Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.

That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.

I think it’s all of them, now that you mention it.

Indeed.

Yeah, that AI “shimmer” makes it really obvious, but I have to admit that I’ve been tricked some recently.

Yes, please!

We need a wider range of vehicle prices on the market. I bet a lot of people would go for barebones models for cheap if they had the option.

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

It’s a play on an existing meme format:

I’ve noticed this too. It feels like we’re culturally losing touch with even the relatively recent past, and I’m not sure what to think about it.

I guess it concerns me in the “those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it” kind of way.

I thought this was going to turn into a psychological thriller.

I had no idea what I was doing as a kid, and figuring out through trial and error which combinations and placements of units would cause them to do cool combo attacks was maddening.

I didn’t play the original Tactics Ogre, but I played a bit of the recent remake. It’s very much like FF Tactics, where you move individual units around on a grid, take turns, and adjust the direction they’re facing, etc.

Ogre Battle 64 is more like a full battle map with free, simultaneous movement. You traverse the battle map as sort of an overworld (?), then it switches to the autobattle combat interface when units run into each other.

They have some similarities, but I personally enjoy the Ogre Battle 64 approach more.

Not sure, but this appears to be the creator’s youtube page about it:

That’s so much. It seems to be getting a small spike in attention these days with some recent games inspired by it (like Unicorn Overlord, or a popular indie game called Symphony of War).

It’s an incredible game, but it feels like very few people were aware of it (at least in the US). The closest AAA game to it now would be Unicorn Overlord, if you’ve seen that.

You build squads of units and customize who’s in each party and which tile they stand on, then send them out to a battle map where you can direct them. When they run into enemies, it auto-battles sort of like Fire Emblem.

Fixed?

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.
