How was Genesis?

I own the whole series but I've only played the first (which I loved) and a bit of the second. I dropped it since the devs didn't seem interested in continuing from the sequel hook in the first game. Now that they are finally getting around to that, is it worth playing the rest before 4 comes out? Do the other Riders' stories contribute to the plotline of War's campaign, or are they all just kind of doing their own thing?

I never figured it out, I just burned out so hard that I burned my bridges with the people who were abusing my time and willingness to help.

It's a shame they were also paying me, but at least now my mental health is slowly recovering.

"Are those cataracts?"

"No, nesting."

After all this time we're finally getting a direct sequel to the first game? I never thought I'd see the day.

And it's wrapped around a nice, juicy meal for when it gets hungry!

On the one hand, it increased my screenshot count by one.

On the other hand, it's also the first time I've ever used one of those screenshots for anything.

Noooo, I'd never do that!

Tap for spoilerI certainly wouldn't average one pointless screenshot every 3-4 days!

And for a confirmed conspiracy led by a secret society of movers and shakers there's Propaganda Due, a now-dissolved Italian Masonic lodge whose members (including future Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi) held high positions in Italy's government, military, intelligence agencies, religious institutions, and news industry.

Many former members still hold a great deal of power even though P2 is known to have had journalists and dissidents assassinated, supported terrorists targeting their own citizens, and were plotting a right-wing coup (one that sounds a hell of a lot like what is happening in the US, for that matter).

Remember Community Sort is on.

And now I can't replicate the issue in beta. Maybe I simply imagined it happening after updating?

I'm sure that proper padding is important for both!

 

I'm not sure if this is a Voyager issue or a Lemmy API one, but when viewing the profile of someone who comments but hasn't made a post in a while, old posts will be sprinkled randomly through their comments list.

Selecting Posts or Comments returns everything in the correct order; it's only the overview that's wrong.


On a related note, when viewing my own profile it suddenly skips a few weeks of comments after the first page:

(My apology for the politics, but that's where the split was)

This too only happens on the overview page and not when viewing comments alone.

 

When I flip Voyager to landscape, there's sometimes an extra row of padding below the bottom bar:

It usually fixes itself if I flip to portrait and back a few times:

But after rotating back to portrait, there is now negative padding and the buttons are below my phone's softkeys and unusable:

This happens anywhere in the app.

I saw the fix mentioned in the changelog, but this is still happening to me. When I open the app my subscribed communities defaults to Active sort, after a refresh it properly sorts by New. I switched to the beta and no luck there either.

It's probably more accurate to refer to him as the father of modern surgery, but I was thinking of William Harsted, who - alongside many other innovations (such as championing anesthetics and sterile surgical environments, both of which are alarmingly recent inventions) - created the residency system that's still used for training hospital staff today.

He demanded insane hours of his staff, which he was easily able to handle himself due to his cocaine habit, and which have been kept to this day (a law was passed attempting to cap it at 80 hours a week, but it's widely ignored) because studies show that shortening medical shifts results in worse patient outcomes.

It turns out minimizing shift changes is critical - the doctors/nurses who've been observing the patient are more aware of what's going on and can spot any changes in behavior or subtle warning signs of danger, whereas their replacements can only go by what's on a patient's medical chart and what they're told during handover.

 

Long-pressing the link in [https://lemmy.ml/comment/7302466](this comment) will cause Boost to crash.

The link markdown is wrong, with the URL in the text tag and the destination tag empty, but this shouldn't crash the app.

Alternate test link in case the commenter fixes it: https://www.example.com
