They’re way more dangerous. The last time I was in a helicopter, the pilot kept trying to get us over a mountain ridge, but the low air density at that elevation kept causing the blades to be ineffective and would drop us. After a handful of tries, he gave up, and we went around.

I’ll probably never fly in one again.

How have I missed this news??

(actually, I don’t know whether to be excited or to dread this)

Damn you, I was in a ranked game!

Everything related to the internet was so unserious and fun.

A blacklist for words is such a lazy solution, lol.

I remember back in the old days of Westwood, their online games had a strict list of bannable words, and it was always fun to bait people into using them with seemingly innocent questions. “Hey, I’m doing a history report on WWII, does anyone know the name of the leader of the SS? Himm-something?”

Some poor schmuck: “You mean Himmler?”

<SYSTEM> User “Poor Schmuck” has been banned for 6 hours.

Wait until you see what kind of crazy controls we’re using in 2070.

Ah, that clears it up a lot…

Oh! That could’ve been my mistake. I typed ö with the dots instead of ő with the little lines. Thanks

I’m reading now that the ő suffix makes it refer to a person?

This is so interesting and also so overwhelming, lol. Thank you. I remember you (I think) mentioning to look out for the endings of words before.

I’ve heard of some other languages doing something similar. For example, I’ve been trying to learn a bit of Danish recently, and they’ll sometimes tack on an -et to the end of a word to say “the”. I know German is supposed to be a language where you can frequently combine a bunch of words, but I’m not exactly sure how it works. Languages are fun.

It does look like an early one, but so far it’s been rare to find a source with print dates for individual strips.

I’m the absolute worst at hearing lyrics, but I like this band’s sound!

If you’ve ever looked closely at a crow’s feathers, they have a bit of a sheen to them.

Ha, seriously! I was proud of myself for guessing that Könyve probably meant book, because I remembered translating Könyv from this one a few weeks back:

Years ago, I used Moonlight to cast to an Nvidia Shield. It worked pretty well, although it still required a lot of back and forth to tinker with things on the host PC. Still, it was better than the Steam Link at the time. Recently, I tried using the built-in streaming in Steam to play on a different PC in the house, but it was much the same story: lots of back-and-forth, launchers were annoying, and sometimes it wouldn’t display on the right screen.

Maybe virtual machines would be an improvement.

Is it worth it after that’s all said and done?

I’d love to power gaming in my house from a central server, but I keep imagining that it would be spotty and frustrating as hell.

I’m very surprised too. I’m on Lemmy a lot. I’ve been using Linux full-time for nearly a year now and learning about open source projects. Somehow that term has just slipped under my awareness until now.

Whoa, you’re very right about that. Lol

That does sound interesting. I’ve not come across those.
