Serious answer, I'm not sure why someone would run a VM to run just a container inside the VM, aside from the VM providing volumes (directories) to the VM. That said, VMs are perfectly capable of running containers, and can run multiple containers without issue. For work, our Gitlab instance has runners that are VMs that just run containers.
Fun answer, have you heard of Docker in Docker?
Regarding Elden Ring, I would argue it does the sense of exploration better than Hollow Knight, but only by a small degree. For every area, there's no map at the start, and the entire map's size is obscured since it only shows what you've traveled through. It gets bigger as you go, but it's still obscured by a fog of war for areas that fit inside the map, but you don't have a map fragment for. You can see on the map where you can obtain the fragment, but not how to get there. Most times you can just cut a straight line to it, but sometimes it's a pain.
All that said, the thing it does better than Hollow Knight for exploration is a limitation of Hollow Knight's map system. It's split into different rooms, and each room has finite entrances and exits. Because you fill out the map through exploration, you're going to know what you have and haven't found.
Because Elden Ring gives you the entirety of the map, it's both helpful and not. You can figure out (mostly) how to get from point A to point B, and you have markers for everywhere you've been. There's two minor issues with that, though. It's a 2D map for a 3D world, which means you end up with some locations not being properly shown, because they're underneath cliffs. The second is that the map does almost nothing to show what places of interest there are. You have large buildings shown, but that excludes all the catacombs (dungeon areas) you can visit. There are areas on the map that are right there, but due to the topography you have no idea how to get there. Going by the map alone means you're going to miss out on a solid amount of the content available.
It's because the map is so limiting that it feels so good. You're able to use it to figure where places are in directional relation, but you still have to look yourself to try and uncover areas. My first run, I prided myself on uncovering everything. I searched high and low, inspected the map to make sure I went to every corner, and really made sure I knew what was out there, and it felt amazing in terms of how much content there was and how much exploration you could do. I started a second run when the DLC came out, and found an area that, somehow, I had entirely missed. It took over a hundred and forty hours of searching, really searching, to get what I thought was complete, and it still wasn't. It was a fantastic feeling on my second run.
Hollow Knight's map is excellent. The gameplay is excellent, the exploration is rewarding and challenging. But the issue it has is that it only has those two dimensions to work with. Elden Ring really works to emphasize that third dimension when scouring for secrets.
I looked over their releases, and had no idea they released Whiplash and BlacKkKlansman. They kind of stand out from all the horror movies. I haven't seen a lot of their work, but I can recommend Hush and Get Out. Halloween is also a solid sequel, if you like the original.
Not only is there an English dub, the voice actor for Dante since DMC 3 voices Dante in the show.
Max was definitely the best part of both movies.
"Why isn't he wearing a shirt?"
I thought I'd like Tails of Iron, but its biggest issue is that it tries to forgo dialogue with mouse squeaks. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I heavily suggest you watch the first few minutes of gameplay to figure out if you can endure it.
It's kind of wild that I've seen trailers and posts for Lollipop Chainsaw's remaster, but the first time I hear about a Shadows of the Damned remaster is buried in the last paragraph of a dev interview.
What does "limiting" mean in this context? Is it like that they won't be able to comment on our posts, or they can't post here?
I get that you're trying to say that the NDP was able to do something, but there's no evidence they were consulted on it. Given that it lasted less than a day before the strike was stopped, it was probably something the government didn't discuss long.
The action was taken by a cabinet member to order the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to step in. The CIRB isn't controlled by any party. Singh came out with a statement that condemns the move, and says it signals that any federally-regulated field doesn't have to negotiate with workers in good faith. I don't know where you heard that any party has the ability to stop this other than the party who the current Minister of Labour belongs to, but no action was taken that needed to pass the House.
I love McGinnis. I'm actually pretty good with McGinnis. But it seems that every other hero I've tried fails to click. Not really sure where to go with it, but the other two slots are always heroes that I hope will maybe work today.
There's a couple of odd vids that Adult Swim has put out from Alan Resnick, like May I Enter Please? and Unedited Footage of a Bear. There's one vid that's just as weird as them called This House Has People In It, but the notable thing is this 12-minute video has a whole ARG behind it, enough to fill a video explaining the lore for over an hour and a half.
Logan Lucky came out in 2017, and this scene is still relevant.
Dead by Daylight does the opt-in beta thing. Progress doesn't transfer from one to the other, but unlocks are handled by just unlocking everything. The bonus of this, as opposed to in-house only, is that players can see what's coming and give at least some chance for feedback before release. The downside is that there's only one iteration, beta, then release, and sometimes things that worked in the beta are broken in release. I'm not saying that this should replace an in-house sandbox, but as an addition it helps devs get thousands of eyes on it and lets the community voice issues before they become semi-permanent.
Commission done for Luxury. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
You know what they say about bottoms... #FurryArt
Done for Griffonki, with his sona as his D&D character. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
### Summary Users can report private messages, even when they're neither sender nor recipient of the message. The API response to creating a private message report contains the private message it...
Users can brute-force their way into reading private messages with Lemmy versions below 0.19.1. I know there was the question of federation issues previously, but it appears to have been largely mitigated with the later versions at this point. Are there any plans to upgrade pawb.social?
Opening the inbox automatically brings up "mentions," but if you want to see private messages, you can click at the top and choose "all messages." Clicking any of those options though will crash the app. You can still access those options through the side window, just not the dropdown at the top while viewing the inbox.
Done as a request for BalloonieLuna. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
This stupid idea popped into my head and I decided to put it down. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
Finished up the first piece for 2024, even though I definitely wanted to get this done last year. But done is done.
I started drawing in January of this year, and finally finished up my first piece in early February. Since then I've been trying to improve on it, and I decided to look back to see if there were any real metrics that could show I made decent progress.
The most obvious first step was to take a look at the upvotes I'd gotten:
Also, NSFW stats:
And, overall, it's a mixed bag. Lemmy definitely has a longer running time for keeping posts alive (it helps that there's fewer posts here), and Reddit has the issue that if your post isn't noticed inside 2 hours, it won't be picked up at all. There's no real sign of definite progress on Reddit, though Lemmy does seem to see at least some uptick in this metric, though that could be attributed to c/furry growing.
So, there's the next obvious metric, upvote percentage:
Reddit drops these metrics after 40 days, so I have no idea what it's like for the majority of my posts. Generally though, the response is more positive on Lemmy than Reddit, but it might be a bit too early to tell if the percentages are actually meaningful, or if the community doesn't downvote good content just because it's not their type, and upvotes are a more meaningful metric.
And, finally, FurAffinity:
There's not a lot of items there, either. If I post something good, I might get a fav. If I post something really good, I might get 2. Like Reddit, if it's not noticed inside a short window, it appears to get buried. The one exception appears to be this piece, which has gotten fav'd repeatedly over time. Watches, on the other hand, appear to be entirely random--or it could be my work's just not good enough to get people wanting me on their feed.
So, just some lessons from my time over the last year:
- Memes are faster and lower-effort to draw, but get a lot bigger response (yes, I know, groundbreaking statement of the year).
- Time and effort spent don't equate to response. I know, it's another obvious statement, but until you've spent weeks on something for nothing, it doesn't quite sink in.
- Either a) I've not become a better artist, or b) these metrics aren't the full picture, and I also suck at promoting myself. I'm hoping it's the latter.
Regardless, it's been a big journey, and I hope it's only the start. I came to Lemmy from Reddit after the API changes, and overall, c/furry's been an open, welcoming, and most importantly positive place. I love it here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.
