And now I'm looking for players
  • Or you play a system that has build a world where the age of exploration, king Arthur, the Russian revolution, the hanseatic league, the itialian city states, the spanish inquisition, and much more are all happening at the same time.

    7th Sea has some wacky world building, but it stays realistic enough to be quite believable and coherent.

  • TAS Explained: Super Mario Bros. 3 in 0.2 seconds
  • My brain was wondering how a video of only 0.2 seconds would work. Can you even say an entire word in that time? And how is that enough to explain all of Super Mario Bros. 3 TAS?

    I was kind of disappointed to see the video lenght makes sense, and my brain was just not awake yet.

  • ik😭ihe
  • The only other mistake I can spot is a tough. When you say "Ik bezoek de Thunderdome dit jaar", I would have written "Ik ga de Thunderdome bezoeken dit jaar".
    Consider the nuace in English between "I visit X" and "I will visit X".

  • £30k? In London? Bargain!
  • I suspect that they are not allowed to turn it into a home due to daylight and ventilation requirements. It certainly can't be rented out. So instead they sell it as a basement, and let the owner fix it themselves. Meaning that the property develop just got 30k for an otherwise useless basement.

    For example: https://www.righttolightsurveyors.co.uk/sunlight-and-new-house-design-beware-the-temptation-to-use-standard-plans-without-full-consideration/

  • Is it ethical to place a birdbath next to my berry patch with the intent of letting my cats get there predatory instincts out?
  • Cats that don't know any better can live inside just fine. But I adopted a cat from the shelter that was only allowed to go to a place where he can go outside. And he REALLY wanted to go outside. Usually you have to keep them inside for at least 6 weeks to accomodate before you allow them outside. He escaped through a tiny bathroom window after 2 weeks. And he came back the next morning wondering why I was stressed out. Since then I let him outside. Since then, he also became a lot more chill inside. No whirlstorm on my bed at 4 in the morning, no attacking my feet out of boredom, and he generally seems a lot calmer. Keeping him inside would drive both him and me crazy. So do we have to euthanise all cats like him? Cause locking them up inside is just cruel.

  • Proving that you're a Trekkie
  • Making an actual episode where there is a race that talks like this would be the perfect way to kill it off. Just imagine Picard attempting to communicate with this race in their own language. No kid will survive the cringe.

  • What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?
  • For the people unaware why EU4 is hard:

    Take risk (the board game)

    Now split the provinces till you have more than 3000 provinces. Then add variables to each region for culture, claims, trade good, trade power, buildings, development (in 3 aspects), the region they are part of, the trade node they are part of, religion, autonomy, unrest, devestation, temporary effects, and many many more.

    Do the same for armies.

    Add complicated politics, with royal marriages that allow countries to inherit other countries, war goals, casus belli requirements, etc.

    Add colonization mechanics.

    Add government mechanics (with many different variants for different governments ofcourse).

    Add a compex Holy Roman Empire system and a complex system for the Chinese empire.

    Add mechnics for different religions, including a pope and a religous war that can bring all of europe into a giant war.

    Add a pool of diplomats, merchants, generals, and missionaries.

    Now realise that I haven't played the game for ages, and this was just mechanics from the top of my head, and without what they added in the last few years.

    EU4 is not hard due to required reflexes, muscle memory learning, or rythm feeling. It is just a lot of things to learn and to keep track of, woven into a super complicated simulation.

  • Looking for advice on hobbies and whether I should continue rock climbing?
  • The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It's fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

    And don't worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

    And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.

  • Any arguments against separating identity from instance/platform? (single identity across the fediverse)
  • It is a matter of responsibility. If you can log into any lemmy instance or mastodon server with the same account, then which server takes responsibility for your actions in the fediverse?

    I have seen instances be defederate from because of their lax account creation requirements, or because of harrasment from users from a specific instance.

    If an account can log into any instance, then who is responsible for banning the account?

  • Wij zijn nummer twee
  • Makes sense from an internet topology point of view. The Netherlands is quite centrally located when looking at international connections. The amount of data centers is also quite high, especially for the population.
