Everytime I see a new DLC for PoE2 it reminds me I never did a second playthrough of the first, nor started with The White March and that I have this same game waiting for me on the HDD... Then I start Everspace and I forget about it altogether xD

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" ~ Sir William Blackstone
Off Topic: If by letting escape ten guilty persons another ten innocents suffer...
That is a dangerous line of thinking. So people should suffer because of potential crimes?
Of course not! What I was trying to say is that the original sentence isn't as simple/easy as Blackstone put it. It a much more complex topic than to summarise it in a phrase.

I just wish my English was broad enough to have a better selection of words and enter the discussion with everyone. However, I can see how some users deliberately use "these people", "SJW", "mediocre" and all sorts of expressions to put down whoever is against them. The assumption that someone is worse than the average, just from their background/gender/etc is quite sickening really. I believe the CoC is in place exactly for that; so everyone starts from the same level regardless who they are. If meritocracy was a thing in Linux kernel development, now it will be the same but with more candidates. By the way, meritocracy is a good thing only when everyone has the same opportunities.

Some people have claimed CoC is a document to seize power, and that this will happen soon for sure, warning us all of a foreseeable doomed future to the community. It seems to me that fear is speaking. But of what? That I don't know.

Quoting: ArehandoroLet me tell you something, I landed on Linux because it was political all along. And I like it this way.
"Linux" was never political even about software freedom, that was the FSF's shtick.
And well done.

Quoting: liamdaweHappy for people to discuss such stuff, but please do remember GOL is a sanctuary for everyone to be involved. I don't want to see any hateful speech directed at any groups here please, no stupid snide remarks either about gender or anything.
That comment sounds like a CoC to me :P

P.S: I agree with your comment, just trying to lower down the tension.

Quoting: scainelike every CoC out there, to ensure that you get plenty of opportunity to change your ways. To encourage you to be respectful.
At the risk of sounding contrarian, I would rather be in a place where people can be disrespectful yet honest with each other and with themselves than in a place which polices what they can say. Even if it is uncomfortable. Although I understand why such an atmosphere wouldn't be for everyone.
I wonder what kind of disrespect does someone need to express to a kernel patcher/maintainer/whatever aside of their coding capabilities?

All these years thinking the Linux community was highly composed by a bunch of tech-o-hippiepunks only to realise in the last weeks I was wrong...

but it would be interesting how the vulkan port can compete with it

i hope it is YAKUZA. i think ZERO and KIWAMI are very similar to port, so they would have 2 games
I'd love to see some of the recent remakes SEGA has published on Steam. Yakuza or Shenmue would be outstanding additions to our catalogue.

Quoting: riusmaSeagulls are maybe for the band A Flock of Seagulls (always a song in the clues)? :whistle:
In their song "I Ran" there is a mention of Aurora (Aurora borealis). There could be a connection.
