If you’ve read all the OG Dune content, I say go for it. They aren’t at the same level, but they’re… Fine. Get it from the library or wherever and try it. Go in with low expectations and possibly get pleasantly surprised, or never pick them up again.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Is this is a crime in your country?
7·13 days agoTotally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•What is your favourite Pokemon of all time?English
6·23 days agoMy favorite of all time is Psyduck because I identify with him and frequently have to control myself from freaking out when minor things go wrong.
I also like Squirtle and Turtwig lines.
Pokopia is easily my favorite game in the series too, just because it lets you work together instead of battling, and it made me appreciate some others like Ditto or Piplup.
It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Intel licenses Atom-class x86 cores to startup, firm reportedly sharing RTL, enabling customer to build its own custom processors based on x86 general-purpose coresEnglish
6·30 days agoCompete with AMD as well. They don’t license the designs directly, but the reason they’ve dominated the last couple generations of consoles is they’re willing to do custom work where Intel traditionally was more “take it or leave it”

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikimedia staff in the US have formed a trade union, but the foundation has refused to recognise itEnglish
4·1 month agoUh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…
I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.
My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

Games@lemmy.world•What is the smartest non boss enemy in a video gameEnglish
8·1 month agoI’m not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is
If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn’t have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Fran Drescher was the victim of a brutal rape.English
26·1 month agoI’m with you. She’s especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she’s a complete 90s fashion icon.
Her later work as president of the Screen Actor’s Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.

Linux@programming.dev•Experimental BSDun Kernel Module Runs FreeBSD Binaries on Linux
21·2 months agoSo, the answer to the question “Can Linux directly host another Unix-like operating system’s binary interface?” at the moment is “partly, experimentally, and impressively.”
As if there was any question on that? You can have Linux “handle” Windows PE binaries by telling it to invoke wine, dealing with a Unix-like scenario is a much lower bar.
The question is who is this useful for? FreeBSD has the Linux compatibility layer because it’s playing catch up to Linux, but the Venn diagram of stuff FreeBSD can do but Linux can’t is tiny, especially if extra special kernel feature stuff is stubbed.
Can anyone name a project that is BSD first, doesn’t rely on BSD kernel features, doesn’t have a native Linux port, and isn’t a distro tool?

Television@piefed.social•'House Of The Dragon' Season 3 Premiere Down 8% From Season 2English
7·2 months agoI sat down to watch it, then realized during the recap that I’d bailed 3 episodes into season 2. I might go back… Might not bother. It’s GOT without the characters that made GOT worth watching.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Doctor Who and Star Trek showrunners discussed possible crossoverEnglish
7·2 months agoI find this image hilarious, but Dr. Who is so wholesome most of the time it’s hard for me to imagine Sisko getting more than mildly annoyed by his antics.
This is definitely about the D language, I just haven’t heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.
Was there drama with D? I’m out of the loop…

Linux@lemmy.ml•PorteuX 2.7 claims it is faster than CachyOS and may be the fastest Linux distro yet
11·2 months agoDo you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?
Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you’re doing tons of vector oriented workloads it’s not going to qualitatively make a difference.

Games@lemmy.world•STALKER 2: Cost of Hope – Official Story and Characters TrailerEnglish
18·3 months agoI bounced off Stalker 2 at launch because of bugs, but revisited earlier this year and had a ton of fun with the 90% of the game that is open world scavenging, stealth and combat. The only thing that sucks are some of the boss fights.
Nothing takes me out of being a sneaky, resourceful Stalker more than being forced to drop into an arena, or have a door magically lock behind me, and not being able to advance the story without either beating some bullet sponge or reloading a save from an hour before to change my load out/get more ammo etc and redo it.
I wish they would take more of a Deus Ex approach, where you can action hero your way through if you want, but with some clever/thorough playing you could significantly nerf the boss fights. The game even pretends to do this, but ultimately your choices have no bearing on the bosses.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Shadow Frontier Is a Psychological Thriller 'Sort of Akin to Hellblade,' Paramount SaysEnglish
7·3 months agoI’ll check this out, love Ro Laren / Michelle Forbes…
However this site had a “duel” between Spock and Porthos for best crew member and it just made me laugh. The legendary first officer of the original Enterprise that saved Earth countless times or a cheese loving dog famous for causing diplomatic incidents by pissing on sacred trees… Tough one.

Television@piefed.social•'Widow's Bay' - Guillermo del Toro Calls Horror-Comedy the Best Streaming Series in YearsEnglish
4·3 months agoI have enjoyed it so far. Horror and comedy is tough to mix but this show has gotten me spooked a couple of times and gotten me to laugh my ass off a few times too. Nice balance.



Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year…
Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.
