  • Kind of same, I remember making a login like dropping my bags in an empty apartment like “well this is home now” and my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars. Wondering if I could hack it here. Just said fuck it we ball and started posting to try and decorate the place, hoping to be part of the Lemmy that made a difference and gets us noticed among the turmoil.

    Seems like we didnt quite make it compared to BlueSky as a reddit/Twitter supplanted, but thats ok, I think in retrospect I’ve made a fair number of people happy to see my posts, and hope I have at least helped a couple of (mostly) meme communities get either noticed or traction. (Sorry jojokes, I just ran out guys, I didnt want to dig into low effort to keep posting, people deserve some standard of quality)

    RiF still lives on my phone, hoping one day I can use it again.







  • Japan sights *the only two carriers China owns, traveling together.

    Sure Liaoning (a refitted soviet design) and Shandong (a newer cv based on the soviet design plan) together is a sight to see and power projection, but even more so it means they’re not elsewhere. Moving both to the same place near Japan means India and Taiwan aren’t within quick response range. I understand its just a display but this is what a party waiting to strike watches for. Not setting them in the same fleet ALSO prevents you from getting pearl-harbor’d and losing both your CVs in a single strike, should that happen.

    US Forces are already in the area and just left for patrol

    Additionally, the George Washington (an aging Nimitz) just left Japan to begin patrols (every summer for 6 months has been the tradition for the fleet). The 7th Fleet website says the Strike Group is comprised of the 1 CV, 2 cruisers (ticonderoga class) and 9 destroyers (arleigh-burke class) totalling 12 ships. A different article cites the Liaoning traveling with 3 ships, and Shandong with 5, totalling 10. Shandong travels with 1 cruiser and I can’t find what Liaoning’s complement is. I’d assume the rest are destroyers or auxiliary barracks/fuel ships. It should be noted this isnt the first time these carriers have done this, they were in the Phillipines doing drills last year together in November, which caused concern for a Taiwan invasion.

    If these 2 are going to drill together it means China may be almost ready to launch Fujian (a flat top supercarrier of China’s own design) to power project in 2 places again, and let the 2 older model designs travel together to cover any weaknesses they may have.



  • A trend that really took off is allowing checkpoint based-save games to remember I used consumables when reloading a save after you fail a mission. This conditions you to worry you might hit a hard spot and use all your consumables, and still lose, and be out all the money/time it took to get them.

    Games used to just reload a savestate so if you died and had to load a checkpoint you “didnt use” those consumables. Bethesda games are great about this Used a lockpick magazine and there was a trap on the other side? Dont worry fam use that magazine again and be ready for round 2!
