Anyone else notice the drip bucket and crack in the ceiling seem to be on opposite sides of the room?

At this point I’ll believe it when I see it.
TotesIllegitto Helldivers 2@lemmy.ca•Helldivers 2 Omens of Tyranny major update out now - ILLUMINATE ARE BACK!English6·5 months agoThey dropped the update during The Game Awards, timed to release while their update announcement trailer played at the event. They seem to have wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.
TotesIllegitto World News•North Korean troops so 'poorly trained that Putin army yet to throw them into fight'English7·5 months agoTraining people can be harder when the trainees have to unlearn bad habits or knowledge. Ask anyone who has tutored previously self-taught students an artform or craft.
In some ways, media exposure can help to introduce broad concepts, and sometimes there are excellent examples in media (My Cousin Vinny and Legally Blonde have been used in some US law school course curriculum to show how the parts of the judicial system are supposed to operate, iirc), but oftentimes preconceived notions can hinder training for the real thing.
TotesIllegitto Not The Onion•Man who found smooth Mars bar gets £2 compensationEnglish15·6 months agoAmerican here; you’re spot on. The US/Mexico version of the Milky Way bar has a layer of caramel in addition to the nougat, and 3 Musketeers is essentially the global version of Milky Way. Our bars may be also bigger in size.
TotesIllegitto Games•What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?English7·6 months agoThe Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It happened when important NPCs died, rendering unfinished or future quests associated with that character impossible to complete or start; iirc essential NPCs didn’t have immunity to damage and death in Morrowind like in later Bethesda titles, so these NPCs were protected only by the player reloading their save after getting this message upon the essential NPCs’ death.

TotesIllegitto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its DeckardEnglish4·6 months agoHonestly, I wanted to ditch the left trackpad for a D-pad and a couple more buttons on the back, but that’s all I really wanted. I found myself playing more FPS titles with the Steam Controller than with K+M because the trackball mouse feature worked very well for quick coarse camera movements and gyro aiming improved my fine camera movements for lining up shots.
I just got a Wii to play RE4, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and a couple GameCube games. I still need to get the component cable (I’m on composite, which isn’t ideal) but I’m finding it just as fun as I remember.
Tbf, as a Driller main I, too, drill straight toward objectives. Though I’ll ensure I don’t drill at too steep an angle, since I don’t want to have to bother jumping off I can avoid it. I’ll also drill straight toward the escape pod from whatever room the group is in, which usually winds up helping everyone.
In my group, the person that usually plays engineer has the nuke OC, so I’m generally not the main source of friendly fire. I do fight giant bugs’ with C4, though.
The Driller specializes in
drilling tunnels and igniting alien bugs with his flamethrowerusing C4 on Scouts.I love this game, even though I haven’t played in months. I’ve got a verified mod installed that gives every enemy googly eyes (and one semi-mobile plant that already looked like a Muppet opening and closing its mouth) which makes me very happy.
TotesIllegitto Games•Nintendo has lowered its Switch forecast after sales fell 31%English5·6 months agoNot to mention, a major reason why people buy Nintendo consoles is to play first-party Nintendo games. Sure, it’s possible to emulate those titles on PC and probably the Deck, but a lot of people either don’t know how or don’t want to invest the time, money or effort to do so when they know the game will just work on the intended console.
TotesIllegitto politics •Teary-eyed John Oliver begs reluctant voters to back HarrisEnglish13·6 months agoAre they forgoing voting in down-ballot races as well? Undervoting is a thing, and most electoral shifts start at the local level.

TotesIllegitto ADHD•Whats a small habit or change you could make to improve your life only 1% today or soon?English7·7 months agoI forget if it was here or back when I was on that other site where I read it, but at least a year ago someone suggested “don’t put it down, put it away” as a mantra to mentally recite whenever I’m holding something at home to prevent clutter build-up in common spits to sit. I don’t always follow it, but it’s been a huge help in managing my own item organization and management.
As a way to combat the difficulty I have with noticing messiness in visually busy environments like a household room, I also try to pick up a piece of refuse or dirty dish l that may have been forgotten whenever I know I’m going near or to the kitchen; I’ve developed that into a reliable habit, which is extra helpful when I forget why I went to the kitchen in the first place- only to go back to the kitchen for a second time, with yet another item in hand.
The individual actions are very easy, simple things I can remember to do in the moment when I think of them as I’m doing something else.
Edit: I’m aware the ask was about things we could implement, not have implemented, but I felt I hit the general idea; very simple changes that may improve QoL.
TotesIllegitto Games•Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 1: progressing through Sonic 2English21·7 months agoI remember planting so, so many rings in a single place with debug mode enabled in Sonic 2 just so I could play through each stage as Super Sonic without effort- aside from the super slippery controls.
TotesIllegitto News•Mail carriers reach tentative contract with USPS that includes pay raises and air-conditioned trucksEnglish2·7 months agoSome states don’t require observation of heat stroke risk mitigation for their workers. Getting it into their federal labor contract ensures a) the feature will be required as a functional feature in all their vehicles, and 2. they can’t be told not to turn the feature on.
TotesIllegitto RetroGaming•Jason Bradbury’s Upcoming Retro Gaming Movie ‘Ctrl AI Delete’ Passes 50% Funding | Retro DodoEnglish1·7 months agoThis was the only thing I could think of with that title.
My approach has been to accept some spaghetti or otherwise inefficient production lines when figuring out the new mechanics. Once I feel confident in my experience I’ll approach the next factory for similar production lines in a more efficient manner.
Crucially, I absolutely refuse to do a full teardown of my old spaghetti and inefficient structures so long as they’re still producing what I need of them (at most I’ll do the bare minimum to get them working again), and I try to limit how much rebuilding I need to do to incorporate new production lines to the existing system.
Is it inefficient? Yup. Does it lead to wild power fluctuations? You bet! Will I have to wait an extraordinary amount of time to complete each phase? Absolutely.
Likely never; our country has been allergic to holding people adequately accountable for abuses of power for a long time. Remember, Ford pardoned Nixon. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the next Democratic president doesn’t pardon Trump and/or most of these people in the name of bipartisanship.
