The undeservedly little-known Planet Explorers¹ has a rather nice voxel engine and is using it well. Mine anything, dig tunnels in any shape, modify terrain, etc. Without the cuboid look. ¹ https://store.steampowered.com/app

The Thames is still very much opaque. Not near-opaque.

Where's the source? Why does it say "Pricing" on the website if it's free? This isn't free, it's just an attempt at free publicity.

Yup. In the sense that the unstoppable guillotine blade is descending slightly slower onto our necks. Yay!

That depends. If you're on a slow connection, the 40 minutes to unpack something are nothing in comparison to the week it took you to download it. If used by the game publisher, the decompression could happen during download (I believe

Well, whatever the repackers (e.g. Fitgirl) use seems to work a lot better than what the game publishers use (often no compression at all). Original Size: 93.1 GB -> Repack Size: from 35.5 GB [Selective Download] Original Size: 3.1 GB -&

I've relearnt keyboard layouts once and know I can do it, but I also remember how long it took to get fast on the new one and how I don't want to do that again. Not to mention all the other issues with getting your new fancy layou

You put your money into something called "Kraken" (other than rum perhaps) and this surprises you?

To me that seems like an incredibly huge amount of code for an app user interface. Turbo vision certainly was much more efficient, or even wxWidgets.

This has never bothered me until moving on a boat, where top-loading fridges (often ice boxes with a compressor kit retrofitted) are the norm. Because energy supply is very limited. They are integrated into the kitchen work surface and doub

They're very common here in Europe. Although when shops get remodeled they usually are replaced with newer models that have doors (and now doors that close themselves, because people). Seems the energy costs have risen sufficiently to

I always read lichess as female lich. Then I get confused when I click on it and see chess boards. Probably played too many fantasy games.

Yup, downloading stuff reliably over lousy internet connections (packet loss, high latency, intermittent uptime). HTTP really sucks with that.

getlazarus.org appears to be a fan site. The builds are unofficial, but unlikely to be harmful. Might be safest to get the software from the official site or your distro packages though.

Imagine being groomed to do this job from birth, with no real way to opt out[1]. You wanted to breed horses, become a blacksmith or start a business? Get that nonsense out of your head, you're a princess! Then, when you're 25, you

Yeah, absolutely hated the Ozark (TV Series) look. Heavily desaturated, brightness turned down and shifted heavily into blue. Ruined what looks like pretty scenery in the background on photos. Compare that to Outlander, a cheesy romance sho

I absolutely hate monochrome. The trend of removing colour from something and calling it an improvement. In photography, in film, everywhere. Is it just me? Is there something different with my visual perception that makes me prefer colour

Most of us will have illegal, unregistered phones then, running hacked firmware. Just look at Russia, China or all the illegal satellite dishes on Saudi rooftops. It's an arms race all the way to the collapse of the system (or revoluti

At some point it'll be easier to run it as TOR hidden service, on Freenet or I2P and stop caring about the bullshit legislation.

What's your motivation, you just want more money? Do you like working there? Do you like the people? Then go talk to them, tell them what you want (but figure out what that is first), explain how you're going to have to go look fo

Quit job, moved country, got stuck in another cycle of dumb jobs. Quit those, bought a sailboat, moved on it, sailed the world for the last, uhm, 6 years now (time loses importance in this life). Found a wife on the way, learnt a lot of ne
