Paru tends to handle things EVER so slightly better. Really tho it REALLY doesn’t make a difference in reality.

Proton i believe has a selection of locations that support port forwarding.

Everyone has beef with him literally everyone. But he makes sure to ban from anything he can to keep them out of his chat or other places his community gathers.

Hes been grifting lying and grooming since second life. He just changes his name and moves to a new community when shit blows up in his face and it becomes too much of a problem.

His entire professional shtick is to make sure people don’t learn about his past and to lie and make himself look good

Pirate has a history of, grooming, digital labor theft, lying, sexism, scamming, being an asshole, to name a few things.

Hell his current persona isn’t even his first one. He never actually worked on blizzards security team, he was a support staff. Half his stories have been proven to be lies.

About the only thing that’s true is family connections got him a job there.

But the man his a raging narcissist and a grifter. The whole pirate software persona is just his latest grift.

LTT likely because Linus is extremely out of touch. Like comically so.

Game nexus likely because Steve is more focused on other sectors of the industry. He’s a hardware and news guy more then a “gaming” channel in the strictest of sense. So it just very likely slipped his radar.

Don’t call him Thor call him what he is, a loser. Sullying the good name of Norse gods.

Nothing brings the internet together like hating a sexist self centered egotistical narcissist.

Seriously pirate has been an asshole for like 20 years. He’s been banned from furry communities, kicked out of second life communities, rejected from eve communities.

Now people are realizing how much of a scum bag he is in the streamer community.

The only upside his asshole self centeredness has draw crazy attention to the partition.

We call this marketing bullshit.

It mostly can get the job done. Mice that have more then just mouse 4/5 tend to be entirely fucked and good luck.

There is a difference between ruining the life of a 13 year old boy for the rest of his life with no recourse and no expectations.

Vs scaring the shit out of them and making them work their ass off doing an ass load of community service for a summer.

Last time I looked into Apollo it had a bunch of controversy around it and it’s owner. And it was extremely hostile to anyone seeking help in their discord support channel.

Made me swear off the project and the dev.

Frostpunk is a puzzle game not a city builder would be why

It just uses a city builder as the UI.

Great example of mistaken expectations and mislabeled genre.

The intended meaning of most of from soft games is perseverance in spite of objective futility and the failure of society.

The world has died, society has failed, the powerful both good and bad have failed. No one, no matter their intentions can change the world for everyone around them let alone themselves by themselves. The good can not make the world better and the bad can not make it worse.

To inact change requires people to sacrifice and push forward. Even if it means their doom, even if it’s pointless. For no good ever comes from half measures, from hiding away, or from denying that which is around them because it is unpleasant.

For only with perseverance and the lasting memory and hope of change being taken up be each successor can true change be made.

And even still, to fight to hold that change still, and deny the next generation their right to enact change is just as futile and harmful as not trying at all.

This not including the additional horrors and commentary from their armored core games or spin offs such as Bloodborne. Even those series still have this under lying messaging.

While you arnt wrong on the aesthetics and what they give off on a surface level. You clearly lack the context of the world and story of the main souls games beyond only what is on the cover. You are very much in the wrong and deeply at that, over what the meaning of the worlds of from soft games.

Haunting IS a better word to describe it then stunning tho.

For as “nuanced” as people like to claim the from soft games are. They are very very blunt with their messaging, even if the stories they tell are terribly convoluted.

Iv always just run the modding software in the same wine/proton instance as the game and it just works like on windows.

Other then wabbajack for Bethesda games because the devs behind that are fucking asshats who break their shit on purpose if you try to use it outside how they want you to use it.

It’s always been very easy to mod.

FF14 and BDO for example still have GMs but they are woefully understaffed. This is the more common reality.

Few to no mmos have zero GMs. They just frequently only work for like an hour a day doing spot checks are under staffed and mostly just are email support.

The old days of gms frequently being actively in-game to reach out to 24/7 isn’t a thing anymore.

A load of game patchers use torrent tech to improve speeds. Lots of gamers torrent with out even realizing it

By that logic we should never remove anything legacy ever. It don’t work like that.

Considering gender is a social construct it can’t exist till a person has assimilated the information needed to create the construction.

Them figuring out where they sit inside of that construction is the tricky part.

Sexuality is hard to say, but considering observation in preferences among other species it’s likely to not manifest fully till an organism goes though their equivalent of puberty.

So in either case there’s basically no real argument that either is from birth. But also there’s even less of an argument that it’s a conscious choice. It’s a manifestation of the chemicals and/or the perception of the person. Depending on which of the two your talking about.

Now if we talking about biological sex. Then yeah your born with the bits you have. Don’t mean you can’t have them changed. Or disagree with the social expectations of gender commonly associated with those bits. Thank you modern medicine and fuck expectations!

Generally every aftermarket battery iv bought has been like this. Shorter stated lifespan, but perfectly functional and frequently lasts just as long as OEM.

Just go with a private company that specializes in the manufacture of the laptop in question and spend a bit more.

Rare to get a crap battery unless your trying to save every cent possible.

Or… It could just be a dude. Sometimes it’s just that simple.
