OC has said that she died in a climbing accident, which makes this more of a PSA than anything else, but sudden happiness (even/especially if it seems geniune) after a long period of depression can be an indicator of suicidality. Generally it's because they've decided to go through with it, so they feel at peace.
That said, being from an accident doesn't make her death any less tragic. I hope her loved ones are making it through okay.
Genuine question: is there a reason why Syncthing's ignore function doesn't work for you? Because that's what I would suggest, but it seems you're already aware of it.
ETA: Maybe Resilio Sync might work for you? It touts selective sync. Since it's based on the BitTorrent protocol, it might also chunk data, but it's worth checking out.
A lot of scene people say they only do it for the "competition and glory" (which they said in here) because none of them really play the games they crack, but obviously it's hypocritical as fuck.
My ex showed me this song and at the time, I hated it. I think the issue was more that I hated my ex, because this song SLAPS.
Also, while I don't think it's necessarily better than the original, I do think Sky Ferreira's cover of it does justice to the original. It's a little more stripped down because it was supposedly just a demo (it was posted on SoundCloud as "VOICES CARRY SCRATCH DEMO"), but I actually like it that way.
I somewhat agree with the sentiment behind the article, but...
And when you actually pick up the controller and play one of them, you begin to feel like you've been through the same gameplay loop as many other games this generation: Tales Of Arise, Scarlet Nexus, Nier Automata, Valkyrie Elysium, YS 8 and 9; they're all essentially the same action game with different spices and aesthetic fluff.
Games like Tales and NieR (both long-running franchises) have never tried to be anything but action RPGs---not to mention NieR, which I'd honestly just call a straight up Platinum action game. I'd actually call NieR closer to Elden Ring than it is to Tales, and yet the author isn't out here calling Elden Ring a JRPG. What more does NieR have in common with Tales or Ys than it does with Elden Ring besides country of origin? Does JRPG mean "game with anime-ish art style"? Maybe it's the art style, but even that's a bit of a stretch to me.
Which I think strikes at the heart of the matter: what defines a JRPG? Is it the country it came from? Obviously not. There's a very specific style of game that "JRPG" refers to, and it's a style that was very popular in the 90s and 00s. Obviously games are still made in that style: I could just as easily show a JRPG renaissance by namedropping Dragon Quest XI, Xenoblade, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Persona 5, all the Trails games, etc. But the author is basing his notions of what a JRPG is solely on trends from 20+ years ago. Trends change. People change. Maybe in 20 years, people will be whining about whatever Japan is putting out then and saying "WHY CAN'T JAPAN GO BACK TO WHAT THEY DID RIGHT AND MAKE ANOTHER TALES GAME LIKE TALES OF ARISE?".
Yes, I think developers, studios, and even industries should take pride in where they've been creatively, and that's where I agree with the author. That said, why can't we let new games be new games? People are still making plenty of traditional JRPGs whether they're made in Japan or not (hi chained echoes and edge of eternity), so why bother the developers who don't wanna make those games and essentially tell them "you need to get over your internalized xenophobia"? It's possible they don't have internalized xenophobia like this article is suggesting, maybe they're just tired of people putting them in a box.
There are a lot of distros to maintain packages for, hence a lot of work to be done. Developing a program is difficult enough, but add on the task of maintaining packages and the work goes up by an order of magnitude. That's why solutions like Snap and Flatpak were created, so packaging could be distro-agnostic.
Feinstein has several VERY important committee positions, including the Judiciary and Intelligence committees. Losing her on those would allow for even MORE Republican shenanigans.
That said, as a Californian, she needs to go YESTERDAY.
Personally my policy is to give them money even if they use it for drugs, as a former addict myself that money will keep them alive physically or mentally, and or both no matter what.
That's definitely what I was thinking: even if they're going to buy drugs, maybe they'll be able to do it safer. I love the idea of harm reduction and am aware of the studies that say how it helps. And congrats on kicking your addiction!
I can read quick and you put it in proper paragraphs so it wasn’t a pain to read.
I tutor English for a living and constantly stress to my students the importance of breaking things into paragraphs. As someone with ADHD, I write the way I'd like to read, so thank you for that comment lol
You just have to talk to them to get to know them. I’ve had many conversations with them on the train and there’s a lot of good people out there who were given a tough break.
I wish I were the kind of person who does that. I'm definitely a big introvert and don't really like talking to people outside of controlled social situations. Honestly, I feel like maybe being that kind of person would make this whole situation easier, but... yeah.
Thank you very much for your perspective, though. It helps.
