He went to Japan, married and became a rice farmer. You can visit his grave in Shingo, Aomori Prefecture.

Honestly, I've heard or read very little about Iraq after the war, so I have no idea what happened there since then. Unfortunately I think the country is still mostly being associated with war and crisis here in Germany. I think it's a very interesting place especially for its ancient history though. Some of the first highly developed civilizations arose there. Would love to visit places like Ur, Babylon or Nineveh one day.

The UN was created after WW2 to prevent another world war and have a diplomatic channel between all countries that is always open. It's far from perfect, but it's definitely better than what we had before.

Removing a country from the UN for doing horrible things would defeat the UN's entire purpose.

I use Organic Maps regularly and I'd love to get rid of Google Maps eventually, but they don't really fulfill the same purpose to me. It's awesome for hiking (which Google Maps is useless for) but meh for Navigation and almost useless for finding information about shops, restaurants etc in an area.

Only thing I can think of are maybe the catching mechanics (which are straight out of Legends: Arceus). No idea if these would be considered unique enough to be patentable, guess we'll find out.

Crazy, that tactic sounds straight out of a science fiction novel - 80s science-fiction, given it's pagers, but still... I really wonder how they pulled it off. Did the IDF design the explosive pagers in the first place or did they find some insane hardware/software flaw that allowed that kind of remote explosion?

Great bundle, but not worth it for me as I already own 5 of those games. I highly recommend Ragnarock and Pistol Whip. Spin Rhythm XD is great as well, but only really in 2D as the VR mode is very meh.

so… I take the multiplayer parts are going to be going away soon-ish, as offline mode is incoming and 1€ pricetag atm? Is this a last squeeze for the game?

Maybe, but it's worth noting that Ubi gave away the Crew 1 for free back in 2016, 7 years before it shut down. So I wouldn't necessarily take this sale as an indication of a shutdown coming soon (though it definitely could happen).

FWIW, they've announced they'll add an offline mode to this game. Personally I liked this game less that The Crew 1 when I played it during a free weekend though.

I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

 

The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

 

Für mich 90% Übereinstimmung mit Volt

 

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

 

I've noticed that Pawb no longer seems to receive any new posts from any feddit.de communities. For example, if I view the "DACH" community through Pawb, the latest post is from 7 days ago, while on feddit itself, there were many posts in the last 7 days. Both instances still seem to be federated and aren't on each other's blocklists. Any idea what is happening here?

Die Noch-Linkenpolitikerin Sahra Wagenknecht hat sich entschieden, eine eigene Partei zu gründen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen will sie am Montag damit an die Öffentlichkeit gehen.

 

Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
