Seattle Based Marxist Leninist
Great read. I did a project for one of my Junior levels on graphene and the unfortunate impossibility of using it due to the properties when you stack it. I never even looked into this magic angle that the article describes. Super cool for the future of computing.
Owls. Specifically the Barn owl. They are so cute and I have always wanted to hold one!
I have a pretty solid group that I play both Squad and Rising Storm 2 vietnam with. Outside of those games though I kinda prefer solo experiences as I get into my mid 20’s. I just do not care to compete with players and much prefer co-op online experiences. Bad news is that it is really hard to find people to organize game nights with for co-op games.
The reason I like Squad so much is actually because it feels more like a Co-Op game similar to Arma’s popular invasion ruleset. In Squad I can contribute to the team by being a spotter, Logistics man, driver, commander, or squad leader. All of those roles do not rely on me being amazing with a rifle (although I am really good at fps games I just don’t care for shooting as much as I used to). Instead these roles rely on communication and me being a naturally charismatic dude.
Looks like we got a team of based badasses developing this platform
I understand the perspective of slurs being used in a reclaimed context. However I used to be an admin for a relatively large multiplayer MILSIM game and I can tell you right now that perspective falls apart the moment trashy people get their hands on it. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the excuse “but I am black” or “but I am gay” in an attempt to defend what is clearly a statement meant to harm a specific minority group.
This isn’t to say I don’t understand where you are coming from because I do but I don’t think that the internet is really a place that can be a safe space for people to anonymously use reclaimed words no matter the context. You would be surprised how many people may infiltrate a space just to get a pass to say slurs.
I don’t. I use Lemmy and Reddit alongside eachother
