have there?

Wow, op got pissy!

Do you want to go on adventures in a Solarpunk world?? Do you want to write your own story?

It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Nowhere is this more visible than on the shelves of game shops, where our choices for the future are dystopia, apocalypse, and space. Fully Automated is an open source tabletop RPG project developing a free game meant to provide for solarpunk what Dungeons...

Andor was a garbage show, and The Batman (Robert Pattison) was a garbage film. Both are lauded and deserve less than none of the praise they get

It might have been nice if he had worked out literally anything on his own, but as everything else about the film except Colin Firth's Penguin (who was only in it briefly) was dire I don;t think could have saved it

It used the world's least interesting chase sequence as a framing device for half the movie. The other half, the Jedi half, was okay though

Running Manjaro here. I'm been using Linux exclusively for years, and while I'm not a power user I like to think I'm conversant with it. I've had the odd problem here or there, but honestly not any more than I would expect with any other distro. I picked it because I wanted a rolling release distro that used KDE, and SuSE Tumbleweed didn't want to install that day!

I mean, I'm not arguing for private companies, but our government is quite spectacularly inefficient at anything except generating prime ministers! Mind you, they may be trying to be worse than the private sector so they cna claim the private sector is more efficient than the government, I guess...

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

They're doing their best to deal with that small issue, in between ruining everything else. The other side are also crap but are objectively better at everything except number of prime ministers and amount of harm done to the country

It comes out stale, but if you toast it it;s fine. Even just reheating it works somewhat

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

1/2 cup rice

1 cup water

1-2 cups misc frozen veg and frozen cooked meat (e.g. sandwich ham)

stock cube and/or spices

Stick the water and frozen stuff in a pan and bring to the boil, stick the rice in and bring back to the boil with the lid on, boil for one minuite and turn the hob off/take off the heat and don't move the lid. Don't touch it for fifteen minuites. Fluff and serve

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

You can replace the rice with 1 cup of couscous, but you need more spices as it's rather bland otherwise

They will go stale and lose potency, but yeah they're not gonna go mouldy or anything for the most part

I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them

This has to be satire, right?

British cops are the same but with less guns

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Stop with the "they're all the same" bullshit. Yes the other side are shite, but one side are absolutely worse

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

There are a few but we must assume all cops are bastards as a matter of self defence because the consequences of being wrong about it are atrocious. But you know that, don't you?

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

Any individual cop may prove they specifically are not bad right now, but keep your guard up because it only takes a bad day to change that, and/or the system and constant exposure to bad cops and stupid laws and criminals to grind them down

If you liked the first two, have you tried Planescape Torment? Basically the same engine

I'm currently playing through Shadowrun : Hong Kong and really enjoying it. I'm not sure why I bounced off the first time, I played and enjoyed Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun Returns but Hong Kong just did not click with me the first two times I tried

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

It has a great story, you're in for a ride!

I also realised that the Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) might scratch that itch - the setting is a cyberpunk/fantasy mashup, and the game play is similar isometric point and click until you get into combat when it becomes isometric turn based tactical. I was recommended to start with Dragonfall

That was funny when Cyanide And Happiness published it, before you added the political spin

ebooks. I read better with a back light, I have found, and generally read with light text on a dark background, both of which my tablet makes really easy

Snyder's films were crap tho, and he didn't understand the characters - you can't deconstruct Superman and Batman if you don't understand Superman and Batman. Plus the lighting and pacing were awful. That's why they got shat on

Don't lump larpers in with that shitebag. Larpers are mostly decent people

Yes. The idea that he wasn't real is frankly laughable. We know where he lived, we know who his wife was and what she was left in his will (their second best bed!), he met the queen for crap's sake!

The ancient Greeks had simple steam engines. They were children's toys because slaves were cheaper

Yeah, KDE is just better in so many ways. When gnome launched kde was built on a not-fully-open-source library, but then they fully open sourced QT, and that was decades ago so now there is no excuse!

I'm not really that keen on computer RPGs like Mass Effect or Dragon Age, but did rather like Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Am I likely to like much in this bundle?

If I want the handle fizz I’ll pay about $10 if someone wants to pay more then they want it more than me.

No, if someone is willing to pay more than you they may want it less but also value their money less because they have a lot of it, or they may think they can use it to make more money than you are willing to pay for it. capital=power, not desire

ReCursing,
@ReCursing@kbin.social avatar

how??? How does someone wanting it less but having more money to throw around that you mean they want it more?
