About to become No Nuts November?

Very sorry for your loss. As long as you remember her, she’ll be alive in your heart. I’ll tell my boy to look out for Maddie, in that place where we can hopefully join them one day.

Yeah, because women are their appearance and nothing more.

Good point.

He looks proud. Did he build it?

I won’t buy this game. Partly out of solidarity with the people who got laid off, partly because I don’t want there to be effectively no devs to deal with bugs. And finally because this tells me there’s no additional content coming, paid or unpaid.

Assholes taking every opportunity to make noise that irritates some and scares others.

Alternatively, you could read the article and know for sure what it actually says.

“Gradually, then suddenly.”

Hey now, they’re not right wing extremists. All they want to do is deport all the non-whites, since they’re criminals!

They can deny it all they want, it still means customer money is ending up in the pockets of the extreme far right. I personally am not comfortable with that, so I switched to IVPN.

Edit: also it wasn’t just some employee, it was one of the founders of the company.

If you want to install Win 10 for whatever reason, you can use this to activate it: https://massgrave.dev/

I use Linux for most desktop things and Win for gaming.

I deleted my account as well, citing Andy Yen. Never used Proton that much, more or less just had an account as a backup. I’ve been using Fastmail since the early 00s.

Our old lady just turned 20 as well. Hope your kitties have many more healthy years ahead of them.

As if it wasn’t de facto legal already. There’s a reason they’ve been bringing them to russia for decades. This is just theater.

And where does this cycle of hatred end?

Let’s see. Maybe we could start with the russians not invading other countries and brutalizing their people? Or is your point that it’s us on the receiving end who are supposed to magically not hate the invaders?

Do you know the kind of generational trauma caused by rape, torture, dispossession and murder? Because that’s what I’ve inherited, and yes, as a result I don’t want anything to do with any russians.

Was it the kremlin who raped, tortured and murdered in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol and other places in their current war? Or was it “normal” russians?

Good. Fuck the russians. My grandparents always said “ryssä on ryssä vaikka voissa paistais.” Which means “a russian is a russian even if you fry them in butter.” They never forgot what the soviets did to our country.

Hope Bambi makes it.

Yes, it’s hyperbole. I didn’t mean there are literally only 5.

These are my criticisms of the game I’ve played since the closed beta. Namely that it all feels the same. Yes, like I said in my other comment, there’s inevitably repetition in any game, but Elite is very shallow compared to most other sandbox games I’ve played.

Star types exist, yes, but they’re just floating orbs of fire with different colors. Stations and outposts etc exist, but you interact with them in the same way. What is there to interact with? How does it affect the system around it or the gameplay? Factions at war spawn conflict zones, but aside from those, there’s very little to make you feel like a war is actually taking place. Exploration? I haven’t done that in a long time, but at least before, it consisted of you jumping to a system, honking your system scan and then going to the next system. Engineering is “hey, let’s play around with a random number generator”, and then wasting a lot of resources you’ve managed to collect in various places over a not insignificant amount of time.

Yes, it’s a sandbox and I don’t mind repetition, but if after a week of playing you feel like you’ve seen pretty much everything there is to see, barring the things you need to grind for, I wouldn’t consider it worth the entrance price.

If you consider that “besmirching” the game, then I would call you excessively defensive. It’s just a game, and it doesn’t need you to defend it.
