Mine looks like the product of an epileptic rat with a pen up its arse.

I hope so. A good step would be for the UK to rejoin the EU but that seems unlikely to happen in the next decade. But we need to build solidarity and resilience, and like you say, increase our independence as much as feasible

[–] Regrettable_incident 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that's fair, I thought it would probably be something like that. TBF it's work, they're paying me, I'll use whatever they choose. I won't have it on my own computer though just because of Microsoft's hard sell

I'm curious, what good do you see trump doing for the country? It seems to me that he's doing a lot of harm but we probably have differing views

I certainly wouldn't be crying myself to sleep that night.

I kinda feel like the 'never genocide' people were always secretly embarrassed trumpsuckers.

But I don't have a problem with mods giving them the same protections as the rest of us. I think those people are a bunch of wankers but I don't want Lemmy turning into more of an echo chamber than it already is.

Almost like it was intentional.

Yeah. Funny thing, that.

I'm not American but wouldn't that mean Vance becomes president? It's tempting to think he couldn't be any worse, but trump likes the fucker so who knows?

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I dunno if you are aware but there's also a steam deck sub here and they'd probably be happy if this was posted there too.

[–] Regrettable_incident 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but we know what happens with bubbles.

I can see it being used to make images of people who don't know and haven't consented though and that's pretty shit

You mean deep fakes? Yeah it's really a not great development

 

Hi. So background is I'm 50 and I've not done much gaming since vice city and the original silent hills +unreal tournament. I'm trying to get back into it but I'm frustratingly crap.

I've got a steam deck and my neighbour has one too, we were looking for games we could play either head to head or cooperative. People suggested left 4 dead 2 and we managed to get that working through lobby thing but it was laggy and TBH it was a bit chaotic for us. Too much constant running and shooting and no time to pause for thought or discuss strategy.

I think we're looking for something with a bit of occasional violence but also some strategy - not just bang bang all the time. Maybe even something that doesn't involve violence at all. But we both working and only got an hour or two a day for game time.

Any suggestions?

First if it's possible to locally connect 2 steam decks (without a fuckin cable!). Second on what games might be fun. Needs to not have a big learning curve and be something we can just play for an hour or two when we have time.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. Cheers

 

Hi

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. Basically I'm looking for recommendations for a game I can play against my 2 brothers. We live in different cities and hardly get to see each other but are we all into games.

We are all in our late 40s and haven't gamed against each other since way back when I had a few networked PCs in a squat where we played unreal tournament. I am well out of the gaming loop, i just finished bioshock a couple of months back, now I'm playing doom & death loop. I'm crap at both!

We were thinking we'd like to play a shooter just against each other, kinda like unreal tournament, or something we can do cooperatively. We are definitely not ready to go up against the kids online. Maybe doesn't have to be a shooter if it's fun to play together. Most of us have kids and none of us has loads of screen time.

One brother is on an Xbox One is on a PC One is on a steam deck with WiFi hotspot.

I'm grateful for any suggestions

 

Sorry about the shit photo. I can try to take a better one if anyone interested. Tat second and last session was maybe a month ago. At the top it's kinda covering up something silly I had done in the 90s.

 

Hi yeah so this is a follow-up post. I posted a pic of my garden maybe a month ago and said I'd post more pics over summer, so here is its current state. As you can see, the gladioli are coming and going, the calendulas are bullet proof (those fuckers will flower when temp drops to zero). There's a couple of grafted apples in the mix, my marigolds got nailed by slugs (lotta slugs and snails this year). I'm not growing any food aside from the apples which are too small to fruit and the heritage beef tomato someone gave me. The sweet peas are almost over, gutted cos I love how tarty they smell! But I've been saving seed pods. There's a bit more stuff in the mix.

Obviously growing in pots and crates is challenging but as you can see I live in a van and my plants have to be able to move when I have to go. Also there's fuck all soil where I am right now. I'd love a proper garden but I'm doing my best. Anyhoo, the bees and butterflies love it, and so do I.

Hi yeah so I'm not sure if this fits here but I'm posting it anyway. I live in a van so my garden has to be in pots so I can move it when I have to. Also there's fuck all soil where I am right now. I'm mostly about flowers, I'm not growing any food this summer except that tomato plant in the blue crate, someone gave me that and I couldn't not give it a chance. I think it's a heritage beef tomato. There's a couple of apples in the mix, one of em flowered in spring but they were only cuttings& grafts last year so doubt it'll fruit. The rest is meant to be pretty stuff, sweet peas, calendulas (dead headed, hopefully back soon, those fuckers are bulletproof), marigolds (slug attack but couple survivors) gladioli, couple of roses, snap dragons, sunflowers be coming late due to sluggery, cornflowers, the orange crate is supposed to be meadow flowers, we'll see what happens there. Anyway, if no-one tells me not to I'll post another pic in a few weeks cos all being well it'll only get prettier
