I hope nobody today is depending on websites that use Flash, but I'm still glad to see projects like this, for the sake of cultural preservation.

WTF is that title?

Ha... That is hilarious, and very much like Bethesda. (See also: the bee problem in Skyrim.)

Activision Blizzard is such an awful company that I stopped playing their games, for ethical reasons. I'm no fan of Microsoft or consolidation, but at least they don't have a habit of supporting human rights abuses. This acqisition has me considering playing (ex-)Blizzard games again.

Vertical mergers, like this one, can either be good

Do you have any examples?

I wonder how much more hirelings will be used now that their appearance can be changed.

I'm playing a lore bard with thief skills. I started with Shadowheart, Gale, and Lae'zel, but Karlach made me smile so much that I swapped her in as our tank.

We've been a pretty effective party through the first two acts on the balanced difficulty setting. Locks, traps, and persuasion checks are a breeze. Three fights between long rests is typical, and we barely touch consumables.

I might spend more time optimizing builds on my second play-through, which I expect will be in tactician mode.

Nobody suggested otherwise.

IRC and email work fine for me. Leagues better than having it locked away behind Discord's policies and whims.

An issue/patch tracker (and maybe a wiki) would be nice, but I don't feel they're necessary. The linux kernel manages without them, after all.

I do my gaming on Bookworm with a handful of extras, and it works very well.

There is a certain group of people who insist that only the distros with the latest packages are good for gaming. Those people are wrong in most cases.

Unless you have a very new GPU (released less than a year ago), your games are not likely to get any benefit from the latest kernel.

Unless your games require the very latest Vulkan features and you run them without Steam, Flatpak, or any other platform that provides its own Mesa, you’re not likely to get any benefit from a distro providing the latest version of it.

Practically everything else that games need is comparable across all the major distros, so choose one that makes you happy, not one that some shill claims is best for gaming. Even Debian Stable, contrary to the undeserved bashing it often gets by a certain kind of gamer, is generally excellent for gaming.

You're assuming that the word federation means central governance over the component parts. It doesn't. That's just an element that happens to be present in well-known political federations, which are not the only kind.

OP clearly specified "When making posts on Lemmy/Kbin". That is the context for this conversation.

There's a big filterable list here: https://staticgen.com/

I've been using Pelican for a few years. It's reasonably lightweight and very flexible, although the configuration could be prettier.
