Only if you’re rounding. 99.9 is still 1/10 of a digit separated from 100, but it’s not equal to 100 for good reason.

Crowfiend ,

It only signifies that the post-decimal nines are repeating infinitely. It still doesn’t make 99.99999…=100 unless you intentionally round the value for some nondescript reason, and even then, rounding off isn’t changing the value, only the perceived value for mathematical simplicity, not objective accuracy.

Crowfiend ,

So why is it represented as 99.999… Instead of just 100? It’s because you’re forgetting the fact that fractions and decimals are infinite depending on the magnification. 99.9999… literally goes on forever. That means that no matter how close it gets to 100, it will never be equivalent to 100.

It’s like how you can know infinitely nothing and still think you know everything. 👀🫠

I was all-in on that paragraph, but then the last statement rolled into vision, and now I can’t take it seriously again.

Doctor, looking at Garfield: “didn’t we meet in 1930s New York? I think there were pigmen?”

Not sure how this is a shitpost, this is the most accurate interpretation I’ve ever seen of D&D shenanigans!

Satisfactory. It’s been in early access for a few years now, 2019 I think? At the beginning of this year (2024) they announced the next update would be the 1.0 release. I’ve been playing it on/off for years, especially recently with all the strides they’ve made in development.

The game is like Factorio, but presented as an FPS. You get dropped onto a planet in a pod straight out of Halo: ODST by a space-future megacorp called Ficsit, with the goal of harvesting the planet’s resources for Ficsit off-planet divisions.

I have almost 1500hrs in Satisfactory since I got it, there’s no shortage of gameplay. Coffee Stain (devs) have been posting videos regularly, updating the community on new/discontinued features, revamped recipes and production rates, and even just being silly as much as being helpful, to the point where Coffee Stain is my go-to example of good devteam-community interaction.

Oh, and it also has a really good modding community, so if there’s anything that’s not in game, that you want in game, it’s probably already been made by one or two modders.

Jon Stewart Debunks GOP’s City Crime Narrative | The Daily Show (youtu.be)

Jon Stewart is outstanding, but also this video seems like one of his better ones. Aside from gun issues specifically, part of what makes this great is his calling the for-profit media sources out for their hypocrisy and willful ignorance, and callousness to the lives of innocents including our children.

I was gonna correct you to say, "fuck right wing republicans, but then I realized there’s no real difference. 🤷

Per Google, and doing the math, a gallon of cheese is 8 pounds (roughly 4kg). So that’s 160lbs in a year.

Holy shit that’s a fucking lot of cheese. Someone stop this madman.

Somebody got called ‘psycho’ a lot in high school and is still salty about it.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

Crowfiend ,

I’ve been censored/shadowbanned in a couple .ml instances for calling out their overzealous comment-nuking mods. Not even political in nature, just seeing threads where 80-90% of the comments are ‘removed by moderator’ and commenting how suspicious it was.

Then they removed that comment, and after taking a screenshot of the new comment calling out that, I got shadowbanned and can’t even vote there anymore.

Crowfiend ,

Even the non political .ml communities are full of power-tripping, ban-happy, thread-nuking tyrants in my experience.

Crowfiend ,

Really good game if you’re into modern Civilization games. It’s like if you crossed Civ 5 with Dungeons and Dragons.

Crowfiend ,

Probably wooshed since B and V are next to each other on most keyboards, making it a super easy typo.

Crowfiend ,

I’m sure it’s shopped or from a movie, but what am I looking at?

Crowfiend ,

Lol you sweet summer child

Crowfiend ,

Your cat looks exactly like my first cat. Sweet girl lived 18 good years by my side and your picture has my eyes tearing up. 🥺😭

Crowfiend ,

All good, she passed a few years ago. No longer mourning, just tugged my heartstrings a bit.

Crowfiend ,

Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?

Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.

Crowfiend ,

Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as ‘Robotnik’ without the creators consent.

As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the ‘stupid moniker,’ as you put it.

Crowfiend ,

What plane is that? It looks like a B25 but the B25 doesn’t seem to have the twin engines on the tail, but under the winds.

Crowfiend ,

Ah ok. The A-10 is a favorite of mine and this looked like it could be a variant.

Crowfiend ,

TIL people don’t regularly try for this. I always try to stop it at the dollar cause neurotic that way.

I was about to go looking for the original pic without the lemmy stuff, but then I saw the real diamond in this image.

Man I been hyped for this update! I never played Helldivers, but as an ST fan, I loved that it parodied ST. I still remember when Helldivers 2 came out and the servers shat the bed, so everyone came to check out Extermination, then the population died once Helldivers fixed the servers.

Hopefully this update brings people back, I grinded max level during those two weeks, and I can’t wait to saddle my SAW extended mag with me to other classes! Aaaaauuuugh patch had to come out on my cousins birthday didn’t it?!

Using median makes it a loaded statistic skewed in favor of the minority (in this case, the wealthy).

Over half the country is living paycheck-to-paycheck, so that median number is already in the ‘well-off’ category by default, making them irrelevant to the main point of discussion.

Crowfiend ,

To give two sides of answers to your question: I played the early MK games on the Sega Genesis, and I would say start where you want.

As others have said, the new canon for the series starts with the 2011 game. But honestly, the 2011 game is very similar to the OG games. If you only played the OG, then the new games will only be a better version of what you played up until that point.

If you only played the new ones, it gives prominent backstory to various characters, and the gameplay is almost identical. It’s a great starting point for newcomers.

Biggest difference is that the new games try to make everything one seamless story, the idea being comic book multiverse things, where in one universe, Ryu isn’t the God of Lightning, but a simple student at the temple. Stuff like that.

TL;DR: There’s no bad place to start in the Mortal Kombat games.

Crowfiend ,

I think for fitting the syllable count, “we didn’t scratch the CD,” fits better. I know being a disc doesn’t make it a CD, but nobody cared at the time anyway lol

Edit: still, I want this to be a Weird Al song, and your lyrics fit the theme perfectly

Crowfiend ,

oh I don’t live there so it’s not my problem

First, they came for my friends, and when they asked for help I said, ‘it doesn’t affect me.’

Then, they came for my direct neighbors, and when they asked for help I said, ‘not my house not my problem.’

Then they came for me, and there was nobody to ask for help.

Man, DD just keeps losing to CD Projekt. I remember DD originally came out for console right when I made the switch to PC, and when they finally released on PC? Same exact day as Witcher 3 release.

Something something shadow of giants.

Like honestly, DD devs clearly don’t think things through, and if I didn’t absolutely love the first one, I wouldn’t be giving 2 as much slack as I am.

OoooOOoo… Squidward senpai… image

Edit: I dunno how to do this right lmao

If they have any integrity

Haaahahahaha

Sorry, not laughing at you, the idea of game journalism having any integrity. That said, it’s likely an issue with editors pandering to their CEO or other boss, but still.

Crowfiend ,

Lol I saw the drama thread about this like 20 minutes before finding this thread on my feed. The mod(s) doing this are really shooting themselves in the everything here. Soon the userbase here will hit critical low and there’ll be no opinions that are contrary to the mighty overlords opinions.

They’ll finally have a place with only their thoughts and judgements. Nobody talking back or saying what they think, just agreeing with the oppressors. Just them and the bots they made to parrot and agree with them.

I guess I’ll just wait patiently for my 30 day ban for saying anything though.

Nah, the fuckedness actually gets multiplied.

Worse. Normal people have the occasional decency of self consciousness.

Fixed it.

Likely to protect the cop/department too, since he shot at his own car that already had a disarmed, detained suspect inside. He very nearly killed someone that was already a non-threat. If the body cam footage got out it might make people think their cops are negligent or improperly trained! /ghasp

I can’t express the embarrassment I feel from how long it took me to understand this.

Beautiful cat! Looks just like my first cat, Silver.

Not to dismiss the seriousness of the story, but the term, “rails against,” is as annoying as headlines that use “X slams Y.” It means nothing and is only there for the eye catch and click bait.

I know the point is to get peoples attention, but stuff like that only makes me roll my eyes and assume an idiot was in charge of the article.

The Whale Who Went AWOL. Hvaldimir escaped captivity and became a global celebrity. Now, no one can agree about what to do with him (www.nytimes.com)

On April 26, 2019, a beluga whale appeared near Tufjord, a village in northern Norway, immediately alarming fishermen in the area. Belugas in that part of the world typically inhabit the remote Arctic and are rarely spotted as far south as the Norwegian mainland. Although they occasionally travel solo, they tend to live and move...

Crowfiend ,

Belugas are more closely related to dolphins, if I remember correctly. Sooo…

“I just can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to work!” --my grandma, who’s been supported by my grandpa’s money for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, the people who were brainwashed into thinking that ‘working just to work is great,’ are undeniably unconcerned with the rest of us, and far too many people think that way.

While it’s true that I would want to do something productive with my downtime, and not be wasting it on video games or whatever, I definitely don’t want to do it for some CEO or other higher power who cares as much about me, as I do about the ants in my yard.

Crowfiend ,

They really aren’t. Try being more attentive to the world.
