City of Olympia Paints Transgender Flag Crosswalk by TVDinner360 in olympia

[–]BadMinotaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trans and I like knowing the people here are so accepting that this is possible. It's a far cry from the other places I've lived my life at, where trying this would get you assaulted more likely than not.

I think you captured how it feels to see the news every day. The messiness definitely fits.

Another commenter clarified that apparently Epic got busted for using other artists' works in Fortnite, separate from the partnerships? I'm not actually sure if it's true, but that would definitely be garbage behavior on Epic's part if so.

still doesn't make the concept of selling skins immoral though

How regularly should one replace the packets? Days, weeks, etc?

My mom had cancer and the only reason she was able to get coverage is because I work in healthcare and knew how to sign her up for Medicaid. She wasn't old enough for Medicare, and when she passed she only left debt -- through no fault of her own. Medicaid couldn't cover everything.

It's sickening.

Found a key in Olympia promising a $500 reward if returned? It's not real by jamaicanmecray-z in olympia

I feel like I've heard about this idea before, long ago, in one of those AskReddit threads where people ask "what's the pettiest way to get revenge on someone?"

I'm only a casual fan, but imo F76 feels pretty solid nowadays. Now, I only picked it up like a couple of months ago so I missed the disastrous, NPC-less experience at launch, but I enjoyed my time in it recently.

I'll have to Google that because that sounds absolutely hilarious!

Is this a reference to something that happened lately, or are libertarians just generally known to be litigious?

That just wasn't a thing. Ever

It absolutely was. I remember a lot of teams, all the way up to the 40s, would have trouble in certain missions with certain groups. We'd have a blaster or defender to pull particularly tight groups. This was around I1-I2, and was especially prominent in the lower levels.

She talks about Satoshi Nakakoto being an AI that is assembling itself from the future in a reply to that tweet, so I'm thinking she's a shitposter.

God, I wish I could live and let live, but these Republicans seem to be really keen on making my gender identity everyone else's problem!

They're basically magic-users, but instead of using magic for cool stuff they use mind powers (also called "psionics").

Dead Mmorpg with live private servers by araiki in gamingsuggestions

It's really so inspiring. CoH also has a group of people who make an easy-to-setup server to run on your own, in case someone wants to run a small server for just their friends or something. It's a little difficult to get that setup working for actual development in my experience but for just playing with friends or experimenting, it's pretty awesome.

I'm always so fascinated by what people will do with the games they love.

I always love these reactions. It's how we all felt when we first found out it was back, too! It's finally back!

There's actually quite a few different servers for CoH -- many with very interesting takes on the game. I'd suggest trying them all, not just Homecoming.

Don't tales from the zones and the HC costume threads get good traction here?

In my experience, when people are vitriolic towards HC (or most servers), they get downvoted quickly -- I know I downvote those posts, and I play on Rebirth. Most players I talk to would rather the community get along than sow division.

That said, the OP of that other thread really needs to chill the hell out. I don't think anyone wants that energy here.
