Likely answer is just some fucking assholes. There are some real garbage people in gaming communities.

The jokes in BL/BL2 felt like their own unique jokes, contained within the Borderlands universe, because they were. BL3 had a lot of reference humor, which can be fine, but some of the memes they referenced were 3-4 years out of date and the jokes fell flat and made us groan.

The trailer for 4 was promising, and I only realized on a second watch that it contained no jokes, which honestly I appreciated. I think it has potential, as long as Randy Shitford doesn’t do anything to fuck it up.

Or it’ll be cancelled and never see the light of day, just like that other Sims-like from Paradox.

If you haven’t played this one yet, I highly recommend it. Very good visual novel.

You guys stumbled upon Raëlism! A cult that originated in France. I have firsthand experience. I met a “Raelian Guide” at a convention and gave a presentation on his religion. They mention the topless stuff, and they’re also anti-genital mutilation. But they also wish to reclaim the Swastika as a symbol of peace and love.

During this presentation, the guide, in talking about reclaiming the Swastika, "it was traditionally a symbol of peace and love, but you all wouldn’t learn about that in our Jewish controlled education system. " (Word for word what he said in front of 100~ people)

They’re, uhh, Nazis.

My least favorite app from my least favorite corporation. I have to use Visio every day for work, and it’s a clumsy, buggy mess. You’d think a bajillion dollar company like Microsoft could put out a decent program. You’d think.

I’ve been playing since the last round of beta invites, and I love it. Everything’s pretty intuitive so far, and I find myself moving around more to give me those steps. Can’t wait to see what comes next!!

I wish I could do this in real life. I’ve seen two in my city and they’re visually arresting.

This is the real deal…

Basically, yeah. If your game is in a playable state, launching in early access allows devs to get feedback from the community, who help shape the game all the way to the full release. Generally EA games are discounted, with the expectation that it isn’t finished or polished, full of bugs, etc.

I’ve got to +1 to Bazzite. I had tons of issues with Debian and its derivatives, but Bazzite works flawlessly out of the box. I use an AMD GPU but it has out-of-box support for Nvidia, I hear.

Sorry this isn’t an answer to your problem. I had similar issues when toying with Debian and Linux Mint on my laptop (Nvidia GPU). Ultimately I gave up and put EndeavourOS on it, which worked perfectly as well.

Cool survey. Hope you get the desired number of participants.

What are some alternatives? I’ve heard Tidal is one of the better ones. I’m not necessarily opposed to piracy/ripping my CD collection + self-hosted streaming, but if I can pay someone else for the convenience I’d rather do that.

Do any services have a comparable family plan too?

Metallica spearheaded the movement against the music sharing platform Napster back in the day. Lars Ulrich in general was a big opponent of music piracy. (Although, apparently he has since chilled out a bit).

He’s also just not a good drummer.

I guess he’s not that bad, all things considered. Just don’t like the guy.

Hell, I wish my downloads took money directly from him. He sucks.

Got any tips or tidbits for Nobara? I’m heavily considering installing it onto my new PC when I build it in a week. I’m a noob at Linux but it seemed perfect for everything I’m looking to do on my PC.
