Imagine being his lawyer and having to come up with an argument to defend him. Yeesh

Metro 2033 redux and COD WaW custom zombies. Haven’t been in a big gaming mood recently and want something easy and fun. I enjoy the short chapters and fun gameplay and world building of the Metro games, this is my second playthrough. COD custom zombies is just fun and relaxing when playing easy maps and you can stop at any time

I recently started learning and playing poker, and I mostly play with fake money. Here’s what I’ve used so far:

Pokerstars and GGPoker both have fake money options that you can play without depositing money. I used Pokerstars for a while as it was the only client I could get working on Linux (using bottles). They both have good mobile apps. I prefer GGPoker’s interface so I’ve been using my Windows dual boot to play that when I want to on my computer.

Poker Brawl is a phone app where you can play correspondence heads-up poker with an ELO rating system. It’s correspondence , so you only have to make a move once every three days. It’s heads-up only, though.

I’ve found playing on real poker platforms with fake money to be best in terms of somewhat emulating real poker in terms of player behavior.

Feel free to comment with any questions and I’ll try to help

It also doesn’t have an algorithm, which would make it difficult to find content you want when there are loads of creators

That sounds really frustrating. Some people don’t think about (or actively ignore) how their actions affect others. Sounds like you’re making a good decision for yourself to no longer live with him

Me too

The final scene of Mirror’s Edge with that song makes me emotional every time

Yeah good point. I should have said “interesting idea in theory.” I fully agree with you

The amount of bonus a worker gets is based on the number of miles they complete each month.

I understand what they’re trying to do, but this is just not equitable. You’d have to figure out how to handle this for people who cannot run (such as wheelchair users). This greatly favours those with more free time and less obligations (such as people with no kids). It favours those already in shape and those who have fewer health issues.

This will favour those who already have it better off, which is the opposite of equity.

Good idea in theory, but I don’t like the model where it’s applied based on output.

Rumble, which is the place my conspiracy theorist dad gets all his news… because all the personalities that are there got kicked off of more mainstream platforms like YouTube

I have a steam deck but I also recently changed from Windows to Pop!_OS on my gaming rig. I’m very much enjoying it so far

I usually call them management games. Looking at the Steam tags for Factorio and RimWorld, they both have “Management” and Factorio additionally has “Resource Management”. But I think “Management” is your best bet.

I think RTS games don’t usually fall under management and instead are just called RTS.

In terms of my favourite ones, I love FTL: Faster Than Light. I’m picking it up again at the moment actually. I also like RinWorld, Oxygen Not Included, and Dungeon of the Endless.

Keep in mind that the Energy Department says it most likely came from a lab, but with low confidence.

[…] the FBI was an agency that had assessed it a leak from the lab with moderate confidence. There were four other agencies that said it probably arose naturally from an animal with low confidence. And at that time, the Energy Department was agnostic. It didn’t have a position one way or the other.

What’s happened is they’ve done an update to this report, and the Energy Department’s position has shifted. It’s gone from saying, well, we don’t know to, we think it’s most likely it did come from a lab, though with low confidence.

I’m not saying this means it’s not the case, just that it’s not as clear-cut as the title of the post makes it seem.

And that makes sense that it’s low confidence, given China isn’t cooperating.

Cool!

I am bookmarking this post to come back to later. I’ve gotten my partner into video games and we like playing local multiplayer, specifically co-op.

Our favourites are: Overcooked and Stardew Valley (Nintendo Switch version has split screen).

Ones we enjoy are: ibb & obb, Jumpjet Rex, Shutshimi, Spiritfarer.

I really like Data Wing. Cool top-down 2D arcade racing game with a cool story, free with no ads. It’s obvious a heap of passion was poured into the game. Still my favourite mobile game.

EDIT: I use Android so I’m not sure it’s on the Apple Appstore but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be
