The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will come back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn't any they didn't find at first.

The first half of the article walks through his credentials and I'm like, damn this guy really seems like a threat.

And then suddenly,

He is accused of creating a Microsoft Word document entitled "high level secrets".

Web searches show that he consulted several spying forums on social media app Reddit

Oh no nevermind he had no idea what he was doing.

A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I'll forget I'm a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they've ever made.

I think there's a couple of nested problems. The first problem is a manager is giving employees meth, which could have been your son, if not now then maybe one day. You know what to do about this, but it's nested within another problem, which is how to do that without alienating your son.

So talk to your son about what bothers him about what happened and what he wants to do about it. Then, after he talks, tell him how it made you feel and what you want to do about it. Ask him if that's something he would like to do, have help with, or have you do for him.

You're asking the right questions, but I think you're asking the wrong people.

They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They're not progressing humanity, they're making a great fiscal quarter.

I think it's a great idea. Ada you're doing great by us and we appreciate you!

I want to say I've read an interview that he doesn't stop updates because he doesn't run out of ideas and the sales haven't stopped yet. Or maybe that was Terraria. Two similarly dedicated devs.

What great local multiplayer games are on sale right now? Online is fine, but nothing is better than cracking open some cold ones and getting in front of the big screen together. Here are some of my favorites.

Towerfall Ascension - $3 USD with DLC - Local multiplayer archery game made by the creator of Celeste. Celeste uses the same sort of movement as Towerfall so there's dashes, dash cancels, and snappy jumps just like you'd expect. This is my most played game of all time. The DLC is basically mandatory, as it gives you access to the Steam Workshop for user made levels.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - $18 USD - Has to be the GOAT split screen RPG. Local split screen, and the screen merges when you're near each other. Each of you can take one companion and it's like a small MMO. Play your own game or play together. My partner and I have put in dozens of hours and we have maybe 100 hours still left if imagine.

Moving Out - $6.24 USD - All the moving day frustration of "bring your end towards me, no the other way" without actually having to provide a pizza as payment. My group of friends got about three hours out of this before we stopped really loving it, but that works out to $0.50/hour/person at this price, and we might even crack it open again another day.

Yes, but as a queer living in the US, my existence is "political." I'm not trying to say that lemmygrad should or should not be defederated, but I do want to poke at the idea that politics are not a valid reason to defederate. I would rather aggressively protect our users and our community than allow any amount of bigotry sneak through the fence because an instance's policy and politics aren't bad enough to defederate.

Currently, I feel like it is difficult to navigate from the inbox to a specific reply in the thread. The usual control panel with upvote/downvote and the three dot options menu don't show up for comments on the inbox. I would love to be able to jump straight from a reply comment directly to the comment on the thread with context.

At Level 20, Wizards get their Capstone Ability. Undeterred by metagaming a power build and resisting the in game temptation to sell your soul for two levels for some Eldritch Invocations you hit Pure Wizard level 20 and get Signature Spell. The miltiverse's most powerful spell caster. You can stand toe to toe with the forces created the universe and you get... extra third level spell slots?

I feel like this was a safety valve for balanced turned until the power stopped dribbling out at all. Choosing a Signature Spell for a Wizard, or any spell caster, is something that happens naturally through the story telling of the game. Having this mechanical moment to celebrate it should both happen much earlier and have a bigger impact.

Presented without play testing, an alternative.

Signature Spell

Starting at level 5, choose a Wizard spell in your spell book of 3rd level or lower to become your Signature Spell. You may cast your Signature Spell at its lowest level once per long rest without expending a spell slot. At Level 9, you may cast your Signature Spell at its lowest level three times per long rest without expending a spell slot. At level 13, you may cast your Signature Spell at its lowest level at will.

I would replace the Capstone with something like Spell Mastery (from level 18) extending to Spells up to 5th level or something.

There's been a little bit of mention of this below, but I also registered today as a long time reddit user. I was scrolling through instances and seeing sweet Blåhaj made me feel at home. Finding a queer affirming community is difficult on the internet and I was relieved to find a place where that's at the forefront.

It seems that the rate of registration and the technical/moderation upkeep are the correct technical answer, but for my vote, I'd love to see it stay open for a long time.
