An invented creation used to segment regions of the Earth in homebrew RPG campaigns :P
I guess it could be used in many different ways, but when I read it I thought of it in the context of a homebrew campaign’s lore (maybe ttrpg memes have corrupted my mind?)
Region code 0 (“Worldwide”) discs work in all regions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code
I thought Frozen Synapse’s ability to let you simulate your opponent’s moves was super cool - surprised I didn’t end up seeing it in more strategy games (obviously not so much applicable to the normal real-time stuff though!).
??? Why the hell did my link get turned into a link back to Fedia lmao
Yeah, she seems to hang around with HolostarsEN a bunch
Well, lop-eared rabbit rather than lopping off heads, but sure, whatever floats your boat.
Probably a quirk of having different software. I’m on Fedia which runs on mbin, as does kbin.run which MBM is on. You’re on lemmy, so I guess something was just handled differently for you (and most users!) vs kbin/mbin users.
FYI if you’re one of the people who just sees an image, the original includes a link to this:
Bummer. It’d be cool if there was customization available on how exactly the sorting parameters work. I imagine, for example, if the weighting for a user’s own sorting could be adjusted at their end, you could get Scaled (or something like it) to get you what you’re after. Probably a pretty niche thing compared to just making sure most users are happy with the sorting most of the time though.
Have you tried “Scaled” sorting? It was added to lemmy a couple (?) months ago and tries to solve the problem you’ve described of big communities drowning out the smaller ones in a subscription feed.
Cool idea, though I was surprised by the level of fidelity loss in the fountain example. I would’ve expected that to be a good case scenario for noise cancellation so maybe it just needs some more time to iterate and improve on its level of “false positive” removal.
SO comments are already CC-BY licensed (granted not -NC licensed, but still), but it doesn’t seem to have helped much.
Rise of Nations (originally released back in 2003) had/has some interesting ideas to reduce some of the busywork:
For the most part, none of the implemented options are strictly better than micromanaging them yourself:
But the options are there when you need them, which I think is a a nice design. It doesn’t completely remove best-in-class players being rewarded for their speed as a player, but does raise the “speed floor”, allowing slower players to get more bang for their buck APM-wise, and compete a bit more on the strategy/tactics side of the game instead.
There are types of time management which I think can still be interesting. For example, are you able to afford – in the resources of time and attention – optimally micro’ing this important fight? Or are you going to have to yolo it a bit so that you can do multi-task economic tasks at the same time?
Some (much?) of the problem is that (for better or worse) skilled players can and will squeeze the game to optimality in terms of win rate, and that tends to collapse viable tactical and strategic choices. Once those choices have been optimised (the game is largely “solved”), the main way to get better is by being faster, not by being smarter.
It’s normally negative, yeah, hence the “reverse review bombing” implying that they’re positive reviews.
I’m not sure it qualifies as “reverse review bombing” if the recent review +/- percentage matches the all-time percentage. There’s just more reviews because of the shutdown, the ratio of positive vs negative hasn’t meaningfully changed (97% positive overall, 97% positive recently).
Eh, it was reported about the normal amount imo. With the violent lone-wolf types, sometimes media under-reports it to reduce copycat actions (see the famous Newswipe clip).
I’m aware of at least two posts about it from the ABC (national broadcaster)[1][2] and one from local news[3] (paywalled, mirrored here), though admittedly this one has a very local-news angle on it.
Yeah, hence some under-reporting of the details. There’s some fair discussion about reporting / commentary on recent protests there but I don’t personally think the comparison to this incident seems fair.
