Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

Seems like they're focusing on the body horror more than the previous installments with the close-up shots of facehuggers and that long-ass chest buster scene. Something tells me we won't get much in terms of story or character development, but I guess we'll see.

I think it'll be a fun watch, but also looks to be just rehashing everything we've seen out of the franchise already.

That sounds awesome.

It'd be cool to get enough of 'em together to start a decent Lemmy community.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.

Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -

  • when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
  • How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
  • do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up

Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch is a free fan project created by CutmanMike and Team MM8BDM which translates the Classic Mega Man games into a unique, yet very familiar first person shooter experience

... what? Fucking hell these free fan projects are out of control. This looks awesome.

I don't get NixOS

It's not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you'd then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven't messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.
