Yes, the rest of the world got the extra security restrictions in order to fly. I'm in Europe and we generally have better, faster rail networks than the US (and everything is closer together) so we don't fly as much as Americans.

I used to work in the US about 10 years ago, and the contrast between that and when I visited in the 1990s to go to Graceland is pretty stark. It takes forever now to get through those TSA queues and immigration. You could also smoke on the transatlantic flight in the 90s!

It really is like the wild west out here

Nope, sorry, I am still not having it. The Russians are the only ones jeopardising peace in the region. NATO is a defensive pact. If Russia didn't invade their neighbours, they would have nothing to fear from NATO. You are still apologising for Russian aggression and blaming its cause on the west, even if you're trying to say it in an intellectual way or "both sides" it.

just joking, it was Descartes.

it's really easy, I spun up my own instance in a morning. Ok, I am a sysadmin and programmer, but it really wasn't very difficult and didn't require much beyond creating a VPS and DNS entry along with basic abilities at the command line to use the ansible playbook.

Could we be refusing to accept it as truth because it isn't true? In what way has the US destabilised Ukraine? How did the US make Russia invade Ukraine? I can't find a way to make either of these statements make any sense at all. I'm British FYI and we have our own bone to pick with the Russians.

It feels strange, this argument that we (the western world) made Russia invade another country and rape children. If only Russia didn't have to invade another country and rape their women and children! If only! But we made Russia do it by talking to that country about joining a defensive pact against another country invading them and raping their women and children. I mean, Russia had to immediately invade and start raping, right? Because Ukraine were going to join some other countries who would come to their aid if Russia were to invade and start raping. Where would Russia be if they couldn't just invade countries and start raping women and children, right?

What the absolute fuck is wrong with people like you? What Russia has done is indefensible, so fucking stop it?

Prey is pretty great, really enjoyed that.

"the more he became inside me". Oddly arousing, number one.

These stats are insane. I don't understand how Russia can still fight effectively at this point if these are their losses.

been playing it via Yuzu EA builds. It runs just fine on the Deck at around 30fps, dipping to 20fps in some of the harder to render areas but it's certainly playable. I play on my gaming rig as well where it can easily keep a consistent 30fps.

So it's missing all the things that made Mass Effect good

I'd say that's fair.

The graphics are pretty good and combat is enjoyable for about an hour, but the game is incredibly repetitive - drive around the planet, peril will be provided by cold/heat/gas, solve the exact same boring puzzles, fight one of two kinds of bad guy, go to a new planet and do it again, etc.

The story was almost in danger of being interesting at times, but the plot is cliched and predictable. I didn't like Andromeda and I loved ME1-3

that nutscrape gif really takes me back. I miss the 90s when all of the internet felt like Lemmy does today
