Most gamers prefer single-player games in c/games@sh.itjust.works

"Most" in more than a simple majority in my understanding of English as a non-native speaker. "More" would be a better word for it. I'd also take "single player is the most popular" of two game modes which is true but still implies more than 6% difference.

Are you Spanish or Arabic speaking by any chance?

Yeah and then there would he couple of dudes like "Don't worry guys, we'll take one for the team and eat the spoiled fruit again" and go on a major bender without the prude non-spoiled fruit eaters

Nice one, I guess you can count it as a wooden sword with obsidian teeth. I somehow had a picture of a metal stick with an edge in my head and I knew Aztecs didn't have those. Thanks for linking it

If Palestine got to have its own recognized (by everyone including Israel) and sovereign state, what other different current nation would it most likely resemble? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

West Bank and Gaza are separate governments. Israel made a contract with Jordan Valley farmers to get their water rights in exchange for a steady water supply that they never delivered. Then after a while because they couldn't farm without water they told them "your land is unused so we're going to use it for a settlement".

There is water in the West Bank but it's not reliable since Israelis need to water their crops first.

Fermentation is just what happens when you accidentally leave stuff in a container that limits oxygen. It's easy to make alcohol my accident. Then there's also the fact than we don't know how well connected the world was before writing. We know farming developed independently from studies of soil in lakes and whatnot but recipes are much harder to pin down as something invented independently.

Not sure about the swords part but the Aztecs didn't any.

Big part of Palestinians are Christian and their doing fine. Homosexuality is currently not legal and we don't know if independent Palestine would have fixed it on not because Israel forbids them from holding elections. Same applies to most other issues, but one thing is for sure that they will have better agriculture and trade and more opportunities as a free country. Israel is essentially blockading Gaza and West Bank gets double tariffs and no water for farming.

My religion is atheist? in c/atheism@lemmy.world

In Iceland the beurocratic term for religion is "life opinion association". You can give your tax money to the secular humanist guys that do marriage ceremonies etc.

I think Nix is the future. I feel like at some point we could have fedora ublue for all distros by using nix with GUI configs.

Sleeping tricks (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995) (lemmy.world)
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

Help wanted: Girlfriend said she was feeling Khorne-y (lemmy.world)
 

So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

Any help very much appreciated.

Activities destroyed when swapping apps HyperOS (lemmy.world)

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)

Distro for a local "cloud gaming" no monitor desktop (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks.

I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though.

The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH.

I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card.

So it boils down to:

  • Ease of setup including nvidia drivers
  • Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers)
  • Graphics performance
  • Prefer Ubuntu based

I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE.

Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it
