Hahaha, don’t underestimate jank ass vendor systems. My workplace has at least one business critical thing using SOAP. We’ve been spinning our wheels on deprecating the damn thing for three years.

For most people, through professional help. You aren’t SOL, and you could get there yourself, but it will be far easier with assistance from medical and psychological professionals that are trained to help guide you in ways that aren’t just you struggling on your own or beating yourself up internally.

I’ve skimmed your other posts and you need more than well meaning strangers on the internet will be able to give you. You may also want to look into potential legal action against the institution you say you were stuck in, as none of what you described sounds like standard practice of care for the autism misdiagnosis you said put you in there.

In the comment I initially responded to, you made a specific point of calling out

I just write off the forums for any game that features a black or female main character, let alone LGBT representation.

As if it was only shit in those cases. There’s no need to call that out specifically if you’re trying to make the point that they’re all shit on Steam (which we’re in agreement on).

Usually a statement like that implies the inverse, in this case that you don’t write off the discussion forums for games that don’t fit that criteria. Hence my confusion and my call out that the Steam discussion forums have always been shit.

I agree that it’s for the reason you called out here, that Steam just relies on the devs to moderate their own discussion forums. At the very least, they should default to not creating them unless the dev specifically opts in.

The whole OK symbol thing was literally a false flag by 4chan to clown on the news media’s fervor at the time to label things as racist dog whistles, specifically the whole Pepe shit that was going on.

The fucking thread that started it was (paraphrasing): “Hey guys, do you think the news media would be stupid enough to believe the OK hand sign is a white power dog whistle? [Image of WP poorly traced over the OK hand symbol]”

Obviously, if you get your kicks out of pretending to be a fool, you shouldn’t be surprised when you find yourself in the presence of actual fools. That also very much applies to the type of edgelords on 4chan that thought it would be funny to “pretend to be” racists, or at least to have discovered a racist hate symbol. Eventually enough people will take it seriously that the original “joke” (if you can even call it that) will be lost.

So… you seriously look at the steam forums as good place for discussion otherwise?

They’ve almost always been shit, besides the occasional troubleshooting thread.

Unfortunately that just pops up a notification on the screen of the person sharing their screen, letting them know you asked for control and giving an approve or deny option.

Far more boring than the name would imply.

The fuck you mean, mossy?

Oh buddy… that’s the new, less horrifying shock content.

Lets just say that glass jars are not appropriate anal toys, there’s a reason why glass sex toys are solid, and that some people have terrifying amounts of pain tolerance.

And this poster is an incredibly un-subtle recreation of the first frames of that horror. At least they added pants. And a lid.

she actually likes him, money was the main reason but it wasn’t the only reason

You kind of buried the lede here by not including this info in the main post.

Sounds like your daughter is just being honest. Honest, open communication is important for a successful relationship. There’s all sorts of reasons for sparking the initial interest/attraction, but what is important is that the relationship has more bones than the initial spark, which it sounds like it probably does.

My wife caught my eye because she literally caught my eye. That doesn’t mean I’m only with her for her looks just because that was the initial reason for my interest.

As others have said, the main concern here is that she needs to ensure that she has her own financial security separate from him so she is not trapped or up shit creek if his finances go away for any reason.

Beyond that, the age difference can affect power dynamics and expectations within the relationship. That’s less your business, more between her and him. It takes a lot of open discussion and willingness to compromise and work with each other.

My wife is somewhere around 15 years older than me. We started dating when I was past college but younger than 25. Just barely within the half plus seven window. We have differing opinions on acceptable levels of cleanliness/organization, and how household chores are to be split up. It also doesn’t help that I didn’t have nearly as long of a time living on my own before moving in with her. But with a lot of discussion and patience on both sides we make it work.

Apparently the match was also delayed due to some medical issue Tyson had recently where he was seen coughing up blood during a plane flight.

And I’ve heard that his knee was in a brace pre-fight.

Outside of the original Metal Gear 1 and 2, I’m not sure what other notable games are on the MSX. That said, more cores are never a bad thing. I just wish the price for the Analogue Pocket would come down.

Is it islamophobic to point out that their holy prophet had a bride that is widely believed to have been between six and nine years old when they married, and to have been nine years old when the marriage was consumated?

I get that isn’t explicitly encouraging it, but I’ve never heard of any context that in any way justifies their prophet having sex with a nine year old (not that any possibly could).

Most people on Lemmy prefer Mastodon, as it’s not run by a corporation, and is federated like Lemmy. It’s also built off the same underlying protocol, meaning it’s interoperable with lemmy.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It’s the first time I’ve seen this claim and would like to know more.

I’ve seen someone suggest wildmagic wands for a one shot.

Just because something can swim doesn’t make it a fish.

Since OP was too lazy to take the 5 seconds to crop:

Again. They rebranded for these remasters already, lol.

There’s a decent amount of evidence that they weren’t given the time they needed by Rockstar, that they intentionally shipped it out with a shit ton of behind the scenes files in an attempt to assist modders (at the very least it was shoved out the door so fast they didn’t have time to clean the files out of the release directory, holy shit), and members of the studio have repeatedly and consistently reported that they were not permitted by Rockstar to release many bug fixes after the remasters released.

Rockstar holds the biggest blame for this one.

You should definitely check out the original Monkey Island games when you have a chance! 1 and 2 got well done remasters, and 3 onward don’t really need any remastering.
