While any sentence longer than six months behind bars would make Berhe “subject to an automatic removal order,” said the judge, “Immigration Canada does stay removal orders to enumerated countries that are in a state of war or otherwise subject to violence, danger, terrorism, etc.; currently, Ethiopia is one such country.”

The title is misleading clickbait. The real story is that this guy had not one, but two illegal firearms, both being kept unsecured, threatened someones life with one, fled from arrest, and then only got three years in jail.

Maybe its a bit of a cheat answer, but the only song the comes to mind is I Like Trains by LilDeuceDeuce and Tomska.

Theres only so much one man can do to prop up a community. Reddit is still where you have to go for anything even remotely niche, since Reddit is thousands of times the size of the Fediverse. For example, if you wanted to get an alternative to the Dota 2 subreddit, you’d need a community maybe a 10th the size of Reddit’s Dota 2 community - equivalent to 5% of the Fediverse posting on a weekly basis. Right now, its roughly 0.0004% of the Fediverse, for reference.

I have for some, and had the same issues, but its solved now. Apparently secureboot messes with the GPU drivers or something. I turned that off and its working fine now.

This seems to have fixed it! Thank you!

Unfortunately its not just Portal thats the issue. Its everything.

It is connected to the graphics card. Like I said, it ran fine on Windows so its not a hardware issue.

It feels like there has been some dropoff, particularly in higher-budget areas. Big studios seem to be taking fewer risks, and small creators have less money (and time by extention) to spend on art.

That said, it also feels like discoverability has gotten far worse. Social media has become increasingly insular, more personalized, more algorighmic, and ultimately harder to explore. Its not like the old days, where you could find a new thing, even from a random person’s forum signature.

Story based motivators mean almost nothing to me, esspecially when told through non-gameplay means. Having an “intro” cutscene is almost akin to a text crawl/card in a movie - technically it works, and it can be an efficient way to give extra context, but its also likely to disrupt pacing or disorient - basically makes me want to watch less, rather than more. In the same way, I can’t think of any games where story played a significant part in motivation to continue. If I want to keep playing, its because the game is good, not because it told me I should.

Edit: Maybe to help clairify, good plot can be a motivator, but the character’s motivation is not my motivation. Whats important is that the plot is good, not that the protagonist’s goal is just.

According to the software section, the total is 54k monthly active users.

About 48k on Lemmy and 6k elsewhere.

I’m probably a bit biased given how much I love Overlord, but Hollow Hunger is a banger that fits the tone of the show perfectly.

Unfortunately, I’m looking for more “pure” casual games, rather than ones that are primarily puzzle or arcade games. Something more akin to Cookie Clicker or Bejeweled’s zen mode rather than Tetris or Brickbreaker. F-Droid doesn’t seem to really have much like that.

I had to look it up too, and found this old forum thread with people suprised to see it.

Too hot. Need to bad this one.
