Senkaku islands, there’s pretty regular posturing from both sides over the ownership of a couple barren rocks since they have implications for territorial waters.

Here’s the wikipedia article:

Senkaku Islands Dispute

If you declare bankruptcy and owe the bank an amount in excess of their yearly earnings, that’s a bigger problem for them than for you.

What methods do you think could be used to force repayment from the US?

Got a source, or did you happen to overhear this bit of conversation yourself?

Great point, after all we are all familiar with the historical example of the Hitler Youth overthrowing the government in Nazi Germany.

*Saudi Arabia’s Twitter. Who knew a far right authoritarian government would support far right propaganda? I am frankly shocked.

You have to keep in mind Saudi Arabia are the real owners of Twitter, sure their interests are aligned with Musk generally but you’re missing some important context if you boil it all down to Musk.

Those tags don’t work on Wefwef either ☹️

The only issues I have are with the Battlenet launcher, it sometimes crashes during startup when first opening D4 seemingly at random but once the game is running I don’t have any issues. Currently running it on Proton Experimental.

As far as settings go, at default settings D4 seems to be extremely taxing on the GPU (constant >=97% usage, high temps, crashes regularly after running for a while), although this seems to be common to all systems including PS5/Xbox.

Locking refresh rate and in-game menu FPS to 50fps keeps the power and GPU usage much lower and I get stable performance with no crashes.

Play it on the couch sitting next to my wife while we watch tv or movies in the evenings.

Spending nights sitting at a desktop (or monopolizing the TV) is frequently impractical and honestly unappealing to me, the SD makes it extremely convenient to play whenever.

I would not recommend Lutris/wine for D4 since it tuns perfectly on Proton Experimental, at that point you are just introducing another layer of potential compatibility issues that are completely unnecessary. I tried using Lutris on launch day and it was a total headache with various components being incompatible.

Just install the launcher in desktop mode and add it as a steam game, then set compatibility mode to Proton Experimental. Done.

I have not been able to stop playing D4, but Grim Dawn plays absolutely perfectly on the Deck, one of the games I would recommend the most.

Bethesda really has no incentive to actually make TES6 so long as they have healthy subscribers for TES Online, I’m not surprised at all the game has likely been put on ice until the next generation.

Fortunately Starfield looks amazing and will hopefully fill that void for most of us who want a single player experience.

Is there any way to cross-index between kbin/lemmy so that threads show up under All? I joined kbin first but ended up changing to lemmy since the iOS experience was cleaner, it would be nice to make it simpler for the two to interact.
