Gaming@beehaw.org•Halo: Master Chief Collection is an absolute broken mess
2·3 years agoConsider reinstalling it. Delete all settings and what not. Possibly reset your entire system if need be.
These are not common problems with this collection of games.

Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•Can someone explain Asteroid City to me?English
2·3 years agoI’ve found his movies to mean different thing to each viewer. Sometimes I find a new meaning in the stories each time I watch. I haven’t seen this one yet but I’ve seen all of the others. Personally I’ve liked fantastic mr fox the best. So many different feels.
I think it defeats the purpose of his storytelling to have someone write it out for you.
That doesn’t pass for poutine here. Don’t generalize.

Jerboa@lemmy.ml•Grouping of communities for easier news on one topic
18·3 years agoI asked this question last well. Someone said it’s been noted and in the works with other decisions.
I was an early buyer of the game when it just was on Ubisoft and love every second of it. Recently I’ve had problems with my PCs gpu and am unable to play it on that and ubisoft launcher doesn’t work well on my steam deck. So it’s sadly been awhile since playing it.
I got hooked on Steep and i think that they kept the feel of snowboarding pretty similar to that.

Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•Landscape plant alternative to plumbago (Plumbago auriculata)
1·3 years agoTurks cap is far larger than the plumbago.
Anise hyssop is native and will get you similar height. Gregg’s Mistflower. Salvia greggii. Rock Penstemon. Plenty more options.
Check out Texas Smartscape to help you out.

Gaming@beehaw.org•looking for rpg podcast recommendationsEnglish
4·3 years agoDungeons and Daddies Sitcom D&D Dragon Friends (They have Beef Babes podcasts on their twitch page with a backlog of videos too)
Most podcasts in this genre are too low production for me to keep paying attention. I’ve gone through at least 50 different ones.

Headphones@lemmy.film•Recommendations for closed back over-ear headphonesEnglish
2·3 years agoI’ve had the Sennheiser 599s (Open Back) for a long time now. I’ve always thought they were quite comfort. My ears tend to get sore if I wear tighter headphones or if a pit puts pressure in an odd spot it hurts. So these Sennheisers seem to have gotten the fit just right for me at least. They have a closed back version (it might be the 598s). Sound is also great, full range. I think the base is on the weaker side but that doesn’t matter much for me as I use them for video and audiobook/podcasting. You can always find Sennheisers on sale online.
I’m also a huge fan of my Sony wh1000xm3. Holds a charge for a long time (as long as you remember to turn them off when not using them.) Bluetooth connection works through walls and across my yard. Blocks a lot of noise. But I know some snobs aren’t into it’s popularity.

World News@beehaw.org•Western US States Are Turning to Cloud Seeding to Fight Historic DroughtsEnglish
21·3 years agoIt would be better long term to actually legislate the farmers and commercial water usage instead of let them do whatever the hell they want.

Food and Cooking@beehaw.org•What are your favorite cookbook/blogs?English
3·3 years agoJust one cookbook is my go to. I take tidbits from recipes to mix I not o my recipes for Miso Ramen / Stock and trying new Asian dishes I just learn about.
Bon Apetit for variations on recipes. I use the cooked butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe lost from here. I used to grab Brad Leone recipe sheet before me busted out (get his cookbook if you can.)
Budget Bytes for when you want to make meals for an entire week or empty your pantry.

Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•Suggestions wanted: low cost ground cover options for a renterEnglish
2·3 years agoIf you reside in the south, check out Texas Smartscapes. I haven’t looked at it in awhile but they had a lot of southern nurseries working together to provide good research on native and low maintenance plants of all types. Would provide resources for your climate zone if you’re not in the US.

Politics@beehaw.org•"76 percent of conservative Republicans said colleges affect the country negatively"English
2·3 years agoYou’re right. I just tend to see educated folks as liberal in my day to day. That’s my bias.

Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•[Resource] Plant species toolkit
2·3 years agoIs this strictly an edible gardening matrix? Right off the bat I noticed some commercial landscaping plants not included (even Amelanchier arborea not on there). I’m a landscape designer and for those looking at adding color and structure into their gardening repertoire, I’d be interested in adding some categories for say regional nursery accessibility or brands for types of plants. Example Midwest you have proven winners(everyone can access), christiansens, cottage gardens, Monrovia (everyone can access), Weekes, David Austin (everyone can access), etc.
Could increase usability but also might make it too complex. Food for thought.

2·3 years agoAlso lyre leaf sage is a great spreader in woodland edge type environments. Native to the south. Does fantastic in part shade. Spreads like wildflower. Can be walked on. Blooms a nice blue color. Weed whip it when it’s finished blooming in the spring.

1·3 years agoThyme. Get a couple 4” pots and in a year you will have %300 growth. I have a creeping thyme , lemon thyme, and a mystery larger leafed thyme growing in large pots and though some of my beds in Michigan. Does really well in full sun. Doesn’t mind part shade. Animals don’t touch it because of the heavy scent. I’ve used it between flagstones in paths (Landscape Designer) and in Texas have seen it used for light walking traffic.
Over winter pay leaves stay on and get a dark green/reddish hue. They aren’t evergreen but without agitation tend to keep their leaves on. After awhile the stems tend to build up and create a low thicket like structure.
Other options are spreading sedums like Angelina mixed with other ground covers like creeping Jenny, wandering jew, wild violas/violets, frog fruit. My personally favorites in Texas were native sedge grasses (you mow them once a year to spread the seed tips.) Some great Sedge growers/researchers in Oklahoma region.
If you don’t go with an evergreen type plant, people tend to be concerned about tracking mud in over winter and early spring. Try to mix several ground cover plants in (violas and violets are winter growers in the south, sedge grows year long, some ground covers are fast spring growers. Mix and match where you can.)
It’s fine for now. But I very much would prefer a general gaming community for major topics that anybody familiar or not with games can discuss, but also will need more specific communities for discussing:
PCGaming (including what components are a steal or required theses days, games that are only on Pc or to be ported,etc)
SteamDeck (just coming out last year it has daily information that needs to be passed around to users) l
TableTopgames (convention talk, deals, reissues of old games making comebacks, what games for party sizes, best snacks, etc).
And many more communities that aren’t just for me.
All of these communities end up getting lost in a larger group like Gaming. Cross posting is not a symptom of having too many communities. It is a symptom of moderating gone wrong and (for reddits case) karma farming.
Is your profile a Pac-Man influenced flyers logo?

Politics@beehaw.org•"76 percent of conservative Republicans said colleges affect the country negatively"English
21·3 years agoThis is speculation but:
Higher education is typically liberal leaning. Liberals tend to be less religious and far more free thinking.
Conservatives are far more religious and illiterate/less educated. Conservatism as it is now is a minority to progressive ideologies (frequently outvoted in populist polls).
To get more power they need more religious and less educated voters to sway with propaganda/media talking heads. Higher ups are certainly pushing the narrative of private education (run by unlicensed teachers; teaching selective conservative values in textbooks) and it’s parroted by every republican voter and their mothers.
An uneducated voter base will equally vote against their own interest. They just don’t know any better. I’ve seen relatives (grandma with Native American heritage vote republican; anti women’s rights/anti Native American rights/anti social programs) vote to harm themselves because fox told them to. Insanity.
