Officially the first person to mention Front Mission 5 on Bluesky. I like robots and games, especially ones that are turn based and where I can make numbers go big. he/him

If you ever thought to yourself "boy, I'd really like a toy of a Jeep with an inflation fetish that transforms into a T-Rex with most of a Jeep hanging off of its ankles" then good news! I've got just the thing for you!

Oh Jeep-Rex, what is your wisdom?

Yeh, you can't even disagree with the action of declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group. Pretty sure they will just try to arrest anyone with the words Action & Palestine in what they deem to be the wrong order at this point. Some politicians are really in need of swift replacement.

Woman 'arrested' over 'I oppose proscription of Palestine Action' sign

A PROTESTER has claimed she was arrested for holding a sign saying “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

I don't think Jay and her band of God's lost bets understand the degree to which everyone not currently on Bluesky has already decided it's the Faggy App for Trans Commies. They aren't going to come here just because you run us off! We're all that's keeping you from being Spoutible.

Ashpolt @ashpolt.bsky.social · 1d

I'll fiddle around with it a bit more later to see if I can get 60, but I'll likely end up locking it to 30 with higher graphics anyway. Anti aliasing makes a huge difference in this game!

Ashpolt @ashpolt.bsky.social · 1d

That was on the default settings. I didn't try going out of the hub before tweaking the settings to my preference so maybe the actual jobs run better?

Ashpolt @ashpolt.bsky.social · 1d

Weirdly, I am not finding this at all. Out of the box it was swinging between 25 and 50 in the hub; I tried locking to 45 but it felt awful, very jittery. I've now locked it at 30 and it plays great, but I'm absolutely not getting the 60 you're getting. (Deck OLED)

There is historical precedent as to why people who consider themselves on the left (but aren't actually) should NOT take up painting
