Endless Sky is great.

Okay, now that’s weird. I switched to “any interface” for what to bind to instead of my Ethernet interface and that somehow made torrenting work again?

Update: I was somehow able to torrent a different one with aria2c, and it went at full speed, so I’m very sure that I’m NOT being blocked by my ISP…

Last I checked it costs too much to engrave wikipedia articles into headstones.

never been to the Rumble Quarantine Zone but I would put on a hazmat suit first if I were you

OpenTTD (2004), which traces its roots to Chris Sawyer’s Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (1994)

And there’s a community of players who have modded the everloving fuck out of the game and the engine itself, one of these patch packs is OpenTTD JGR and we play it like it’s a model railway simulator

we either put it in virustotal, spin up a VM, and run the thing without network access, and just hope for the best

welcome

Almost forgot to mention but here in the Philippines, our basketball teams are the ones with the sponsored names…

stop it

i’m just gonna generalize this to “any year before 1600” and edit the title

More The Expanse. More Chrisjen Avasarala. More!

I just use HTML entities to type en and em dashes. — -> — – -> –

Oh nice Lemmy supports these entities.

Did you know? French, Italian, and Spanish are all Romance languages; they are part of a large family of languages that evolved from Latin over hundreds of years. That’s why they’re similar. While I don’t have the necessary citations on hand, learning a language might make it slightly easier to learn, or at least have a basic “I know a few hundred words” understanding of its sibling languages.

(I saw that other people have typed similar things but I already wrote it so I’m just gonna send it anyway.)

I’m sure the AI devs so lazy they cannot train their AI on anything other than scraped HTML can set up a Lemmy instance and point their crawlers at that.

My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I’m in my late 10s, I’d rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.

A personal datacenter with 3-digit terabytes of storage, terabytes of RAM, and 3-digit CPUs. Unless I win the lottery (and the safe withdraw rate on these investments are high enough), I won’t be getting any of this.

Try out open-source games too, not just the big corporate games. Space Station 14, OpenTTD, Endless Sky, Naev, plenty of choices. Saw someone here rant about how the “videogames industry has become very rotten” and decided I’d point you to a non-rotten part of it.

• Endless Sky – open-source space game. I actually contributed to it back in the day; a date format option and a full-blown storyline about an author. Unfortunately the storyline is in development hell cause I lost motivation to work on it.
• OpenTTD – really awesome, with NewGRFs and mods you can have a somewhat “realistic” rail experience (as in, using actual real-life trains. Obviously a pixel game isn’t the most “realistic” with graphics)
• Mindustry
• Pioneer Space Sim
