I kinda like the music. I was always a sucker for bit of celtic vibe.

I was thinking "Oh, another survival game, whatever" but this actually looks quite distinct and interesting.

Quoting: CimerydTranslated to Nynorsk? That's excellent news to... let's see, population 5.386 million divided by 12% preferring Nynorsk to Bokmål, divided by 1.85% using Linux on their desktops, we're at roughly 12,000 divided by however many play GOG games...

That's great for that one guy who translated it!

I kid, of course, good to have it in there.

That's actually another thing I love about open source. I think lots of indigenous groups trying to preserve their languages should be leaping on open source software. Microsoft is never going to do a translation of Office to Nisga'a, but the Nisga'a can translate Libreoffice if they want.

Don't do that.

The existence of "Social Justice Warriors" is an entirely made-up bogeyman from terrible people hoping to dupe others into not calling out their terrible behaviour. Anyone actually using the term is either one of those terrible people or someone that they've duped. Don't be either.

Not that social justice is a bad thing to fight for, or anything. Making the very idea of struggling for social justice into a boogeyman has been an impressive propaganda feat IMO.

This.

Say what you want about ol' Trump, but I don't trust China as far as I can spit, and I'll avoid products that have or likely have ties to the Chinese Government, where ever possible... No - before any "Social Justice Warriors" put their 5¢ in - that's not me being "anti-Chinese" or "racist", that's an opinion based on the apalling track record the Chinese Government has with regards to privacy and human rights, which are known (albeit often-ignored) facts.

This is true enough. Mind you, there are similarly solid reasons for the world community to avoid products made in the USA (and I'm not even talking about Trump).
So yeah, products from Europe, Taiwan, Japan before products from either China or the US.

Quoting: EikeWhen comments get just too sheepish, it's time to block. Time is too valuable for such nonsense.

Like clockwork. As fragile as an old fortune cookie.
Those of weak mind will always opt to create a bubble to pretend everyone agrees with them instead of facing the opposition...

In order to constitute "opposition", wouldn't you have to "oppose", in the sense of taking up and arguing some contrary position? All you've done is make vaguely insulting statements; this hardly constitutes "opposition" in any meaningful sense. Not only is it unclear what your "opposition" would consist of, but it's unclear what exactly you "oppose" in the first place.

Since your ire was apparently aroused by someone saying bad things about uncivil behaviour, my best guess is you're taking a principled stance in favour of people being able to act like assholes without anyone ever mentioning that they've acted like assholes. Not sure quite what the principle is, there.

The problem with this is it will tend to push a person towards trying to multitask, and multitasking is something our brains are fundamentally not good at. We're significantly more efficient doing one thing. So except if you're actually doing one thing and you need to grab stuff from different windows to do it, it's probably better to have your current focus filling the whole screen IMO.

That poster's amazing! It's like a cheap knockoff of things themselves so cheap I wouldn't have believed such a thing possible!

Quoting: scaineMy internet is 130 down, 20 up, and while I could play okay, or my son, if we tried to play at the same time as a fireteam - nope. Bear in mind that my wife is probably on zoom in the next room, and my other son is on youtube on his phone while he plays Minecraft hypixel, AND both my son and I are also on discord for voice... but still. This isn't the future of gaming I'm interested in.

I remember when the World Wide Web was a bunch of pages where you followed random hyperlinks to stuff about the Church of the Subgenius and a page of text took five minutes to load. Now, four people in one home doing more than one multimedia thing in real time each, some of them wireless. Been quite a shift.
