Boomer environmentalists finally making the jump to communism? Took 'em long enough.

Hexbear existed pre-federation as its own little isolated forum that developed a relatively-active userbase with relatively shared ideals. When federation came around, Hexbear was different enough that we couldn't enable it right away and it took much effort from the dev team here to "unfork" us. When federation was finally enabled, our culture clashed with other instances in several major ways:

  1. emojis were bugged and were enormous when viewed on any other instance
  2. our high activity and commonality of opinion made other instances think we were constantly botting or "brigading" (its legacy has been preserved in emoji form: brigading ), when in reality it was simply our users posting as they always have
  3. we have a whitelist of instances, and the mod team demands compliance with certain standards. Of particular note due to the current internet culture, for an instance to remain federated with us, they must not be willing to tolerate transphobia by their own userbase. This is a bar that most instances fail to pass.
  4. we really hate Biden, Harris, and the democrats more broadly for various valid reasons (currently the hot button topic is them carrying out a genocide in occupied Palestine), and libs really hate to hear how the "good guys" are themselves monsters, or seeing "Death to America" regularly.

Owen Jones is british IIRC, not really a dem.

Launch him with the next batch of starlink satellites.

That was actually a different anti-Elon post in July.

Got it, Israel attacked the USS Liberty first so the US is entitled to nuke Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Got it, Israel attacked Iran first so Iran is entitled to nuke Tel Aviv.

Supply Side Jesus did it because the people did not give enough of their money to the bourgeois.

Thanks! It was a lot of work. kel-bliss

Thanks, but I can't take all the credit; the actual pillar of smoke is built into the model at the toes. The rest of the squad is just standing on cool rocks, but I'm hoping that by using more resin bases it'll sell the illusion of flying around a tropical lake as well.

It's a shame how long it took for the Hawks (and other aspect warriors) to get a plastic kit. This is a third-party model (from artelw), and most of the rest of my force is as well. Ironically, I ordered these like a month before the new refresh was announced.

I believe it's mostly due to the amount of contaminants released, and Fukushima had a giant leak directly into the ocean.

 

Really came down to the wire to get this done before pride month was over, but, after many months, I'm finally happy with how it looks! This was supposed to be my "low-effort army", so much for that lmao.

 

If you click the "Request Invite" button on the storepage, you instantly get one.

Performance is dogshit for me, 30-ish FPS on all lowest settings (with DLSS off). Water doesn't even render.

The whole "disrupting packs with dung bombs" mechanic is also pretty lame imo; every couple minutes the monster leaves to go rejoin the pack and you have to do it again.

Undecided on the wound mechanic because I only did the first two hunts. Optimistically, this could be like the clutch claw but actually good.

 

The relationship between doing infinite damage and being able to see is dialectical.

 

So my old wireless Xbox 360 controller is kind of on its last legs, bad stick drift, thumbstick rubber starting to rub off, and I'm looking for a replacement. Would gladly just buy another 360 controller but they haven't made them in years.

Got an 8bitdo Ultimate earlier this year and it has not lasted. Out of the box, the thumbsticks started losing sensitivity in one or two directions after a few hours of play, but I could get around this by messing with the deadzones in the software. Not an ideal solution, since it lowered the resolution, but it worked.

But now it's got new and exciting problems that I can't work around. Sometimes the B button won't register at all. Sometimes the A button will press on its own. And my favorite, sometimes the entire controller just freezes and won't accept any input for seconds at a time.

I had a coworker recommend a GuliKit but the face buttons are backward and that's enough to put me off it.

Any advice?

Honestly doesn't seem like my thing but a neat enough concept that I thought I'd post it here.

Also somebody in the comments mentioned that the itch.io bundle for trans youth earlier this year had this game.

 

Was browsing the modlog and noticed this

 

It's good. Here's hoping Goodbye, Eri gets an adaptation some day.

 

Paint now has built-in AI image bullshit.

Death to Microsoft.

Interesting video, sadly the presenter is a frustrating liberal who refuses, whether out of sincere belief or optics concerns, to condemn NATO. Also uses fun phrases like "when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7th".

Edit: also the "call to action" at the end is laughable liberal claptrap. There is no stopping the military from doing something so long as the games industry exists under capitalism, because the military has INFINITE MONEY to tempt people into working for them.

 

ALL MY EARS, GONE all-my-apes-gone

 

Seems like there aren't a lot of typical Elden Ring dungeons, just overworld stuff and then bigger dungeons for the more important bosses. Performance is really bad so far.

Died to the Parade Lion while it was at 1HP, Freja secured the kill just before I timed out, hell yeah, I'll take it.
