  • My parents both openly smoked weed in front of my from a young age. I was told that as long as I was home by curfew and didn’t come home in a cop car they were fine with me doing basically whatever cuz they knew I wasn’t a complete moron (my dad worked in the school system and knew all the ACTUAL problem children really well, they hated me because of that so I never got to be a hoodlum lol), though my nugs WERE taken from me at 15 because “you were dumb enough to let us catch you with it” which is fair but I say they were out and bumming off of me without saying so lol

    As for sex I got a quick talk about using a condom after my dad caught my GF and I doing it, but otherwise it was left mostly unsaid cuz my sex Ed wasnt trash





  • This is so important to you that the government must be petitioned to act but you don’t have a single example?

    Yup, that’s exactly what I said, nailed it!

    Did you purchase Concord?

    No, irrelevant anyway

    Have you ever purchased a game that no longer works?

    Yes. Multiple, even!

    Why do you think you have the right to tell the devs what they should be doing if you didn’t buy their game?

    Because nobody should have the ability to take a paid-for product and make it no longer work after the fact. That flat-out _shouldn’t be an options for anyone

    You should really inform yourself on this topic, it’s super clear you’ve got no idea what youre on about





  • I recall reading somewhere that less than 5 years is the average time it takes for most individual works to earn the majority of its value, tapering off from there

    So I’d probably do a 2-tier system:

    Tier 1: independent civilians. After 5 years any normal civvie can take your work and use it without your permission to do whatever they want with it

    Tier 2: Companies. Life of the author. For as long as the original creator is alive no company can ever use their work without permission


  • couldn’t do much without being the slog A Realm Reborn was.

    I agree with everything else you said, but not this. I’ve seen multiple people write out different mild rewrites of areas and bits of the story to make it more interesting, and it wouldn’t have been much more work to flesh out the MSQ into more than just “go here talk to person” to the extreme it was. It didn’t have to be a slog

    Hell, had they just picked between the two completely different stories in this expansion (hi Stormblood critique from 2017) and kept with that for the whole epac they could have produced something far less of a slog at least, and actually really GREAT at best (just look at the content design after all)

    Shit my queue just popped I’m off to fight THE BEST BEE GIRL EVERRRRR




  • I know my dad and I played Ace Combat, Crash Bandicoot, and Independence Day when I was suuuuuper young, so it’s probably one of those 3

    Horrifically enough I remember equating one of the power-ups in ID to the shirt Steve from Blues Clues wore (this might legit be my earliest memory period) so it’s probably that steaming pile of garbage



  • Yes, after the rep had personally been trying to play dumb for almost 30 minutes. As a CSR myself I know it shouldn’t take 30 minutes to explain your delivery person THREW MY PACKAGE OVER MY 8 FOOT FENCE FEDEX I FUCKING SAW THEM DO IT. THE PACKAGE SAID FRAGILE ON IT YOU STUPID CUNTS WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND I HAVE SECURITY FOOTAGE

    I kinda blacked out because I absolutely loathe being unkind to customer-facing workers but dear Christ this was a $300 object and I could hear the smugness as the guy played up his Indian accent (suddenly much more understandable after I snapped) while saying “I’m sorry sir I don’t see what the problem is they delivered your package???”

    Fuck that guy, he deserves nasty customers every call




  • I’ll second that STL will make FNV work on Mint, I’ve made many comments extolling how much better it runs that way than it ever did on windows

    that being said RED ALERT:

    You need a version of YAD not from the stone age (so not the distro software manager version) to install STL. The instructions for making your own YAD from the GitHub assume you’ve done it before and can understand what phrases like “do the usual” mean. It’s not hard but it took me 45 fucking minutes to find a comment 5 months ago on Reddit that said “do this exact command” and made it all go smooth. If you’re familiar with GitHub and the make command: you’re good homie.

    If you have any issues with FNV you can PM me as I finished my playthrough recently and did everything you can do in modding to it, LoD and all, no issues. Ok, that’s a lie, but the issues were my fault, not the system.
