Holy chrimbus! Nice activity bro. You’re like ThePicardManeuver of cats and anime

Yeah the more I look into it, I see that it takes direct inspiration from Total Annihilation and SupCom. I messaged my friends who used to play Forged Alliance with me and at least a couple of them have already played this game.

I’ve been waiting for over a decade for a new game in this mold. It’s not just an RTS, it’s a very specific kind of strategic RTS that has a much greater scale than a tactical RTS like Starcraft. I like that it’s more focused on macro than micro.

And the fact you can do 16 player matches is just epic. Supreme Commander was originally limited to 4v4 and then they eventually modded in the ability to play 6v6, but it would frequently cause the framerate to drop to slideshow levels. Can’t wait to try this game out!

Wow this actually looks amazing. Reminds me of Supreme Commander, I used to play Forged Alliance Forever back in the day. Good times.

Yeah. I’ve been using vidplay.org lately

Huh, I never heard of ghost.org before. That’s a pretty cool project

I’ve heard they tend to harbor a lot of alt-right types. Possibly because users can’t really get banned. Is that true?

That’s good to hear, I agree that Lemmy is wholesome. Ngl I braced myself for the worst when I read the post title though 😅

PieFed! That’s the only other threadiverse project I know of.

Master, forgive me, but I have to go all out just this once 🤺

It’s definitely a good idea. I’m not sure how high it is in priority when we still need to work on basic federation mechanics, but eventually I think it makes a lot of sense.

Ok thanks for the info. Fingers crossed 🤞

I remember hearing that Lemmy’s NLnet funding was going to run out soon.

Does this mean the Lemmy devs could potentially reapply for additional funding, or is this only for “new projects”?

Same. The spirit of the pre-corporate internet lives on here, and I find it very comforting and cozy.

What? Even if they wanted to, the devs can’t control who uses Lemmy. It’s FOSS

I’m grateful for all Lemmings, but at this particular moment, mostly you.

Even as we recognize that Lemmy is a collective effort where every user can play a part, there are some roles which are more important than others. You’ve been an excellent admin for your own users, but also a unifying force for the network as a whole, neutralizing and bridging the spaces between many other Lemmy servers.

This post is the clearest example of that to date, but your contributions have always exhibited a good sense of diplomatic tact along with strong internal values and principles.

Kudos to you @sunaurus@lemm.ee.

Thanks for the lead 👍

Damn, nice! I’ll let you know if an invite comes my way, sounds like you would get better use out of it than me

If anyone has invites to a decent tracker, hmu.

Just shamelessly begging, I haven’t been on a private tracker in over a decade but I should probably step up my game again with the way that streaming services are headed.

My previous experience was that I was completely incapable of maintaining a decent seed ratio on my home connection. I felt that many users were using seedboxes with really high upload speeds and hogging all the seeding. But I still felt it was quite a valuable community because, as people have already mentioned, the organization and quality of the torrents is infinitely better. So I basically used it sparingly for stuff that was hard to find. They also had a bunch of free-leech torrents that didn’t affect your ratio, which was a really nice feature. Honestly can’t remember the name of the site though.

Tragic. The UI was so clean

I was thinking that you would need increasingly beefy motors and cables/cranes as the size of the rocks scales. But for a reservoir, you could use the same pump over a longer period of time to store much more energy. It’s also easy to utilize a body of water with a volume much greater than the volume of a vertical cylinder.
