News@lemmy.world•Is Paramount zeroing in on Texas amid California legal battle?
41·5 days agoI’m not sure I agree this is an awful location if you’re going to make a big studio campus. It’s not in Austin atm but it will be eventually (it’s currently surrounded) and 290/183 are useful veins. You say “outside Manor” like it’s also not ~10 miles from the capitol and downtown. In LA terms that’s basically nothing.
That said, as an eastsider, yeah fuck the billionaires generally and the Ellisons specifically.
Trans? More power to you.
CIA? Go fuck yourself.
Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year…
Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.
If you’ve read all the OG Dune content, I say go for it. They aren’t at the same level, but they’re… Fine. Get it from the library or wherever and try it. Go in with low expectations and possibly get pleasantly surprised, or never pick them up again.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in fundingEnglish
9·10 days agoTurns out I liked the game only because of what I thought the game could be instead of what it actually was.
I never played Star Citizen, but this is kinda where I ended up with No Man’s Sky. I played it at launch and again earlier this year and there’s definitely some fun to be had but nothing fits together right, or feels fully realized. NMS lost a coherent vision of the game at some point and eventually it just made me itch to play better games that were more focused.

movies@piefed.social•New Poster for Re-Release of all five "Hunger Games" MoviesEnglish
2·11 days agoFuck a movie, we need a Xena sequel series. Get Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor back to pass the torch to a new generation of ass kicking women.
Ideally, both of them could be regulars as well, I just don’t think they’d be down to do the fights anymore.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Is this is a crime in your country?
7·11 days agoTotally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Just woke up, so I'm at about a 1
2·20 days ago3 all day, every day. I can no longer sit normally, I can only lounge.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•What is your favourite Pokemon of all time?English
6·22 days agoMy favorite of all time is Psyduck because I identify with him and frequently have to control myself from freaking out when minor things go wrong.
I also like Squirtle and Turtwig lines.
Pokopia is easily my favorite game in the series too, just because it lets you work together instead of battling, and it made me appreciate some others like Ditto or Piplup.
It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Intel licenses Atom-class x86 cores to startup, firm reportedly sharing RTL, enabling customer to build its own custom processors based on x86 general-purpose coresEnglish
6·28 days agoCompete with AMD as well. They don’t license the designs directly, but the reason they’ve dominated the last couple generations of consoles is they’re willing to do custom work where Intel traditionally was more “take it or leave it”

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikimedia staff in the US have formed a trade union, but the foundation has refused to recognise itEnglish
4·29 days agoUh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…
I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.
My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.
I like this comic but Beetle Moses needs to actually look at a tortoise, haha.
Their arms and legs don’t pop out of holes in their shells, their shells are more like wraps around their torsos (it’s a strapless dress, not a onesie). Also those scutes (panels of the shell) are fucked.
… Why yes, I’m fun at parties, why do you ask?

movies@piefed.social•First Poster for ‘Ebenezer’ Starring Johnny Depp. Directed by Ti West, Co-starring Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Charlie Murphy, with Tramell Tillman & Ian McKellen.English
15·1 month agoIt does seem like a parody. Isn’t the backstory of Ebenezer Scrooge throwing his life and relationships away for profit? I can see some opportunities for showing how stupid that is, but without the epiphany moment of A Christmas Carol, will he just end the story as a bitter old man?
Or is this just a retelling of the whole story at which point it’s yet another remake that doesn’t need to be made…

Games@lemmy.world•What is the smartest non boss enemy in a video gameEnglish
8·1 month agoI’m not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is
If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn’t have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Fran Drescher was the victim of a brutal rape.English
26·1 month agoI’m with you. She’s especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she’s a complete 90s fashion icon.
Her later work as president of the Screen Actor’s Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.







This sucks, caught her work in LA and DC and her walk in exhibits are phenomenal.
