Rainbow Six Siege has had a pretty strong competitive scene for pretty much the entirety of it’s lifespan- it’s definitely fluctuated a bit in popularity, but the prize pools have always been reasonable numbers, and it’s always had decent viewership.

Ha, I didn’t remember what I used so I grabbed my phone to try Librera FD, and realized I already use it.

They definitely exist, but it feels like stubbornness at that point. It absolutely isn’t a lack of capability, it’s a lack of willingness.

Yeah. Mostly Argentina, but also Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay. That’s what the first comment was talking about- “To Argentina?”

Yeah, my DM threw a young white(I think) dragon at us pretty early in the campaign. It wasn’t meant to be a fight we won, we were only meant to drive it off and possibly have a sidequest type thing to go loot it’s lair later.

It tried to fly away. We teleported into the air after it, and I clung to it’s back and kept dropping divine smites in it until it died. Was fantastic.

That’s a weird limitation.

There’s a comm on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively, google FMHY. When I bailed from Spotify, I just used SpotDL to download all my music a playlist at a time. Worked fine, but might be a bit beyond your skill level to set that up.

It’s really just storage space that’s the limiting factor for me. I’m already uninstall/reinstall juggling a few games as it is so carving a partition to play with Linux hurts.

At some point I’ll grab a third SSD and make half of it a linux partition or something.

How dare you state such controversial opinions as, “calling 90% of your voters idiot racists might be bad for your chances of being elected”

Uh, really? The English version is pretty convincing that it is- it even lists three different methods they used over the years. The sources seem convincing, but I’m quite literally judging the book by it’s title there.

Well, that seems really neat. No Windows support, though, so I’ll check back in when I eventually finally definitely jump to Linux…

“I followed the directions” is what I expected from the punchline.

900 pages is nice. It’s enough to get me engaged, but not enough to drag.

Excellent, straight to the highest possible authority.

They’re memes, but they do still have meaning. Being fake-serious about the classifications used to be part of the joke, but that was about three social media platforms and ten years ago for me so maybe that part got lost.

My understanding was that all snakes are nope ropes, but only venomous ones are danger noodles. Is it the other way around?

All the guesses are either Gopher Snake or Garter Snake, so probably not a danger noodle. Just a nope rope.

Tbf, you can weaponize a lot of methods of FTL in a pinch.

In Mass Effect their guns literally work on the same fundamentals as their FTL, just scaled down.

40k’s Warp… well, it’s where Psykers get their power from so every space wizard is kinda weaponizing FTL at all times if you squint. The warp itself doesn’t need weaponizing, but you probably could.

Stargates just sort of… disintegrate things that are in the way when they open. I can’t remember an instance of them weaponizing that, but I’d be shocked if it never happens.

Early versions of Stellaris had something similar, but reduced in scale- it’s a 4X grand strategy where you’re basically controlling a spacefaring species you create, if you’re not familiar with it.

They did away with multiple FTL systems at some point, but early on in the games lifespan when creating your species you’d pick between hyperdrives, wormholes, or warp iirc.

Hyperdrives were basically Star Wars style space travel- predetermined FTL ‘roads’ in space that you can travel along.

Warp was ‘the ship teleports from where it is to where it’s going’.

Wormhole was the most interesting one to me, because it used giant ‘hubs’ you’d need to build in space to… well, make a wormhole from the hub to wherever the ships were trying to go. The downsides were that you had to build hubs and they were expensive, and you could only actually leave from the hub itself which had a limit on how many wormholes it could make. The upside was that it had dramatically better range than the other FTL options so you could build one on the borders of an enemy and then basically show up wherever you wanted.

deploy a huge solar sail and wait two weeks to charge the capacitors.

The one exception are JumpShips (usually WarShips) with Lithium-Fusion batteries, which allow for a second jump without the recharge time. Those are functionally extinct in the Inner Sphere outside of Comstar, though.
