I'd say I missed out on this really cool map making period in gaming history (Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half-life, counter-strike, etc.), but it kinda lived on a little when I was a teenager (countless, painful hours making halo 3 and halo: reach maps using a controller...fun times though). Kids nowadays have it the best though: When I was little we DREAMED of a lego video game and minecraft nails that (lego island and lego island 2 were awesome, but it wasn't infinite building awesome).

I see someone else read this NY Times article today. Wild read, I was trying to get things done around the house and it sucked me in.

Edit: OP posted the article in another community, can't believe I missed it. https://kbin.melroy.org/m/news@lemmy.world/t/411895

Mods, I appreciate this bot!

Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will 'perfectly' identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts 'gets people thinking' about the credibility of their news sources.

MBFC doesn't have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I'm not gonna complain about that.

If you're retired and in Florida there's a whole competitive scene! My buddy's parents got us into the game 2 years ago before they moved to the villages. They came back to visit a few months ago and I was VERY humbled .

Maybe that's why it's cheap to get tennis lessons now.

Just gotta hope they aren't stealing your tennis court to play pickleball! Lol

TL;DR: it felt like there was no 'casual' mode

I would run into an issue where I would use 1 meta load out and would hold around a 1.0 k/d, but if I ever wanted to experiment and try some other guns or unlock some new attachments I would get absolutely shredded. I would do this for a few matches, unlock whatever I was trying to unlock, and then switch back to my most efficient load out and absolutely shred the lobby I was playing in for a few games until I averaged back to a 1.0 k/d.

I felt like the only multiplayer option was 'competitive' and I couldn't really experiment with things without getting my shit pushed in.

For an IRL comparison: I play pickleball from time to time and if I casually play someone at or slightly below my skill level I can experiment a little (try landing shots in different places, work on forehand vs. backhand, etc.), but if I play in a competitive tournament and go up against a pro they will absolutely kick my ass in record time (and that's okay lol).

Currently it cannot. It does let you select which applications it records from though (ex: I have it set to record my game audio, discord, and my microphone, but not Spotify).

I wonder if this is related to the latest Lemmy update?

Thank You for experiencing this roller coaster so I don't have to

....is this not just a muffler/silencer for leaf blowers? Good on these kids! This definitely falls under the 'why didn't I think of that!' category for me.

Not excusing drunk driving, but based on the shape of the road I see how this happened. From Google maps, if the driver was coming from blanchett street there is a bend in the road right in front of the building. Here is what it looks like from street view. The driver was probably drunk and/or lost control of the vehicle and went speeding forward into the side of the building.

Drunk at 3pm? Jesus.

 

When I look at the thumbnail/preview the giraffe is facing left, but when I open the image it is facing right. Is this one of my settings in sync, a setting on my phone, or a bug?
