Thank you for the reply. I was worried about the shifting. I’ll keep my eye on any other news that comes out with them. Sigh…

Thank you for your reply. It does make me feel a little better. I’ll keep an eye out in case they continue to shift towards enshittification I suppose…

I love Bitwarden… I read the article, but is this something I need to feel concerned about? I also just started using their Authenticator app a few months ago, so this had a given me a pit in my stomach. What should I do?

They only care until you’re born, then you can go and die in a ditch somewhere.

I am almost certain at this point that most if not all of those comments you see under the YouTube video are just troll farms from Russia, China, and North Korea.

Watched it earlier today and I’m happy to say she kept him in line by repeatedly shutting down his slimy tactics of “ask question, don’t wait for her to answer, something something Biden/Harris plan, ask next question before she can answer even the first one”.

She literally said on camera, “You aren’t even letting me answer the question” to which he eventually did finally shut the fuck up, but while still trying to “gotcha” her the whole time.

He eventually went as far as showing a clip of Trump denying his poisonous rhetoric of wanting to use the USA military on its own citizens, to which she replied “the clip you just played was not the clip of him saying his nasty rhetoric, you and I both know that”.

Kick their fucking teeth in this election, everyone!

Now that is some dedication! I did the human path before, but I might go elf this time around!

It came out awhile ago, so I’m sure it did age badly. Luckily there are mods that can soften the rougher edges for us to still get as much enjoyment as we can!

By…? Giving kids free meals, accepting the trans community and fighting for women’s rights?

She did answer it. Did you watch it or…?

As in, every presidency that isn’t two term is a new presidency. Meaning she will bring her own experiences, thoughts, and plans to the table. Just because she agrees with Biden on things does not mean his plans will override her own decisions.

He wasn't even working when he was there the first time! He spent more tax money than any other president on golfing most of his term. Oh, and even "better" he golfed at his own resort using our tax dollars.

Gotta hoover up all that typing data, am I right?

😒

What a fantastic RPG game back in the day. I had an absolute blast playing that game, and now I kind of want to refresh myself on it thanks to your comment. I'm sure my way of viewing things has changed, and there are some choices in there that I will definitely do differently.

Unfortunately, the stock one will be the only one with even a sliver of privacy preserving measures (so far). I tried Swiftkey when it first got released on iOS, and not only did it just not feel right like the stock one, it was also bought by Microsoft at that point and I hadn't known since the last time I was on Android, they did not own it. :/

If you do find one though, let me know! I love trying out new things!

What a sad little group. Lmfao

Small talk is a skill that you must work on to get better at, which then makes it easier for you to be more talkative about your own passions. I used to be a quiet person who didn't like talking, especially small talk, but as I got older I realized life is way too short to hold myself back on forming connections, however minute they may be, and to share passions or experiences with others that may give me some ideas to further get the most of my own life simply by hearing how much fun or how cool this certain thing was. You can enrich yourself by others experiences.

I understand needing to protect your IP, in some sense, but what I'm getting at is that when a fan game is made, it is a homage to a beloved franchise that fosters love for the IP. If you were a smart company, you would foster this love for your franchise, to entrench the fans you already have, and to gather more fans because you are seen as the company that "does no wrong", which in turn also increases your profits. Imagine if instead of taking these love letters to your franchise down (which makes you look like an absolute fucking ass to most), you made a feature of it on an official channel. Look at Scott Cawthon and his Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. He encourages people to make fan games using his original ideas and that encourages people to not only love his own games, but to go out and start developing their own little games that include ideas that Scott may not have even thought about including before. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is a good way of protecting your IP by taking down blatant rip offs of your game that want to steal money from your fans, and cause confusion to new fans. Then there is the bad way, which is taking down these passionate love letters to your franchise that encourage others to look at the original source and see why they even decided to take the time to create the fan game in the first place. IF the fan game is trying to monetize, then by all means, send a warning. Tell them to not monetize it, and they are free to continue. If they continue, Cease and Desist. Hopefully that makes sense.

I, for one, absolutely LOVE it when people talk about things that excite them. I ask questions because I want to see them get even more excited or passionate. I would honestly be hurt by someone like the OP, only pretending to be interested, because then with no follow up questions or anything, I would assume the conversation is going nowhere and would probably stop even trying to interact with them.

I'm the same. I play retro and indie titles on the Deck, and more modern and demanding games on the desktop.

Oh! I remember watching someone play this game called The Voidness.

I love the idea of the scanner mapping the completely dark areas!
