I love Blake. Such a fierce point of view, and the painting in those illuminated books really enhances the impact of the poetry. Though the writing itself is also sublime.

I remember being a young teen and thinking The Best Page In The Universe was peak humour.

I think FarmVille might genuinely be the "correct" answer for this question, but it was never going to win a popular vote contest like this.

Not even big instances, but big platforms I would say. Like, if you're lucky someone might have heard about Mastodon, but that's pretty much it.

New Nicole spotted?

Any plans to add swipe gesture actions to posts/comments?

Oh, you know what happened? I just realized, I hadn’t even read the introductory material and realized it was from a public survey. It’s a “first past the post” problem.

First past the post is remarkably shit isn't it. I think your analysis is completely right.

If the American Experiment produces a President Trump, can we now conclusively say that it was a failure?

It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel.

Funny how that works. Wonder if not mentioning it will help remedy that?

The fediverse, also known as the open social web that includes Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, Pixelfed, and other apps (...)

Mention Lemmy for once 😠

I enjoyed the early mythos of M:tG, but I already started losing interest when they went all Marvel with their whole Gatewatch thing.

Even though individual sets (like LOTR) have been well made and successful, the whole Universes Beyond thing just further dilutes the identity of Magic too much for me. I'm sick of endless exploitation of existing IPs from all over the entertainment business. I understand why they do it from a financial perspective, but it doesn't appeal to me at all.

Add to that the endless garbage of Secret Lair drops like goddamn Spider-Man and SpongeBob and I think MTG just isn't for me anymore.

 

I used to go to BrrrakeF1 (an ex race engineer for Red Bull), and would listen to the Engine Braking podcast for my F1 analysis fix in podcast form because of him. It's been over a year since he's quit content creation by now though, and I'm feeling the void still.

Does anyone else know of a podcast with good technical knowledge? KYLE ENGINEERS is always good for aero analysis at the start of a season, but ideally I want something more regular than that.

Amazing interview in 3 parts with one of not only the prominent writers behind the game, but one of the co-creators of the setting through years of tabletop sessions and world building. Amazing insights into the game, the development and the lore - an absolute must watch for anyone obsessed with Disco Elysium.

The beautiful game.

 

As an early contributor to Disco Elysium, as well as a member of Kurvitz's tabletop sessions over the years, Martin Luiga discusses Elysium, as well as touches on his relationships with Robert and Argo Tuulik and more. He also confirms he, Robert, Alex Rostov and Helen Hindpere are in fact working on something for Red Info.

Worth listen!

 

This one has Argo Tuulik and Lenval Brown involved, which lends some serious credibility to the project in my eyes. Tuulik was one of the prominent writers of Disco Elysium, as well as one of the settings' co-creators as one of the players in Kurvitz's tabletop RPG sessions.

 

Pictured in this graph: what xG does to a motherfucker.

I thought this graph was super interesting as it is a near-perfect illustration of when data analytics and advanced statistics started to enter into football (2014-2016) and some of the effects it's had on the game.

EDIT: Forgot to paste a link to the complete article.

 

Post the match IDs of any games where you thought matchmaking was poor into the linked thread in order to help tune the algorithm.

DISCLAIMER: The past 24h (Oct 3-4th) have had extra poor matchmaking due to a bug, so omit any IDs from that time frame.

 

It's very sad to see one of the most high-effort Dota content creators stop. I completely sympathise with their reasons, but I will sorely miss their videos as there were so many heroes I wish they'd gotten to do videos about.

 

We're finally off the ground! 8 teams left, who are your favourites? What do you think about the arena and production? Will we see any fun surprise?

Watch live on Twitch or YouTube .

Still have an open void in your life since the Olympics ended? Why not fill it with some esports? Valve's huge The International tournament for Dota 2 started this week, so I thought I'd make a promo post for its community here on Lemmy.
