Bernie "I wouldn't call what Israel is doing to Gaza a Genocide" Sanders is just trying to save face after sucking the toes of the Democrats who spent the last 8 years rat fucking him into compliance. He is as deeply embedded into the Democratic establishment he pretends to oppose as Nancy Pelosi.
"Wahhh but he had to save democracy" yeah he spent 4 years refusing to prepare for what was an inevitably tough challenge from Trump, with the last year actively tone policing the public who opposed the genocide in Gaza.
Radlibs are scrambling to find a way to come out of this historic defeat as if they weren't helping orchestrate it from the beginning.
Straight up Reddit tier cope from liberals this last week. If you wanted to win don't turn away 15 million people from your base to pander to a bunch of MAGA voters who were always picking trump regardless. Absolute fucking morons.
"vote for a ceasefire" is the ceasefire in the room with us now? Because I'm not surprised people DIDNT vote for someone who was the fucking president but refused to pressure to end a war because it could be used as leverage in an election campaign.
the Democrats will just pander to this by getting an endorsement in 2028 from Andrew Tate.
Bernie is part of that coalition of big money. Brother endorsed Kamala the whole time, refused to pressure her and refused to call the war on Gaza a genocide. He should eat his own dogfood.
Maybe releasing a video begging people to overlook genocide and vote for the cop wasn't very smart of you bro.
Trump's draft dodging was one of the only good things he did. You're telling me you'd prefer if he helped dump agent orange across Vietnam and flatten communities older than the US itself?
You know the US were the bad guys, right?
Unranked. It really could just be that because I seem to get less seal clubbings (in both directions) in ranked.
It's a shame the slots are so limited rn because I really struggle to make time to be online for ranked at all.
I don't really want a surrender mechanic either because yeah it's lame and a copout, but I also don't want to spend 40 minutes being shit on or being useless either?
I don't know if it's MMR or something but recently my games have been someone on my team getting massive farm and dozens of kills to the point where it's a seal clubbing which I have no impact on, or it's the reverse where even despite coordinating one player is just so heavily fed by 10 minutes there's no way to catch up.
Ranked isn't so bad because of the coordination but the slots are limited and awkward if you work full time.
This game has a snowballing issue.
NB: This was just a post of me venting about two shit games back to back where the same player absolutely rolled through even when half of our team was pre-warned, but I wanna note that in general this trend of "one player gets fat then rolls the other team despite their best efforts" is something I'm noticing on my own teams too.

What am I meant to do when by luck or some other factor a player gets what you think is a meagre lead (1-2k) then spirals into an absolute seal clubbing?
When there's not surrender mechanic you're held ransom to ensure the winning team extracts their "fun" from having you feed into them until they decide playing TDM is enough and play the objectives?
I've had close games, equal games, games where we lose but it's a well fought, but recent updates have stuffed the MMR (or maybe cheating and smurfing is just common now?)

Yeah I've considered the idea of coming to peace with how my brain works. Which does just mean that sometimes I'll play one game/do one hobby for a while then drop it, but maintaining a strict regimen for consuming said hobbies is as exhausting as recovering from hyper focus.
Yeah it's more feasible that I break the time-space continuum than actually consume my finite time responsibly.
Fascinating stuff. I'm glad we're entering this new era of Linux application compatibility! And all through the honorable work of developers who are doing stuff just for the fun of it.

Reddit ahh post. Genuinely what is the point of Lemmy dot world if every community is just scolding people about the fact you're glazing a genocide denier
Maybe a total boycott of Russian economy would've had some domestic response, but in reality the only people sanctioning the Russian economy are the US and EU, which in itself represents a fraction of the world population and its economic output. The vast majority of the world's countries continued trading with Russia as usual, if not encouraged trade as Russia offers more favourable deals that the US and EU are unwilling to counter.
If the EU/US bloc was genuinely interested in anything other than a forever war to boost their military industrial complexes, they'd have put some of their economic power on the line to support global adoption of sanctions, but instead it is backfiring as BRICS slowly (but very surely) becomes a truly independent economic order of its own creation.
Deadlock! At least until I inevitably remind myself that multiplayer games are all bullshit and go back to enjoying SP games again.
"sub" meshes vs one monolithic mesh - Which technique should I use?
So I've done 3D modelling in 3DS Max and I'm currently learning blender, and I'm beginning to look at creating more detailed models and learning about stuff such as managing topology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEj1uHSu1Bw
I've noticed in videos such as this, instead of merging the meshes together and managing the topology of each detail/element, the modeller just creates a new mesh. Is this right? Or is there some benefit to combining these details into one "monolithic" mesh and then fixing any topology issues.
Is there much performance or other downside to creating multiple separate meshes like in the video? Am I overthinking this?
64-core RISCV CPU and RX5500XT GPU running Witcher 3 at 15fps
At very low, choppy FPS for now— but that it can run at all without x86 bodes quite well for the future of RISC-V devices
Incredibly impressive for a platform that hasn't even hit Debian stable yet.
This is using box64, an ARM/RISCV translation layer for x86 apps on Linux, not unlike "Rosetta" on MacOS.
