  • Hatted gargoyle goblin is the character I like to play. In one sentence it’s a 6-on-6 third person hero shooter MOBA.

    I found that compared to League of Legends (at least what I knew of it 4 years ago) and other team shooting games, going after objectives is more important than winning more fights and good K/D ratios, at least at the casual player level.

    Like other similar games it takes awareness of where allies and enemies are on the map, coordination between team members to play effectively and some knowledge of each character’s ability. But even if you absolutely suck at shooting unpredictably moving targets (that’s me), knowing when to push a lane, when to support your team, when to reap the successes of a teamfight and when to pull back will contribute toward a win even if you’re 1/15/5. And a lot of punching of course.

    Where Deadlock is nice right now is the short queue times and nice pick mechanism, helpful indicators for a lot of things once you know what they mean, and fun movement combos with dashing sliding and jumping.






  • These funding milestones sound great! Very excited on future improvements.

    Dessalines and Nutomic have done great jobs along with the rest of the Lemmy contributors. Adding Phiresky and Sunaurus to the development team is also very positive and I appreciate the diversification of origin instance in the team. This will be useful in the rare but totally understandable event that a part of the team may need to break for a while.

    Multi-communities and post tags would be an absolute game changer if implemented.



  • to signal boost to the west.

    Yes it does that too.

    From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.



  • The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

    On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. However it’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed, even as it has risks as with anything.

    The choice for Ukraine is to keep on the defensive, slowly losing its ground, or the same thing happens but Putin is humiliated on the world stage by Ukraine, taking Russian military high command by surprise whether it forces their hand or not.

    The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.








  • What the… this is so infuriating to a railfan. It’s like they are trying to attach a 2x viewer multiplier by putting Elon-related keyword in it when Tesla has so little to do with it.

    It’s not a Tesla train, nor a battery from Tesla, nor operated by Tesla, not even a new route (but granted an expanded timetable)

    I wish media hyped trains like this in general and not limited to implicitly attributing it to Musk (who made hyperloop specifically to distract from High Speed Rail, mind you)… “GIGA TRAIN brings commuters to work”, “Hyper train first electric regional service in California - you won’t believe the capacity!”
