Not really. Just stay away from the capital/Oslo.

Make the path better in what way? I personally enjoyed the path and it matches nicely with Arueshalae's story arc. Creating a tree that slowly destroys the abyss is also no joke, even if you got a childish dragon companion tagging along.

It can never beat the Aeon path though.

I'm the same with 1. I'd recommend trying out Black Mesa, it might be the best game remake ever made.

Better visuals and much faster/cheaper for the developer to make.

We are still in the infancy of the technology and the vast majority of games with ray tracing doesn't fully utilise it as they must compromise to support normal raster, leading to half baked implementations on engines not designed with ray tracing in mind.

Warcraft 3 had helicopters and tanks, so cars aren't all that crazy.

She refused until I guessed... She even had the gall to act insulted when I was wrong

Guessing people's height also isn't something I do regularly. Might be why I suck at it.

My height is 192 so 190 vs 185 would be easy to tell, but once you reach ~182 and below it's all a wash. 180 vs 175 I wouldn't have a clue. I was off by more than 10cm in my estimation when they were sitting in front of me, and it was a person I knew well.

Unless you're the same height as me, I'll never remember how tall you are. I was mentoring some girl for half year and when she asked me to guess her height while she was sitting, I guessed ~170, turns out she was 180+.

Height just isn't something I register about a person, and I don't see why anyone would bother trying to remember stuff like that.

Sounds like a nothingburger, sovereign wealth funds investment in a diverse set of industries. And especially industries their own economy isn't big in.

I don't see PIF here though 🤔

How accurate is this map? If the Irish call football soccer, it would be most shocking thing I've learnt in 2024.

As I'm sure my home instance reveals, I do like the idea of focused instances. I think a general sports focused instance would be better than sport specific instances though, at least with lemmy's current size. It's not sustainable to pop up an instance for every sport out there, like strongman or arm wrestling.

And people would also have to be able to sign up to the instance. Which if I remember correctly you had a very different opinion on when you spoke to Snowe on !meta@programming.dev about programming.dev. Just from a technical standpoint, the federation latency and general wonkiness is real and is why my football bots are running on Lemmy.world despite programming.dev being my preferred instance. Near real-time communication is important during live games where minutes may drastically change the topic.

And while I'm sympathetic to your cause, inertia is a real thing and lemmy.world is competently run, even if I strongly disagree with their VPN restriction.

If you somehow managed to convince the other sports communities to migrate to a common instance I'd happily follow along though, but I find it very unlikely happen. ReadyUser31@lemmy.world is the one primarily in charge of !football@lemmy.world
