That is really quite bizarre. I have definitely accidentally hit start a couple of times, but I can’t imagine that sort of thing happens enough to explain an even split on a highly-voted message

Skua@kbin.earthto rpg@ttrpg.network•How deep do you go when building out your campaigns?3·23 hours agoDepends on the type of adventure! I find that mysteries or political intrigues need a substantial amount of planning, but something like a journey through hostile land can be improvised much more. However I do also just kinda enjoy building out the settings, so I will so a fair bit just for its own sake too
Skua@kbin.earthto Europe@feddit.org•UK 'will sign up to EU single market rules even without deal ' - Reeves3·1 day agoOf course I think it’s relevant, what I don’t understand is how the EU needs the UK more tha vice versa when the EU is bringing more to the table (including in terms of naval capacity)
Skua@kbin.earthto Linguistics Humor@sh.itjust.works•Could the names Ilya and Julius be related?2·1 day agoProto-Indo-European. Hebrew being a Semitic language from an area mostly full of other Semitic languages makes me think it’s unlikely to have picked up a PIE name though
Skua@kbin.earthto Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•[ER] Hiding secret zones in boss arenas is inspired10·1 day agoI left a message pointing towards it from the bonfire in Radahn’s arena and it was one of the most appraised messages I’ve ever left
Skua@kbin.earthto Europe@feddit.org•France AI company Mistral invests $1.4 billion in data centres in Sweden3·1 day agoIt’s far too old a practice to be that
“Quietly” as in it’s being done with far fewer bombs and bullets than Gaza
Skua@kbin.earthto Scotland @lemmy.world•Daily Record publisher to shut down Glasgow print plant4·1 day agoI do mean gutter-crawling tabloids rather than papers in general - specifically as these are Reach Plc ones, which also have a big online presence - but yeah no disagreement from me about them not being the biggest problem
While I don’t personally use summons outside of specific NPCs that I like (just because I don’t want to, I don’t think it’s bad to do so), on the occasions that I do summon an NPC I definitely prefer the aggro to be on me. The fun for me is in learning the enemy moveset, like a puzzle. Having someone else do damage while the aggro is on me just lowers the amount of openings I have to survive for
I suppose since I usually do the quests for Latenna and the jellyfish, those are technically the spirit ashes I summon most. Latenna would be perfect for what I want in a summon! I do summon Igon for Bayle because he’s just fun, and that’s kind of a similar experience

Skua@kbin.earthto Europe@feddit.org•France AI company Mistral invests $1.4 billion in data centres in Sweden10·2 days agoThis is a somewhat common practice in headlines (in English, at least), but would not be used in normal writing. It’s similar to how headlines almost never use the word “and”, instead replacing it with a comma. If I go to Reuters’ website just now I can quite quickly find headlines about “UK rocket maker Orbex”, “South Korea crypto exchange”, and “Argentina unions”.
That said, there are also a lot of headlines (including on Reuters) that don’t do this, and I have no idea what decides when it is or isn’t applied. I can just reassure you that no, this is not you misunderstanding English, it’s just a weird convention for news headlines specifically
Skua@kbin.earthto Europe@feddit.org•UK 'will sign up to EU single market rules even without deal ' - Reeves14·2 days agoWe have the biggest individual navy in Europe (excluding Russia, but… well we’ve seen how that has been faring), but we do not have a bigger navy than the EU together. If there is some naval threat that the EU cannot handle, we are in an even worse position to try to face it alone. If we’re operating on might is right logic then we absolutely need the EU, because we aren’t competing with heavyweights like the US and China alone

Skua@kbin.earthto Scotland @lemmy.world•Can solar panels turn around one of Scotland's most deprived communities?3·2 days agoI suppose Betteridge is right in that no, these solar panels will not turn the town around, but there is rarely ever a silver bullet for such situations. The solar panels don’t need to magically fix everything, they just need to be a useful part of making it a bit better. And that, I do think they can do. Especially giving that lovely old school building some modern advantages
Skua@kbin.earthto Scotland @lemmy.world•Daily Record publisher to shut down Glasgow print plant5·2 days agoI’m conflicted over this, because on the one hand I don’t want these peolpe to lose their jobs or the area to lose a major business… but on the other hand those papers are downright fucking toxic

The transactions were absolutely theft, but the point is that some people just decided to change what the ledger said.
Assetto Corsa Evo! And probably also Assetto Corsa Rally, depending on when that’s done. However I am unlikely to get much on release as I have plkenty of unplayed stuff that I really want to play already
There isn’t really one Nigerian language, the country is insanely linguistically diverse. There are sixteen local languages with at least a million speakers, heaps more with fewer speakers, and then a Nigerian dialect of English and a creole called Naija (or Nigerian Pidgin) on top of that
While I personally know nothing about the Nigerian media landscape, I do know that the BBC runs a Naija news service and it has an article about these two
