vaping (self.asklemmy)
 

What I don't understand is how these e cigarettes are accessible to youngsters compared to disallowing cigarettes.

I live in the UK, and I see young teens and people my age in 20s smoking these metal pipe cigarettes, isn't it just tobacco in liquid form? Shouldn't this be tightly controlled like regular cigarettes?

How the hell is this drug popular and marketable??

 

What's your favourite to use? Mine is Fish due to its ease of use and user friendly approach.

Bash is the pepperoni of shell tools being reliable in every field no matter what but I've moved to Fish as I wanted to try something different.

So what's your shell of choice?

 

Two examples of this are :

Penny's big breakaway and DUSK from the top of my head.

I'm not sure about you but I think the rise of indie games going with the PS1 aesthetic and other low gfx easy to run games is that the past, despite its flaws, was much better.

I also think there's a charm with low polygon games and spritework ones, it's your imagination that fills in the gaps.

And lastly, I think of the simpler times when you play modern indie "retro" games, no bullshit, you pay the devs, you get your game, everyone is happy.

What are your thoughts on indie games going for that nostalgia feel? Any examples to cite?

Oh this one I'm excited for, especially MVC2 since it's been in legal la la land for a while until now.

Are you guys going to purchase the collection? The only thing that sucks about is the lack of crossplay which could keep long term playerbase up outside of those who play MVC games on Fightcade.

The Condiment Wars (self.asklemmy)

What is your favourite sauce of the big three :

Ketchup - Arguably the most widespread and common sauce used for flavouring your burgers, BBQ and other dishes. Can be considered the normie basic-guy option from others opinions.

Mustard - The yin to Ketchups yang, also widespread in dishes previously mentioned in Ketchup section, either exclusively used or paired with Ketchup combining the flavouring.

Brown Sauce - HP, Daddies etc this sauce is pretty popular in the UK (Where I live) and goes great on chips/fries and prior dish mentioning.

It is also a cardinal rule to be put into bacon sandwiches among the brown sauce community.

What is your favourite sauce to use?

Average vs Fame (self.asklemmy)
 

What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.

I'm not sure about you but I'd prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it's not everything.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hear me out, the big players in the Linux space I.e. Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE could release trailers commercially on TV and social media to general users who may not be tech savvy or have a "basic windows" lingo in IT.

I know what you'll say "Granny smith and Dave the accountant aren't gonna care". That's fair but the adverts could outright say about how MS is a nortorious privacy invader and that you and your family could save spending more money on a supported Win 11 laptpp by just upgrading to Ubuntu or Linux Mint on one you already own with carefully simple instructions.

I understand that they use YouTube, I'm just talking about more traditional sorts of advertising, these firms are pretty big in the enterprise server space and considering they offer desktop versions of their respective distros, you'd think they would try cater to that market as well.

TLDR : Big corpo has money, advertise their distro, make them a better alternative.

 

Ever since I got my Michael Jackson Thriller CD, I've been thinking, I have started to prefer physical releases more when it comes to films and music, because it's nice to have something you own in your hands, lend to a neighbour, and rip to your devices.

With streaming, I've cut off some services as I got tieed with the price hikes and removals of specific titles, sure, your music might be lost if you lose your phone and you can just resign in with your account on say, Spotify.

But even those have issues where they can remove the track, with CDs and Blu Ray, it ain't going away if you keep looking after it.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you big into streaming due to convenience, or do you go physical? Or maybe a bit of both?

Let me know in yer comments!

What game would you create if you had the skills and experience of a veteran game dev? I.e. John Carmack

I would create a boxing game where you play as different fighters that look like the national animal of the country they're from I.e. Germanys eagle and British lion.

(So basically, Furry Fight Night(

It'd be similar to that PS3/X360 game Facebreaker

If you had such skills and know how, what game would you create? Let me know!

 

I've been getting back into the CPU limelight after a few years of burnout from too much info and life goals.

This new fancy E core stuff kids talk about sure looks interesting and I see the new Xeon has butt load of cores which some interesting technologies!

However there is one thing that still itches me brain, these CPUs seem to be marketed for data centres a lot about rack density?

If I'm right in ELI5, that just means less servers with better performance overall right?

I only quiz about their advertisement for data centres since you often seen a lot of prior gen Xeons in servers, heck the school I worked for in the past had a decent end of these processors for VM use.

Am I right in thinking THESE new fancy Xeons are "data centre" only versions?

Forgive me for my ignorance on this subject.

Team Fortress 2 (self.games)
submitted 7 months ago by Tekkip20 to c/games
 

Team Fortress 2 is such a great game that I never get bored of, everything from the sound to characters to the gameplay.

What are your favourite classes to play as? Mine would be :

  1. Engineer
  2. Medic
  3. Soldier

I find Engineer to be fun and at times a cozy experience, let your gun do the shooting and grab a beer.

Medic is awesome cos of the potential to save team mates and make grand changes in the match with overcharge.

Soldier is great cos it reminds me of Quake with all the rocket jumping and blowing up enemies into mushy red gibs. Especially with The Original.

I sure hope Valve listens to the FixTF2 bandwagon because boy oh boy Casual looking a dead horse for these last few years.
