Torx is the only head that needs to exist. The rest can go fuck a rusty chainsaw.

This looks awesome!!!!
Spring is dead. The fork Recoil is going strong and fast. :-)
So I have a very specific dog in this fight. I am currently working on an RTS game for the recoil engine. One of my big requirements is the ability for direct hosting without the need of a central server. My biggest argument for this is the fact that if the server ever goes down or I get hit by a truck or anything like that, people can still directly host games.
Also I don't think lan parties should require a trip to a third party server just in order to have games with each other. I feel sometimes like I'm the only person who remembers back in the old days when we had giant lan parties and in a lot of cases there wasn't even really much in the way of internet access to them.
In my personal opinion, I feel like games as a service have done end users a disservice. There are so many games that I would love to go back and play but I can't because the servers don't exist or the developers made it so difficult to host your own servers that you need to jump through a million modding hoops just to make it so that you can actually play a game online with others.
What is really bad though is single player games that require an online connection. Witafits?
When are these idiots (journalists/editors) going to learn that messaging matters? 690 million tonnes? Yeah, sounds like a lot. No context for that number in the headline which is all most people read.
Perhaps instead of listingn only statistics and pretending that laypeople care, help people see what that would mean for them personally. Get them invested in the idea. Help plant the seeds and allow them to come to the conclusion that things should change. It's like someone saying the government spent a billion dollars on something. Sure, that's a lot of money, but the vast majority of people have no real concept of what a billion of something even is.
It's a damn shame that the us isn't more bike friendly. I would kill to have a public transit system that didn't suck, but unfortunately,l unless there is a massive change, I don't see car usage going anywhere.
I could be wrong here, but I think the issue lies in starting a sentence with which. Whereas which would be used in the middle of a sentence. For starting a sentence, this should be used.

Fuck that bad luck Brian looking ass bitch.
That said, the more stupid shit he does, the more people find out about lemmy. Lessssgooooooo
ZeroK uses the same engine as BAR, my game, and quite a few others. 😋 And yes, definitely should check out ZK, it's a mature project with a nice community and awesome devs.
Recoil is pretty much the only foss engine purpose built for modern rts games of all types.
If you like RTS games similar to Total Annihilation, you should definitely check out Beyond All Reason, it's gorgeous and fun: https://www.beyondallreason.info/
I understand that you guys probably can't do anything about the interface in lemmy, but, like nearly everyone else, I was searching via the "communities" area because it's the only place with an obvious search button.
People were talking in another thread about searching via url, but nothing ever came up, until I found a comment at the very bottom mentioning the search button in the top right.
This is bad ui and very confusing. I want to like lemmy so badly, and I love the idea behind the fediverse, but the setup could not be more confusing it if intentionally tried to be. If there were a search BOX in the top right, then that would be much more visible and eyecatching, but I (and I have to assume many others) had no idea that there were multiple search types.
And you know the even worse thing? In the communities tab there is a "URL" search option, and when I put a valid url in that box and searched for it, nothing came up.
I'm pissy because I'm frustrated and imo this is a lemmy self-own. I have been just going with the flow and trying to figure out how it works as I go, but you have to understand, the fediverse only sounds good in theory. For MOST people, in practice what it sounds like is that they're cut off from the rest of lemmy based upon what instance they join. There is a reason that so many people are joining lemmy.ml. They want access to all the content posted, not JUST the little (or big) instance that they happened to sign up for. Assurances that you can easily access the rest of the fediverse are garbage without a lot of explanation because when people actually try via what seems to be the most obvious way, it doesn't work the way it seems it should. I still don't know how to see what is effectively the front page of lemmy.ml posts intertwined with the beehaw ones and my beehaw front page.
I pretty much get it now, but this needs to be explained in a way that is easy to follow and doesn't assume that someone is using an app or desktop respectively. Speaking of that, lemmur looks nifty, but no matter how much entering of beehaw.org and cursing will resolve "instance not found".
Sorry for the rant, but I'm quite frustrated and pissy about how difficult it has been to do some of the most seemingly simple things.
Edit: Airing this grievance made me feel a lot better lol

Yeah, you're gonna have to cite your sources on that one.
