politics @lemmy.world•‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter sends shockwaves across the globe
1·1 month agoNorway? More like Snoreway… Kenya’s where the giraffes are, and the zebra; Kenya believe it?
I used to develop code for reading barcodes, and dealing with pixel aspect ratio was always annoying. It was one of those cases where 99.9% of images were square, but that tail always made for weird cases that had to be accounted for. Good times.
Looks almost like a sandhill crane, or other type of crane… wonder what bird it is.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried because of a video game?

Outer Wilds’ ending was, to me, a beautiful meditation on confronting loss, the ending of things, and coming to peace with it.
Shadowbringers was along a similar theme. It was interesting emphasizing with Emet, and yet still realizing he’s wrong (“cool motive, still interdimensional genocide”). It was a combination of feeling unbearably sad for him, and yet thankful for stopping him. Also, seeing Ardbert during the camera pan in the Crystarium at the end.
Endwalker’s final walk had to have been designed in a lab to generate waterworks. What an experience.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology"?
2·8 months agoMan, I love this guy’s videos. He’s got the most pleasantly chill voice (think Australian Bob Ross) and shows a great mastery of the things he makes. Highly recommended channel.

Number 1 would have to be:
- Triosphere (prog/power?). Ida is utterly amazing.
Some others I didn’t see in this thread are:
- Ebony Ark (prog/power)
- To Mera (prog)
- Without Face (prog/goth metal?)

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An argument starter: which of these is the "second set of 4 digits in base 10"? (Body)
10·1 year agoI’d argue lexicographically it would be 0000 and 0001 for the first two sets of 4 digits. If you’re looking for combinations w/o replacement, it would be 0123 and 0124.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Final Fantasy 14's battle designer admits they went a little overboard on streamlining fights, especially for melee: 'Our policy of reducing gameplay-related frustrations was sometimes taken too far'English
3·1 year agoI’m exceedingly loving the combat design in Dawntrail, so I guess they took some good lessons from EW. That said, I do think CoD P2 is a bit too difficult for what they were aiming for. Two phases of P1 difficulty (mostly personal responsibility & quick reactions) or even very slightly harder, would be absolutely perfect for PF.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who have lost weight, how has your experience been?
81·1 year agoBack in August '22, I weighed about 270 lbs @ 6’0 (122.5 kg, 183 cm). I realized this was dangerously unhealthy so I asked my doctor if there was any drug options for helping me change habits. As my insurance didn’t cover weight loss, the doc opted for Phentermine. It drastically cut my food cravings and with exercise I’ve been losing weight steadily since. Down to 215 lbs now and the physical benefits are great: no more constant GIRD, can bend over without discomfort, etc.
It is funny though, just finally barely breaking the obese barrier (30 bmi) and people say “and you still want to lose more weight??” My goal is 180.
Edit: As an aside, how fucked is it that insurance companies don’t cover weight loss; wouldn’t covering it reduce their costs over time?
Starsector is amazing, even though buying it on the website made me wonder if the storefront was made in the 90s.
