Russia halts wartime deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain. It’s a blow to global food security
  • Bullshit. The Russians are waging war against a smaller country that was begging to avoid war. And do you remember the Russians were lying all along while they massed troops on the border? They called it a training exercise. The reason anybody is in this situation at all is Russia. The EU doesn’t owe Russia a damn thing.

    Just weeks ago, the Russians destroyed a dam, killing thousands of people and causing an ecological catastrophe. For the past year, they have been teasing a disaster at Zaporizhzhia.

    You are mistaken, friend. Russia is evil.

  • What is your favorite TTRPG that isn't DnD?
  • Pathfinder 2e and Scum and Villainy.

    5e just never really stuck for me. I like all the character options in Pathfinder and how easy it is to build something awesome.

    Scum and Villainy is just a ton of fun. It’s so easy to learn, the rules are simple, and it always leads to good times. There are so many opportunities for creativity and for things to go off the rails in the best way. The games I have played have basically been dumb criminals doing dumb things and sort of succeeding anyway with unexpected results.

  • Games that have stuck with you?
  • Oh man. Me too. The player market and pvp were the best. I loved how there were battles to actually control territory. There were places you just couldn’t go unless you were covert. That game should have gotten so much more love back then.

  • What systems are y'all playing?
  • Currently playing Pathfinder 2e. I like the system and the lore. Played Scum and Villainy a while back and loved it. My understanding is it’s largely the same as Blades in the Dark. There’s so much freedom to create some really memorable experiences. Our GM for Pathfinder also mentioned Dungeon Crawl Classics. That looks like it could be interesting.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Spam and bots like other people have said. Then there are the instances that get blocked because of the content and people there. Nazis, racists, trolls, etc. They were coming in from all over during the twitter migration. There was a blocklist on GitHub that was being updated pretty frequently.

  • Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 is good now?
  • I played long after release after a big patch. I knew the launch was a disaster but I hadn’t followed the game closely so I didn’t have huge expectations. I absolutely loved that game when I finally played.

    I’m one of those game tourists who hardly ever finishes anything. I don’t have enough time to game so I’ll just drop a game if I’m not really into. Cyberpunk was one of the few games I’ve finished in recent years.

    The gameplay was really satisfying, I enjoyed the story, and I loved the characters. There are a few you get to spend a lot of time with and I found myself actually caring about them. For me, it was reminiscent of how I felt playing Mass Effect. It’s one of my all time favorites for sure.

    It’s definitely worth a play if it sounds like something you’d be interested in.

  • Should I Jump to Debian 12? I have Kubuntu 23.04
  • I would second this. I’ve used Endeavour and it’s nice, but it doesn’t have much of a purpose. It’s an easy installer with some default packages. Once it’s installed, it’s 100% Arch but with a different name and you don’t know how some things work because they were automatically configured for you. Might as well use the real thing. The archinstall script is easy and you only have to do it once.

  • Should I Jump to Debian 12? I have Kubuntu 23.04
  • You will get the same version of Plasma and probably older versions of some other packages you use. With 5.27 being the last significant update until Plasma 6, you’re good on that for a while. Nothing will be newer than what you already have. None of your packages will get any updates beyond bug fixes and security updates, but it will be rock solid.

    Kubuntu is also reliable and has newer packages. Personally, I don’t think there’s much to gain here unless you’re set on something that doesn’t have snap and don’t mind running older versions of most packages.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

  • for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • No. Sites and communities come and go. Before Reddit, I was on slashdot and would occasionally use others like kuro5hin, fark, etc. Reddit had a lot more going on and was much better for comments when it came along. Then it got huge and only the small subs were any good for a sense of community or discussion. For a long time, it’s mostly been good for doom scrolling outside of some niche hobby subs. If anything, it’s kinda nice that some people are motivated to try other things like lemmy and kbin.

  • Leaked Tesla documents shed new light on why the Cybertruck is taking so long
  • Same here. I bought a Tesla in 2019 and was foolish enough to pay for FSD. At the time, they were saying it would be available by the end of the year. They finally rolled out a “beta” a few months ago and it’s terrible. That’s after they had me on this bullshit robo-nanny software monitoring my driving.

    The motors, battery, and charging infrastructure are great, but I would never buy another thing from Tesla as long as Elon Musk is involved with the company. He is a reprehensible troll and a dishonest businessman.

  • What’s everyone playing this weekend?
  • I tried it once a while back and the tutorial seemed pretty good. I was able to grasp things easier than some other paradox games. My biggest worry is I don’t have time to play consistently and I will forget too much between sessions. I never picked it up again because of that, but I keep looking at it and want to try again.

  • What’s everyone playing this weekend?
  • Started playing Persona 5 Royal a few days ago. Such a cool game. I played the original Persona as a kid on PlayStation and thought it was cool, although I never finished it because I couldn’t get past a part where my disc was scratched.
