For those with Roku TVs or any of their products, I found that a PiHole blocks the ads on the home screen so far. Hoping I could pick up an ONN box in the future so I can just not deal with this shit lol.

Except they haven’t? Pretty sure both Zero and LAD at the very least didn’t charge for NG+, same with 6. No idea about the Judgement games.

Notice the wording: “racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint”

So if rainbow flags were somehow part of, say, religious iconography… would it be okay in that context?

If you think porn and sexuality being normalized is a bad thing, you should reaaaaaaally think hard on your beliefs for a minute.

Sure, there’s the objectification of both men and women that pornography produces - that is a bad thing, but that’s not solely form porn either. Marketing ads love to objectify people (especially women) for an extra buck or two, and those are practically shoved in our faces openly every single day. Social media is basically just a gallery of this shit too if you’re just looking at whatever garbage the platform feeds you based on trends and what not.

Porn itself isn’t bad, and sexuality is arguably as important as both intellectual and emotional depth are because we’re humans and we have that primal part of our brains still. Yet in the US, for example, both of those things are worse than, say, a violent film. To me, that is the messed up part here.

Pretty sure that’s because of her backstory. Iirc those same lines should be the same as if she were a Cleric except with a “Cleric of Shar” tag.

Never forget the time Bethesda went after Notch for the word “scroll” being used for another one of Notch’s games.

Oh, you should totally check out XCOM: Enemy Within and XCOM 2 if you found these games interesting.

The main gameplay for the tactical level is the same as Mario + Rabbids; it’s turn-based (you take your turn with your entire squad, then the enemy takes their turn) and you control up to a squad of 6 ~~panic-prone rookies~~ soldiers who have to complete an objective of some sort, usually killing all the aliens on the map. Each soldier can get a different class and choose different abilities as they level up within those classes, so you can sort-of tailor each soldier’s stats with the abilities they’d work best with. The major difference with XCOM is there’s also a strategic layer to it; non-fighting stuff, like managing each country’s panic level, building your base, and researching technology to get more upgrades for your weapons, armor, and fighter jets. Super fun strategy game if you’re into the genre.

Ackshually, it’s the complement - 45% is the main collection of the set of US voters we’re looking at, so the other 55% would be the rest of the set 🤓

But I digress - that is still a frightening amount of people who believe in the whole core belief of Nazism.

It’s supposed to be like XCOM, right? Is there a strategic element to it, or is the game only just the fights?

Honest question: did people voting for Brexit even know what they were actually voting for? I recall that the top Google search in the UK the day after they passed the bill(?) for Brexit was “what is brexit”.

The only hardware upgrade I will see myself making in the foreseeable future is changing out my 3600 for a 5700x3d solely so I can keep my current AM4 mobo for as long as I can.

With parts being hella expensive and my 3060ti still going strong, I don’t see why I shouldn’t just keep what I have until they either die or break.
