They’re related but not the same. Political correctness is about taking steps not to offend anyone. Wokeism is more about acknowledging societal issues and lack of inclusivity.

Short answer: 1000 came before 500.

Nuanced answer: An Amiga (don’t recall the original name) was released at some point, and Amiga decided to make a cheaper alternative. This cheaper alternative was the 500, and the older model was retroactively renamed 1000.

Is this the opposite of “come at me bro” ?

I generally recommend linux mint for beginners, mostly because it’s pretty great at working out of the box, and it pretty general purpose.

Also, it’s reasonably user friendly and easy to use.

Yup, pretty much. I’ll lazypaste the response an instance admin made after I asked a similar question recently:

Probably the community follower bot which several instances subscribe to. It’s a way of automating new communities discovery. There are about 40 of them.

Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2… but if you’re into the genre you might want to check out Juno.

In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA which is currently in early stages of development. As there’s no official website yet, I try to keep on top of any dev updates and nuggets of information so I can update the lemmy community.

It’s all mysterious and important, I assume?

Yes. China’s great firewall mostly handles content filtering and deals with low hanging fruit. Getting around it is fairly simple, and the censorship is mostly focused on stuff that would otherwise be easily accessible by the broader population.

VPN is your obvious choice here. CCP blocks most public VPN providers, so you’d have to roll your own.

You can set up a VPN concentrator somewhere in the world, and you would be able to reach it. As far as I’ve noticed, they don’t block VPN as a whole, and default port should work fine - the reason for this is probably that VPN has many commercial uses that they don’t want to harm.

Source: I run a (work-related) VPN accessible from inside china.

No need for a lawyer. I preemptively saw (see?) that the goon walked into a door.

I recommend looking at businesses that are closing moving or upgrading. I have a literal stack of old switches retired from work. 48 ports, gigabit, and free.

I was thinking of taking an enema meant for donkeys, but I guess whichever method is approved by RFK Jr “works”.

Contracting silicosis to own the libs. Then use some sort of donkey enema as a cure.

Freeze some water into suitably sized balls. I guess that technically fits the design spec.

Bought a brand new Lenovo Legion last fall. First thing I did was to nuke the harddrive and install linux Mint. Everything worked out of the box.

Fair enough. I don’t share in your pessimism, though - They are well aware that many KSP fans are jaded by Take2 murdering the potential for a sequel, so they’re focusing on creating something viable before marketing. And I’ve seen the other games they’ve made - They seem to know what they’re doing, and with HarvesteR onboard (who actively participated in the previous townhall, so it’s not just for bragging rights) they seem to have quite a decent team put together.

Well, this early in the process, trying to pick up what you can is really the only thing you can do. But I’m trying to condense as much confirmed info as I can in the “what we know so far” post.

As for steam, the distribution system is far from set in stone, other than them really wanting to avoid integrating the steam API in the game itself with the limitations this involves. It’s still possible it will be downloadable via steam, though. We’ll just have to wait and see.

It’s still very early in development, so there isn’t much info beyond the occasional show-and-tell. No need to waste time setting up a website when it only contains info that is likely to change.

From the looks of it, they don’t focus on PR yet because they want to have something to allow players to test before they actually start looking at contributions. “The proof is in the eating, not in the pudding”.

In the most recent townhall they did there was a question whether the townhall would become a recurring thing to which they basically said “when we have something to show, we’ll show it.”

Some nuggets can be seen from time to time on the discord, but the fact of the matter is that setting up the core foundation onto which game mechanics can be later doesn’t result much PR worthy content.

I recommend checking out the townhall I linked in one of the posts, as it gives a pretty good view of what they’re currently working on, the status of the engine (not really a game yet), as well as some insight into how they’re working as a dev team.

Yeah, same. Take Foundation, for example. I absolutely love the books. And I think the TV adaption is pretty good too. Sure, they’re wildly different, but I’m fairly sure being true to the books simply wouldn’t work on the screen as there would be way too many characters and each sub-plots would be way too short. Adaptational changes are needed for a story to translate between formats.

My only complaint was that Ariel doesn’t have the firery red hair she had when I was a kid. But then again, I’m not exactly the target audience anymore, so I don’t really care. Nor have I seen the new movie for that matter. I hear she did a great acting job, though. I just hope she’ll be able to star in something that isn’t the target of the culture war.
