Narp.

I’ll check them out, thank you!

What are some good free indexers? I’ve only heard of paid ones (nzbgeek personally) 🤔

You skipped over the fact that getting vanilla Arch installed is often what trips people up, and also what makes people who run vanilla Arch feel like they accomplished something and truly built something - because they did.

You’re also glossing over the fact that a lot of people run the CachyOS kernel even on vanilla Arch because of the performance gains from having a kernel specifically compiled for instructions your CPU supports.

In other words; I don’t think the convenience of a proper installer, nor even just a 5% gain in performance, is just “marketing”.

Bias disclaimer; I run CachyOS btw

I think part of the reason I don’t care that much about Steam achievements is that they don’t do anything, plus the fact that they can be scammed via 3rd party tools.

I’ve only used said tool once to grant myself the “Paragon level 200” achievement and “Explore Nahantu” achievement in Diablo IV because I earned those on BNet and the unlocks aren’t retroactive.

While I might limit myself from “unlocking” achievements I haven’t earned, there’s nothing stopping someone else from “platting” a game they have played for 20 minutes, other than a lack of profile feed posts for these cheated achievements. As much as I would like Valve to make achievements matter, they can’t be allowed to matter while that tool exists.

I’m gonna give the original image the benefit of the doubt by saying that all I think they intended was to say that using heroin and snorting cocaine from an unsanitary location are both unhealthy activities.

I understand what you’re saying and I think the concept of “war on drugs” and the way pretty much every country in the world handles drug policy is backwards, but I don’t think the original image intended to disparage drug users.

Can you please elaborate on how someone died “because of this” in the context of the rest of your message? I am genuinely curious, because 100% of stories I’ve heard of loss of life involving the concept of transgenderism has been teenagers/young adults committing suicide as a result of having their entire support system taken away overnight because they express themselves differently than their assigned gender at birth.

I would also challenge the concept of anyone “pushing” transgenderism on children, because I have seen exactly 0 evidence for this, but I also understand that “pushing” is a subjective term, not a scientific one.

I’m gonna challenge two parts of your post;

1. Not participating in something does not make someone anti that thing. I don’t play or watch sports, I’m not anti sports. I don’t participate in or watch operas, I’m not anti opera. Etc. Saying “anti-veganism” implies vegans face the same kind of persecution as minorities do.
2. It is not the responsibility of the consumer to fix supply chain issues. You can believe there is no way to “ethically” raise livestock for meat and that’s fine, but what happens at “meat factories” and slaughterhouses is not the responsibility of the buyer any more than you are responsible for the child labour that went into the t-shirt you’re wearing.

Since you were so overly aggressive in your post, I’ll permit myself a tiny snoot of “whataboutism”; do you care the same amount about the clothes you wear? The electronic devices you use? The energy you consume? The non-animal products you consume?

Every. Single. Thing. you as a modern person buy has supply chain issues somewhere, and taking such an aggressive stance on one thing but not the others would make someone a massive hypocrite.

What I’m ultimately saying is this; everyone has their own line in the sand for what makes someone a morally good person. Or rather; what supply chain issues are “acceptable”. For you, that line is clearly the consumption of animal products. For others, it’s different. It may be more extreme than you, making you the same horrible monster in their eyes as meat eaters are in your eyes. Are they wrong? What makes your particular line the One True Line?

Believe me, I understand the fire you feel about this issue because I feel the same way about other issues. I understand that for you, it’s the most obvious and easiest thing in the world to be a vegan. This is not true for everyone, and it does not make them “fucked in the head”.

Do you have a list of groups who do subs like these? Or at least a few group names to look out for, after watching Bleach with subs like these I’ve become spoiled 😂

Go to nyaa.si and search for “bleach v2”, it should be 320 GB adjacent in size and contains all eps, but be warned it uses JP BluRay as the source so filler eps (e.g. Bount arc, entire S09) are in DVD quality.

I’m doing a rewatch before starting TYBW and I replaced the DVD eps with official subs from another source but I’m just skipping them in this rewatch.

Those subs are as good as the old Dattebayo subs, trust.

Because Americans claim they need the second amendment and all its school-shootey downsides in order to protect themselves against a tyrannical government.

Then a tyrannical government appears, and said government also starts executing your citizens in the streets.

Maybe it’s just my leftist bubble of woke protecting me from the truth, but I have heard exactly 0 cases of armed resistance from the people referenced in the first paragraph of this post.

To be honest I think Final Fantasy might be a bad example. FF16 feeling so weird and being so divisive isn’t because it’s AAA slop, it’s because they always experiment with something in each entry.

This time, they experimented with doing a dark, gritty and punishing word that had basically no levity in it. Even your home base had nothing but NPCs either being quietly depressed or LOUDLY depressed, emphasis on the loud. There was nowhere to go where you could take an emotional break from the impending end of the world. Every chapter of the story up until the very final cutscene did nothing but make the world more depressing.

Rebirth proves that they can create a world that feels massive but not empty, that they can create a gritty story without being emotionally oppressive, and that they can create a game that feels like the classics but in the modern age.

I don’t believe the source material is the only reason they made Rebirth as good as it is. Yes, they knew they couldn’t fuck this one up or else it was the end as a relevant company, but if they had truly lost their soul, they wouldn’t have been able to rise to meet that challenge.

In other words; I won’t write off new FF games unless FF16 becomes the template rather than an experiment I personally choose not to replay.

The Dow is over $50,000 - that’s what we should be talking about!

Tbh I don’t mind the Mac look - in fact it’s one of the things that drew me to it as I use macOS for work - and the above complaint is my only real complaint.

I keep posting it wherever it’s relevant in case someone comes out of the woodwork with a solution 😅

I would be much more interested in GNOME if I could replicate my top bar with all extensions on both my monitors. I don’t want to only see the clock on my 2nd monitor.

Used parts will also command a higher price, and also who is selling their old rig if hardly anyone can afford an upgrade?
