NASA Really Made Its Own Tabletop RPG for You to Play

NASA still has plenty of cool projects afoot in the real world—did you hear about that asteroid-redirecting test? Or those space-friendly cameras?—but it’s also trying to stir imaginations in fantastically creative ways, too. Enter The Lost Universe, the agency’s first-ever tabletop roleplaying game.

Cool!

Endlich!

Vor Wochen habe ich das #Spiel The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom bei 99,95% pausiert. Ich habe einfach den letzten fucking Ort nicht gefunden. Sehr frustrierend! Heute las ich nochmal nach, was zu den 100% gehört. Hatte ich alles. Ich ging einer leisen Ahnung auf den Grund. Wenn du alle Höhlen entdeckt hast bekommst du ein Abzeichen im Inventar. Check ✔️ Der Haken an der Sache war, du mußt aber auch alle alternativen Höhleneingänge entdecken. Ich schnappte mir die Karte und fing auf der Tutorial-Insel an und sofort sah ich, daß da ein Höhleneingang (eingekreist) bei mir fehlte. Ich dachte: "Das kann doch alles nicht wahr sein!" Am Anfang (!) des Spiels entdeckte ich die Höhle über einen anderen Eingang, bin aber über den anderen Eingang weder rein noch raus. Deswegen fehlte mir etwas zu den 100%(1000%). Puh...geschafft. Freut mich sehr, so ein großes Spiel komplett durchgespielt zu haben. <3 Mußte es euch mal kurz mitteilen. :-)

5 reasons to use AMD in your next gaming PC

Red blurry background with an AMD gaphics card standing up verrtically in the foreground. On one side are three cooling fans, and on the narrower facing side are some cooling fins.
AMD is already quite well known for their really easy overclocking, and their better price point for what you get.

My current PC build has had an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU in it for the last 3 years or so, and running with Manjaro Linux as OS, it has been running flawlessly. This is my first AMD CPU, as I’d always been buying Intel since I moved off the Amiga. I’ve not run into any compatibility issues whatsoever, and I do also play quite a few Steam Games as well.

Sadly, when I did the last PC upgrade, I stuck to buying another Nvidia GPU. I just did not do a proper comparison of alternatives. Next time however I’m going to do a thorough comparison and give AMD a serious consideration for my next GPU card.

The only issue I’ve been experiencing with testing out Wayland on Linux, is some random freezes for about 40+ seconds. I get something similar with the X display, but it is exclusively limited to when the compositor gets accessed, which is only really during screenshots. Supposedly this relates to the Nvidia card on Linux (not the AMD CPU), although I’m using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. When I get time, I should actually try a different GPU, or the open-source drivers, and try to pinpoint this issue.

The linked article though does whet my appetite a bit again for getting an AMD GPU. In today’s world, full of innovation and improvement, we should be seriously considering good alternatives, and not just sticking to the one thing we know out of habit. Change is what sparks and rewards innovation, and helps cultivate a healthy market ecosystem. The days of one single company resting on their laurels, should be over.

South African Rooibos featured in popular survival action role-playing game Enshrouded

Computer game screen showing a character facing a green bush. A tall cliff stands in the background, amd there is yellow grass surrounding everything.
Although difficult to come by in the game, the Rooibos shrub is found in the Nomad Highlands region and looks like it would in spring when it’s in full bloom, covered in tiny yellow flowers.

The Council said one possible reason Keen Games incorporated Rooibos into their game was likely due to its growing popularity in Germany and Europe at large.

Interesting how games mimic real world trends, and of course gaming itself is a massive industry.

Seeing that Rooibos actually grows in the Cederberg environment of the Western Cape in South Africa, I’m just wondering if this region in the game in then supposed to be South Africa?

Ich habe ein neues (altes) #Spieleprojekt gefunden. Deponia, ein #Point-and-Click-Adventure von 2012. Ich mag diese Art von Spielen sehr, da meistens sehr liebevoll kreiert. Alle vier #Spiele gab es für die #Nintendo-Switch für 3,99 €. Ein Schnäppchen. ;-) Ich freue mich darauf. 🎮 <3

Deponia

Handlung:

Soweit das Auge reicht – nur Müll. Deponia ist kein traumhaftes Urlaubsparadies, die Bewohner aber haben Träume. Allen voran Rufus. Er hat die Nase voll und wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als sein Heimatdorf Kuvaq eines Tages zu verlassen. Immer wieder versucht er auf haarsträubende Art und Weise, diesen trostlosen Ort zu verlassen.
Eines Tages fällt ihm unverhofft das geheimnisvolle Mädchen Goal sprichwörtlich in die Arme. Goal kommt aus der fliegenden Stadt Elysium - einer besseren Welt, in der man sorglos im Luxus lebt. Rufus verliebt sich sofort unsterblich in Goal und wittert die Chance auf ein schönes Leben, wie er es sich immer gewünscht hat.

Microsoft lays off nearly 2,000 employees, cancels upcoming Blizzard game | GBAtemp.net - The Independent Video Game Community

"[T]he employees who were let go from the company were not well informed as to who lost their job and who got to stay, as notable journalist Jason Schreier commented that those within Xbox were not directly told, and had to wait to be notified as to whether or not they were still employed by Microsoft."
