  Honestly I would try reaching out to some local or regional news networks to see if they want to run your story. I’m sure they’ll love also having the video because they can show it during the segment. It sucks that it has to suddenly become a PR matter for the companies involved for them to give a shit.

  This is going in my top 5 for sure.

  Oh nice! Do you know the name of the launcher? All my searches just bring up ornithopter rockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hah, so true! I haven’t heard or seen anything about a portable rocket so I think you’re correct. The only heavy weapons (which won’t help against vehicles) are essentially the big machine gun and flamethrower, the same ones the heavy NPC’s have.

  “This silk used to lift the prey, it’s very strong, comparable to steel, but it is as elastic as the normal silk you would use to make clothes”

  That’s crazy, and awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m about 85 hrs in and will probably stop playing around 100. I’m playing solo btw, and it’s been fun but it feels like there’s no end game for me. Even as a group I would question if the end game is even worth it. All I have left to do is unlock all the skills (but there’s no challenging and engaging PvE content to justify it), and build a big base for funsies, which is what I’m doing now.

  They need challenging repeatable PvE content to keep people like me engaged, or rewarding pvp gameplay. I was hoping the Deep Desert would be more akin to something like Rust, but really all they’ve done it taken the last tier of resource materials, spread them out over a very boring and empty map, and force you to be pvp flagged to get it.

  I only browse Lemmy on Voyager, and when I click on a post image to show it “full screen” it shows a caption/text description of the image. I assumed this was the Alt Text the OP was referring to 🤷🏻‍♂️

  Exactly. Your game is bad if I have to look up how to do something as simple as equip a weapon. Your game is bad if I have to run around like an idiot for 15+ minutes after every death before having the chance of doing something enjoyable again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t tuned into wresting since the NWO/Wolf Pack days, but I just assumed it was the next generation of naive kids keeping the business alive. In my mind the audience comprises of young boys (mostly) who can still believe it’s ‘real’, their parents who throw money at it because it makes their kid happy, and then of course the fringe set of “wrestling is totally real” guys who should know better but choose not to.

  Is it just me or do the smokes, lighter, ashtray and pack of cigs in those pics look photoshopped to anyone else?

  I first noticed the one in her hand and it looks off. And the stream of smoke coming off that cig looks fake AF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last channel rule⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember having to crack the PIN code to access the locked channels (which would just give me access to things like skinemax late at night). I faked sick one day to stay home and set to work. I think there was a short timeout after a few failed attempts, so you only go so fast. It only took 852 tries but I got it! It was 0852, which was just a straight line up the keypad 😑

  To young me the most interesting part of that show was the beginning and seeing Mulder (David Duchovny) in something outside of the X-Files

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Either lack of critical thinking or driven by greed.

  You get the top to vote for you by ensuring they keep and/or increase their riches. That’s done by immediate things like tax cuts, or other long term strategies like cutting environmental protections and reducing the role of gov’t, allowing businesses to rape the planet and abuse their workforce as hard as possible to increase profits.

  As for the rest of his supporters, the “MAGA” crowd, they’re kept in line by keeping them stupid, allowing you to more easily feed them propaganda and influence their emotions to fit your needs. Religion teaches them to be subservient from an early age and take a back seat to a higher power, whether that be god or the charismatic talking head at the alter or on tv, all the while leeching as much money from them as possible without leaving them totally destitute. This helps explain why conservatives/religious turds continue to attack early education (less chance do them learning to think critically and question things), school lunch programs (hinder brain development), libraries (access to other ideas/beliefs), sex education and abortions (keeping those accidental pregnancies from being stopped, thereby ensuring the already uneducated and poor families continue to have kids they cannot support financially and give a good education to). It’s all very sinister when you look at the whole picture. It’s why I detest religion, not so much the concept and practicing of religion, but how evil men have turned it into a weapon, and exploiting the very people they pretend to care about. A lot of the evil they push is all done under the guise of religious beliefs/freedoms.

  Idk but I’m reminded of the 2002 adaptation of The Time Machine. One of the great achievements of our civilization was an advanced AI with all of our collective knowledge that you could converse with. Feels like our AI tech is on track to get there by the time we start dying off en mass lol

  Because some of us want a game from Valve that’s not competitive? There are literally thousands of us out here. Why do you even care?
