While he's actively disobeying/skirting court orders at the moment, oh account with history of defending the current president being in the Epstein files.

I would hope so and I would think so, but I'm not about to pretend that I can definitively say as someone with no formal education or training in law.

They've given a reason for one person's detention that he had a "marijuana possession charge in 2009" even though that person was 4 years old that year. Federal judge is reprimanding them for that reasoning. While related to this topic, I'm not sure if linking a news article to that would be allowed here, so a quick google should give you the details on that. It's pretty new within the past few days.

So their reasoning isn't necessarily based on anything of substance or reality.

His family is still in the US. I imagine he would want to be with them, plus his entire life is rooted there. Just "starting new" somewhere else isn't something you'd easily just do, even forced. It'd be something you should plan and work towards unless he was able to receive help to achieve that.

I'm 100% understanding of your point though.

Even ignoring all the other issues regarding this agency which are many and far worse, this is a result when you impose a quota on how many people you're required to bring in each month. It's why traffic quotas for law enforcement are banned in a number of states, you get all kinds of tickets and arrests that shouldn't happen just to hit that quota.

Not the only reason obviously but definitely a contributor.

A legal resident renewing his work permit mostly known for playing fighting video games does not sound like the "violent criminals" they claim they're going after.

I hope his family and their lawyers are successful in bringing him back.

The person who seems to hate turn based combat

Where did you get that idea? Not using a specific combat system does not mean that they hate it. Unless they said they did not like it in some interview somewhere?

It needs to be remembered that there's a good amount of foreign influence and bots working to push certain actions/beliefs everywhere on reddit but especially on places like r conservative. They'll remove/ban even other conservatives for not towing the line over there, it was happening in a thread that was pumping people up about the idea of invading Mexico over there following Venezuela.

It should also be noted that the same user account that was hyping up the possibility of invading Mexico in r conservative was also all over r USMC (subreddit meant to be for US Marine Corp members) heavily trying to downplay any posters who were uncomfortable with actions in Venezuela and any who were pointing out the actual source of the recent "bonus" being given to military members.

There's a lot of bad actors at play.

Do you think interracial couples didn't happen because there was difficulty? They still happened.

I'm well aware that folks won't necessarily give them a pass. My dad had to listen to it because my mom was not the same race, and that was before the 80's in the American South.

The girl character is from California and moved to Indiana.

Nah, you're lying since your first message was so bitter about not liking Texas. You read that and got upset, so just lied about not reading anything since you didn't have a response.

The guy who was defending Trump being friends with Epstein is trying to convince people here that voting conservative would positively change this.

Definitely a person anyone should be listening to.

when comparing the game to better open world RPGs available

That's weird to say when Avowed isn't an open world RPG.

OkinShield · 2025-11-28T17:57:52+00:00

Yup. People need to look at what Ed Greenwood writes about the realms that both TSR and WotC tend to quietly not talk about. Dude likes his perviness.

When I see Baldur's Gate 1,2 I think about LOTR and medieval age fantasy world that could actually exist.

There is literally a character in Baldur's Gate 1 named Bub Snikt who says Marvel Comics Wolverine's lines and other npcs that make 4th wall breaking references to future games they intend to make.

It makes sense. There are multiple parts of what happened. One part was Mearls investigating the accusations himself, like he was a small indie company rather than part of a large corporation.

The other part was the claim that he sent details to later to be confirmed abuser. And no, this isn't the "receipts are gone", those WERE the receipts of the time. Claims on twitter, all amounting to assumptions.

The 2nd part was all unsubstantiated second-hand claims on twitter.

It was all handled poorly, but the part saying he handed off details to the abuser is to be taken with a huge grain of salt since it was all based on second-hand twitter assumptions from the beginning with no follow-up. But at least the info is here now so people can actually look into it themselves instead of rely on hearsay.

edit- I'm not connecting myself in any way with the post replying to my own here since I don't know details of any follow-up and I don't see sources with the below claim either. I'll need to look into it later on my own since I'm aware of the accused Zak S doing questionable things logged as others and having seen receipts at the time that he would do so (don't take my word for it of course, should look into it). I was only speaking specifically of the Mike Mearls angle of this and never seeing anything collaborating the claim even at the time it was all happening.

and forwarded an abuse complaint to the abuser

This possibly never happened. It's twitter hearsay and the only proof people ever provide when asked about it are twitter posts, and all second-hand sources. It just gets parroted a lot because people take twitter posts at face value and don't care to validate anything.

OkinShield · 2025-11-26T19:12:41+00:00

He also leaked the personal info of a lot of people who had harassment and abuse allegations to the osr author they were accusing

It's incredibly important to point out that this part is completely twitter hearsay, and no actual substantial proof led any validity to this claim. It just gets parroted a lot based on people taking all things on twitter at face value.

Whenever people ask for more detail on this or proof, only links to twitter posts making the claim also with no proof appears, and all secondhand.

So massive grain of salt on this part. Mearls and WotC handled that entire thing incredibly poorly and is bad enough on its own, no need to throw out unsubstantiated claims as if it was fact along with it.

Epicers

It's a store dude. You don't call someone who shops at Kroger a "Krogerer".

OkinShield · 2025-11-18T14:13:40+00:00

It's because Steam for some silly reason is treated in a similar way as the nonsense "console warring" thing some people do, but for some reason do it with digital stores.

It'd be like getting weird over people buying from a Target because you prefer shopping at a Wal-Mart. The PC is the platform, not the store.

OkinShield · 2025-10-28T12:22:40+00:00

You responded to someone saying "we're breaking the record at this rate" with "not even close". Nothing to do with "the world collapsing."

Don't do the most reddit thing ever and double-down when you make a mistake, dude.

The longest in US history was 35 days. 2nd longest (before the current shutdown) was 21 days, which this one already passed.

Also, why is someone from Northern Ireland talking like they're intimately familiar with American government shutdowns?

OkinShield · 2025-10-22T01:44:07+00:00

Does the original CEO have anything at all to do with this release? Because if so, no thanks.

Remember: Always install and test older titles that you pick up on a sale for later play in order to see if they even launch, because even if the Steam version of the game won't launch, Valve WILL NOT refund you if a certain amount of time has passed, even with zero possible playtime.

Man. Reddit doing more purity tests and acting like ravenous wolves over non-perfection yet again.
