It’s not silly to correct, someone not being in the room right now doesn’t mean it’s suddenly okay to use the wrong pronouns for that person, even if they’re a shitty person it’s still not a good thing to do

Haven’t been playing a whole lot of games lately because sick, but been slowly getting through Yars Rising because it happens to fall exactly within my interests, I feel like the exact target for it lol
It’s a Metroidvania from WayForward whose platforming and shooting is like Mega Man, with loads of hacking minigames that are literally Yars’ Revenge (you know, the old Atari game), playing as a cute girl with funny friends in this Japanese-inspired cyberpunk city full of Atari references (the idea is hilarious I love it) as you investigate a tech company’s shady secret
The soundtrack is a 10/10 and the girl you play as is currently one of my top fictional crushes lol, she talks too much and I never want her to shut up ❤️
It’s such a weird combination of stuff though, and it didn’t exactly get much marketing and was probably relatively low budget, so I get why it’s so overlooked currently despite being a WayForward game, especially with the genre getting so many games lately (probably not helped by Ubisoft putting out a huge budget Prince of Persia one a month earlier)
Also, I’m glad the Switch 2 is finally announced, even Nintendo games often run like total ass on the current one, hopefully this one’s size and being more round will make it at least slightly more comfortable, and hoping Switch 1 games will run more stable on it (even if target resolution/framerate stay the same without patches, I’d like games to at least keep a consistent 30)
Glad we’re finally getting a new Mario Kart too for the first time in 11 years lmao
Agree with all of this, I also have to add that the only reason Elliott and Gretchen were his “former” business partners was because Walt chose to leave the company, purely because he chose to break up with Gretchen over feeling inferior because of her family’s wealth. He made some of the worst decisions of his life because he couldn’t take the hit to his own pride (which, given how he would later go on to treat Skyler, was clearly backed by misogyny), and would blame everyone but himself from that point onward
Honestly, I think that stuff makes it clear that the underlying factors that led him to becoming “Heisenberg” were there loooong before the series started, and it’s not hard to see how the pieces fit together with the early seasons, and with that in mind I find the last season to be a pretty logical conclusion for where the story was headed
His actual behavior didn’t change, he just stopped hiding it and started being honest with himself, and it was very clear that things were heading this way in the previous seasons
…And to be honest? If someone could watch Walt attempt to rape Skyler literally at the start of season 2 and still see him as a sympathetic character to root for all the way up to season 5, then alarm bells just start ringing in my head 😅 Not accusing OP of anything, for some reason it seems to be an often forgotten about scene, but he was never anything more than a pathetic, despicable man
Not to mention Walt trying to force himself on the school principal near the start of season 3
Two things to say here, one, the “trains ran on time” line was for Fascist Italy, not Nazi Germany, and two, it was never anything more than propaganda made to make people think that the fascist regime was efficient, when in reality it was quite the opposite, it was horribly corrupt and disorganized
The way that “at least Mussolini made the trains run on time” is still treated as fact by so many people isn’t proof that terrible people do some things right, it’s proof that too many people still fall for literal fascist propaganda
But I suppose it’s fitting, because “Trump is going to take out the cartels!!” is also little more than propaganda to support a US invasion of Mexico
Sweet, we got our new Navy SEALs copypasta updated for 2025! We’re all trembling because of your badassery I’m sure 🤣
I play some Magic, mainly just Commander because a local game store has free Commander nights every Thursday and everyone there is fine with proxies, I do miss competitive 1v1 formats but shit’s waaay too expensive
I did meet someone there who does cube draft, but that doesn’t happen often
I’d like to play more KeyForge (I picked up a cheap box of Age of Ascension online last month), but locally it’s completely nonexistent, and I don’t really have friends outside of those Commander nights to play games casually with, also I’m not a huge fan of playing card games online
I’d also like to try some kind of tabletop RPG sometime since I’ve never played them, but that would require having a group of friends I’m comfortable with who would also want to do so, and that’s a no-go right now
Nah what they actually have in common is that a lot of people treat Magic cards like stocks 😅
So far, it’s been better than Twitter for sure, and more functional especially
I mean I’m mainly using it to follow artists though, your use case may be different
Is it really EEE though? There isn’t the “extend” part if they’re not extending ActivityPub, it’s just a competitor at that point, unlike Threads which was actually trying to be ActivityPub compatible (and everyone immediately saw right through it)
That person has given me awful reactionary vibes for ages so I’m glad to see them banned, though I didn’t know it was actually that bad since I can only really see the stuff that’s not removed of course
But yeah, they always gave me the sense of “this person wants to be communist but not actually change their behavior” and seemed like the kind of person to try to find the “right reasons” to hate on something that’s already getting shit for being “woke”
I think EndeavourOS (or anything based on Arch Linux) isn’t a great distro to start with for a beginner, experienced users like to pretend that it’s totally easy but it’s really not, it generally relies more on the terminal and manual configuration than other easier distros
I agree with that other comment in this thread saying that a different distro would be a lot easier to learn, and I also agree with them about Fedora Kinoite being easy to understand as a new user (the distro I use is a variant of it), though I also understand that a lot of people here aren’t fond of Fedora due to their connection to Red Hat, and Fedora’s Atomic variants like that have some quirks that make them different from most other distros
I also agree that XFCE isn’t a great choice of desktop environment, a big part of it being “lightweight” is because it lacks a lot of useful features that other DEs have, and if your PC can handle current Windows then you most likely will be fine with “heavier” DEs like KDE Plasma or GNOME, they still generally run better than Windows these days
I’d recommend trying KDE Plasma (Fedora Kinoite comes with it, but you can get it on most other distros too), it’s very flexible but still pretty easy to use, its UI scaling works better than in any other DE I’ve seen, and it also has color blindness filters if that’s what you mean by color filter (and if you mean blue light filter, it has that too)
Awesome news
Edit: They got banned from Hexbear too
Their response on another post is pretty incoherent, I’ve never heard someone mean this when they say they’re against “woke”
All the while, they claim it’s Russia that’s engaging in “human waves” tactics
It looks like they’re also doing the same thing with an alt on Hexbear (they posted the same Daily Mail articles to their politics community which looks to be against that community’s “don’t directly link reactionary sites” rule lol), which I think is another red flag
I agree that it’s really suspicious at best, I have no idea what purpose this community could serve other than for spreading that kind of nonsense, especially considering the brand new account that created it is clearly a reactionary of some variety
I think it’s a pretty huge red flag though that it’s a brand new “transracial woke-free” account that immediately creates this community and starts using it to link fascist rags and nothing else

In the same boat, I’m stick here even though I’m miserable here, suburbia is awful on so many levels
I’d like to move to a city some day because I like cities but I’m not sure if I’d ever be able to afford to move away from here
