"Basically, fast-paced interesting ADHD gameplay. Combination of Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Valorant, Smite, Orcs Must Die."

That's how notable Valve leaker "Gabe Follower" describes Deadlock, a Valve game that is seemingly in playtesting at the moment, for which a few screenshots have leaked out.

The game has been known as "Neon Prime" and "Citadel" at prior points. It's a "Competitive third-person hero-based shooter," with six-on-six battles across a map with four "lanes." That allows for some of the "Tower defense mechanics" mentioned by Gabe Follower, along with "fast travel using floating rails, similar to Bioshock Infinite." The maps reference a "modern steampunk European city (little bit like Half-Life)," after "bad feedback" about a sci-fi theme pushed the development team toward fantasy.

In honour of the late great Roger Corman, I've queued up some amazingly cheesy movies from his oeuvre, playing right now. I haven't seen most of them myself. Should be fun!

She Gods of Shark Reef. The Los Angeles Times film reviewer at the time said that this movie had only two things in its favour: it's in colour, and it's only 63 minutes long.

Creature from the Haunted Sea. This one doubles as a feel-good movie where Cuban counter-revolutionaries get got by a monster at the end and it's portrayed as a positive outcome.

War of the Satellites. A cheaply-made, quickly-made bit of schlock intended to cash in on Americans' paranoia about Sputnik.

Battle Beyond the Sun. This is actually a Roger Corman distributed English-dubbed and re-edited version of the 1959 USSR film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebo_Zovyot.

Of course this is nothing from the official admins of the hextube. This is just me being bored and slightly sad about Mr. Corman's passing and wanting to enjoy some schlock.

This guy works for a company called Lobby X that's like a neoliberal meat grinder recruitment site.

I believe the artist is Svetoslav Petrov but I had trouble tracking down the actual source.

With thousands of people in the video game industry losing their jobs - including developers who made successful games - I think my energy is best spent elsewhere. Namely, making an endless series of 90-minute-long videos in which I call every new popular piece of media “woke” unless it features Gina Carano looking straight into the camera and saying slurs. And see? That’s a woman, so you can’t even call me sexist because I can name at least one.

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there's no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives "Destination network unreachable". This only happens when both network connection on the host are active. Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

The nat network in question:

<network>
  <name>natToWlan</name>
  <uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>
  <forward dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1" mode="nat">
    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
    <interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
  </forward>
  <bridge name="virbr1" stp="on" delay="0"/>
  <mac address="52:54:00:1f:64:95"/>
  <ip address="192.168.100.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.100.128" end="192.168.100.254"/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

RISC-V seems to be gaining more traction and more space in the media.

SB 1497 cleared committee, which means that the whole state Senate will vote on it.

Getting it to pass means getting enough of them to actively vote for it. That means calling and telling them you want it to pass.

Look up your state Senator here, and find their phone number here

Then call their Sacramento office number, and say:

"My name is ______ and I live in _______. I am calling to urge the Senator to support behind SB 1497. This bill deserves to become law. Make oil companies pay for the damage they have caused to our state."

The move compounds pressure on coal communities to diversify their economies.

Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, "based on her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen 'dozens' of other events in the same space." This really needs a 'Sure, Jan" gif. Trumpers ran with that number, but Fagan and I'm going to guess that she's a Trump supporter, who knows, was way off.

The story has changed. Wildwood officials now say the 80K to 100K number was not the number on the beach at the rally but the total number of people "in our town," including restaurants, bars, and other places. Imagine that.
