It’s so weird that elves are now the good guys. They were actually dream spirits that give you nightmares (engl. nightmare ≫ german Alptraum = elf dream). And no, they weren’t described having otherworldly beauty.

It’s also believed that nordic elves and dwarfs are the same beings in the Edda. The nordic word for elf is álfr which often is part of dwarf names.


Earth Defence Force 5

There’s mostly only some really funny voice over during the missions. EDF6 is already there but the developer always takes his time to translate the game into English.


I recommend Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

It’s a tactical role playing game which means you have a bunch of characters that you level up in and outside of tactical battles.

Maybe you like it.


The company structure only exists to provide a way to hire gitea developers for paid work.

For now. But n the long run the focus will shift to profit. That’s a totally normal thing.


It’s not about that.

If the game loop doesn’t run at the same speed as the render loop you’ll get ‘tearing’ - some game objects are at the latest state, some are not. That can cause some funky bugs.


Because it’s easier to programm a single thread that executes a sequence of commands like [ update-gamelogic, update-graphics, etc. ] instead of at least 2 threads (for gamelogic and graphics) that you have to synchronize somehow. Synchronization can be pretty difficult!


According to source the ecc has to ‘kick-in’ about 3700 times per year and dimm module. That’s 10 times per day and dimm.

Depending on how important your server is to you you’ll either need it (in case of important data you absolutely don’t want to lose) or forget about it (just a hobby project, nothing serious).


If Valve really allows nix then future mods & stuff can be provided through that. As long as a person manages to create a nix config for whatever everyone can let nix replicate that on any device anywhere and anytime.

That guy managed to install and run Blizzard games? Share the config.

That other guy is able to tweak an intricate feature? Just share the config.

How much knowledge do gamers need to apply that config? Close to nothing.

It’s a really neat thing.


I really liked both Freespace games and also played FSO. 🥰 Too bad there’s no FS3. 😭🤧😢

Elite Dangerous has nice graphics and fantastic sound but I find it boring. 😪

X4 is less of a space shooter and more of a economy simulator. 🤑
