Which is a shame, because it’s just as fun as FO4 otherwise.

I get you. I would definitely play a Tale of Two Wastelands mod that combines Fallout 4 and 76.

Isn’t an initialism a subcategory of acronym by definition?

Is that correct? I think by definition an initialism can be considered a form of acronym. The way I worded the question includes those subsets of acronyms

Not the best to any degree but just wanted to shout out the Pimps at Sea mod for Halo MCC that adds boats

Is Black Flag good to play if you don’t like or follow the over arching story of Assassins Creed?

I felt like it kind of pulled me out of other games in the series

Another one that came to mind is TF2. I like Titanfall 2 more than Team Fortress 2 but I associate the acronym with Team Fortress 2.

I wish there was an option to turn off link-only posts. At least have something in the body of the post. Maybe a quote or a TLDR. Otherwise it just feels like a bot posting.

I am not a fan. I don’t like link dumps. It doesn’t create a discussion and the article or whatever is being relayed might be total shit and there could be better or more direct sources.

If I saw a Hackaday article about a neat project on GitHub I wouldn’t just post the article with the original title. I would probably link the GitHub page and in the body of the post link the article with a quote and maybe post similar projects in case people are interested.

I specifically dislike the bots that repost content from Reddit. The communities they post to feel fake and end up receiving so many posts actual Lemmy users posting to them get washed away in the flood.

It’s not a big deal for some communities (ex. Nature photos) but doesn’t make sense for discussion focused ones.

I block those bots

Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

I was thinking earlier today what Legate Lanius would have thought seeing the Courier use every single chem in his inventory before talking to him.

I wonder if they would reuse the scraps similar to how Lego reuses defective bricks

Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it’s a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.

I believe they are sold in the same size box as any other soap so I don’t think transportation would really matter.

Yeah. “Dairy products” and ice cream is an example I feel like more people are aware of.

That was what I was getting at. From what I’ve read online Dove’s use of synthetic detergent and claims of moisturizing are reasons why it can’t be labelled as soap under the FDA

Thanks for the reply.

Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.

Would it really be that expensive?

From my understanding soap is usually pushed into some kind of oval plate to be trimmed before being pushed again into a press that shapes and stamps it simultaneously. If a company already needed a custom mold for a stamped label would the shape make much of a difference? Other than that I think the only alteration would be the plate the soap is pushed through. At a large scale the expenses related to not being able to use more common parts might add up I guess.

This does make me wonder how diverse large scale soap manufacturing equipment is. Maybe there is an industry-standard bar of soap and I’ve never noticed how similar different bars of soap are in shape to each other.

Kind of a neat concept.

Reminds me of projects that use open source engine recreations to create their own standalone games.

For example the dhwem3 (Doom 3) standalone game Rivensin.

I think they are separate and different enough to be enjoyed individually

Upvotes are meaningless on Lemmy and there’s usually duplicate communities hosted on different instances.

Why don’t you just join Exploding Heads and get it over with Tesla licker?
