Dude’s the opposite of a NIMBY. Only In My Back Yard.

Not really. Wikipedia is not a democracy. It would only take a handful of dedicated zionists to kick up a fuss to create the debate. The fact that it arrived at the right conclusion is a testament to Wikipedia’s editorial policies.

Olive oil is a deeply important cultural touchstone for Palestinians, according to a post I saw a day or two ago.

Yeah I’m not really sure either. I get the sense that either it got better over its lifetime or over time people came around to it à la the Star Wars prequels. But I don’t really remember it. I played it a little early in its life but don’t remember anything about it.

As for all those links. Absolutely irrelevant to the conversation at hand, which is about you violating instance-wide rules about respect.

You’ll note I did not report comments I merely disagreed with. I reported the ones where you were clearly violating your own instance’s rules by failing to be respectful with your interlocutor.

Yup. Clear violation of the rules.

I had a read over the rest of that review. Damn it was a good read. And sadly very, painfully accurate to my experience.

This kind of stuff? None. It’s shockingly bad.

But a real Age of Empires game? Hells yes. This was announced not long after the AoE2 and AoE4 ports to console & controller had shown to be successful (at least critically—no idea how they’re doing commercially). So I thought that they had cracked a way to do satisfying RTS gameplay on a mobile device. It’d be great to be able to play a quick Skirmish on the bus, or while spending time away from home without my computer.

So when a few aoe creators showed previews of the game back in February this year, I was rather surprised and very disappointed to see that the game has absolutely zero resemblance to an Age game. That the worst fears of it being a shitty rip-off were completely true. Thanks to those previews, I was not surprised on release this week—though the extent of just how bad even the narrative side of this is was still overwhelming.

I don’t think so, why? I only played it very briefly, but I thought it had a small but happy fanbase still playing on third-party servers.

It is genuinely hard to describe just how bad this is. I did the best job I could of my own review over on the official Age of Empires forums. Its worst sin is probably the simple fact that it barely even feels like a game where you make choices. You just click what it tells you to do.

It’s telling that they don’t have an official subforum for this game, although there is one for AoE1, 2, 3, and 4, and Age of Mythology.

I can’t think of any video game that fits that description. But I wish I got into RPGs earlier. My first role playing experience was near the end of my first year of uni. I wish I could have played D&D or other RPGs from when I was in high school. They’re such a blast.

Lemmy uses for its markup a language called “markdown”. It’s the same one used on Reddit, Stack Exchange, as well as in a modified form on Discord.

Markdown requires two line breaks to define a new paragraph to allow you to break your paragraphs across multiple lines, a useful ability to have with writing that’s going to be tracked by Git, or displayed on some old-school text editors. It also gives you the ability to separate between two paragraphs
and one paragraph with a line break in it.
Which is a useful thing to be able to do in some circumstances, like when writing poetry, or sharing your results in [email protected]. To enter a “line break”, end a line with two spaces and then press enter only once.

It means slightly better than—but just slightly—America’s Democrats.

Though fyi in Australia we spell it Labor. It’s labour in any other context, but our political party is Labor.

And what exactly happened over the last few decades prior to October last year?

Official opening ceremony is on Friday. Some events like soccer and archery start their pool matches and preliminary rounds early.

That’s an explanation for why it was not used correctly. It doesn’t really work as an “or”.

I can see a use case for not having a language tag. For example on photos in general photography communities. But yeah, it’s definitely an underused feature.

No, but I’ve seen a few French posts (nowhere near as much as German) and it’s been a good chance to practise my French.

I browse by All with the Hot sort.

I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?
