It has been quite nice this summer in Denmark for those that usually hate it. Usually I retreat to the coldest darkest corner of my world to survive, but not this year. Very windy and rainy with most days sub 20C (68F). It can stick around as long as it likes.
Some not yet mentioned.
I wonder how many russians are actually happy with this outcome. Kremlin loyalist must be depressed, since their leader basically turned into a puppet. And the extreme wagner supporters wanted it to go all the way. So both sides hardcode supporters are now depressed. Some wagner members probably just wanted putin to concede even after his speech so they may be happy. Civilians that support none may be happy that their society didn’t collapse and cities turned to war zones.
Ukrainians are disappointed that the distraction didn’t last a little longer, but none the less content with a weakened Russia.
Well that was… weird.
I saw several alleged videos of russian frontline units pledging their support for Prigozhin. Combine that with how little resistance wagner faced and Putin might have realized how weak his position is and given in to replacing MOD staff. Not a good look the same day he declared Prigozhin a traitor and promised punishment.
Trading the long-term stability for the short-term. Because now every aspiring russian warlord know that if you don’t like something about the state, all you need is just a big enough private army to bully the kremlin, lol.
Been following it since yesterday when it kicked off. Events so far:
Reddit moving against my preferred clients. I’m not abandoning the site completely until both third-party and old.reddit is gone, but thought I might as well have a foot out the door. Lemmy just seemed like the most closely related option.
Well yes, but it’s not very hard in Copenhagen.
Oh nice, I actually hadn’t noticed that they added coop. I could certainly use an extra hand right now as I’m just stuck on playing whack-a-mole with the remnants of the war-in-heaven losers. So much border gore, closed borders, and million tiny fleets everywhere unexpected and recapping their territory. This was the part I didn’t miss, and why I’ve never finished a game :)
No. It is a language model, not a wiki. A very good model which can output correct info, but there is no rigid mechanism to restrict it to only facts.
I think it is a good addition. The council gives a better roleplay representation of your government than I recall before. The paragons that occasionally shows up can be interesting and powerful leaders.
But again, I haven’t played for long time so not a lot to draw comparison to.
I don’t play stalleris regularly, but every other year or so I buy all the DLCs I missed and start a game. All the crisis’ have come and gone and I’m just mopping up a war.
I have an old cheap smartphone that I have wanted to replace for many years now. But any time I check the market it has been mostly more boring phones bloated with features and hardware that I care nothing for. The only thing that actually has me a bit excited are foldable or rollables, though I’m stuck in a endless “just wait one more generation” loop. I am gonna have to break it soon.
is there a patient gamers subreddit or whatever it’s called here
There is one on the ‘main’ instance, which you can also access from beehaw due to the federation thing. https://beehaw.org/c/patientgamers@lemmy.ml
My favourite contractors mod is actually PMC, which I didn’t list in the post. PMC makes the gunplay and movement far more realistic and methodical, which is more my thing. It requires you to use semi-auto at medium distances, bullet are actually physical, guns have sway, and body armor actually plays a big role.
Played a bit of pavlov before I discovered contractors mods, but it didn’t scratch the same itch.
Well I signed up for monthly donations, so you can add a couple more potatoes in your serial.
Hope you figure something out, because connectivity has taken another deep dive lately.

For example politics@beehaw.org works for me.
Vehicle simulators are definitely enhanced by VR. Haven’t tried Flight sim yet. Needed a better PC before taking that plunge, though I do have that now but have yet to try it.
Played some racing and truck sim at one point which was also very enjoyable. Though that requires extra bulky hardware which I don’t have a permanent place for atm.
Moss is a fairly simple game, but the VR perspective makes it interesting enough for the short duration. One of the first I played which opened my eyes to how much as simple as a new perspective can provide even if you’re still controlling it like a flat controller game.
It is photoshopped. The original.
Actually really unethical journalism to do that shit and not even add a disclaimer. And even if they added a disclaimer it should not not be the image that shows alongside the article in a feed.
