Gmod is essentially Roblox’s father. It’s limited in what you can do but is still really good and has a shockingly active community.

The best Roblox alternative is S&box, but it’s not out yet. It’s a spiritual successor to Gmod that aims to be a gaming platform that’s developer friendly and good to consumers. There’s a developer alpha you can join to start making games in it, but the community is not there yet and it’s likely a few years away.

It’s called UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite), not Fortnite the game specifically. From what I understand it’s a watered down version of Unreal Engine and is really good to use, lets you publish your games straight to the platform.

According to articles I can find, this has nothing to do with recent censorships?

Japan’s Fair Trade Commission has taken its first administrative action against the credit card industry, targeting Visa Worldwide Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of Visa Inc.‘s Singapore operations, over suspected monopolistic practices in the authorization system market.

[…]

The investigation centered on Visa’s November 2021 terms changes that rendered credit card companies managing merchant outlets ineligible for commission discounts in certain industries unless they adopted Visa’s authorization system.

Minecraft is better and has a massive community with a huge selection of mods. Luanti is free & open source but that’s about it, it’s neat but is ultimately just another Minecraft clone.

Rather than browsing by all you can also subscribe to communities that interest you and browse by subscribed.

M4 Max on a high-end macbook pro is roughly equivalent to an RTX 4060 in terms of performance, but is behind on raytracing. It stutters in intense scenes but can hit 1440p 60FPS with metal upscaling.

I was about to say, the color scheme is VERY moebius inspired. The world looks almost alien, it’s going to be an interesting take on the franchise.

I know it’s been known that HH is a major ass in his personal life, but he’s been a big icon for wrestling and TV culture as a whole. RIP

The name is a little stupid, but I find it makes a lot of sense too. Metroidvanias are games where you explore and slowly unlock the means to reach new areas and explore more. Metroidbranias are the same idea but you need knowledge to progress rather than collecting items

That’s up to government regulations and something that people can vote on - not something the payment processor can suddenly control and block

Still at awe of how much money Venom made despite all three movies being hot garbage

I wish we as a community could stop with this sense of superiority

Not possible in a Linux community. They have only three jokes:

• Fuck windows

• I’m so smart for using the superior software stack (and everybody is an idiot for not switching)

• and my personal favorite: constantly trying to trick people into using FOSS software by telling everybody they’re as good even in cases where they’re clearly not (bro please use GIMP it’s actually really good bro as soon as you understand its archaic 1998 user interface it’s just as good as photoshop bro please)
