I don’t think that’s the case anymore… That used to be true, but each of my library locations have their own compatdata and shadercache folders.

Still just on the first step, embrace.

Apparently threads didn’t support federating replies (comments) on posts until this.

And you still won’t be able to reply to the federated comments on posts, just see them.

They are really not in a hurry to properly support federating. I honestly didn’t realize Threads’ federation support was this pathetic.

If you didn’t try it the first time, you can enable a beat display. It’s toggled with a button on the controller (share button on the DS5 when on PC) and it will display a very explicit indicator along the bottom of the screen.

You really can’t see how a child can fall through the cracks of a fucked government care system and fall in with people who would take advantage of them?

Just warn all the kids off strangers, no way some won’t hear it, ignore it, or literally do the opposite of what they’re told for stupid childish reasons.

Brilliant thinking my friend, lets just tell all our kids not to get kidnapped, human trafficking, solved!

And before you get semantic on me, manipulating a child into coming with you against their own interests even as it is then not taking them against their will, is still kidnapping.

Modern ADSL and VDSL can get you pretty far… But they don’t hold a candle to fibre.

MentalEdge , 3 days ago to linux_gaming in What proton games are: completely ownable with no nonsense and a solid community?

You can disable the news pop up that opens with steam, and it opens to your library, not the store page.

The only “hype” it’ll show you then are the news on the library pages for the games you own.

MentalEdge , 3 days ago (edited 3 days ago) to world in How Sweden's youth homes nurtured killers, creating Europe's gun crime capital

That’s less than a non-response. Self-inflicted sabotage of your own credibility.

Openly advertising your inability to understand why you disagree well enough to make others comprehend your stance with actual sentences that mean things.

So you try to pretend that a witty remark counts for something.

If you ever genuinely tried good-faith discussion, you’d see how little sense your position makes as you’d struggle to put together arguments that actually convince anyone.

Obviously this person shouldn’t be walking free, and needs serious rehabilitation.

But the same way adult ex-cons who end up back in prison in the US within months of release due to a fucked justice system, are victims, this literal child groomed into a tool to enact violence at the behest of others, is even moreso.

MentalEdge , 3 days ago (edited 3 days ago) to world in How Sweden's youth homes nurtured killers, creating Europe's gun crime capital

Yeah.

Kill that guy for us, or we’ll kill you, you owe us, sorta requires understanding death.

You think these kids take the “deal” knowing where it leads? Even some adults are easy to manipulate… so a fourteen-year-old?

I’d agree that some teen that kills of their own volition isn’t innocent… But there’s a literal gang involved that is actively grooming kids for murder.

As for the government letting it happen, agreed. Modern politics, legislation, and government executive branches address problems at a snails pace. Often actively causing them because politicians refuse to enact laws based on what is known, rather than what they feel.

Kinda like you, feeling like the victimhood of this actual child shouldn’t be acknowledged.

An attempt to address this with such a tainted perspective surely wouldn’t cause problems. /S

The kid is a victim.

And in Sweden what in the US would be called a “juvenile detention center” would fall under the term of “youth home”. He wasn’t returned to the same one.

I don’t think they’re exactly leaving him unguarded, being underage, there isn’t another type of facility suited for legally incarcerating him. These facilities essentially double as juvie and orphanages.

Mixing kids who are simply in government care with ones that are violent, was never a good idea though. These two systems should be separate, because it’s now turning the former into the latter.

According to accounts for this story from eight sources including a former gang member, several youth home workers, prosecutors and criminologists, the homes have turned into recruiting grounds for gangs, who use them to enlist killers too young to be jailed.

Gangs have essentially found a loophole for legal murder. Get a child to do it.

They’re the ones masterminding this shit. It’s not like these actual children, with government rooves over their heads, are taking on contract killing to make ends meet.

MentalEdge , 4 days ago to retrogaming in Best way of playing Wipeout these days?

Other way around. Pure and Pulse were PSP first, then PS2 and later PS3.

The PS2 port of Pulse is graphically superior, and can be run using PCSX2. HD has the same content.

Instability might be due to shader translation, should go away as more shaders are compiled and cached.

Vita3k for 2048 runs very well (with compilation stutters only at first), and you can get the HD and Fury DLC for it to access the PS3 content (though with lesser graphics).

Also intermixed and partly interchangeable with play.

The adaptation is fantastic. It even elevates some parts beyond what is possible in manga, taking full advantage of the way animation, sound and music allow for more complex expression of a narrative.

The manga is also great, and worth experiencing. Having read it in no way ruined the anime for me.

The story is so insanely full of details that even if you don’t get into both manga and anime, whichever medium you prefer is worth watching/reading twice, just because you notice and put together new things on a second go.

Dungeon Meshi, or Delicious in Dungeon, is a renowned manga series by Ryoko Kui, and my personal favourite of all time.

The first half of an anime adaptation by Studio Trigger (of Kill la Kill and Cyberpunk Edgerunners fame) just wrapped.

It’s about a party of adventurers that lose one of their members deep in a dungeon, right before using a return spell to get all but that one member back to the surface to safety.

Having lost most of their gear, provisions and all of their funds, they resort to the taboo of eating the monsters they kill as they delve back into the dungeon to retrieve the remains of their lost companion, so they might revive her.

The entire story takes place within just this one dungeon, and is a masterclass in extreme-detail world building and lore. The same goes for the characters.

The series starts off at a slow burn, masquerading as a comedy with unusually intricate worldbuilding, but slowly develops into a phenomenal fantasy story that dives deep into its characters.
