Wow, they made Warcraft look like a flash game…

We’re all in better Ask Lemmy on .world

Probably the thing about a lemy.ml admin doxing some random user some 25 times. Which is VERY not ok.

This sounds rather bad for Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (https://www.openttd.org/)

I mean, it was not-terrible for most of it (not counting the quality of dialogue), just not this exact scene, which was absolutely fucking terrible, and barely even involved the character in question. I really can’t imagine how they thought “Other people should talk about their gender!” was a good idea.

It’s usually not the LED that fails, but the driver

Buddy, you’re not the main character

I’m in the Netherlands, helping out at a station in a school gym. This station had three booths, with one low-height voting booth, both for shorter people, but also for people in wheelchairs and whatever other reason. A man in his mid-30’s comes up in a wheelchair, we check his ID, hand him a ballot and the famous red pencil, and point to the direct of the booths, where someone has the temerity of allready occupying the wheelchair booth! GASP, SHOCK!

The guy proceeds to absolutely flip his shit, calling us bigots, racists, haters and nazis for not letting him vote from a wheelchair. That “people like us” have always hated him. For what’s it worth, note that both him and me are roughly the colour of fresh milk.

It was super awkward, because the man was “punch-your-face” angry, and I was the only person there who was under 60… But like… he’s in a wheelchair, and I’m sure he’d hurt himself a lot more than me. I was seriously considering just wheeling him out, but he hadn’t voted yet, and assholes have rights too, and the optics aren’t exactly great on that. One of the old ladies who also volunteered told me “Don’t worry girl, we get a few like that every time, just let him go and laugh about it over dinner”.

The kept ranting on his way out the door.

Luckily the home had their own staff join the groups that came to vote and resuscitated him and he continued exactly where he left off at tortoise pace.

That seems terrifying

Despite being really really invasive here in Europe, I love the Staghorn Sumac.

It’s very pretty, with great flowers and soft furry branches (like antlers). You can make an amazing “lemonade” from the fruits and you can eat the shoots raw.

And eating the shoots raw is a great idea, because it branches out like crazy. If your neighbors have one of these, you’ll soon have half a dozen too.

They also grow pretty fast, and the wood is super pretty (and super curvy, so you won’t be making any boards out of it)

Oh, that certainly explains your answers.

Are you a Lemmy sock puppetry expert? Because I am.

Oh wow, a real sock puppetry expert! That’s so amazing, can I have your autograph to show to my children?

Funny, good one

This video is private?

Yes, but not competent ones.

Let’s hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

Exactly. Basically nobody in their 30s can, say, drive a manual car without a synchro, unless they specifically practiced it, because there is zero need to learn that skill. And basically nobody under 20 can set port forwarding on a router because there is basically zero need for that skill.

When I wanted sound on Arkanoid, I HAD to learn IRQ settings, so I did. But now that stuff just works.

If Adolf Orban hates it, then by default it must be a good thing!

On a somewhat lower pedestal: Eragon. What a hugely derivative poorly written piece of crap. I’ve run D&D campaigns with better dialogue and pacing than that.

It’s also FULL of errors
