Lemmy Today

Driving on this bad boy tomorrow, hold my turkey

That is all. Carry on

If you've ever played Lemmings and wanted to take a more hands-on approach, Moons of Darsalon may be worth a try. Coming to PS5 and PS4 on 6th February next year, the game has you playing as a little astronaut who must rescue all the others in each level.

When you find characters, they'll follow along behind you, and it's your job to get them all back to base safely. However, you're actively involved in this action platformer, needing to dispatch aliens, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles. You'll also make use of large vehicles and blow holes in the destructible environments.

The art and animation is particularly strong here, with what seem to be 3D models converted into this sort of gritty, pixelated style. The jury's still out on whether it's fun to play, although the Steam version stands with a Very Positive rating, so it seems promising.

I've been nothing about a whole lot of nothing these past few days.

Yesterday, I overspent on my food budget. Today, I underspent to compensate. Very reasonable. I wasn't even hungry at all today, quite honestly I didn't even notice I didn't eat extra. Admittedly, I had 4 oranges for a snack, but that's not even particularly notable in my usual routine. I think I can go some days without buying anything at all. That feels nice.

Hey! We're trying something new and potentially fun. Links to non-wikipedia wiki pages are allowed on Tuesdays as long as they follow the other sidebar rules. Happy inaugural Casual Tuesday!

It might not work, and if it's deeply unpopular we can just abandon the idea... or it might be better to contain them in a Casual Tuesday Megathread and leave the rest of the community pure Wikipedia like all the other days.

Feel free to comment here or in the stickied post by dantheclamman if you have opinions about non-wiki Wikis one day a week.

IDF soldiers from Division 91 sparked international backlash after filming themselves staging a mock Christian wedding ceremony inside a Maronite church in the Lebanese village of Deir Mimas. The footage, which the soldiers shared on social media, shows them performing a mock wedding between two soldiers, who later wrestle on the church floor while others laugh.

"What if this happened in a synagogue? They'd be screaming 'antisemitism,'" said Wadie Abu Nassar, coordinator of the Holy Land Christian Forum.

The Vatican has reportedly condemned the incident as "outrageous" and sought verification of the video's authenticity.

A Buddhist monastery in Thailand is under investigation after authorities discovered more than 40 bodies on site which were allegedly used for meditation practices, police said Sunday.

Forty-one cadavers were found at Pa Nakhon Chaibovorn monastery in Thailand's Phichit province on Saturday, a senior police officer told AFP.

"The bodies were accompanied with death and body donation certificates," he said, adding that so far no charges have been filed.

He said police were reaching out to relatives of the deceased to confirm that the bodies were donated willingly.

...

The search came days after police discovered 12 bodies at another monastery in neighboring Kamphaeng Phet province on Wednesday, according to Thai local media.

The head of the Phichit province monastery, Phra Ajarn Saifon Phandito, told Thai PBS television channel that the use of corpses was part of a "meditation technique" he developed.

"Many of the people who come to learn are abbots and all these monks... pass on the knowledge," he said. "I don't know how many have adopted my technique."

He also told another local TV station that "practitioners meditate in pavilions that hold coffins with the human remains."

Kom Pattarakulprasert, director of the Phichit Office of Buddhism, told the Bangkok Post that the inclusion of bodies in meditation was unusual.

"I asked Phra Ajarn Saifon Phandito if there were any cadavers and was told that there were none," Kom told the outlet. "But when journalists discovered the 41 bodies, I was taken aback by the conflicting stories. I will discuss whether this practice is appropriate with the local head of the clergy."

and, are there specialties that require more dedication than others?

Separately, conservative political commentator and activist Robby Starbuck has been going after corporate DEI policies, calling out individual companies on the social media platform X. Several of those companies have subsequently announced that they are pulling back their initiatives, including Ford, Harley-Davidson, Lowe's and Tractor Supply.

But Walmart, which employs 1.6 million workers in the U.S., is the largest one to do so.
