Incomprehensible comment.

Yeah, it's still popping.

Honestly, I totally get that. But for what it's worth, the game is more than just maximizing efficiencies like this. This is just a crazy case for me.

Multiboxing is not botting. Conflating the two implies ignorance.

For context, "multiboxing" is running multiple clients at once, and usually stacking them on a single monitor and rapidly flicking through them with a program like EVE-O Preview to activate commands with the mouse in short order. It is allowed in EVE, it is not against the TOS. Some people multibox with tiled windows, or one per monitor, though, because they prefer it for various reasons.
I love EVE Online, but "multiboxing" was tricky for me in Linux. I like using the CLI for everything I can, but get completely swamped still when dealing with cocktails like Lutris, WINE prefixes, and dependencies. So I was super interested when I stumbled upon Bottles - it seemed to solve a lot of my issues. Then, I realized GNOME's workspaces basically did the same thing as the old Windows program I used... and that was all she wrote. It worked perfectly for me, why overthink it? I recorded my newbie solution to (hopefully) convince other players to switch. Do you have any advice or corrections for me? Did I make a cardinal sin? Is this the dumbest thing you've ever seen? Hit me with your honest takes. <3
I've long wanted to encapsulate these thoughts on contemporary safe spots. Sadly, this issue is terribly unimportant, and who the hell plays EVE in 2024, am I right? But the fire burns inside me nonetheless. And now it burns inside you as well. Bobspeed, Capsuleer.

It blew my mind because I wasn't expecting it.
does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.
I don't know. Never watched it.
Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?
That is what he meant. I interpreted it as "fuck yeah dude, that shit rules" more than "we talk shit" but who the hell knows.

I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said "yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?" And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes "they talk MAD shit in the show man." Blew my mind.

Wow, such a thoughtful and useful comment. I had to be carful to avoid spoilers and you were super sensitive to that while still giving great advice. Bravo and thank you.
I am having so much fun with this one. The systems are super polished and everything feels so smooth. If you are into platformers and somehow missed this one too, watch me play for a bit. It seems to have everything. If you have any pointers that aren't blatant spoilers, I would love to hear them. Thanks in advanced.

The controller support seems good, but this style of platform shooter is pretty rough in general with the swivel aim. I think you could skip this one if you are a controller user (I love them too).

Got any wise tips on how to enjoy the game, without giving anything away? I am at home in these sandboxes, but wouldn't want to miss out on something fun.
This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner. Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.

It isn't sleeping, I'm just being dramatic. But, simple insects often just have resting periods, kind of like a cat. They're still alert, generally.

Thank you. I feel better now.
This was probably the first insect I ever truly appreciated as a youngster. The best part is that these guys generally let you take cool pictures of them right up close. Although, sometimes they do fly away suddenly...

So there's a neat trick for Odonata to differentiate between Damsels and Dragons. Look at the wings — do they "fan out" or are they "in line" with the abdomen? If they "fan out", and all four wings are roughly the same shape and size, it's a Dragonfly. If the wings are "in line" with the abdomen and the forewings and hindwings have slightly or even dramatically different shapes, it's a Damselfly.
Using this logic, we're looking at a Damselfly here. This can be confirmed by looking at the insect's body, it's very slim, whereas Dragonflies tend to have stouter body segments.
As for a species, at a glance, it looks an awful lot like an Ebony Jewelwing to me, but I'm not going to identify it with those pictures, as pretty (and haunting) as they may be, there isn't enough detail to use a key. But the colors, shape, and wing patternation are decently convincing that this is a female Calopteryx maculata.
Thanks for sharing!

 I love these little guys. I saw this one on my driveway baking in the sun and relocated them to a flower using a stick for a photo shoot. After 15 minutes or so our little friend here scurried away into some leaf litter. 💚

There's a grain of truth in here, but not quite. One in every four or so (not quite, but we can roll with it regardless) identified species of animal is a beetle. Not one in every four animals, by population nor overall species.
The reasons for this is are many, but may include because beetles are big, easy to catch, agriculturally-significant, and are particularly easy to pin and study, dramatically boosting the count of beetle species we work with on an academic level (lending to higher identification rates). There are also just a shitload of beetle species, naturally.
Scientists estimate something closer to ~10 million species of animals, which would still make beetles a huge percentage of the species, but a far cry from 25%. If you looked at the total number (estimated) of individual animals, beetles are pretty insignificant.
Source: Studied entomology and love me some Coleoptera
They love milkweed. You can attract them to your yard if you plant some. I've personally raised large colonies of these for research, they're truly remarkable insects for a number of reasons, beauty of both the larvae and adults being chief among them. One of the more common issues that plague the Monarch is *Ophryocystis elektroscirrha*, a parasite that can be identified by examining a body-dust sample through a microscope. OE is passed on via spores that are consumed, and if an animal is affected by OE and undergoes metamorphosis, it will emerge with a number of defects that often lead to reduced lifespan or imminent death. Sadly, in research environments, the only way to deal with OE outbreaks (a sign of poor control) is to euthanize the animals to contain the spread of spores. This is typically done using a freezer, which ostensibly allows the animal a peaceful death by slowing down its metabolism and numbing its senses.
Tiger beetles are notable for one thing: their speed. They can move up to 9km per hour, which given their size, is spectacular (a 1:125 body length per second ratio). Because they run so fast, they can be observed pausing after short bursts. Scientists suspect this brief respite is a way for the insect to get its bearings. But, like a lot of entomology, there are other ideas...
These aquatic insects are intimidating-looking, with large modified forelimbs. Although they live in the water, they're air-breathers, and like virtually all insects, can fly when necessary. The modified forelegs, referred to as "raptorial" (predatory) legs, have a similar function to that of mantises — they grab and secure prey to be consumed. Preferred prey is soft-bodied, but Giant water bugs don't need to discriminate, given how powerful they are for their size. However, unlike a praying mantis that chews its prey with a traditional insect-mouth plan made of many mandibles, since Giant water bugs are Hemiptera, they have a straw instead of "teeth." This means that they, like some assassin bugs and spiders, rely on injecting digestive juices into their immobilized prey, then sucking up the now-digested innards. In my personal experience, these things are scarier than they look, but they're absolutely capable of pinching or piercing you with their forelimbs, and they move fast in the water. I personally stay away from them.
