To me, and apparently the Greeks!
It is not known whether the aeolipile was put to any practical use in ancient times, and if it was seen as a pragmatic device, a whimsical novelty, an object of reverence, or some other thing.

Do we need insider info to realise that the islands are heavily inspired from TotK (not BotW). Like, no shit bro. I know math.
I have no idea about teamblind, but I take any forum where you can be traced back to your person and put your personal career at stake with a grain of salt. And if it’s anonymous, my confidence plunges hard. Idk, I’ll look it up since I didn’t know that the source was seemingly to be trusted, thanks for the info.

I highly doubt that’s the case, we knew that this was supposed to be a prequel to BDO, then it’s own story but coop, then offline. That’s what’s been publicly known for years. That this was because of internal restructuring, sure, there’s no way it got so delayed otherwise, but the reports say things like the story being defined like a week before launch. That’s not how voice acting and development works.
Those 4chan-esque insider reports about how the story was supposed to be are weird, given that in BDO there’s a desert in the title too, yet the desert zone and the reason for the name was dropped years after the original launch, so as horrible as a strategy for a game story it is, it’s not unheard of from Pearl Abyss to release a game with a cool name and then in a future expansion to actually release lore.
I knew this game was gonna be basically Black Desert Offline: zero story, good exploration, good combat, bs controls, tons of busywork content. What’s sad is that the amount of hype this got has attracted a lot of people that come to the game without knowing what it was about.

To be fair to them, the BDO control scheme is just as alien as the CD one. Them not learning in the successor is not the same as vive coding it, and vibe coding wasn’t a thing when BDO released.
In any case, I agree, no idea how that scheme passed any kind of preliminary check. What’s worse is that what we got is apparently a revised version after reviewer feedback, so it was worse even.
I’m itching to buy the game once they patch some UI improvements, I refuse right now out of principle.

You are being extremely rude to a person that was beloved in the town. The hate was not from the fellow neighbours, was internationally. If you wanna criticise some one criticise the priest in change of the church that gave her permission to do so.
The priest even attempted to cover the painting to save her of the hate, in proof that he still was wanting to protect her, but the mayor of the town decided not to, since the amount of tourism actually brought money to the town.

So? She had permission to do it. The hate she received was completely unjustified

In fact, the “white” race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.
The “race” questionnaire has Egypt as “white”, so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be “white”. Just based on the questionnaire.
Dunno, weird. I still don’t understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Latino means from Latin America, meaning “the part of the Americas where people talk languages derived from Latin”. Brazilian is derived from Portuguese, which in turn comes from Latin, so yeah the term tracks.
Hispanic is derived from the Spanish term “Hispano hablante” (spanish speaking), so it only describes Spanish speaking countries.
Regardless, some people might take offence with the Hispanic term due to its derogatory use in the US and that’s why they prefer the “Latino” term. I’m not gonna challenge their preference, it’s better to use what each prefers.
Hope this helps.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Are proper Spaniards, people actually from Spain … Hispanic?
None that I know would consider that that term describes them, neither do I. And I’m from Spain, so I know quite a bit of Spaniards.
The word hispanic is used in “hispanohablante”, which is a word to describe countries or communities that speak Spanish outside of Spain, naturally.
However, when talking about “hispanohablante” (spanish speaking) communities in Europe for example, the term doesn’t distinguish between South Americans or Spaniards, so idk. It’s just weird to think of us as Spanish speaking people, we are in Spain, of course we speak Spanish. Duh.

The second one. The “hold my beer” is an expression used to describe a situation where you would be drinking, and you would be asking someone to hold your drink so you can do something.
It can technically be the first one but… That would be a wordplay on the usually meaning of the format.

D2 resurrected is the remaster. Infernal edition is the warlock DLC. The remaster was released some years ago and as much as I hate blizzard it’s decent-ish. It doesn’t support more ofc so it has no use for me but it’s what it is. Infernal edition is trash.

Paid class DLC that has no new story and people are getting hyped over it? Disappointing…
Guys, there’s plenty D2 mods, no need to buy the new Kool-aid from the sexual assault studio.

You are the one implying that it’s enforced toxic positivity. It’s not.
I’m disagreeing with you perfectly fine, and I can block/report toxic people too.
While I agree with you that the concept of forced toxic positivity is bad, I don’t see the implication that blocking downvotes is it.
You downvote either when you disagree with a comment, which is a soft censorship and I don’t really like that, or when the other user is being an asshole, in which case the proper tool is the block/report, not downvoting.
If you disagree with a comment you can either respond or ignore, I feel like downvoting is a soft censorship that creates an unnecessary bias on new readers.
In any case, feel free to have your opinion that blocking downvotes sucks, but please don’t say that it’s forcing toxic positivity, that’s not true.

Oh, so you are actually implying that blahaj has an unhealthy mentality too since we don’t have downvoting?
Bruh.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 1 month ago:
Blahaj has then disabled too, and I’m sure there’s more.
I actually engage in more disagreements now because I don’t have the easy down button. I’m pretty anti downvote now tbh.
I wouldn’t imply that the unhealthyness of hexbear is due to the disabled downvoting though, and I’m sure you aren’t either, but just to be clear.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 1 month ago:
Ignore, block, report. Maybe leave a comment so others that join have an anchor to read.
Idk, it’s not the end of the world.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 1 month ago:
There are some communities which have downvotes disabled, blahaj is one of them. I don’t know how many downvotes you have and I don’t care anymore. It’s way more interesting to engage. Also, since I’m on blahaj I comment and upvote much more. Downvotes kill discussion.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 1 month ago:
I disliked not being able to downvote when I moved to blahaj, but I kinda love it now. If I like the content I upvote, if I dislike it not I either respond (not for them really but for other readers), tag them or block/report. I upvote much more than before now.
If the comment isn’t deserving a block/report, is there any merit to downvote them really? If they are assholes just block/report, and if you just disagree, you can either respond in good faith or ignore them.
You either downvote because you disagree, which is a soft censorship since you are lowering the visibility of the comment you disagree, or you downvote because they are assholes, when you should have blocked/reported them to actually eliminate that comment if it’s actually bad.
Downvotes offer nothing of value.

Have they finally released screen sharing in ts6? I gotta say that the development of that project is pretty comical. Radio silence with the only communication being the community manager shitting on discord every other day while giving no updates on their own product.
Weird vibes.

Voice chat isn’t inherently costly to host, usually the server acts as a broker and then people connect P2P. Do you remember jitsi? It was used as an alternative to zoom during covid, it was a webpage like Google meet where you opened a room, and people joined with the link. Actually under the good the first one that joined the room acted as a host so all voice communications never reached jitsi’s servers.
Jitsi still exists btw, although I understand that a more integrated solution like matrix is preferable. Matrix IS the federated discord-like solution, although last time I read about it it had some issues with scalability and the typical foss Dev drama.

I work remote and in my context a quick call is always a video call, which tbh feels low key nice to interact with coworkers.
Usually they are having an issue and need to share the screen, or are showing me a document they prepared and are explaining their reasoning for feedback, or I had an idea for their issue and I wanted to explain them with some pseudocode… I much prefer quick “calls” where I can show my screen than text, presenting ideas and hearing feedback is sooo much better (not only faster but better) if you can see the face of the person you are working with.
