  • Fiction has utterly failed to predict how stupid reality has become.

    How many stories have we seen where a billionaire ceo becomes president? In fiction, they were always handsome, charming, highly intelligent, so on and so forth. Reality though, oooof.

  • If you're looking for a label, I recommend not. Soon after you pick one, the definition for that label will change and no longer fit your ideology. This change might be due to your own understanding improving, or due to societal shifts, or both.

    Write out your ideology in long form. People tend to support good ideas when not attached to politically charged labels.

  • The post is about anticheat that doesn't work on linux. Non-kernel-level anticheat works fine now thanks to wine/proton. That just leaves kernel-level anticheat. If a game has kernel-level anticheat, the studio is not going to remove it for the sake of a linux version. Therefore, to be compatible with linux, they would be introducing kernel-level anticheat into a linux version. To this, I say "fuck no".

  • As someone who kinda liked morrowind, and was disappointed with oblivion, skyrim just fell flat for me. The engine got better, but there just was less and less substance to it each game. Ignoring the content, just the base mechanics were stripped down to almost nothing.

    I've got a friend who is experiencing oblivion for the first time after years and hundreds of hours of skyrim. They're becoming increasingly upset at skyrim the more they learn about what was in oblivion but was removed.

  • The important part is that it is her choice to do so or not. My suggestion is just one possible solution that could be used by those who choose to do so. I'm not pretending that it's the only solution, nor am I pretending that it's even the best solution.

  • If a woman is committed to the idea, she could break the patrilineal naming convention simply by creating herself a new last name, and encouraging her children to take that name instead of their father's.

  • in my friend group we have a guy we describe as "default {name}", in order to differentiate him from the other {name}s in the group. He's a cisgender heterosexual white christian male (a rarity among us). Mostly it's a joke, because we all agree that being mildly offensive is kinda funny, but it's also a commentary on society at large. If you're online talking to people you know nothing about, it's a safe assumption (christian less and less as the years go by though).

    It is absolutely ok to not be "default settings". You're not doing anything wrong by not confirming to that standard. I didn't decide what default is, I learned it by observing society.

  • The amount of effort for such imperceptible improvements is insane.

    Also insane is how shit modern games run without multi thousand dollar hardware, even if you turn down settings, but then it also looks like ass in addition to running like shit.
