Anyway, if you know of any other top-down/isometric action games with an eldritch horror aesthetic, please let me know. I can’t get enough of them right now.
I don’t, but insofar as “eldrich horror” means “Lovecraftian”, there’s a Steam tag for that, so you could use that in your searches.
There’s a “sort by user reviews, Lovecraftian, Souls-like” search:
You might also try “sort by user reviews, Dark Fantasy, Souls-like” search:
7·2 days ago“Apple choosing to partner with a Chinese military company would be a grave mistake,” John Moolenaar, the Republican chair of the House China committee, told the FT.
“Helping the [Chinese Communist Party] succeed in its plans to dominate critical supply chains will make our country’s tech industry and economy more dependent on China at a time when we must build secure tech supply chains with our allies,” Moolenaar said.
If Micron wants a protected market, then I think that it’s not unreasonable to also require that it come with an obligation to make enough memory to meet demand. Maybe they will in the long term, but they clearly are not doing so now and won’t be for the next 18 months.
CMXT is not going to refrain from producing memory if Apple doesn’t buy from them. Memory is a commodity. As long as there is someone in the world who wants to buy memory — and there is a lot of pent-up demand out there — CMXT is going to be able to sell their memory.
If the Chinese government wants to subsidize memory production, great. Right now, we don’t have enough, so that’s solving a problem we have using China’s resources. If Micron starts to get in trouble down the line, if they can’t produce at competitive prices, and we view it as a national security imperative to have domestic memory production, then look at protection.

Working keyword exclusion.
EDIT: Also, I have owned multiple DT 770 Pros and they’re my favorite non-ANC headphones that I’ve used over the years, if you’re thinking about them.
29·4 days agoFor computer hardware, it’s uncommon to see major increases — computer hardware has consistently seen dramatic long-term declines — but it does happen. The other major incident I can think of was 15 years back:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Thailand_floods
Severe flooding occurred during the 2011 monsoon season in Thailand. The flooding began at the end of July triggered by the landfall of Tropical Storm Nock-ten.
Thailand is the world’s second-largest producer of hard disk drives, supplying approximately 25 percent of the world’s production.[76] Many of the factories that made hard disk drives were flooded, including Western Digital’s, leading some industry analysts to predict future worldwide shortages of hard disk drives.[77][78] Western Digital was able to get one of their plants, flooded on 15 October 2011, restored and operating on 30 November 2011…As a result, most hard disk drive prices almost doubled globally, which took approximately two years to recover.[77][80]
EDIT: Oh, right, and the cryptocurrency thing drove up some GPU prices for a while.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_mining
As cryptocurrency miners increased their purchases of GPUs between 2013 and 2017, the prices of GPUs skyrocketed.[7] The increasing demand of GPU mining and purchases caused a worldwide shortage that continued into 2021 until production finally caught up in 2023.[8][9]
I think that it was more ASICs outperforming GPUs that wound up killing that off.
Alongside the price rise announcement, Microsoft pointed to Buy Now, Pay Later options that break up your payments, as well as interest free financing. It’s also working with retailers to make second-hand consoles available at lower prices, it said.
In all seriousness, if you can’t come up with the cost of a console, do not buy it (a) using an unsecured loan (b) in the middle of a short period of time where you know that the price is elevated. If things are that tight, then that’s just a terrible use of money.
2·4 days agoI think that a heavyweight automod feature that works something like SpamAssassin, where one builds a training corpus of known spam and known ham, and then one writes a bunch of rules (e.g. “domain is less than X days old”, “account has less than N votes”, etc) and then runs it on the training corpus to auto-generate score weights for the rules, and then runs the rules on each post to provide an estimated “spam probability score” on given posts would probably scale better.
Doesn’t need to be built into Lemmy or Mbin or PieFed, and running as an automod bot, it’d be able to run on all of those platforms, share effort among them.
Note that the profile picture there is used to create the X profile picture:
Assuming that that image is not itself AI-generated, might actually be the spammer.
Oh yeah, not criticizing.
OP, you can pull more WHOIS data from the whois.web4africa.net WHOIS server for that domain. You only did a single-level WHOIS lookup to the North American WHOIS server; whatever WHOIS client you used doesn’t default to recurse.

The primestories24.com HTML source and page text contains multiple references to a “ZWadTech” and to a support@zwadtech.net.ng email address.
Google’s AI Overview on that domain — no idea what data they pull from for it, so I’d take it with a grain of salt:

I create and also Sell Ebooks On Health, Motivational & Inspirational contents, self discovery and How To. Whatever makes you a better Person, Encourages you and set you up for a Greater End.
EDIT: As I said above, I’d be inclined to take the above Google AI summary with a grain of salt. While the Mastodon StoryLands account is directly associated with primestories24, and posts Christian stuff, and there is an Olawale Israel Ashorobi who has a Christian book out, it looks like there are a number of "Olawale Israel"s out there, and I have no idea what sources of information Google AI combined to generate the above; it may be merging multiple people.
EDIT2: Also, because I kind of feel that it’d only be responsible to mention this if digging up information like this: remember that identities may be real, but that people can also potentially steal identities. Those of you who recall the Nicole saga here…someone apparently was attempting to impersonate a real person, pretending to be a “Nicole”, and then spam many users with direct messages. I understand that some of the admins on the Threadiverse looked into it, and believed that this was an attempt to get users here angry and harassing that person, who was not actually the person sending the messages. While I rather doubt that that is the case here, I’d suggest that going and trying to make this Nigerian guy miserable via attacking him or his stuff may be counterproductive. I’m posting the stuff because it could help filter spam stuff out, not as a call to arms.
Even more accounts:
Note that the X account has a profile picture that appears to be derived from the profile picture on the Facebook account, and a matching name.
Other social media accounts that also link to the site:
“It’s shooting pure unadulterated propaganda into our veins,” says another government employee. “Maybe Fox’s editorial standards are too high.”
Necessity is the mother of invention, I suppose.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest point during his two presidencies, according to a new poll.
A poll from the American Research Group, out Monday, found that approval for Trump stands at 30%, the lowest figure recorded across both of his terms. It is a 1 percentage point drop from May, when 31% of Americans were in support of the president’s performance.
There were various Reddit automod bots that went after these, but then you had people trying to evade them by using one of the zillions of link shortener sites out there, so then you also have to ban link shorteners or try to resolve all the links (which may be a good idea as well, but saying that it’s a more-complicated problem than initially meets the eye).
Also, I was banned in a few communities by an automod bot on the Threadiverse, and given that it happened when I posted some comment linking to a number of sites, I assume that one of the URLs must have tripped some automod list, so I’m a little irritable about bots running permabans on blacklisted sites, as users can inadvertently link to them.

This page also links to an URL on that website about Janet Jackson, as well as some others, so I’m assuming that this Facebook username is associated with the site.
D&D was optimized for pencil-and-paper-and-dice play. I mean, it has to keep the math simple to keep the game going.
I think that a ruleset optimized for computer RPGs would probably look somewhat different.
