Leftists (but also everyone else): please fucking criticise Israel's genocide of Palestine without being anti-semitic, fuckers.Gods.And, yes, that includes sly allusions to Jews having been the real Nazis all along.The fuck is wrong with you.The state of Israel is perpetrating its own unique abomination that we can (and must) decry as an atrocity on its own terms.Your "Jews are Nazis" schtick is not fucking helping shit.(If you can read this, I almost certainly am not referring to you.)

"average person uses 3 linux each year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person touches 0 Linux per year. Fediverse Georg, who lives in cave & compiles over 10,000 kernels each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Gods, this is going off a bit.Check out my Soundcloud, I guess.https://soundcloud.com/1351/sets/dungeon-synth-1995-2003(I dredged out my literal Soundcloud for this bit. It has got vintage dungeon synth in it, like from before it was a proper genre. You have been warned.)

@futurebird yeah, I knew some US libertarians via the internet in the late 90s and many of them weren't too philosophically different to black flag anarchists. Lot of queer kids and kindhearted alternative subculture types.In the years that followed, a lot of them switched over to more European style anarchism, and a couple of them sadly came out as unconscionable arseholes who'd only ever been paying lip service to notions of personal liberty, which seems to be where the dominant strain of US libertarianism ended up.

@fesshole OP, you totally came up a pun that you needed a home for and then made this up. For shame.

@futurebird I remember reporting on this for the publication I worked for when a bunch of false leftist influencer accounts were discovered to be spoiler ops.There were so many that cleverly targeted niche affinities, and I recognise many that my friends and fellow organisers had inadvertently shared.

I had to take someone to an appointment, so didn't have the big camera, but as promised, proof that I live in Silent Hill. (Actually, I live a few kilometres outside Silent Hill, but it's my nearest administrative centre.)#photography #photographe #brouillard #fog

Because nostalgia is fundamentally an act of mourning for a person you can never be again, no amount of retro video games in their original shrink wrap can possibly fix you.

Alright, done a by-hand compile of Nuvie from the GitHub version, because it's easier to use the modern style open world map view in this one.However, the instructions on GitHub don't seem to be right, so here you go. This is on Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS running on aarch64 hardware, but the same should work on any standard Linux install. You'll might need to install cmake and whatever your distro's build-essentials package is.You'll need SDL2 and its libraries installed for this.git clone https://github.com/nuvie/nuvie.gitcd nuviemkdir buildcd buildcmake ../makeYou can optionally make install after this, but I just ran it from the build path.your .nuvierc config file is made at the root of your home directoryTo make it live in large window on a 1920x1080 display (alt+enter for fullscreen), and force it into New mode, which replaces the parchment viewports with an Ultima 7 style map and interface windows, I changed the following settings:<scale_factor>4</scale_factor> <game_style>new</game_style>Other game style options are original and original+ (which removes some but not all parchment borders to expand the map). Setting use new dolls to yes improves paperdoll handling in new mode<use_new_dolls>yes</use_new_dolls>I also downloaded extracted and copied the GOG version of Ultima VI to the path where I built nuvie, updating the config file with the following hard paths:<datadir>/home/kg/Software/nuvie/data</datadir>\ /home/kg/Software/nuvie/ultima6Downloaded the offline installer fromhttps://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_456As discussed earlier, once you've grabbed U6, stick it in a directory called ultima6:sudo apt install innoextractinnoextract setup_ultima_vi_-the_false_prophet_1.0_cs(28045).exe After character creation, I'm looking at .nuvierc's built in preferred gender and character portrait settings, although this might only work for new games that skip the intro (and thus, potentially, character creation). <gender>1</gender>If you'd rather try hex editing the nuvie save format, savegames by default live in the hidden .nuvie directory of your home directory. Hard path looks like this for me:/home/kg/.nuvie/savegamesDon't forget to click Introduction on the main menu and watch that before you do character creation. And make sure to put all of your party members into Command mode for true turn-based combat.@eniko this is your damn fault by the way - your urge to make an Ultima-like has definited stirred a need in me.#retrogaming #ultima
