BirdyBoogleBop,

Her: can you pass the potatoes?

Him: Oh! You taking the potatoes as well as the house huh?!

BirdyBoogleBop,

We talking about actual Turkish delights that are delicious or Cadbury Turkish Delight which is disgusting?

BirdyBoogleBop,

And yet you still forget the attachment because you spent too long proofreading the email.

BirdyBoogleBop,

CPU’s 6 years and older are not supported. That isn’t old. I was using a 6 year old CPU perfectly happily until this year.

I also don’t have a TPM module so I am still unsupported anyway.

BirdyBoogleBop,

True I can do that but most people won’t. I am not expecting my less tech savvy friends to even try if they even do know about this workaround.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Didn’t that actually happen though? Not a massive exodus but loads of people actually did/tried to leave.

BirdyBoogleBop,

To make me show up 30 minutes late because I misheard it as quarter past 10?

Way easier to just say and understand 9:45 with whatever clock you use.

BirdyBoogleBop,

WTF. I got this game years ago and only just started playing it, and you have made a review on it. What?

BirdyBoogleBop,

Don’t think there is any probably anymore. You are eating plastic no matter what.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Isn’t Baldur’s Gate 3 just DnD, so thats easy as I already have that knowledge. All the others don’t seem that complex.

Deep Rock is Shoot Stuff, mine, don’t die

Overwatch is only complex when you get past the early learning and pissing around and start learning characters and trying to counter pick. Which you don’t need to do to have fun.

Destiny I don’t remember much of. I guess it had some more complex movement and stats so that one might be more complex.

BirdyBoogleBop,

If there is a VAC ban on your account that people can look up servers on other games might ban you as well.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Unless they are VAC secured

Even if it’s an entirely different game by a duuferent publisher, you might get premtively banned from playing because the ban is visible on your account.

BirdyBoogleBop,

My friend can’t play Hell Let Loose because of a game ban on a completely different game. Different anticheat, and different publisher. So. I would be shocked if a VAC ban wouldn’t cause the same issues.

BirdyBoogleBop,

I think community servers are back now. No custom maps or alt play modes yet though.

BirdyBoogleBop,

It’s about getting the message out and being disruptive. Standing on a street corner with a sign does nothing as the news ignores you.

BirdyBoogleBop,

You don’t. Protests happen all the time in the hundreds. How many have you heard of? I haven’t heard of any unless it gets violent. Unions strikes are disruptive so you hear about them. Cost of living marches walking past government buildings or protesting outside of them? Nothing.

Want to know the last march I heard about that was large and non disruptive? It was on a Youtube video. The youtubers didn’t even know it was happening.

Blocking a road is boring now so isn’t being reported as much, disrupting a gaming tournament gets news.

Rallies help don’t get me wrong but they are often ignored. The disruptive, novel protests get news coverage.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Just Stop Oil threw soup on artwork in a museum. It wasn’t destroyed all the souped art had protective glass shields and they knew that which is why they did it. Basically just made a mess that you can clean up with a cloth and mop.

They’ve souped quite a few artworks before.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Okay lets take the civil rights movement. Incredibly disruptive and even violent at times, albeit usually in response to violence. Rosa Parks for example sat on the front of a bus and got arrested. She didn’t move. She stopped a bus and all the passengers on the bus until she was arrested, nobody critisises her because some people were late that day!

Highschollers trying to desegregate school needed armed guards to just get in the building. They didn’t go “dang! Best hold up a sign outside, don’t want to stop others learning”

Many performed sit-ins. Sit-ins take up space and make it hard for others to use the space for its intended purpose.

They were very disruptive and people hated them for it. It wasn’t only speeches and marches.

Women sufferage involved arson, women learning martial arts and beating people up, vandalism, and sex boycots, once again not just speeches and marches.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Because only Factorio has been able to proove that is happening. That and they pretend they don’t know that is happening as they are just the middle men.

BirdyBoogleBop,

arstechnica.com/…/g2a-confirms-stolen-game-key-sa…

I had a better link on my old Lemmy instance but that one went the way of the dodo and I can’t find that in-depth explanation.

Basically Factorio never goes on sale. Ever, it only gets more expensive so, if someone is selling a key for a price lower than their starting price point it must have been fraudulent.
