They're just mean via proton, which tbh is fine. Everything works great through proton.

There is a growing tide of discontent as an entire generation foots the damage and bills of their predecessors. Until Labor finds a backbone and makes real, sweeping reforms in places where it actually matters to the majority of Australian families (complete tax overhaul, for one. Proper housing reform for another), they will continue to flounder. They had the opportunity to make large reforms, picked the wrong one to start with (voice), bungled it, and are now frozen with fright.
The tragedy is that even if they get another go at it, I have little faith that the current cabinet will change their mediocre, middle-of-the-road strategy of minimal impact. As Whitlam rightfully said, Labor is the party of reform and as soon as they stop being that, they are dead in the water.

My only gripe is pretty straight forward: the cost to play.
I LOVE draft, but have been unable to play it on Arena due to the high cost of entry. They allow standard play for free, but paywall draft. I know I can technically grind dailies to get enough gold, and then if im lucky enough and win enough I can earn enough back to chain another draft, but this is eventually a losing game, a bit like a slot machine.
I just have zero interest in grinding standard, and refuse to pay almost as much as physical draft for non-tangible, digital version. It feels very predatory.

Well that's a straight up lie. You can go to the waiting list data for elective surgeries in each state and territory and see that it's closer to 365 day waiting period on average.

Lets hope this goes somewhere. EU is punching well when it comes to putting a stop to rampant monopolisation, greed, and deceptive conduct of tech snd digital companies.

Interesting card, but I don't get the theme at all. How is an american jock an element of a haunted house?

Don't threaten me with a good time. A so-called 'minority' government is actually a good thing, keeps the bastards honest.

Instructions very confusing on this one. Without knowing the mechanic, I would be very confused as to how to play this. It seems to be pick a side, play it, then later turn you can pay to unlock the other side. But why the reminder "that door unlocks"?

Wording is odd. Veteran Survivor is not the one targeting the exile? Also maybe clearer by saying "by" rather than "with".

Actually nothing, turned out fine. Just experimenting with how much of a noticeable difference it makes giving the yeast a few days head start on the wort without the fruits.
There's a lot of 'folk wisdom' in the brewing world I've found. Recipes which claim "you must do X" or "if you don't do Y, it won't work". So I like to test different theories and see what's true and what's superstition.

Second attempt at a raspberry sour. This time, allowing a few days of ferment before adding the fruit, and a cold crash before bottling for higher clarity.
These words appear on almost all food labels these days, but they are kind of meaningless. Take something like those flavoured waters, "ingredients: water, flavour". They taste amazing, there's definitely a bunch of 'stuff' in there, but they don't tell us what it is on the label? I thought we used to have number codes for additives and what-not that they had to disclose so we knew what was in it. Did the food labelling laws change somehow? Or are these new additives something different which can just hide behind the word 'flavour'? Genuinely curious if anyone has some idea, there doesn't seem to be any explanations on the food standards website...
I'm using a windows partition for PCVR to a Quest 3 via steam. Some games seem to struggle despite a pretty beefy card (6750 XT). My question is whether using adrenaline is a good idea with VR? It doesn't seem smart enough to realise im using VR when it's running, instead choosing settings which match my monitor, meaning it's picking the wrong up scaling and other settings for my headset. Do most people just disable this software, or are there settings which help VR?
Does anyone else not draft as much as you would on arena because of how expensive it is? For a casual drafter that just wants to play around with the new set for maybe 1 or 2 drafts a week, the cost feels so ridiculous I just don't play. I would love to draft MKM but I cant justify the cost to simply play a digital card game. With so many other ways to monetise the game via cosmetics now, it would be nice of WotC to ease up a little and make drafting more free-to-play friendly. /endrant
The topic of UB is continuing to create controversy as the number of non-Magic IP products explodes. The Professor put out a [recent video on the topic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQHBjE-9WuY) predicting a future Universes Within product to make up for all the unique UB cards being added to the mix, but looks like MaRo has quickly shut that idea down. What are players who don't like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards? [This](https://cardboard-crack.com/post/630569386953015296/secret-lair) is now just reality.
It seems the only way now is to navigate to the community you want to post it, and menu>post. Is there a way to add a post button on the bottom bar perhaps, then have a post screen with a community selection? If not, might be a cool idea for future maybe if enough people think that would be useful. Cheers
I saw an article about a blue cheese beer by some US brewer. Got me thinking, I wonder that this would go? Anyone have an idea how to achieve this? I can only presume throwing some blended cheese into the fermenter would just cause a yeast infection.
My friend and I have spent far too long searching on old DVD and Bluray forums for spoilers on how to access the easter egg “Chimp Commentary” supposedly available on the BluRay edition of Tim Burtons infamous Planet of the Apes reboot. Hoping that maybe someone else out there may know how we can amuse our tiny ape brains by finding how to enable this easter egg. We’ve tried every combination of menu buttons and no online resources seem to work for the Bluray edition of this film. Has anyone else been able to find this thing?
Looking at picking up a quest 3, but want to try one out before I buy. Doesn’t seem like the usual places (JB, EB, department stores) offer any way to test them? Does anyone know of retailers who have demos?
I’ve been using the notes app to write short thoughts, notes, poems, random ideas, etc and have found it really clunky for this. It has no simple way to edit formatting while typing or after, and a few other designs that seem to distract me. Wondering if anyone else had found this also, and maybe looked around for a better app?
G'day all, We got a pretty quiet community going here, but hey, that's our CBR style sometimes. I am keen on collecting thoughts on keeping the Daily Discussion Threads going? They don't seem to be very active and can make the community look quite bare, cluttering up the feed. Keen for your thoughts
Have had this issue since the 1.11.4 update, wondering if just me? Icon shows 1 update available, despite being on latest version. Click install, icon still showing update available. On webapp 1.11.14.
Getting around 130fps avg frames, sometime dipping down into the 80's, when playing CS2. Did a recent system upgrade and presumed performance would be better than this for the build? **Gear:** - Ryzen 7 5700x 3.4ghz - 6750XT 12gb ddr6 - 16gb 3600mhz ddr4 - m.2 SSD - 144hz , 1440 screen with freesync - Running Mint latest version Have tried in-game settings at lowest, still not managing to get a stable FPS above 144. Mucking with settings doesn't seem to change performance much. Have set game to run with '-vulkan' which helped reduce some stuttering issues, but not much performance gain. I also only get <100fps with other games like BG3. Figured this kit would be able to handle modern games a bit better. Any ideas what's going on? EDIT: For future reference, the following changes were made and am now getting ~200fps - Enabled asus EZ Tune in BIOS (rather than manually muck with each setting) - Updated gpu drivers via 'amdgpu -install' - Enable gamemode
I’m running BG3 through Proton (linux OS) so troubleshooting whether glitches are game engine issues or proton issues is tough. Apart from some graphical artefact pop-ins which I just ignore, one common glitch im getting is the game not recognising to scroll the camera when you mouse to the edge of the screen. This happens when in windowed or fullscreen mode. A work around seems to be using the arrow keys first, after which the game correctly recognises mouse scrolling at screen edge. You have to do this every time between interactions though, which can get annoying. Trying to see if this is a proton issue or known game bug. Anyone else experiencing this?

Nice to see a new dudeist community pop up in addition to dudeism@lemmy.world . Take 'er easy!
Are there any good quality, open-source or community-driven alternatives to goodreads? Something which offers the same discoverability service for similar or related books, including the ability to wishlist and review?
