100%! You can totally see her draw elemental magic from the water running down the cave wall then cast it as ball lightning (or electricity at least?). She uses both Quen and Igni in the trailer too though. There’s also book lore about magic that could lend itself well to game play, like the costs of casting more than you’ve drawn and the skill required to draw from different “elemental planes.” Witcher mage would be a fun build!

They added the (never promised) metro system last year and just released another huge free update two days ago.

Mine works, but some banking apps won’t work if they require full SafetyNet compliance. So that could be a deal-breaker for some people too.

I decided to install Graphene before looking up the installation and was blown away by how easy it is. I’d been on stock android for years and was expecting a similar experience as OP describes. My very old custom ROM folder is filled with files with names like ‘confirmedsafeblob’ and ‘bricksafe’ that I don’t even know what they are anymore but speak to some past misery. Then beep-boop done with the web installer.

I’m sure it’ll get removed. Voyager used to have it and I was shocked it disappeared a couple months ago in preparation for 0.19. Now it just shows post and comment counts.

It’s not tracked anymore as of 0.19 (“don’t serialize karma”). Lemmy dev dessalines talks about how it’s being removed (and should’ve been removed sooner) here.

It kind of depends on the context it’s used in. The common meaning has also changed over time. All government press releases could be considered propaganda and they generally aren’t frowned upon. Having a Ministry of Propaganada used to be common until the word gained a negative connotation.

News propaganda is frowned upon because it’s fundamentally dishonest, even if individual stories are true. It’s masquerading as an attempt to discover truth through fact-finding when in reality it’s disseminating received “truth” from an authority. If, for example, the Russian government wants to spread a false story through RT, it doesn’t matter the size of your mountain of facts negating it, you cannot overturn received truth at RT. It’s not easy, and is often impossible, to discern between discovered and received ‘truth’ from propaganda networks.

It would die. The roots need to do gas exchange too. Ideal soil composition is generally 45% mineral, ~25% water, ~25% air, and 5% organic matter.

Tree bark also does gas exchange.

Same! Pre-ordered and played hundreds of hours. It should’ve been released 6 months later but most of the bugs weren’t game-breaking. If an NPC had their arms stretched out to the side or whatever, I’d just have a laugh and move on. I’ve had to reload a save to get a side quest to trigger twice. I don’t think it’s even ever crashed on me though.

It’s just become blindly accepted that it is/was unplayable. I remember seeing so many articles months, even a year, after its release just confused about how so many people could be playing this unplayable game. Yet it’s always been consistently in Steam’s top 25 games for active players. It’s a weird disconnect.
