SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•TikTok will completely shut down app in US on Sunday as ban looms5·9 个月前VPNw
It’s a little known FOSS project, it piggybacks on TOR network and several other VPNs. The “W” stands for wank, as unfortunately VPNw only allows porn through to the user’s device, if a non-smut site is accessed VPNw injects millisecond flashes of tiddies n cacks full screen every 45 seconds. Highly recommended, can’t ever be too safe out there on the digital seas…
SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Chinese app RedNote gains millions of US users this week as 'TikTok refugees' joined ahead of ban — Reuters81·9 个月前Never forget the broad bipatisan support for blind support of the genocide being carried out by Israel.
The current Republican party is definitely the worse of the two, but it’s small margins. The Democrats, with a few exceptions (that I’m sure would be Independents if there was actually any point to that in the American electoral system,) only barely qualify as liberal these days. They keep shifting further right to try and capture some of the less rabid “disenfranchised” republican voters. End of the day this is doing damage to American democracy too.
They’re quite dated now, but Neverwinter Nights 1&2 have a pretty robust multiplayer element.
Best description I could find is from this steam post reply by DrLoboto:
AFAIK, there are three different possibilities to play multiplayer:
- You and your friend play through the official campaign and/or and the first expansion Shadows of Undrentide, or a user-made adventure that specifically allows for multiplayer (not all of them do). The second expansion Hordes of the Underdark might be possible to play through in multiplayer, too, but I heard there are some issues. Of the DLC, I think only Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons officially support multiplayer.
- You and your friend log onto a so called Persistant World (PW), which is like a mini MMO, an online world created and hosted by users which is usually accessible to everyone, so you might run into and interact with other players. Some of these are more action-oriented with pre-scripted quests, others are strictly roleplay, meaning you are meant to stay in character and not talk about meta stuff while playing. Sometimes administrators may take on the role of NPCs or monsters and entertain you.
- You and your friend either join another group or run your own game in which one of the users assumes the role of a dungeon master, taking control of NPCs and monsters and creating an adventure for the other player(s).
The more common options would be 1. and 2. In those case, you will both control your own character and you can form a party and fight together, but theoretically you can also split up whenever you want to (even while remaining in the same party) and explore on your own. In case 1. one of you will open an online game and host it for the other player to join (anyone who owns NWN can do this, you don’t need anything else or any particular knowledge), in case 2. you will both join the server of the according PW team. Note that in case 1. the pre-written adventures will often assume that the NPCs are always talking to the same character as the hero of the story; it’s not perfect but it works if you agree that one of you is the main character doing most of the talking for the main quests, or if you can live with the occasional confusion now and then. ;)

SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•The RTX 5090 uses Nvidia's biggest die since the RTX 2080 Ti1·11 个月前They’re still perfectly functional. As long as you’re happy not having ray tracing, and are willing to settle for not running everything on max gfx, there’s no reason to buy a 50, 40 or 30 series. I’m able to play most new games that interest me on medium gfx with no issues.

SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•‘Used like taxis’: Soaring private jet flights drive up climate-heating emissions5·11 个月前I drive 130-160km(depending what route I take) a day getting to and from work 5 days a week. It’s about 2hrs driving time daily. £70 of fuel a week roughly. The fact that these people are spending probably just as much time, and magnitudes more money to go the same distance… seems like an angry mob and a BBQ could solve this problem…
Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I’d say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.
