PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•"Chinese courts have ruled that gaming accounts, in-game items, and digital purchases can be passed on to family after death, setting a major legal precedent for digital ownership."
38·10 days agoHow is this related to what PlexSheep said?
The name derives from an old Irish one that means “little king”, so in that sense it’s pretty perfect for a cat

cats@lemmy.world•Simon yells, because you are pooping when you should be petting.
23·13 days agoThat is a full-force complaint right there. That’s going straight to your manager whether you like it or not
It’s like they can turn their bones off at will
He looks like a wonderful little guy. His eyes are very expressive

cats@lemmy.world•I wasn't sure where Alaric was until I went to get my shoes and found that he had tucked himself in for a nap
2·20 days agoLike Alaric the Goth! Naming a black cat after the wrong kind of goth seemed funny to me. Also “Alaric” means king of everything, which seemed about right for him. I am glad to hear that his Ostrogothic kinsman is faring well

9·20 days agoWell because I didn’t? Bizarre thing to be so hostile about. He didn’t pull it over himself, he just burrowed under it
I suppose it probably depends on their coats quite a bit? One with a dense layer of down hair is effectively wearing a winter coat compared to another cat wearing a windcheater
But in general, their natural body temperatures are a degree or two higher than ours, which is probably part of why they love being so warm
Before I opened this, I thought from the thumbnail that it was going to be a drawing of a pen on the floor and that it was cat art because the cat knocked it off the table

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•A Baldur's Gate 2 remake is apparently in development, with the original co-lead designer returning
8·2 months agoI mean, yes it is effort going in, but it’s effort by different people to the BG3 devs and it’s effort on remastering a game that the BG3 devs weren’t involved in. The BG3 engine is Larian’s own one as well, so I don’t think that this team would even have the option of using it

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•[Elden Ring Theory] How the Realm of Shadow Fits Into the Lands Between (in video format this time, non-youtube link in description)
1·2 months agoThis is one of those theories! There are just a lot of different ideas on exactly how and where it fits into the sea. The connection between Caelid and the Mountaintops is part of why I think my idea works (though not what I based it on)

7·2 months agoThere’s not a solid answer on exactly what it is, though given that I made the video I’m sure I don’t need to re-iterate what I think. A lot of people, myself included, think that it was a part of the Lands Between that got hidden away because of a few different things. The Suppressing Pillar inscription and Miyazaki’s own statements make it pretty direct, in my opinion, but there are various other smaller things. I’ve seen some people argue that it’s an afterlife of a sort, or that it’s entirely within Marika’s dreams, but I don’t personally find those explanations particularly convincing or satisfying. Whatever it is, it was at some point “obscured by the Erdtree”, and there is literally a colossal veil hanging over the entire sky to reinforce that

There are two main accoints of the story and, ironically, he didn’t actually manage anything useful in either of them
In the oldest one, he was sent from Athens to Sparta to ask for help against the invadng Persians. He ran 240 km in two days in this version of the story, only for the Spartans to say that actually they were busy with a religious festival and would not be coming to help. He then ran back. In this one he runs more than ten marathons in a matter of days and doesn’t die, and while the Spartans didn’t help someone did have to go ask to find that out
In the later one, he ran the 40 km from the battle of Marathon back to Athens to say “we won” and then die. Of course, there’s not really any strategic decisions required from the information of “we won”, so in this version he ran himself to death for basically no reason at all
