I’m putting up a minecraft server for my kid and her friends, but I don’t really play myself other than than. Few creative builds so I’m curious if you could please expand for me what exactly you mean when you say to mod the shit out of it. Is it enough to create rules or am I going to have to actively moderate their play?
As a kid who loved Kingdom Hearts and The Matrix, I wanted to make a game where you could choose from the standard Magic, swords, guns, OR you could whip out your keyboard and hack the game.
It’s not nearly as exciting in retrospect, as it’s basically just Skyrim with console commands, but the thread brought it back to me so I thought I’d share. It felt like a cool idea in 2002, though.
I’ve also been writing and designing a Pokemon game in my head for the last 25 years, but I’m keeping that one closer to my chest even though there’s no universe where that happens.
Solar now being the cheapest energy source made its rounds on Lemmy some weeks ago, if I remember correctly. I just found this graphic and felt it was worth sharing independently....
You know, I would watch an Austin Powers 4 where he is thawed out in the present, is caught up with current affairs, and then can’t cope. He just spends the rest of the movie depressed. Maybe he even kills himself. It wouldn’t be funny but I would watch it.
Or the two advanced space telescopes the NRO donated to NASA. People so quick to disregard the government’s technical capabilities remind me of David Dunning and Justin Kruger.
The skyrocketing cost of insurance premiums in Florida is leading residents to drop their insurance, consider selling their home, and even move out of the state, according to recent reports....
It’s like this in the states, too. Had the same scenario with a battery replacement. “You don’t need the password to make sure the battery works.” “But we need to unlock the device to run diagnostics.” “I’ll unlock it for you and we’ll run them together” “No” “oh okay… The password is 0000, call me if it doesn’t work and I’ll unlock it for you and we’ll run diagnostics together!”
The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11.

To be even more pedantic, Columbus arrived in South America. He never saw any part of what would become the U.S.
Also we celebrate the birth of our nation on July 4th, the supposed anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but it was actually signed over a period of several years and wasn’t even the Country’s first governing doctrine.
And just because it’s a fun fact I like, Florida was a Spanish colony for longer than it’s been a U.S. state.
Librarians in public schools in Charlotte County, Florida, were instructed by the school district superintendent to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries.

Please support Foundation 451 and consider donating. It is a Florida teacher-led organization that has already provided thousands of banned books to Florida students and is opening up banned book libraries all over the state.
Do you have any idea what teachers in Florida make? That aside, pushing all the good teachers out of the state is exactly what DeSantis wants. They’ve drastically lowered the qualifications necessary to be a teacher. You seem to understand why. Why do you think they’ll stop with Florida.

French supermarket Carrefour has put stickers on its shelves this week warning shoppers of “shrinkflation” - where packet contents are getting smaller while prices are not.
If their advertising is just telling the truth about what other companies are doing I don’t see the problem. As Agent J says in Men In Black ‘Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing.’
In the years following the 2013 debut of Adult Swim’s cartoon phenomenon “Rick and Morty,” its star and co-creator Justin Roiland became a titan of the animation and video game industry and a rock star of youth counterculture.

Well I know an AP English lit teacher in Florida who has been told he is not even allowed to teach Vonnegut, and has been instructed to teach parts of the Bible. Does that help?
