Oh please. Their climate policies alone will fuck over the entire globe. I don't give a fuck anymore because this species is clearly fucking lost.

Terranigma. Still my favorite RPG to this day and one of my favorite games to this day, but it's hard to gush about this game without any spoilers and its written in a way that requires a bit of attention from the player. You do need to either have an EU / PAL SNES or emulate it though, because it never released in the Americas due to publisher drama.

Secret of Mana is great too, or if you already played that, Seiken Densetsu 3, which is the sequel title that never got released in the West, but got fan translated roms out there. Seiken Densetsu 2 being SoM, and the original Seiken Densetsu 1 was released as Final Fantasy Adventures and sort of a side story to the Final Fantasy franchise, which got dropped and became its own franchise with the second game. SD3 (or "Secret of Mana 2") is a significant step up to the first game in many aspects and even has multiple characters & branching endings based on your character selections.

On the PC definitely the Command & Conquer's Tiberian series, starting with the first game and a GDI campaign run, followed by a NOD campaign run. It got those cheesy but amazingly entertaining little clips between the missions that actually get you immersed into the story and it has a killer soundtrack too. It's one of the many great franchises ruined by EA, but I heard the remastered version is actually decent (I still won't buy because I still boycott them). The already suggested Red Alert is a spin-off series with some references to the Tiberian series, so I would not start with that one until you played the Tiberian one.

It sort of is working though, since Russia does not give a shit about their people or how it affects the country in the long term. Ukraine also has massive desertion issues currently, so hopefully more training can help with that since morale is not great after the last few years. Russia is basically slowly grinding down Ukraine and I don't see how that's going to change without more actual support (and yes, I know a lot of the training is done by allies already).

The far right alliance is already struggling, and they haven't even made it into office yet. lol

I absolutely hate it. Why did they remove the buttons at the bottom?! I now have to always pop out the window to access things like the Generator and the pop out window seem to have issues with scaling, cutting out the right side on its default window size.

I always wonder how some big ass studio announcing a title that uses (high quality) 2D or 2.5D graphics would go. Like, pump it full of many hours of great gameplay and gut and / or heart wrenching story, with lovely & beautiful art, in 2025+. No online account requirements, no Denuvo, no micro or macro transactions, just a solid buy to play title that's a blast to get immersed in. The problem is that suits would not dare to even try this, just like they don't dare to try anything else that's not your standard formula customer milking. And that's how you get the 20iest iteration of generic graphic bliss with hundreds or even thousands of bucks to spend on macro transactions and other pain the ass bullshit. Innovation for the big companies is dead, which is why I focus so much on Indie studios and smaller developers now. At least there's still some honest passion behind those games.

Maybe try the AMD proprietary drivers

Not gonna happen, especially not for one title.

You probably want to get the new installer working. Try installing Edge WebView via Protontricks before running the installer.

Protontricks is for Proton games. And without installing the game / launcher I would not have a prefix to install this to anyway?

My guess is that the older version of the game is using a really old version of direct X or OpenGL that your drivers aren't handling well. The newer version, being updated for Windows 10/11, should work just fine by contrast.

I think you're confused. The game does not differentiate between the two launchers. It's the same game regardless of which launcher you choose. Launchers are merely for downloading & updating games. I don't know whether it uses DirectX or OpenGL but I know it uses Unreal Engine 2.5.

What distro do you use? What Desktop environment? X11 or Wayland? What's your GPU? Which drivers do you use for it?

Bazzite, KDE, Wayland, 6650 XT, Kernel version 6.11.

I could see it useful if you need the LLM to explain something maybe? If you're reading something in a language not native to your own, or just something that's using quite complex language & writing, then it may be useful to just have a paragraph or sentence explained to you. Or maybe the book references something you're not familiar with and can get a quick explanation by the LLM.

I'm all in on shitting on that loser but the whole concept of Reddit is to outsource the bulk of moderation to the users. Same goes for Lemmy & variants btw, with all the problems it comes with.

God forbid there's a left leaning instance that isn't a Tankie infested cesspool.

I said that I tried to run it through Wine-GE, which requires something like Lutris. But what difference would it make anyway? It still installs through Wine. Also, the previous commenter did not talk about Lutris, but was referencing the two installers. Which, as I already said, there's only two - the old and the new one, which I both referenced accordingly.

So I did my due diligence in providing information, then get called out for not providing information about the things that I already did provide. That's just bitching for the sake of it at this point and completely unhelpful. If you need more information then tell me what type of info you need, instead of listing something that I clearly already mentioned.

If the bait person remains stationary, the drone will also stop its movement.

I guess this is for grenade dropping drones? Because a suicide drone is definitely not going to stand still. lol

If you only know very inaccurate howitzers then this is somewhat true. Most western artillery will be very accurate up to a few meters though.

This is a photo hosting site, that you don't even need to stop using yourself. If you'd like to view motherless, you can. Hell, if you find something that's not CP you could upload it on another site if you really wanted.

This is such a weird hill to die on. You're defending a site known to have CP, that's very weird.

I don't really care about motherless. It's just a simple principle regarding censorship and overreach and I don't understand why you respond with such a kneejerk reaction? Bans like this should have a proper basis behind them, regardless of what site it is.

Your argument is reddit and 4chan hosted questionable material and they banned the site. Wouldn't that mean, by your logic, that we would also want to ban it because if we're supposed to be better than them, then we would want to ban something they deemed as worse than them.

My argument is that all those mentioned sites are known to have been a host for such material. Now the question is why we treat one site differently than others, despite evidently there not being much of a case against any of them at least in their current state. So yes, if all those mentioned sites host such material, and that is the basis for this ban, then all of those sites should be banned along with motherless. Also, I cannot really verify with what exact reasoning & evidence 4chan & Reddit banned it or who did it first. If they just said they host CSAM and gave an equally flimsy reason for that as you did, then there would be now just 3 sites that banned another site while citing each other? So what's next? A fourth site doing the same, on the sole basis of the other 3 doing it but without further proof that there's actually a CSAM issue there (at least one that's not generally worse than all the other mentioned sites)? Do you not see how that is a problem?

Also, if there was a direct link to someone's social media with personal identifying information that was not consensual it would get removed. So yes Facebook and places are not 100% in the clear either.

That wasn't really the topic though? It was about alleged CSAM being hosted there, primarily based on your .pdf report, which also listed all those other sites along with it. Yet, only one of them gets this treatment? I simply do not understand how this line is drawn at this site specifically.

And multiple cases of sabotage, assassinations & attempted assassinations on NATO soil, along with all the disinformation campaigns. Russia is making a fool out of the West, which cannot find a proper response to this form of hybrid warfare. Everyone's too scared of their nukes, allowing Russia to move all the red lines further and further. They should turn the whole Baltic Sea into a NATO lake and blockade the couple Russian ports.

And if not they'll tend to go up as stocks empty.
