Sounds like a good trade, strategically. Do it again.

Unless you use zram. Compressing pages is pretty useful as an intermediate stage.

Revenge against former political opponents? Sounds about right.

Desperate to fight Steam, Epic burns money like firewood – but admits the Epic Games Store kind of sucks and "there's still a ton of work to be done" with "long overdue features" in c/pcgaming

Their active hostility toward Linux users has put me off them pretty much permanently. If they made a big push toward Linux support, I might look at them more favourably.

They clearly don't want me as a customer: fuck 'em.

They skipped step one of enshittification. You've got to GET the customers before you can leverage them against your suppliers.

What's the percentage on transgender people? 1% or lower? Way lower, even. I say we open the gates and accept as many as want to come in. Couldn't be more than a couple million people.

I think you got that backwards. How many F16s has Russia shot down?

Lots of men in the time period saw women's suffrage as a positive thing, so I don't think it would be that inconsistent even if.

Wouldn't have happened if there weren't broad support, even if a vocal minority.

It's an old joke, but it still checks out.

Dandelion leaves (blanched) are good in salads and pestos.

Grinding out level 5 fire (lemmy.ca)

Cooking a moose and working on "Skilled Survivor", really enjoyed this screenshot from a cave in Bleak Inlet.

Also, I've found that if you really need a very fuel-efficient cooking method, having multiple fires going lets you use one stick for like 25 minutes of runtime, since stuff still cooks during "Embers" and pauses for a while afterwards. A pile of sticks can cook a ridiculous amount of meat by doing continuous relights among a bunch of fires. It's a lot of work, but if you're short fuel, it might be worth it.

Saw this while mapping in HRV. Very pretty.

bear vs moose (imgur.com)

TLD-adjacent. Maybe moose and bears should fight each other!

There's that one spot in PV in the birch forest where they both spawn. That should be a bit of a bloodbath. Also, maybe free meat?

Here's a perennial favourite: what features would you like added to the Long Dark, or what features would you like to see simplified or removed entirely?

(This is a decathread because we are too small to have megathreads yet)

(This might end up being my own personal gripe thread, so buckle up)

From a Youtube comment:

"Sadly the creator of this mash-up has passed away. His name was Erwin Beekveld and he died on 30th of march 2022 aged 52. Thank you for all the joy you gave us, Erwin. Rest In Peace"

Pour one out for an OG memelord.

In case this community catches on, I'll need people to help moderate. Preference given to people with a proven record of moderating Reddit or Lemmy communities, and preference also to active posters on /r/thelongdark.

Pepper-pepper-pepper asiago sourdough bread. 4% toasted and ground peppercorns, 20% asiago cheese, 1% garlic powder, generous pinch of Japanese shichimi (7spice) and red pepper flakes. Probably 85% hydration.
