What's with all the culture war BS?

Played a bit with my son. It supports local co-op, and having some local co-op games is great in combination with an HDMI adapter and some controllers.
Day one! He truly has all the cards. Playing with a full deck he is.
The President of Peace, winner of the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. That's serious, super serious.
He's brought peace to the middle east at least a couple dozen times.
I think Lemmyvision already handled this!
Now that you say that, I did set up another RSS reader to display a Lemmy RSS. Thunderbird sports RSS, therefore…
Wait, Thunderbird queue with Activity Pub or Lemmy?
And it's not like Putin is going to the front, or will be impoverished.
So many great songs! Glad to see my man Boy Golden making it through to the International Lemmyvision!
The real treasure was the ~~friends we made along the way!~~ new music we were exposed to along the way! I had never heard of Angine de Poitrine before this years Lemmyvision nominations, thank you for the nominations, and the discussion!
Came for the tunes, stayed for the discussion on normalized vs inverted Borda Count.
Putin still has minions in the EU post-Orban, but no doubt the Russian position keeps getting worse and worse.
The US no longer sends any aid to Ukraine I understand, they simply are delivering equipment that EU countries have bought on behalf of Ukraine. This was a big win for Putin, but nowhere big enough. Add in EU shell manufacturing capacity growing so fast, along with just the general revitalization of EU arms manufacturing, I think the US' support is becoming less and less critical. Given the broad support Ukraine enjoys in the US, I would expect this to reverse in a few years, so there is another clock ticking for Russia.
Honestly, putting myself in Putin's shoes, it's one of two things. First, he has so successfully insulated himself, he has no idea how things are going. Second, he's just continuing to attack because to stop would mean his ouster and likely execution.
So long as Russia continues the war, Putin has an easier time of fending off potential internal enemies. Thousands of ordinary Russians will suffer and many die, but that's a sacrifice he's willing to make to keep holding on to power.
The longer he can hold on, the more chances subverting can change for him.
The Cursed Expedition was one of my favourite expeditions, so of course I'm redoing it.
The constant drain of the Anomaly Suppressor and the harassment of the Boundary Horrors lends an incessant pressure. That first dash to the ship with an underpowered Boltgun and no Elixirs at hand is reminiscent of a Permadeath start.
I think the slightly reduced targets of the Redux version make it a little less grindy.
And of course, the trash talk…
A bit odd perhaps, at least Ii haven't run into this.
Planets in uncharted systems have no structures. However if you use a portal to travel to a planet in an uncharted system, a Portal will generate. I spent a good deal of time trying to portal to this world, and some other worlds in the same system. I've double-checked the glyphs several times. In all cases I get the address error, approximating. I'll end up in a different system around the same distance from the core every time.
I swear I've done this to generate a portal on uncharted worlds before. Did I not have enough coffee today? Has this been "patched"? As it is I portalled to a bunch of other systems anyways, so got a functional portal base for this galaxy. On to the next.
Glyphs 3207-FA00-6FFA
Not as big as some of the others I've found, but I'm pretty sure these are the tallest Moving Castles/Towers I've seen in Euclid (Galaxy 00, the first galaxy).
If you can get to a Euclid portal, you have a couple of choices for walkers to help you explore.
Glyphs: 21FD-030C-790D
Doing the Galaxy tour, and got distracted (again) passing through #34 (hex 21) Ehbogdenbu. Saw a prime candidate for synthetic creatures and discovered the biggest walking tower I've encountered in the wild! 6.8m tall. It's a bit out of the way I suppose, but they are a wonder to behold.
The planet has aggressive sentinels, so I built a base. It should simplify pacifying the local sentinels.
The darker walker isn't native to the planet, that's the mysterious pet I picked up somewhere, but it is pretty much the same height.
Hex address 107E-0700-7007.
Currently named "Bastion Walker 6.8" but open to suggestions.
I picked up this tall boi just before the Adrift Redux expedition, and I was going to remember where I picked him up but… I didn't. Flipped back through my discoveries, no sign. It's the tallest of these big synthetic creatures I've discovered. I'm certain it's the tallest creature I've discovered, but it's not in my wonders either (which make me curious to backtrack to find the tallest that is in my wonders).
I wish you could export your discoveries to a CSV file, or something that let you search through and sort more effectively, but is there any easy way to figure out where a pets origin world was?
Doing the Adrift Expedition Redux (even though I've already done Adrift, I just like doing Expedition), and ran into this at Rendezvous 4, a derelict freighter pretty much crashing into the planet. It apparently tilts gravity, and severely hampers your jump jets. TIL I guess.
I also did the freighter task for free, saving the scanner, so thank to whoever parked a derelict freighter right on top of the rendezvous. Saw lots of other people going into the freighter at the same time, so I think it helped out.
If you’re on the Cursed Expedition, this crashed ship might be a nice upgrade from the C-class starter ship. It’s a crashed ship, so lots of repairs to get it into shape, but even partial cheap repairs early in the expedition gave it more cargo and better performance than the starter.
Found on the first rendezvous world, Ecorsfi in the Temarifi X system.

I think as long as Gabe runs the show, it will be fine, but you know that there are venture capitalists and mega-corps all ready to maximize stakeholder value.
At least with GoG, you can at least download your installers if it ever begins the enshittification slide. Steam will take everything with it should it start down that path.
