Well, then it must have been pretty true to the character because many people felt the antagonists had a good point in that show. In fact, many believe the series failed because of the way this arc was handled in that respect.

Just for those who don’t know: Maj. Bong was the highest scoring American ace of WWII with 40 (IIRC) kills. He mostly flew the P-38 in combat and was killed test-flying the P-80 shortly after the war.

I’m jealous of the optimism that markets can fix stuff.

432·5 days agoOn the whole, achievements encourage players to do stuff that isn’t fun. Sometimes they’re funny or encourage good gameplay, but too often they’re just busywork, mindless random drops, or insane investments in time/skill.

Technology@lemmy.world•I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss WindowsEnglish
115·9 days agoLinux can be intimidating. And there is going to be a learning curve. Especially if you’re the kind of windows user who’s familiar with gpedit and has custom .bat files.
But what get’s left out is the joy and satisfaction that comes with learning how to Linux. I just re-installed my OS a week ago, and I was able to recognize and resolve dependency and permissions issues without having to look anything up. I also finally learned and started using rsync for backups over SSH/SAMBA. I know it’s not much, but it made me feel like a real hackerman.
The only thing I learned in my last few years of Windows was how to disable features that annoyed me.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs.
2·9 days agoBecause of the massive amounts of data LLMs need, there will always be garbage input. So the overall quality is limited to “average” writing. Punctuation, grammar, and spelling can be imitated rather easily. Quality prose cannot.

7·10 days agoThey don’t need you to use AI to make revenue. They need you training AI to make it into a profitable product… that will replace you.
The cliche about how if the service is free, then you are the product is only half true. The other half is that participating in social media is also unpaid labor generating valuable IP without compensation or ownership.
I don’t care about mods or FPS in the hundreds. I care that the games are discounted to a reasonable price, include all the content, and fully patched/ optimized.
Any game ported to the PC needs to recognize controllers that are plugged in after launch and need to have a “quit to desktop” option.
