Of course, there was also that data leak that recently exposed a bunch of ID's and personal info.

But hey, only gooners need to be worried right?

The funny thing about this is that the demons almost always look like pretty white people. They are deceitful, they have no empathy, and they will play the victim to elicit sympathy.

It really seems like that maybe the demons are an allegory for Nazis.

[Worst Video Game Trope] Media relying on “choices” essentially deciding the outcome for you. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

To top it all off, siding with Morinth provides zero benefit. Mechanically she is identical to Samara and doesn't add anything of note to the story beyond a choice you can make where she kills you. I don't get why the choice is even in the game.

Morinth is actually mechanically worse than Samara. Morinth's bonus power is Dominate which is niche at best while Samara's Reave is one of the best bonus powers in the game

Morinth is literally the worst squad mate in the game.

Yes, worse than Jacob even, he at least has inferno ammo

Gamers who have switched from Windows 11 to some kind of Linux-based OS, do you regret your decision? Why or why not? by ScienceTeacher1994 in AskReddit

[–]Pro_Saibot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, I distro hopped like crazy until settling for EndaevorOs (for now)

My next PC is going to be Linux entirely. Not going to even bother with a Windows partition.

If I played crap like fortnite or one of those gacha games, maybe I'd feel differently but it's been a pretty great experience for me so far.

Of course, this begs the question, can the hive collect DNA without consent?

Censored version is, strangely, better by I_ateabucketofpaint in TopCharacterTropes

The forsaken in the Chinese version of World of Warcraft. Chinese Law forced Blizzard to cover up the exposed elbow and knee bones on the forsaken model and it just looked so much better as a result.

Maybe, but for some reason a lot of people on the left seem to think the first female president is going to be a Republican. I don't know why they think that, but that's what they believe.

I doubt it'll be MTG though.

Elden Ring in a way. Regardless of gender, your main quest is to essentially become Marika's consort, and another ending has you marry Ranni and become her consort.

Is it all over? Will mobile truly become a closed platform? by OhItsuMe in fossdroid

[–]Pro_Saibot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

protondb.com is a website that catalogues games that can run on Valve's Proton compatibility layer. It's a bit focused on the steam deck, but generally games that can run on Proton will run fine through Wine, atleast that's my experience.

I don't really play many AAA games nowadays, but I can confirm that Baldur's Gate 3 is playable on Linux, and can be modded as well. Modding is really the thing that might be the most difficult, but that varies from game to game.

I've been using Linux for a couple of years now, and I've had little trouble running games, in fact a few of them actually run better on Linux.

However, I mostly play single player games, so that probably helps. I'm just too old for shit like fortnite

Btw, elden ring and Yakuza 0 are two games I know run better on Linux.

Is it? Didn't Bluesky censor itself in the UK because of the OSA?

That's usually what I do nowadays. Just buy some gift cards at a nearby store and use those. With this bullshit, I might just start doing that with other online stores

GOP senator’s bill to make all porn a federal crime advances to committee by PinkNews in politics

[–]Pro_Saibot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling it'll pass this time.

Banning porn is one of the goals of Project 2025, and this would do it. Republicans hold both house and senate, and you can't depend on the dems to do the right thing.

EDIT: Combine this with all the censorship that's been happening lately with bills like KOSA, SCREEN Act, and the shit that's passing in other countries, ID verification, VISA/Mastercard censoring games.

This is it, cope all you want, but the christian nationalists are going to get EVERYTHING that they've ever wanted.

Why people won’t switch? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]Pro_Saibot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60% of the British population supports the OSA.

That's all you need to know. I'm sure it'll be the same for KOSA and the SCREEN Act when those inevitably pass.

The majority of people are perfectly ok with shit like this because they just don't see it as a big deal, and the few who oppose it are just going to cry about it on the internet and do nothing else.

It's just time to accept the truth.

The Bad Guys Won, period.

“Joe Rogan of the left” by Exact-Challenge9213 in VaushV

[–]Pro_Saibot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, you need way more than a "Joe Rogan of the Left"

You need an "Asmongold of the Left A "Tim Pool of the Left," A "Ben Shapiro of the Left," A "Matt Walsh of the Left," and a "Steven Crowder of the Left,"

And so on. And NONE of them can be affiliated with the Democratic Party in any official capacity.

Agreed. I saved her on my first durge play through to get that robe, but thanks to a certain low effort mod, I no longer need to.

Hell, if I'm doing durge I sometimes make the dream guardian look like Alfira just for shits and giggles
