There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don’t even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.

And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn’t “a full scale war”. Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.

I think “modern game” is really a semantics thing tbh. Like, is Age of Empires 2 a modern game, old game, or ancient game? I think it really comes down to how you’re playing the game, rather than the year of original release.

Worms: Armageddon is another example. Is it an ancient game because of its release date, or is it a modern game because people are developing new rules and scripts to play the game by every year?

Considering Factorio is still in development and has a major upcoming DLC release, I’d call it modern. Plus the modding scene is still pretty active.

I think there’s a good chance people will leave once Lemmy integrates with Threads. So if you time things wisely, you can probably get a good base of users to swap their coms to Sublinks.

What’s your planned policy for karma? I know users hated it, but as a reddit mod I found it super useful to determine between a misinformed user and a troll. If your plan for mod tools is as good as you’re saying, I wouldn’t mind going back to modding.

CSAM is still unfortunately an issue on Lemmy. Just yesterday I had to contact an admin of the 2nd largest instance directly to get a post removed that had been up for several hours. Worst of all, it had more upvotes than downvotes. I do applaud the admin for taking action the minute I notified them, but it should never have been able to get that far.

Also, some of the issues involving Lemmy developers really remind me of major Minecraft servers back in the day lol. There’s just an inability for the “helpers” to do much problem solving because of the lack of tools, and absolute reliance on the person at the top to take action. Even then, the person at the top doesn’t always have the skill set necessary to solve the issues that arise.

I look forward to seeing how Sublinks goes, but without a good reason for users to migrate it could be dead on arrival.

Hopefully we get a game crossover with TW:Troy like in the Warhammer series. It’s a pretty similar time period and uses all the same resources, so I could see Agamemnon doing battle with Ramses.

I personally have gone the route of having a full resume that includes all the details of my employment history, and then I’ll use that as a basis for creating a specialized 2-page resume for the job I’m after.

i.e. if I won’t be working with animals then I won’t put down employment at a dog groomers. If I won’t be cleaning, then I won’t write “custodian” on the 2-page resume. I do however leave anything that includes certification, management, or other merits. Or anything relevant to the job I’m applying for.

From there, I just adjust the dates to fill in long gaps between employment. I still leave a few weeks or months between job titles so if they ask during an interview, then I can go over the jobs not included in my resume and blab about “finding my true passion in employment” and all that other fake shit. I do not dream of labor.

The worst part is that you might be better off with a pirated copy due to DRM on Blu-ray.

If you only use the TV to watch media, you’re lawful neutral. If you use it for gaming or anything else, you’re chaotic good.

Fuck it 🤷🏻‍♀️ my uncle dropped 8k on a 3D printer post-divorce, and if working on a lil art and engineering makes him feel better I can support that.

They don’t have any taste even if you chew on them a bit. The box does have a slight shrub odor, but it doesn’t seem to be present when using them.

Yes. There’s a gui software called ‘Nmkoder’ that has an encoder built in called AV1AN. It basically cuts the entire video into a bunch of short segments, renders several copies of each short segments at different CRF values (basically Handbrake’s RF values), gets the VMAF for each segment, saves only the one thats closest matches your Target VMAF, and stitches it all together at the end.

It works for AV1 and HEVC, and let’s you pause and resume an encode at any time, though the whole process is quite a bit slower.

The real problem though is that doesn’t produce an even size between source materials of different sizes. For example: a 5 GB Amazon screen rip can encode down to 1.5 GB at 95 VMAF or so. However a 60 GB bluray rip encodes down to 24 GB. One thing I really look for in an encode is a 5-15 MBPS HEVC video stream, so this doesn’t really get what I’m wanting in most cases. It is fun to experiment with though.

I’ve tried to look into this by analyzing the media and encoder information, and all I’ve come up with is that tigole is slightly larger than Silence (by like 4%), but seems to use the exact same “sets” of encoding profiles. So in theory I believe they should be identical, but in practice might not be.
