[email protected] might interest you. It's an experimental community that employs a really interesting bot that scans users all across the lemmyverse, and prevents the most toxic people from participating. It seems to work fairly well, so far.

The old 2003 game 'Vietcong' is still, IMHO, the most realistic depiction of jungle combat conditions in the Vietnam war (at least, in a singleplayer game). It can oftentimes be a janky, overly hard game, but there's still nothing else quite like it all these years later.

The jungle is dense for that period, the AI is surprisingly tactically aware (at least from memory. They would ambush you, flank the player, and I think even run away if they were losing an engagement), there's deadly, well camouflaged traps everywhere, making slowly walking the safest way to move around, the fights are short and deadly, and most impressive of all, it licensed a lot of famous 60's songs from that era.

It can be a difficult game to get running on modern windows, but there might be some community patches for that. It would probably run better under Linux with wine.

If you're looking for a hardcore singleplayer experience to explore that conflict from a historical context, I'd recommend giving it a shot.

Apparently the games that did use that technique, like idtech games and splinter cell, generally all had small environments that were within the limitations of the hardware, where as halo 2 had massive environments that stressed it too far with the lighting active.

The video details how all of Halo 2's assets were made with stencil shadows in mind after the bungie devs saw it in Doom 3. However, the OG Xbox ended up not having the processing power to do those critical, deep shadows, so they returned to the flat lighting of the first Halo, which resulted in a much less stylized game. The video creator shows how the game was meant to be experienced by showing all of the different character models in one of the few places in the game that retained a small section of dynamic shadows, which really drives his point home of how much better it would've looked overall.

Have you tried any other video playing application to see if the problem persists?

Heyo, would you be interested in co-modding the Buy It For Life community with me? It's a low-activity community, would be a good option for getting your feet wet with modding! :D

That's quite strange. Your post is not showing up from the lemmy.world instance for me as well, but it does show up from our instance. As far as I can see in the modlogs over there, you haven't been banned from that community or lemmy.world, and your post wasn't removed either.

I tried posting to a Lemmy.world community just now to test it, and it showed up on the 'new' view there after about 50 seconds, so federation appears to be working.

Could you try posting another article in that world news community to see if the issue persists?

Please be aware, Odysee was recently purchased by a Crypto company that also acquired an NFT company.

I would not recommend investing any time or money into the platform, as it will inevitably crash and burn as the owners walk away flush with cash while everyone else is left holding the bag.

Peertube is not ideal, but it is currently the only alternative that isn't tied to a shady crypto scheme.

They used c++ initially since it was spawned from SerenityOS, which was designed to be a mashup of win2000 and unix.

now that Ladybird is its own project, it's not constrained to that goal, and they have said they will incorporate modern languages.

Ahh, you're the guys who posted over in reddit before your thread got locked that think it's a good idea to promote Russian propaganda equally with Ukrainian content, because you don't want to 'Take sides' politically. Closed source too, so that's pretty much a dealbreaker right there, especially for Privacy focused users. We've been abused by closed source software for far too long to trust anything less.

You also have absolutely no plan on how to monetize, as others have said in this thread already.

I certainly won't be supporting you, not with those values.

They're not specifically feeding them plastic only, he's showing how any waste food (old potatos, old bread, chips, etc) that comes to be processed does not have the plastic bags removed before going into a grinder to become feed.

He actually shows how it's explicitly allowed in his state regulations, likely approved due to the efforts of an agribusiness lobbyist. I suspect that any negative effects to the pigs is not enough to effect the end product/bottom line, or doesn't manifest within the timeframe of a viable animal for slaughter.

Interesting aside for anyone interested; you can subscribe to her Peertube account with your Lemmy account by searching [email protected] in your instance's search bar (or clicking that link). Then any video she uploads in the future will show up in your lemmy feed, and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video! :D
