To paraphrase Darkmatter: “what being hit for stealing a candy bar taught me wasn’t that it’s immoral to steal, it’s that violence is how you solve your problems.”

Depending on what aspects you like about Skyrin, Dread Delusion scratches the same “getting lost in a very interesting setting” itch. It’s Open World as well.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs sequal is looking blursed!

I’m not very far in at all, but Dread Delusion is reminding me a lot of Morrowind, though you don’t have a visible character and I don’t know if there’s random events.

Civ VII is a failure of market research for exactly that reason. I don’t even think the shifting cultures in Humankind is necessarily a flaw; it’s just different. But it’s very clear Civ players hated it, and a single trip down Humankind’s Steam reviews makes that crystal clear, so when I saw Civ VII was copying that feature my immediate response was “dumb asses, this is gomna fail.”

Apparently it was profitable though. Somehow. And the fact that its profitability was considered news-worthy says a lot.

Agreed, but we do what we can.

You can report scalpers and get their listings taken down on ebay.

To everyone complaining about scalpers: if you report them on ebay, they will get taken down. Go make their lives harder!

The Endless games have such fucking dope ass lore and it makes me wish there was any kind of RPG where we could get more intricate lore instead of just the grand, sweeping stuff.

Like, how do the average Riftborn cope? What was it like for individual Vaulters to retuen to the stars? What’s it like day to day in Broken Lord society?

So many awesome things to explore and the vistas would be stunning! I really hope Amplitude gives us one someday. But they’re still fantastic 4x games with great music and top tier artwork. If you’re a 4x, definitely go try them! Just don’t expect Civ.

The bacteria better buy my genes dinner firsr!

This is more of a desktop environment thing than a distro-specific thing. If I recall correctly, both KDE Plasma and GNOME both have touchscreen support. Pretty much every, single distro offers one, the other, or both. So I’d just look for one who’s marketing to your usecase and try it out.

Nah, they’ve been warping it that way since Obama at least, if not earlier. It’s just only now they’ve had a rogue executive branch to back them up.

Made my own post first but I highly approve of this! This is almost exactly what I was saying should be required by law as someome who didn’t get that but homeschooling still worked out great for me.

I got homeschooled. One thing I think a lot of people don’t know is that there are computerized curriculum that leaves you perfectly capable of passing standardized testing. I actually took dual credit for my last year and did college English and History. So obviously being homeschooled worked well for me.

I also grew up in the church and the only reason I’m grateful for it is because, despite now not being a Christian, it did counter-balance what others have rightly pointed out that parents must make an effort to socialize their kid outside the family if it’s at all possible. Ans regularly. Which is another thing people don’t know: there are also programs designed to get homeschooled kids together and help make up for this.

So let me say as a homeschooled Christian kid who was still smart enough to deconstruct my faith and my father’s conservative politics and who thrived in their brief time in a college environment that I am clealry not a dumb ass. I now also work at a local ISP where my job is to de-escalate the most frustrated and angry customers, and while I primarily do this via email, I am even better at it on the phone. So I am clearly not lacking social skills.

My personal assessment is that homeachooling is a perfectly viable option. And I fully believe it should be a right, because especially in America’s current administration I think we all should be able to easily see why having no alternative to state-provided education could easily be turned against us.

It also turns out that I’m undiagnosed auDHD, so being homeschooled and being able to work at my own pace was probably one of the few reasons I did as well as I did in school because I didn’t have to rage against my neurodivergence.

On the flipside, however, I also believe there’s entirely too few guard rails, and it does lead to a lot of severely illprepared parents fucking their kids up. I’m lucky that (at least while crowing up) my parents took me and my sisters’ education very seriously.

I think there needs to be an arm of the Department of Education that helps prepare parents for homeschooling and requires regular visits to homeschooling locations to ensure that they are actually being educated and that they’re capable of passing standardized tests. Oh, and computerized curriculum should be required.

Jelly did nothing wrong. Just look at that face!

Cap. I was a formerly incredibly devoute conservative evangelical. I found my way out. People find their way out all the time, they just get buried under all the other discourse.

I wonder if there will be a point after the bubble bursts that RAM will be cheaper than it’s ever been due to the fact that “demand” have seemingly fallen off a cliff for them between when they sold out and when the bubble finally pops.

You should check out Redout then!

For all those wondering, no, this is not PS5 exclusive: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4231820/Castlevania_Belmonts_Curse/

Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 to A Realm Reborn.

Granted, expansions after that were sold, but still, that one update turned the game around and allowed it to turn a multi-million dollar failure into a multi-million dollar success.
