  1. CW: Helldivers 2: my first take (minor spoilers, I guess?)

    I’m not sure how I feel about #Helldivers2 so far. It’s really quite freaky how effectively it drops the player neck-deep into a full Starship-Troopers-experience. I was hoping for more of a Starship-Troopers-The-Novel-experience from the trailer but gameplay is definitely more of a Starship-Troopers-The-Whole-Damn-Movie-Franchise-But-The-Third-In-Particular-experience right down to the exact style of Super Earth’s propaganda.

    I was not particularly impressed with the Easy missions, but the quality and diversity of missions scales with difficulty, which keeps things interesting.

    I do, however, really like how every end-of-op extraction is a frenetic escape from a whole damn swarm of certain dooms, just like that one scene from the first Starship Troopers. It really sets the tone of the whole game.

    For an online multiplayer, the community is surprisingly helpful and welcoming to new players. I’m kind of still in shock about that.

    I like the climbing, skateboarding and BMX in the Olympics... I think not the Break

    I must say that in general the competitions where it is more about appreciation... something more artistic... I think it belongs to another event... in my very personal opinion, the Olympic sports should be measurable...

    Seems to me the #nature of #knowledge is changing. I expect we will have fair proportions of people completely computer-dependent. #Literacy as we think of it will be made #obsolete to many.

    The problem is keeping humanity #informed and not #cultivated somehow.

  20. @bread80 Totally understand that. I think a lot of us feel the same about the early work of our projects.

    But don't be scared to break it. I've spent far too long avoiding doing things in projects because I'm worried about breaking them - these end up being some of the best learning experiences.

    Take a backup. Branch it. Play with it.

    I kinda wish @niccolove's excellent floating panels on #KDE #Plasma *wouldn't* de-float unless *most* of the panel has window(s) touching it, e.g., more than 50% of the width of the panel has a window or windows butting up against it.

    I know that would look weird, as if there were a force field repelling windows from touching the panel, but I would honestly prefer that.

  37. I have an old Macbook Air that I put Elementary on to make a "just write, don't tinker" machine. It's quite nice.

    For me the determining factor in picking a distro is how much I'll be tempted to fiddle with it, not will it run well. When I have Manjaro installed I can't help installing updates, trying new software and changing to some new exciting theme color.

    I feel like I have to provide "parental controls" to keep my own inner 6 year old from going nuts.
