Pick GDP, manufacturing output or whatever metric and look it up: Russia is not even close to the US. China is the one playing in the same league as the Americans.

As for open source being dominated by the US, the stats for Linux development don’t give that portrait at all.

I have the utmost respect for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley, I’m happy it’s a success and I’ve played it plenty. I have to say though, there’s something in the game that leads some of us straight into a minmaxing management race-against-the-clock frenzy. I think I could play it casually, but I’d need an unwavering discipline… and that’s the problem.

I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

Just in case you don’t know already: https://pcpartpicker.com/ is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

Of all the ways one would harvest a botnet for propaganda, asking the victims nicely is surely the most cynical yet.

Do you guys not have phones?

I wonder how much they’ll charge for it.

Oh that AIDS. bruh

What does “live service AIDS” mean?

That just sounds like any normal day on Twitter. I feel bad for the community managers that still have to put up with that dumpster fire of a platform. This little flame war does nothing to my impression of Godot engine. To be honest I’ve been more worried about reports of rampant bullying.

Pathfinder Kingmaker & WotR are such strong titles in most aspects, but in both instances the mini-game they tacked on top of a perfectly fine RPG got on my nerves. Kingmaker’s management sim and WotR’s Heroes-of-Might&Magic-like army battles felt to me pretty rough around the edges (and ultimately tedious), especially compared to how engaging the rest of the games are. Ugh, I love-hate them sooo much.

I’ve only played the two first entries so far (Trails in the Sky FC & SC) and I’ve found them be fun JRPGs. I’d recommend starting by the beginning.

Have you played the Trails series?

That’s a 1 month old thread my man :P

Not sure what you mean. The thread was created August 16, my comment was made August 21, and now here you are replying on September 24. Some fediverse hiccup maybe.

So anyways I don’t have anything a cursory search wouldn’t turn up.

I was wondering if indirect cannibalism (human eating pig that ate human) would be dangerous… then I realized indirect cannibalism is always because we all return to the earth as we are fed by it.

The real punch line is the time you wasted along the way.

I sided with the rebels and Barik became this massive frustrated Northerner supremacist, despising Tiersmen every chance he had and urging me to let the Disfavored civilize them. Fuck that.

Don’t even try completing an FTL run at normal though. Easy is where the fun’s at.

I started Planet Crafter and I’m hooked. It’s a low budget yet brilliant Subnautica like game with a higher emphasis on crafting.

I’ve been playing Tyranny as well. It’s a nice CRPG with factions in a bleak setting. A little obtuse with the consequences of dialog options. Still refreshing. I really could use the tank character in my party composition, but he’s such an insufferable square I’d rather not use him.

Have some empathy for megacorporations. They’re moral (lol) entities just like you and me. /s
