Me personally, I thought the combat was pretty ass. Boss combat, in particular. Like they played Dark Souls and their takeaway was “Okay, so to make good combat, you need to make it SUPER difficult, and then give them a dodge roll.” REALLY put a damper on the experience as a whole, which is a shame, because every other aspect of that game is FANTASTIC.
If you haven’t played it, do yourself a favor and just be ready to turn on assist mode or no-death mode for the bosses.
Works largely the same as reddit, just smaller and more distributed.
The go-to analogy is e-mail. You pick a particular e-mail provider, say gmail.com or yahoo.com, and create your account there, but that doesn’t stop you from sending messages to anyone with any other provider, or them sending messages to you. In the fediverse/lemmyverse/whatever, same thing, you create an account on whatever server/instance you feel like, and use that to see posts and messages from any other server/instance in the network.
Occasionally, you might hear the term “federation” which is the process of different servers/instances syncing their content with each other. It’s not foolproof, and sometimes doesn’t work properly. But generally, you won’t have to care about the nuts and bolts of the protocol.
The fact that Fortnite has been going THIS STRONG for THIS LONG, and is still basically the most profitable competitive online game ever just proves that none of that shit is necessary.
We talking about the one that says the President can’t be prosecuted for official acts?
The thing most people miss about that decision is that it’s not a power grant to the Presidency. It’s a power grab by the Supreme Court. They conveniently don’t define what counts as an “official act” that the President can’t be prosecuted for, so that whenever it comes up again, we just end up right back at the Supreme Court for them to decide what’s “official” and what isn’t. And we know their game plan on that kinda thing, from everything else in the past decade, they’ll pull a bunch of old nonsense out of their ass to rule whichever way they please, and then say at the and “this decision is a unique outcome of unique circumstances” or whatever, so they’re free to rule completely differently next time.
The charitable interpretation of the ruling is “the way to get a President to stop doing bad shit is for Congress to impeach them” so in theory, that’s still a check on Presidental power, but we all know how much Congress is loathe to use any amount of power to do anything, what little they haven’t abdicated already.
