it’s a british/bbc-ism I learned the last time I saw a headline like this

red ring of death

my friends and i can never get past one or two quotas before we’re eliminated. we end up drowning on the way back to the ship or not finding enough scrap in time ;-; still fun though

To be fair, heading off implications of racism first and then saying “Russians” still reads poorly to me. I see now that wasn’t OPs intent, and we agree

Im sorry for assuming! You said “Russians” and I’ve seen lots of people not differentiate between the despots in power and the people who live under their fist, and it makes me sad.

Without doubt or racism? Every man, woman and child in Russia? Would it be racist to hate all Afghans because of the Taliban? A portion of the population supports this, but they live in a dictatorship, a kleptocracy. If you do not feel sadness for the loss of Russian life then you’re missing part of your humanity. They’re conscripting innocent and ignorant people and throwing them into a blender. The whole thing is disgusting.

You don’t have to be racist to call Putin a war criminal, or indeed those Russian soldiers who commit those crimes. You can support Ukraine 100% without hating every last Russian. I invite everyone to remember that the true enemy is Putin and oligarchs everywhere

e: this is not directed at op as they have clarified they r talking about the russian oligarchy

This is always how graphql works :)

I have a small site that mirrors hacker news but with dark mode and stuff, and it is getting blasted by bot traffic. All the data is freely available from the official api but they’re scraping my piddling site which runs on an anemic VPS because it looks like user generated content. Bot protection does little to help from my provider. Gonna have to rethink my whole architecture now. Very annoying

i mean its even excel sized depending on how many columns. This is seriously sad and alarming

Halo 2 is famously the most difficult legendary campaign in the entire series 😅

are you playing on PC? I think you said you were. Have you tried using Steam’s built in game recording/clipping feature? You coulda grabbed a sick cinematic clip of your flying chopper! Godspeed Chief o7

YES

My friend and I tried to do Halo 1 legendary as a duo. There’s a level earlyish on where elites with invisibility and plasma swords flood your small room. After the second hour jiggle peeking those fuckers with plasma pistols, we finally cleared the room and moved on, only to enter a second room where elites with plasma swords and invisibility poured in 🥲

We have since given up lol

thanks! didn’t know about that

Why?

it’s offended developers who have been forced to make awful UX/UI for sure. i had to change mine back to an upvote :)

Some of these are almost photorealistic if you squint! Your friend being false jump scared then real jump scared is hilarious

while this is obviously great news, HIV hasn’t been a death sentence in over a decade

I would guess it’s possible. I had a friend with a hacked Wii and it could run like anything. Probably easier today than it was then to sideload

edit: I’m probably wrong! See below
