survivalmachine,

Erm, I thought kbin was open source? Can’t anybody fork it if they have a problem with it? This sounds like a whiny nothingburger.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA’s next flagship astrophysics mission, set to launch by May 2027.

Once launches, it will allow astronomers to observe the universe like never before. In celebration of Black History Month, let’s get to know some Black scientists and engineers, past and present, whose contributions will allow Roman to make history.

survivalmachine,

You can tell you’re either an IT guy or a professional skateboarder if you have pockets big enough to hold both a nalgene bottle and a coffee tumbler.

Though it makes me sad to think we needed to make “hopepunk” a word; how is having hope a “punk” thing? :|

It’s punk af. Punk is a leftist/inclusive/anti-authoritarian movement that focuses on self-reliance and direct activism to get shit done. A lot of the general punk scene has been all over the board on their optimism/pessimism about our ability to affect meaningful change. Recently, subgenres of punk have sprung up that are very much still punk, but focus on one category of change or have a more optimistic outlook. Solarpunk is a branch of the punk movement with a green focus. Hopepunk focuses on can optimistic outlook with traditional punk values. Fashion-wise and music-wise, they tend to lean towards greens/blues or brighter/lighter colors or more folk-punk or upbeat tunes.

Weird Barbie would definitely qualify as hopepunk.

Just like any other sub-genre, though, if it rubs you the wrong way, it’s generally fine to just refer to it as the parent genre. Hopepunk is still punk, so feel free to call it that if it works better for you.

survivalmachine,

Gave up on gaming in general. Moved to Linux back in October. Had issues getting my games to play because of various issues between Nvidia 535/545 and Wayland, Xorg, or the steam/proton/lutris/aagl/hgl things I tried. Then work got too busy and I’ve put gaming on the back burner 'til I have more time to troubleshoot it (hopefully with new Nvidia/Wayland packages).

survivalmachine,

You might give it a try – it may just work for you. Not everybody has the same issues, and I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out later when I have time to troubleshoot it. This is just a busy time of year for me, so as long as my work stuff works, I’m good, and gaming has to sit on the backburner for a bit.

survivalmachine,

This is only using on-screen information, but making it more visible? Why is this a cheat, exactly? Was that one guy cheating in the shooter game where his cat would paw at the screen when it noticed invisible people moving with a Predator-like shimmer effect?

if i had a nickel for every time... angielski

…a late 2000s futuristic FPS game (with dubious status as an FPS) introducing never-before-seen movement mechanics that are used to their fullest potential featuring an athletic but non-sexualized female protagonist, had a radio-friendly song titled “Still Alive” playing over the end credits, i’d have two nickels. which...

survivalmachine,

You’re free to pronounce it however you want, but considering it’s named after a famous mythological character, you may get funny looks as if you referred to similar mythological characters as “Jod”, “Hey-zeus”, “Bud-hah”, or “Hurk-yoolz”.

survivalmachine,

I feel like World of Goo holds the title for the game I have legally acquired the most times of any game, between purchases, giveaways, and bundles on various gaming platforms and bundle sites. Can’t wait for a sequel!

Well, I wasn’t thinking about my mother while imagining this scenario, but now I am. Thanks, blackluster117, thanks.
