Nobody Loves Me by Limp Bizkit?

andrew_bidlaw, (edited )

Oh, and this time you’ve got some fun toys to play with like the Atlan, a “daunting skyscraper-sized mech capable of toppling Hell’s behemoths with titanic metal fists” and a Mecha Dragon to fly around on too.

And Doomguy has a shield (is he a coward?) and a morgenstern-hook like on Ethernal’s shotgun for more scripted actions, and probably more QTEs. And they dive deep into the ‘lore’ of Doom showing us some of his previous incarnation, so await cutscenes and tell-don’t-show about how gorgeous the Doomguy is instead of you actually being him.

Good good boomer shooter genre is here and old games are still accessible. Probably Machine Heads who remastered Quake and added their own episodes are more equipped to do real Doom games than the remains of Id.

andrew_bidlaw,

Original Doom movie’s getting a sequel? Idk at what stage they are, but it’s probably the best they have at the moment.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

andrew_bidlaw,

It’s just a little different nowadays. Like the other user said, they just don’t know they have a choice or what to choose and follow whatever they know…

And what was one of the early bolsheviks’ regime strongest points? They created schools and made people literate en masse, and did it with their own curriculum. People became less suspective to ex elites and religious propaganda, and became their target audience.

Adobe, Google, MS give discounts and special programs for education because this way people get used to their products. Many local organizations that touch these casual users don’t have a real IT department and just flow with what’s given, they don’t make an informed choice like corporations. And that’s probably the place where this switch may even start to begin. A class of students who started with e.g. KDE Plasma would be used to it more than they used to Windows, same with other software. They can already do their homework and play most games. What else do they need?

The sharp corner is to find money to fund select schools to show others it’s not scary and makes it even cheaper for them in the long run, maybe some special troubleshooting team to teach them the ropes. I’ve heard from some users there and on reddit that their computer classes with a geeky teacher who installed Linux is how they’ve rolled in without a problem.

andrew_bidlaw,

I feel there’s a great intersection of cops and those people who still buy into Elon’s bullshit. It couldn’t be any other way.

NFS OST remade for kids

One of the weird realization for me as I learnt English and listened to authors who contributed to these games, is that many remastered their tracks to exclude swear words and obvious mentions of drugs, or was it EA specialists? NFS Underground and Most Wanted games were filled with rap and metal, but still got rated for teens...

andrew_bidlaw,

I know about that, but these are not clean radio-friendly versions that were published on CDs by producers, they are special versions created for these games. That’s what irked me. And with DP’s track they’ve been done noticeably choppy by either artists or EA sound designers. That’s not something very important, but that exists.

One idiotic country blurs ciggaretes in the scene and grays out the rainbow for some reason. There’s probably no limit to censorship shenanigans.

andrew_bidlaw,

I’m on call with your network provider to ban you from anything, anywhere, anywhen. There… you just crossed the line.

I have Panthera in my ears rn (I know, right), so that’s my guess of what they’d come up with.

She was driving me crazy

I was riding her like it’s honeymoon

We both took petals from (this) daisy

Knowing full well it’d end very soon.

Nothing

Artificial

I had a bonner

So that’s official.

andrew_bidlaw,

With the clearly stated lack of evidence, I have no problem imagining russian teachers to be worthy of the ЧМО ебаное title. It’s surprising that distribution of the worst people I know is unevenly collected under that profession. I’m still wondering why.

andrew_bidlaw,

I wonder if they acted like gentlemen on the frontline.

andrew_bidlaw,

Like in this case, finding other people that think like you helps a lot. Lemmy is my lifesaver because I don’t feel safe saying anything anywhere else, unless it’s private. And you can’t collect it in yourself for too long.

The whole NPU thing reeks of stagnation.

andrew_bidlaw,

After watching TOS and TNG and being quite meh on every second episode, this show hits me as hard as the X-Files on my first watch. 90s shows are the millenials’ holy grail. I greatly enjoy that we don’t observe one crew, but have stellar, likeable or problematic favs in Ferengi, Bajoran and Cardassians. There the ‘gray moralty’ peaked.

andrew_bidlaw,

I have identity problems and a low self-esteem ): I dislike my original name-handle, but I didn’t come up with anything better yet.

My favorite episode of it is the Kill Switch, s5e11, co-written by William Gibson, the dad of cyberpunk the genre. If you’d have a movie night, couple it with Field Trip and Via Negativa episodes, but don’t do any drugs because all three episodes are really weird on their own.

But other than big hits episodes it’s just as comfy as ST or SG. Season 2 has some more creepy monsters, but it’s all about dreaming of what if there’s another conspiracy behind the conspiracy and the truth about little green\gray men are somewhere out there. Bonus is that the series are gender-swapped compared to its’ predecessors, and Scully is the source of rational disbelief and practical objections, while Mulder always acts on his feels and values. Thanks to that, it feels somehow refreshing and validating.

andrew_bidlaw,

Was this song there? I can’t remember.

andrew_bidlaw,

Damn, I’ve never googled it. Nice.

andrew_bidlaw,

You’ve made a friend.

arena fan from Oblivion

andrew_bidlaw,

I don’t think we are on the same wavelenght, but good for you if you are served well, I guess.

andrew_bidlaw,

Man, you sre on Lemmy at 20. Think about that.

But as you are still in Uni, you can ask other people to discuss homework, complete it together, eat out in some food chain or a cafeteria when you have a break. You don’t turn 100% of these into friendships, a small percentage of these come to fruition, but even small connections make you not alone. You can also start gym and ask assistance there - guys like to coach others. But the same approach can be extrapolated to other places too - if you act dumb at one of the clubs you mention, some people are naturally kin to help you out, and in thid process you can talk to them.
