I'm not the one "thinking in absolutes". The user you're defending literally said it doesn't matter what American's do - everyone will be considered the same.
In the future we’re all going to look like the bad guys, whether we fought back or not.
Actual quote from them. But I'm the one you're calling a child. Buzz off.
Jeez. What does this even improve? Why does it matter if it's "low use", or even "no use"? It was already implemented. The only thing the achieves is denying functionality to users. What a fucking crock.
Nobody said "most Germans". They said "all", which is not only untrue, it's a malignment of those who did resist and serves to discourage future resistance, which is entirely unhelpful. If that's truely where the US is headed, the last thing people need to hear is, "Everyone will think you're a piece of shit no matter what you do."
As I remember, the liquification was more so part of the curse than the trials. The immense pain and risk of death is true either way, though.
And I don't see any conflict with Ciri here. That would be her continuing to fight to make her own life, no? The destiny she's running from isn't about her being a witcher. More so the opposite, as I understand it.
Regarding the potions, I haven't read the books, but the wiki alludes to "Children of Destiny" not needing the trials, of which Ciri is part of. Even if that's not it, I don't think a grown woman choosing to undergo the trials is comparable to forcing it on a child. Pretty badass, tbh.
Again - not an option for the majority of people. Not only does that require significant amounts of money, it also assumes the place you're going is accessible (eg open borders, etc) You're advocating from a position of privilege and/or ignorance of you think "just leave" is a reasonable suggestion.
If you don't have a separate device to steam link with your deck, I'd recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard. Even if you do, the keyboard would be handy if you're out. It really helps with navigating the desktop mode when you need to mess with that side of it.
It's as much related to gambling as Balatro is.
