Given the performance improvements gained by using NTSYNC which game developers have used for years, I wonder if we'll see improved performance on games running through Wine/Proton compared to native.

I, of course, sent the Hunt after one of my enemies. I'm not going to waste the opportunity to play "let's you and him fight".

~~My catspaws~~ The rest of the circle are sometimes frustrated with my antics, but I'm too useful for them to ditch.

It's very much like in OP, except I can just pickpocket a target's name when they aren't looking.

Like a lot of Sidereal charms, it's deceptively useful but dependent on setting up a situation to make it good. I use it to either fuck with someone powerful (a CEO whose name can no longer be used by anyone is paralyzed) or to learn the name of someone I just met so I can convince them that we've met before to improve their initial reaction to me.

In one instance a villain summoned the Wyld Hunt and just as they appeared I swiped her name and proceeded to command the hunter because they were summoned by [villain's name] and that was my name (now, anyway). Storyteller ruled it worked because it was a fey creature.

I do this to my storyteller when I play my Sidereal Exalt, abuse of Name-Pilfering Practice is probably my hallmark.

It was during DADT and I wasn't joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world...).

Willful disregard for human life is the legal term I believe.

The reason I believe this is true is because in the last election Trump kept accusing Democrats of supporting "post-birth abortions". The man tells on himself so much that it makes this claim very plausible.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

Well as long as we can blame women, that's what's really important. Remember moms, if your child is neurodivergent it's entirely your fault you irresponsible hag.

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?

I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

So his son was being investigated for making threats to shoot up the school and he decided that the best gift was a gun that could allow his son to act on those threats.

Charging him in connection with the shooting seems appropriate.

The reputational damage that team of lawyers did to the company massively outweighs the cost of a settlement. I personally will never do business with a company who thinks the EULA or TOS of one service indemnifies them from egregious negligence in a completely different line of business. This was simply beyond the pale.

Edit to note: Despite the title, they aren't actually reversing course, they still claim they have the right to force arbitration, they are just choosing to waive it in this instance. If you do business with Disney, you are a fool.

He doesn't have trauma, he is watching because that was the moment everyone told him he won the election. It was his glory moment and he wants to relive it because he fears it slipping away. Spare me this disingenuous sympathy plea.
