Andromeda is fine as long as you don't compare it to the core Mass Effect trilogy. Ryder is no Shepard, and none of your squadmates are as memorable as Garrus, Tali, Mordin and the rest. But take the game as its own thing, and it's a pretty good time.

Thanks for all the info! It's especially helpful to know that naloxone/narcan is still recommended even if the fentanyl has been mixed with xylazine.

I'll have to check that out. It can be hard enough to bring someone back from a fentanyl OD even with Narcan, so it's definitely concerning to think that xylazine could make it even harder.

Yep, Live Another Life is usually in my list too. I inevitably wind up downloading a mod that breaks the wagon scene, so it's a life saver.

The first time I tried to run ENB, I had an older PC and I thought it was going to have a heart attack. I agree that it makes a huge difference in terms of the game's looks, though!

Yeah, I haven't branched out too much in the Fediverse and I mostly stick to Beehaw. Thanks for sharing! I guess I can always make a lemmy.world account, or wait for Beehaw to re-federate.

I've been seeing a lot of low-effort content lately, and I suspect it's coming from users who want their Reddit alternative, and they want it now. So, they see that Beehaw has a large community, and decide it's a perfect place to start content-barfing.

I think the admins have been clear that they're not trying to create a replacement for Reddit here, though. Everything under the sun does not have to be re-posted, just content that you actually want to discuss with this community specifically. When I see five posts created by one user in under a minute, I can't help but think that the intent there is not to spark discussion. And, of course, the volume is problematic for the mods when they don't have the tools they need to manage it.

Scenario #1: GOP contenders believe that Trump's legal troubles will be his undoing before the 2024 Republican convention. DeSantis will be sunk by similar legal troubles, or lack of electability outside of Florida. Despite current polling, the field will look very different by early 2024 and they want to position themselves now as the alternatives who aren't going to prison.

Scenario #2: Trump and/or DeSantis avoid their many scandals, somehow, and they're going to be looking for a vice president. It's unlikely that Trump will run with Pence again, so Nikki Haley, Francis Suarez, and the rest are looking to distinguish themselves as vote-getters so they will be seen as a good addition to a Trump or DeSantis ticket.

Either way, I don't know what the hell Pence thinks he's doing in this field.

Interpol's legal team will take one look at Malaysia's request, laugh, and then respectfully decline to assist. They won't be wasting any of their resources on this.

Malaysia has no power to actually do anything about this, so I think they're just trying to use strong rhetoric to have a chilling effect on anyone who's thinking about making similar jokes.

Modding Skyrim is a rabbit hole that leads straight into the Mines of Moria. And the Balrog has opened an adult bookstore.

[–] Exaggeration207 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing wrong with that answer! Skyrim can even be played in 3rd person, and there are mods to make 3rd person combat more satisfying if you get it on PC.

Nikki Haley's parents were Sikh immigrants, originally from Punjab. And she's calling for an increase in deportations. I don't get it, either.
