Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game.
  • My friend group has been having a lot of fun with Beyond All Reason. Also free/open source RTS

  • Allyship rule
  • I can continue to sit on the sidelines, but it eats me up inside seeing so much hate. I genuinely want to offer any help I can. I'm horrified by what the GOP are pushing in this country, actively vote against it, and support causes where I can. The GOP will pat each other on the back while they send anyone woker than a blonde white Christian man to the death camps. Meanwhile a progressive will point out that their blind unity is a dangerous threat and be set upon by those they fundamentally agree with.

    I generally don't join these conversations, but I do think the first comment in this tree has merit. I also apologize for causing you any more stress, it was definitely not my intent.

  • Allyship rule
  • This is reinforcing their point though. The person you're responding to almost certainly supports you unconditionally. But you're at odds here because of a difference in experience/strife.

    I recognize I have no horse in the race, but I do go out of my way to offer support. All I'm saying is your efforts are better spent fighting actual bigotry.

  • I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store
  • they pay devs millions

    I mean I see this as a good thing. I have to keep a separate launcher around but... at least that dev is getting a great deal and will probably be able to support that game for a while (or start their next one)

  • Rule what you know
  • Have you seen Reservation Dogs?

  • China bans exports to US of gallium, germanium, antimony in response to chip sanctions
  • My takeaway is that since MILITARY INTEREST is involved, these materials will be exempt from the tariff.

  • The casual moviegoer is a thing of the past. That's a big problem for Hollywood
  • I thought theaters were going bankrupt after offering those unlimited passes. They banked on people getting the pass and maybe using it once or twice.

  • Warning signs
  • Well oil was discovered in Crimea and northeast Ukraine in like 2012, so we really dropped the ball there.

  • โ€˜Brain rotโ€™: Oxford word of the year 2024 reflects โ€˜trivialโ€™ use of social media
  • First used in 1854, โ€œbrain rotโ€ resurfaced in 2024 amid debates on humanityโ€™s relationship with technology.

  • Making Lego Car CROSS Narrow Bridges
  • What a delightful video XD

  • Productivity App | Ithya: Magic Studies on Steam
  • Yeah I saw the thumbnail and 'steam game' and had a moment of confusion. Fantastic background music for D&D, and the animations are simple but endearing. Also, it looks like new lore in the steam app (world map)!! I do like this setting, and I'd like to learn more~

    But yeah Blue Turtle doesn't make the music, which is the highlight of the series. I wonder if the steam app licenses them? Or are they royalty free?

  • I love SNES
  • You fool! Those are just NES games!

  • Is this romantic or a red flag?
  • ITT: Everyone taking a shitpost from reddit posted to Funny@sh.itjust.works seriously

    Also: both romantic and a red flag

  • Mario 64 Speedrunning Declared "Dead" After Insane Feat From "The Greatest Speedrunner Of All Time" | Time Extension
  • Speedrunners tend to be superfans, and I'm sure their first playthrough of a game is done in the intended manner. Also consider that beloved games tend to have more active speedrun scenes - People speedrun Majora's Mask precisely because of its wonderful atmosphere.

    But yeah actually watching speedruns isn't for everyone

  • The Man Behind the Legendary Donkey Kong Country Soundtracks
  • Wise actually worked with OC Remix on the DKC album!

    It's fantastic to see an article like this in the Times. His work continues to be incredible, with more recent works like Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Gimmick 2.

  • Niantic uses Pokรฉmon Go player data to build AI navigation system
  • AI delivery bots maybe? It's basically an aggregate of "here's where it's possible/common to walk" so it's not useful for driving/flying AI. Also useful for marketing, knowing where foot traffic is.

    The article says they're treating it as a Large Geospatial Model (like a Large Language Model), so it seems like you could use that as a predictive way to navigate between two points. With an LLM it spits out phrases based on context. The LGM would return paths based on context.

    How many Super Mario games are there? The answer is actually a lot more complicated than you might think!

    Since this video came out, the series has gotten a new mainline title. Or, do you think it's a spinoff? Apparently about 4% of players think so. You can take this survey to let your opinion be known: https://forms.gle/EVWf8pDAYxYcEa2e9 (Be warned, this will take about 30 minutes)
