Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:

People forget that all souls games are set specifically in periods of total collapse. Between these there have been thousands of years of hyperbolic prosperity. Someone built Lordran, Lotric and Drangleic you know

It depends really. Big chunk of Imperial core is living somewhat fine without much of an outside threat. If you're luckly to be born on a planet that does well economically you may live a happy life of decent sci-fi.

Not every single imperial world is a hive world full of gangs and mutants that experiences an ork invasion, genestealer infestation, and a chaos corruption simultaneously lol.

Reading some of non-spacemarine novels like the Eisenhorn series shows a lot about how common imperial worlds live.

There's a larger problem though, Google both owns and controls AOSP. Of course, chances of them making it closed or introducing their proprietary services into it are extremely small, but they still are the captain who steers the ship.

If they'll decide to embed AI (in some open source form), many derivatives like Graphene and LOS may have to suck it and follow through as the more you change your fork away from source code, the harder it becomes to maintain for small team of enthusiast devs.

Is there additional reading I can do on the topic? I've googled but found nothing but concerns from Nato officials that Russia could engage in seabed sabotage. This comment is universally praised so I guess it's some universal knowledge I missed. What are some instances when they did it?

Been using is for several months. Definitely VERY overpriced (I'd say $3-4/mo for a search engine would be fine, not $10), but the results are great, and I love the quick answer feature. It quickly summarizes info from top results, helped me a lot in college, where sometimes your brain is melting and you want the answer NOW.

Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it'd look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture

The amount of people in the comments not understanding why open buds are relevant to some people / the concept of earbuds overall is quite funny. I guess there's some truth in stereotypical Lemmy user rarely showing up outside 🙃

Main point in enjoying soulslikes is the approach. Modern action RPGs are very fast paced, very direct in their approach "hit A - enemy dies - get dopamine".

To make it work, slow down. Treat every enemy as a real threat, not filler between bosses. Pretending they are all real players and not bots might help. Keep your distance, bait out several attacks, see how they behave, carefully close in and make your move. Don't get greedy on the offence and only attack when the enemy opens and then break the distance again.

Also as others mentioned, game makes you commit to any actions you take. When you attack the enemy, take responsibility of every button press. If you start mashing, the game punishes you fast and hard.

I don't have the best reaction speeds, but I was able to steamroll most of the bosses under 10 tries, so the game is definitely not the "die until you memorize the moveset" type. If you play patiently and carefully build up your character it is definitely possible to tackle most threats on first sight.

Edit: Also, if you're on PC I don't mind giving you a hand sometime and playing together a little

Yep, that's exactly why in the end of my comment I say that I currently believe a combination of Github+Discord to be best. Github for bug reporting, Discord if you want to socialize with the community, that's what it does best

Can't you do everything you've listed on github though? Report bugs on issues tab, ask questions on discussions tab, following up is easy. Everything is also indexed by search engines and can be looked up later on.

While I understand why FOSS community hates Discord, I don't know an alternative that is better at everything.

Discord's main problems:

• Not FOSS / Privacy respectful
• Hard/Impossible to index/search for data and organize tech support

However alternatives we have are not ideal either:

1. Old-school web forums
   • Great for info archival / organized tech support
   • Separate accounts for every one of them, different sets of newsletters / email notifications. Basically, to efficiently be active on several forums you have to manually log in to each on regular basis and check what's new
   • Due to slower pace of communication, it's harder to just log in and "hang out" with community, everybody is more of a pen pal.

2. FOSS messaging applications (e.g. Matrix since that's what most use)
   • Info archival is even worse then on Discord. Every time I tried to search for anything useful on Matrix I would give up due to poor results and HUGE delays for every search
   • Because most communities use a single Matrix chat, it's a huge disorganized mess for any communication and tech support. There's often 2-3 concurrent conversations in a single room and some just stop abruptly due to it getting confusing to keep up
   • it's FOSS and Private, though

Feel free to downvote me for this, but I think that Github for support & issue tracking and Discord for community hang out spot is currently the lesser evil approach until better Foss tools arrive
