Game journalist are scum. They don’t play game they only attack people who play them. When game journalists are outraged about something it’s most likely because people are mad at a company and the journalists have to rush to the companies defense because they are paid.

Penguincoder,

they only attack people

Ironic.

Attack the problem, not the person. Yet here we are. YEET.

PrivateNoob, do gaming w The disturbing online misogyny of Gamergate has returned – if it ever went away

Tbf I have never looked at Assassin’s Creed as a historically accurate game. It can really be only called accurate in broad terms probably. (Only played Black Flag and Odyssey tho).

She seems to bring up pretty great points, like harrassing her, complaining about not hot enough greek god girl, but I’m interested about the other side.

Also she worked at Kotaku in the past, so listening to these gamergate people too could help to make a throught decision overall

If only Club Penguin would get resurrected.

Article mentions the death of flash was a nail in Neopets’ coffin, but they don’t mention the open source Ruffle project which resuscitated Neopets’ flash content.

I had it on my bingo card for 20 years and just took it off :(

We’re getting a Magi Nation revival too. It’s a good year.

My wife occasionally jumps back on, and it’s always interesting to see how little it’s changed.

Zahille7,

I like it. Like a time capsule for the internet.

I mean, it’s legitimately a bright spot.

But with November of this year likely heralding the legitimacy of fascism in the US, it’s incumbent upon us to try enjoy the silly shit before that comes along.

Telorand,

You speak as if it’s already decided. It’s incumbent upon us to enjoy the silly shit and do our damnedest to prevent the fascist rise.

Go play some Neopets, and stop listening to news orgs for a while (you’ve likely already decided who you’re supporting, anyway), especially the ones who trade in the 24h News Cycle; they have a vested interest in selling rage, not nuanced journalism. Hope eats into their profit margins.

You speak as if it’s already decided.

I think it is. Trump won in 2016 because people were largely impoverished and Democrats didn’t do anything about it. The impoverishment is worse now.

BUT, that does make it more important to enjoy the silly shit. Absolutely.

Telorand,

I think Trump won, because people underestimated him and thought it was somebody else’s problem to go vote.

We will have to agree to disagree, plus, I don’t want to derail this Gaming community into a political debate. Enjoy your games! If you see a golden Shoyru, it might be mine.

Fair enough. Enjoy your awesome Neopet!

33 times the diameter, volume, or mass?

Nm, it was in the actual headline. The mass is the answer.

Shdwdrgn, do astronomy w Northern lights predicted in US and UK on Monday night in wake of solar storms

But the solar flare was yesterday, if there was going to be any good viewing of auroras it would have been last night, or more likely a couple nights ago (from US time zones). The peak of it occurred shortly after lunch yesterday and it’s calmed down back to normal today.

mihnt,

I mean, these are highly funded government agencies reporting this from both sides of the planet. You know something they don’t?

Shdwdrgn,

The agencies were correct about the information, however unlike OP apparently I know how to adjust for time zone differences. Monday morning in Australia is still Sunday in the US, so yes that would have been the correct time for the warning. But this article was posted here a day after the event occurred, all of the warnings expired, and the Kp index had dropped back down to more moderate levels. At the peak of the event the Kp index reached around 8.0. When I posted my comment yesterday it was sitting at 1.66, well below the threshold for seeing auroras anywhere in the continental US. If you had any chance of seeing auroras here it would have had to be Sunday night, not Monday night.

It feels like this has happened a fair few times this year. Is the sun entering a period of heightened activity?

Complete cloud coverage predicted in UK, as per usual, until perhaps June.

Glowstick, (edited ) do astronomy w Northern lights predicted in US and UK on Monday night in wake of solar storms

Anyone got a map? Saying “as far south as the midwest” is a pretty useless descriptor of where this might be seen

EDIT

Krrygon,

Thanks for posting the map! Looks like here in central washington, I am out of luck haha. Better luck next time, I s’pose!

Glowstick,

The red line is the “view line” so you might see a glimpse way off on the horizon

stoy,

I have the Aurora Pro app on my iPhone, it sends me alerts when the forecast predicts northern lights in my area (around stockholm)
