It’s not just that one unfortunately. It’s likely at around 100.000 deserters now, and half of that were from 2024 alone.

I’m not questioning that, I just am very worried how this will continue - especially after the orange toddler gets into office.

Well, they also face quite some serious desertion issues at the moment too.

I find the combat & flight model the biggest weak point of it to be honest, and certainly light years away from that of Elite Dangerous.

The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality.

This is kind of par for the course for LTT. They somehow go the dumbest route in doing things and then wonder why things don’t work or break. I’d argue that most of the gaming related immutable distros should provide a decent out of the box experience, simply because that’s what they’re supposed to do. Maybe not quite as streamlined and fancy looking as SteamOS but functionality wise it should be fine and even more functional / flexible. Though, I’m sure he’ll then cry about additional ways to install things that are too complicated, like Distrobox, ignoring his own advice of just sticking to app stores like Discover, which somehow is only valid for SteamOS.

Where did they “express glee over their corpses”?

More game devs should be like the devs of Marvel Rivals when it comes to emulation

The whole pvp / combat section was utterly confusing too. I don’t think I care about this at all. The beginning sounded great though, like Starfield without a plot and more focus on exploration and base building. Doesn’t sound like they have ship interiors though.

Freelancer is very arcadey and extremely dated.

Starmade had a lot of great ideas and potential, but then just got abandoned in a half assed and buggy state.

Any guess who “they” may refer to? Commanders? Generals? Politicians in the Kreml?

People who murder, rape, torture and plunder. They all made their choice, even if that choice was complacency. In the end, they became aggressors, and consequently taken out, as they should. The moment you cross the border into Ukraine, you’re an invader.

It behaves that way because we want it to behave that way. It’s a complete non-story.

That’s why they’re popular for chat roleplaying scenarios. They’re just good at bullshitting to make you believe they sound somewhat real. I doubt word prediction based “AI” could ever gain any sort of sentience and actually think for itself - assuming that’s even possible at all with tech. If it is, it’s going to be through different methods than this.

You think the pandemic shutdown was simple?

Compared to the consequences that await us? Yes.

I don’t know what you being an introvert has to do with this, or why you feel the need to constantly push those thin veiled, passive aggressive insults around. It’s not a matter of you sitting at home instead of socializing, it’s a matter of degrowth. Our economic model does not work. Our mode of transportation do not work. Our consumerism does not work. Our constant need for growth, does not work!

And if you haven’t noticed it yet, fascism is already on the rise, and will grow further the more climate refugees knock on our doors. But I guess when Frontex ends up shooting them in the thousands at the borders you’ll just acknowledge that with mild interest as well.

People like you are quite literally proving my point and just reaffirm my stance. You all don’t care, and you do not understand where we’re headed.

No, stop the mental gymnastics to make yourself feel better.

The downturn and consequent emissions drop during the pandemic very clearly showed that it is indeed that simple if we’re all committed enough. Because that trajectory, if we would’ve kept it up until 2035, would’ve pretty much exactly landed us on our emission targets for that date.

The truth of the matter is that no one is ready for that, not corpos, not politicians who want to get (re-)elected, and sure as hell not voters - that much is very clear.

And to be clear, I have a much easier time since I stopped caring. I do my part and that’s it, so that at least my conscience remains clean. But if humanity collectively wants to erase itself then be my guest. I’m not stopping you, because I simply can’t. And how people act nowadays I am not even sure I want to.
