The worst possibility for the games is they make fromsoft games exclusive to their platform, and then maybe or maybe not release a PC port of it a year or more later. We saw with bloodborne that that was a “not”, and the demons souls remake seems to also be a “not”. Other games, I guess we’d wait and see.

I mind it. In isolation it would be fine, but with their ignorance, these types punish and harm their families, mainly their children, who would otherwise just grow up to cut contact with them anyway, long as they didn’t end up sharing their views. Plus when it’s disease, they just have to walk near a person who isn’t another conservative to spread it. As we learned from covid, the best person to be wearing the mask is the sick one, and they don’t play along.

CDDA is a 2D top down roguelike survival game, set in an apocalypse where zombies, aliens, hellspawn and so many other horrible things have shown up everywhere and completely pushed back humanity to the brink of extinction. There are so many real world items like specific gun brands and models, foods with lots of recipes to make bigger and better meals with, recreational drugs tucked into drawers and the pockets of felled zombies.

You could play like a survivalist hobo out in the woods living off the land away from all the carnage and sipping pine needle tea all day while tending to your crops, or explore cities overrun with undead and using night to cover your tracks as you hop through open windows, climb up downspouts and leap from roof to roof. Or you could head down into secret labs to loot cybernetic implants and mutagenic compounds to become something more than human.

You could do quests for NPC factions and also build a team of NPC followers of your own so that you can (over a long period of time and a significant resource investment) build up the structures in your own custom settlement, sending your followers out on missions.

Or you can find enough materials, tools, vehicle parts and mechanics skill books, to become a master mechanic and build up your own custom armored super car, once you tire of walking or bicycling everywhere or driving a bog standard sedan you fixed up off the road.

The controls are very complicated, and if you’re the type to get mad when the devs change or nerf something you were used to, you’ll be pissed a lot. Some of the things I said may not even be accurate any more, I know custom vehicle construction got way harder after the last time I played, among other things, but otherwise it’s one of the most intricate and complex games out there, in a usually fun way, with very good mod support.

Reminder that the phrase “may you live in interesting times” is a curse against the recipient. Lots of boring nothing happening for multiple generations is the best that anyone can hope for. How I yearn for boring…

I’ve used it for a long time, on desktop and mobile Firefox. Sometimes if, for instance, I find a person with a red name, like on reddit maybe, I might check through their post history and see some of the other things they’ve said, and I’ve often struggled to find anything related to their views on trans people, scrolling and scrolling through hundreds of comments and posts and never finding a thing. And other times it’s immediately apparent. I imagine for a lot of just regular people on the internet, getting their name red can be as simple as sharing an ignorant opinion once, twice, a handful of times, but not appearing to actively espouse anti trans bigotry.

Since there is no, like, way to add a note to an account that is being marked, or to save a web address linking to the post or event or thing that made somebody flag them, there’s never any way to be sure why an account is red or not unless you just happen to stumble upon the post that caused the flag, or if they frequently express their bigotry such that any of it would be easy to find.

Plus some people using the plugin might just not understand the rules, and mark people who just are trans as green, instead of people who do pro trans activism or strongly voice support for us, like the rules say. So, for red names, maybe someone has never shared an opinion on trans people but they just give off a “vibe” that makes a person mark them red. Or, one could even be a troll or anti trans person who downloaded the plugin to start flagging wrong on purpose just to screw with us, I don’t think there’s any protection against that scenario. So you just can’t know for sure.

For my purposes, I’m always wary of red names/links as a rule, and generally more trusting of green names, but if the topic at hand isn’t about trans people at all, I may overlook the colors entirely, though I tend to let that information guide my interactions with the marked. I have found, though, that whole websites, subreddits or notable internet personalities, like their twitters or YouTube accounts or something, which were marked one color or the other, tend to be more reliable than just a random individual’s social media account. More eyes, more chance a person would see something sus and flag it again.

I would agree with the reviews that said they use it as a suggestion, it cannot be definitive with how it works, but that doesn’t really take away from it I don’t think, it’s a good warning system for not wasting your time somewhere or with someone that doesn’t respect trans people, as a trans person. Just sometimes you have to ask “why would this account be marked red/green?” and to consider that when doing your mental calculus about interacting with a certain person/site/etc or not.

Edit: fixed some words

These talking points sound like those of Thor from pirate software. I hope that’s not who you got this opinion from, because that man is just an industry shill.

I’m happy for you. I was born in a red state that doesn’t allow changing info on a birth certificate. I only lived there for 10 months as an infant, and in a blue state the rest of my life. So it will never be changed, the M will stare back at me and out me to the upcoming government if I ever need to use it.

I’m rushing to get my name legally changed so my updated passport can be correct. My current one has 5 more years, but so it’s all my amab info. I’m terrified of how little time is left.

Maybe you’ll survive, bunch of people will survive, but not a lot of the minorities the Republicans currently have in their crosshairs. Maybe you’ll find all the skeletons in the camps after however many years or decades it will take to defeat fascism.

I’m so sorry. But on the one hand, if you haven’t started anything yet, that’ll be less of a paper trail for you. I’ve been on hrt for a year, and I can only imagine they’ll try and ban the drugs entirely. I haven’t changed my name, but I have changed my gender marker. You’re losing time, time you’ll sadly never get back, but in my case, I will lose time, my meds, all the progress I’ve made. I… don’t know how to deal with this.

We sure do… I’ve been on hrt for over a year now, at least, so there’s that.

Me too. Although I’m not out yet. I’m thinking I’ll need to scramble, now, to put in my name/passport changes before I potentially lose the chance. Of course, I don’t pass, don’t have the wardrobe, makeup or body to pass. I wanted to wait a little longer before coming out, lose weight, fix my shit, you know. Don’t have the money to do anything, change anything how I want.

I feel ill. I wish I could go back to sleep, but I’m too wound up on fear and trepidation.

An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don’t want to draw attention to their affair. It’s an awful thing.

CDPR had originally announced a multiplayer mode, and then canned it after the launch disaster. Apparently there’s a mod being made to put it back in, though, that’s neat.

Because the people with that holier than thou attitude believe that if they just convince enough people, their socialist/progressive third party that gets one vote every election will definitely overtake both Dems and Republicans in a total landslide, and will immediately stop the genocide in Palestine and the war in Ukraine once they’re in. Or they’re a tankie accelerationist and want trump to win because they think it will lead to a revolution and their perfect political utopia will be in place in mere weeks. They’d just rather die of old age, suffering in a corrupt and polluted fascist hell decades after all their friends were culled, than ever admit that they are wrong or ever accept they will never live to see their desired future.

Edit: I realize I sound super rude and aggressive in the last sentence, sorry. I say they’ll never live to see it because something like eliminating capitalism is an extreme long term goal. It can’t happen overnight, or in a single geneation. It’s too deeply engrained in the entire operation of the world as it stands. It has to be pruned back until it can be removed. It’s like that one phrase, something like men plant trees in whose shade they’ll never sit, or something like that. I don’t think I’ll live to see it either, but I would love to. I’d definitely prefer a socialist society, capitalism has been the cause of all my life’s traumas. But you just can’t get the world to change that fast.

Some months ago, I suddenly realized my birth certificate could be problem, I was born in a red state but only lived there for less than a year as a baby before my mom moved us back to a state in New England. And of course I ended up being trans. So I looked up my birth state’s rules and just couldn’t stop crying, I even left work early that day because I was so upset by it. Fuck the right, fuck the bigots.

You can be interested in politics without having to engage with the media machine and all it’s biases.

No they don’t, real wars and conflicts do.

Projection or wrong thread?
