Been late getting to play it, and honestly, It's shown me how poor I am in terms of reaction times and general #gaming "skill", but some of the scenes in #EldenRing are utterly outstanding.
Also runs buttery smooth with #Proton #LinuxGaming - GNU/Linux really is a perfectly valid choice for someone who might enjoy some light casual gaming.
I feel your pain. I haven't submitted an app to Apple in years. 
I feel that Apple's reviewers often truly 'represent' the dumb possible user interactions.
They expect something like an overly complicated tutorial, and have a exaggerated animation 'You Got Mouse' and animate it entering the menu button. Have the menu button pulse, and highlight new items not used before....

Volunteer-run kitchens in greater Khartoum are helping to sustain residents at risk of famine in Sudan. But those who run them say they need more support amid ongoing conflict, as VOA’s Henry Wilkins explains.
I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council.
During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town.
CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment.
#Seattle #SPD #CathyMoore
Activist held a noise demo Sunday evening at councilman Bob Kettle's house(the guy who called the cops on public commentors).
Councilman Kettle is ramming through the new Seattle stop and frisk law SOAP/SODA. It targets anyone who looks homeless, is dressed similarly to a sexworker or looks like they do drugs and enables cops and courts to banish people from large swaths of neighborhoods.
Unsurprisingly, Bob Kettle lives in Seattle's favorite Sun Down town.

I called the cops to file a report. We have photos of the assailants and videos. Most appeared to live on the block with the councilman and some home addresses of assailants were documented. The EMTs arrived within about 10min.
The cops NEVER showed up to take the report. We waited two hours.
People ask why we protest?
They destroyed our gardens.
They shutdown public comment.
They passed laws, attempting to criminalize homeless people existing near Mutual Aid services
In the medium term I'd like some support completing my fundraiser to spend time with my newborn.
I also at the same time am working on the start of some formal processes to hold this current Seattle City Council accountable. I can't talk about that in detail until documents are completed and filed due to rules. But I'm going to need a bit of heads down time to get that project fully into flight.
In the short term, I'm gonna need a day or two to recover but might need some sleuthing help to get to a final ID on the primary assailant.
If you or someone you know has had to sue over these sorts of issues in the King County area I'd love a lawyer recommendation or help sleuthing once I make content available (hopefully I caught the money shot 🤞🏿).
I'm fairly certain the neighbors we were able to already ID know the identity of the attacker, so I'm confident we can shake something loose.
Seattle city council is probably about to do some bullshit.
I'm still a bit dazed from the getting assaulted thing, would normally try and give public comment, but I'm really not feeling up to much rn.
People waiting for the meeting report a notable increase in police presence. Folks who spoke last week say they were indentified by cops and followed around while waiting.
They are just calling the meeting to order now.
#Seattle #SOAP #I137 #socialhousingnow
Ok it seems the council has finally revealed their sabotage plan for I-137.
They introduced an alternative which reduces the $50M for social housing down to $10M ‼️
It also changes the funding source to literally take it out of other existing services already limited budget. 🚨
But the voters petition, which passed and their trying to ignore, would use a small tax on Seattle's mega corps and large businesses.
They will likely delay I-137 to Thursday's meeting.
House Our Neighbors, the folks who've been introducing social housing initiatives, are holding a public discussion tonight about the alternative bill.
Tonight's discussion was supposed to be a public forum with Tanya Woo(who was super uninformed last few council votes lol) but she dropped out. Probably bc she doesn't want to be questioned about this new sabotage proposal.

Of course. A project that big needs to be split into several stages.

ICYMI, my partner @nullagent was assaulted last night protesting at a #Seattle City Council member's home over the anti-homeless/anti-SW legislation that's underway.
He's heading over to urgent care now to get a full assessment, and possible stitches for the head wound.
We are getting some extra help at home this week, but he REALLY needs to rest up and take it easy while he recovers. We have one overdue bill to pay + lots of expenses coming up.

This quote from the Heritage Foundation is really important because KOSA sucks and it has strong bipartisan support. So call your Democratic representatives and tell them that KOSA will be used to block access to essential information about abortion.

And had it generate a podcast. Took like 10 seconds and the podcast it made sounded really engaging. Unfortunately, lol, it was very inaccurate. You can listen to the output below if you want:

i think the main concern i have with something like this is that it severely limits your options when it comes to the base system, especially since getting snap working properly on other systems can be an ordeal in itself due to the several out of tree kernel patches required.
In this case it’s not a huge deal because Neon was already Ubuntu based, but it would complicate things if they wanted to offer a rolling system for the base, or even if they wanted to offer newer kernels like Pop!_OS since they’d need to patch the level every time for strict confinement support. Which is why Solus abandoned Snap support recently.
