They might get some, but at least a few were barred from doing any work toward any successors or other private servers by the court ruling. I’ve never played Epoch but I know Ascension has the classless server and stuff, so it sounds kind of like an interesting way to go.

Chiblee enjoyers stay winning

We’ll never know how much he did/did not know in advance, but we can be sure Dan Gheesling knew. Fuck him and his mom

I appreciate the reply and insider information. I’m pretty mad with how that thread turned out too. I half-expected his community to be relatively more intelligent or empathetic since he doesn’t typically cultivate a shitty audience, but at the end of the day they are still just Twitch chatters and Reddit users.

How much of that field is just working with uncaring wealthy livestock farmers? I ask because I have a friend who went into Environmental Science and struggled to find work that wasn’t just appeasing those people.

I replied to another comment that mentioned this yesterday, but I know there’s lots of fans here. So I thought it was worth reposting.

The company that Dan Gheeling’s mom works for and who are organizing the Northernlion cruise event is real bad. They primarily work with right-wing Christians and bigots. It’s basically all their sponsors. They’ve got a Kevin Sorbo cruise coming up. They’re Zionists and organize trips to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine. It’s so so bad.

I don’t know how or why this didn’t phase him or that he didn’t think to look into it, beyond maybe just trusting Dan and his mom as a friend, but I think it’s bad enough that signal boosting it could cause them to cancel the event entirely or find another organizer since it’s a year away.

I emailed him and Kate at their business emails strongly urging them to do so.

I take back everything I said cuz I wasn’t too phased when I thought this was gonna be a silly little gimmick event but the company that Dan Gheeling’s mom works for is real bad. Not the cruiseline, but the event organizers primarily work with right-wing Christians and bigots. It’s basically all their sponsors. They’ve got a Kevin Sorbo cruise coming up. They’re Zionists. It’s so so bad.

I legitimately thought about it until I realized it was per person and not split between 4 people lol

I don’t think it’s that out of character. The reason he says he doesn’t do most collabs is because he doesn’t want to be away from his family for the extended period of time, but does them online and when people go to Canada. So taking his family on a cruise, something they do a lot together already, and also turning it into a payday makes sense to me. I hope it’s fun for everyone who goes and is the start of his collab arc, because it’s fun when streamers who aren’t awful get together. Like with Jerma’s events. It does sound like it was Dan who convinced him to do it though so maybe it’s a one-off.

The only objectively true thing is that Apple devices have stronger hardware security that can only be matched on Android by GrapheneOS. So if your primary concern is the feds trying to crack your phone using their Israeli software, it might be better to use Apple.

In addition to pinyin, people also just write the characters by hand using their fingers, like on a phone. There’s also things like Zhuyin, used in Taiwan, that are usually harder for non-native speakers to learn than Pinyin. You learn the most common character components/sounds and then ‘build’ full sentences that way.

You can kind of do that but it isn’t near that simple: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

I appreciate the response and how much it blew up. My discussion with them was informed a lot by the folks here on Hexbear at the time.

It went something like “if you care about trans people, then why won’t you listen to and vote with them?”

To which I asked “which trans people?”

They later revealed themselves to be something of a rainbow imperialist, where if a country has a bad record of LGBTQ+ rights, it justifies whatever the US does to them. Because obviously we’ll change their minds at the barrel of a gun, we just need to “follow up better”. Referring to Libya in this case.

We honestly don’t talk much anymore for obvious reasons but I have this comment locked and loaded for later.

If the same friend who tried really hard to convince me people should vote for Kamala “for trans people” tries again, I’m just blocking them on all platforms lol. Don’t do this to me again.

I talk to uni students on a regular basis and many of them unfortunately do not give a single fuck about what the companies they are trying to get hired at do. All the highest paying jobs in engineering are at ghoul factories like Google and Boeing, so if they aren’t enthusiastic, they’re at least making up whatever excuse they need to for it to be okay. Like “I’m just trying to be the data guy, I won’t be working on missiles, so it’s fine”.

I waited a while to post this to distance myself from it in time, but thought this was really funny.

I left a PSL meetup where they were discussing the aftermath of some protests they strongly helped organize and when I walked outside the building, two people out there were holding newspapers. I braced myself for what I knew was coming and chuckled under my mask. One asked me if I wanted a copy of a socialist newspaper. I squinted to see their name in the corner of the paper: Socialist Alternative. Trot org. I politely said no thank you and laughed again when I was far enough away. It was like experiencing a Hexbear post irl.

I thought: Why weren’t they inside during the entire public meeting? They’re really not beating the allegations.

You’re not even allowed to travel there on vacation, so I strongly doubt that you’d be able to move there. Can’t compete in the Pyongyang Race anymore either, only one of like 3 country passports that don’t qualify. The USAians who did were all people who ended up there during the Korean War and stayed on that side of the border.

I regularly say something like “this shit sucks” when I feel like the devs added unnecessary friction to their game that serves to just waste my time. Which I think happens a lot. There’s mechanics that boil down to just inconveniencing you, even for just a second, but provide no real challenge, narrative benefit, learning opportunities, etc.

This isn’t a singleplayer game necessarily, but doesn’t involve other players in this situation: in WoW, all mobs, including those significantly lower level than you, have/had (idk if they still do) a chance to “daze” you if they hit you while you were mounted. This slows your speed down dramatically and forces you to wait it out while running like a snail or get off your mount to fight the thing. But this could happen even if you were level 60 and the thing was level 10, meaning even 12 of them hitting you at once posed no danger to you. So it discouraged taking shortcuts through areas and made you slow down and not treat creatures that are in-universe still considered dangerous like they don’t matter, but mechanically it was just really annoying when you were trying to get to somewhere more interesting and relevant to your power level.

Recently, in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, spider web traps that make your characters unable to move unless they keep passing stat checks will last something like 5 real life minutes, even after the spiders have died and you are no longer in combat. There’s mods that add a button to delete all on-screen effects specifically because of stuff like that.

I think I’m probably overly sensitive to this kind of stuff, but game developers so often add dumb shit like this that I’m also convinced they don’t really know what they’re doing and if enough of those papercuts add up, I will just stop playing. I don’t like punch my computer or whatever, but I definitely feel like the OP.

Yeah, kinda. It’s not perfect. A lot of other stuff I use like Pangolin and Komodo doesn’t interop (well) with Podman containers though.

Bazzite has cockpit pre installed too and that has support for Podman. I still use docker cuz literally everything has a compose file ready to go, but I think a lot of Bazzite people are pod people.
