5 Cities, 5 Eras, 1 show. Xbox Presents: A Special Look at STRANGER THAN HEAVEN is coming May 6th at 4 PM PDT.

Today's game is This War of Mine. It appeared in my library at some point so it must have either been free or i got it through a bundle. It's a really good game from what i played. Mainly what makes me say this is stopping by this house.

The game tells you the people there might be hostile. I didn't want to kill anyone but i ran into someone, panicked, and hit them with my shovel. I felt really bad after because I took a life on the prospect they might be a threat. What made me feel worse though was someone saw the corpse and mourned it.

So basically, it made me feel Human emotions after i acted on impulse and then made me experience human grief. After that the character started mourning too, so in a way it bonded me too the character because they were probably going through what i was.

The game also does a great job of showing how shitty war is. It's not applicable too one specific conflict (or not one i could name), which i appreciate. In a way it made me think to. One of the characters said something along the lines of "I never thought war would come". And it made me think. I won't get too much into the details but it gets you thinking that war can just happen like that. Sometimes you feel untouchable, and then it's at your doorstep.

I also appreciate it's not all doom and gloom. There's people who seem to be good who will trade with you. I like there seems to be a lot of human interaction in this game that's good. One thing i hate is when games make good human interaction rare. It makes me feel a new kind of faith in things when i feel i can trust my fellow humans (even if they are digital fakes)

I really like this game though. It got me thinking in a philosophical way i haven't in a bit. And made me feel human emotions for fake characters. Like the guy above wanted food but i didn't have any. i felt so bad. I think for now i'll bite more into it later but i really liked it. I for sure want to come back.

I am about to set up a cloud instance with linux operating system, and the common choice here normally would be ubuntu. But since they failed their newest release, and I have the option of going fedora or debian. What would you guys recommend for server?

Bonjour à tout.e.s,

On a constaté que cela fait quelques fois que vous ressentez le besoin de vous exprimer sur l'actualité politique dans les fils hebdomadaires du !forumlibre@jlai.lu.

Comme ce n'est pas trop l'endroit pour ça (voir les règles de la commu), que pensez-vous de lancer un fil hebdomadaire actualité/politique dans !france@jlai.lu, par exemple tous les lundi matins ? Cela vous permettrait de vous exprimer sans être dans la réaction à un article publié.

Et si oui, comment souhaiteriez-vous que ce fil s'appelle ?

NASA has confirmed reports that space officials discussed putting Big Bird on the space shuttle Challenger, before it was lost along with its entire crew in an explosion in 1986. But the space agency said the plan never got to the point of giving Caroll Spinney, the human who portrays the 8-foot-2 bird on the "Sesame Street" TV show, a spot on the passenger list.

While citing web forums and discussion boards can help users find answers to more niche queries, this design choice could also prove chaotic.
