I really don't think Gaza will be a defining issue in the 2024 election. It's already fallen out of the news cycle and Gaza city will be under full occupation by next Nov.

Trump, however, will be in the middle of taking a huge beating by all his court cases. There's zero chance he ever gets more support than what he had last election. The best thing we can hope for is that the GOP puts him up for another election.

Both parties have the same issue right now. Both candidates don't have great appeal. But there aren't any Democrats that have an issue voting for Biden. He's been fine as president. We don't have to worry about him going off half cocked all the time. The party will fall behind him. The same can't be said for Trump.

It's because Edge is built on Chromium now.

I really like when they actually share "insider" details with us like this. It's much better than just having bad performance and not knowing why.

Graph is great in a lot of ways. I just hope they chose the right version

The main problem with the Pro is that it completely fails at the thing it was primarily marketed for: AR passthrough.

The cameras are so bad that when you use video passthrough, everything is blurry. It's completely unusable. No one will ever use it for productivity tasks in its current form. Meta should have just focused on making a high end gaming version because they failed at making it usable for anything business related.

Someone who's innocent generally wouldn't be dropped by their manager either. They know something we don't and are jumping ship real quick.

Yeah, I was gunna say: this impeachment attempt is obvious political theater, but I'm not about to listen to anything CNN has to say about it.

They're a major part of why politics are all a complete joke now.

Sugar is only part of it. Corn and wheat based products are just as bad.

The truth has to do with food availability as well, not just what it's made of.

Food availability has increased in the US over the past 50+ years, to where we have over 4000 calories per person a day now. Easy access to unhealthy food is a major contributor to our obesity. People don't even understand what a healthy diet looks like and have a very poor grasp on how much to eat. We just eat until we're stuffed and then wonder why we're fat.

It's especially tough as people age. I've been tracking my diet for 180+ days, eating under 1800 calories a day, and I still struggle with losing weight. Without a lot of effort towards eating the right amount and the right foods, people get fat.

Besides, less fast food restaurants would be a good thing anyway.

Feels like I haven't played a real good RTS like AoE in a while.

I hope the new Homeworld is good!

Yes but turn rates and acceleration are very different. I don't expect it will feel anything like E:D, but I do think SCM should be raised to 350 or 400 m/s

This video is very informative. I'm really interested in how Master Modes are going to change combat in SC. This feels as big of a change as when supercruise was removed!

Sign-ups and Verification (citizensgaming.com)

If you're looking to sign up for an account at Citizens Gaming, we'd love to have you here!

To avoid any confusion around the process, here are a few things to be aware of:

  • We require email verification. This is to make sure we don't end up getting mass spammed with bot account requests.
  • Lemmy can be finicky when it comes to the account verification process. You will receive an email that you must check before we see your application. If you mess up that step of the process, I have to go into the database and manually fix your account.
  • If you have any issues with this process please email us at [email protected] and we'll look into it.

CitizensGaming is already federated with most of the major Lemmy instances. However, it's important to understand how the federation process works:

  • Before our instance knows anything about another instance, a user registered here must interact with that other instance in some way (liking a post, replying to a thread, subscribing to a community, etc).

  • If you find an instance that we aren't syncing too, let us know and we'll check it out.

I just want to fly around with my bros in this bad boy 😔

I kinda regret not getting an Idris-M, but I guess that money was better spent invested elsewhere

Lost In The Desert (citizensgaming.com)
 

This week's sneak peak is a look at a new outpost.

 

While the VPS Citizens Gaming runs on has plenty of storage space, we've been working towards implementing migrating to object storage. Since SC content is generally image and video heavy, this will give us the expandability as the community grows.

If you see any odd behavior around image content, this is why. Hopefully it will be a seamless migration.

 

I went to a random ship meetup in my server last week and won 1st place!

This streamer is doing ship meetup contests weekly on Fridays if you want to try your luck, with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd best ships:

There weren't too many ships at this one, so chances were stacked in my favor :D

Sneak Peak - Fury LX (robertsspaceindustries.com)
 

LX usually denotes a luxury model right? I'm not sure how you add luxury to a Fury 😀

 

From inside the weekly update today, this is a really good fan-made production.

Here's the text of the letter at the end of the video:

Port Olisar - The space station above Crusader with majestic views.

Over the years you have become more than just a space station. You have become a beacon of Hope, Dreams, and aspirations of what is to come. A launching point for our adventures and the beginning of an era. We will miss you and all the memories you bring every time we see you.

But fear not for us for we are moving towards the future on the path that you paved for us. And there will be a new angel in the sky watching over us - Seraphim

This is not a farewell, my old friend, for I will search pyro and beyond till we meet again.

When we do, I will be flooded with the memories of where this adventure began.

-The Community

Go give Ezper a sub on YouTube and bump the post on the community hub. This content is worth it!

 

Let us know why you're still a fan of starcitizen and/or CIG!

 

One thing of note from the announcement:

With Turbulent as part of the CIG group of companies, our headcount will be over 1,100, making us one of the largest independent game developers in the world!

It's pretty insane to think how large CIG has gotten over the years. It makes sense to bring in Turbulent now. If everyone remembers correctly, they had spun up a team to make PU content last year, and many of us didn't really understand why that work would happen "out-of-house".

I know that opinions have always been varied about the CIG website and Spectrum, but personally I think Turbulent has a lot of good talent. Whether they are just contracted out or owned by CIG doesn't make a lot of difference, but at least now we know their talent will be dedicated to the project and not split working on other things.

 

I get a much better Blade Runner feel from Lorville now and I'm here for it!
