I haven't played in a few years but this is how I remember the system working: RDO matches people into separate lobbies based on what version of the game they're running and this check is done by hashing one or more files in the install directory. By adding junk data to one of those files you more or less guarantee that you'll only ever encounter other people who have the same junk data added. It's basically the dark souls password system with extra steps.

kobo is usually one of the better places to buy drm free ebooks, so this is probably on harper collins

I mean yes, but also no: most of them are probably antivaxx and antimask

And I'm saying that there's very obvious transphobic statements still visible on the most obvious account to check. If facebook doesn't even bother properly clean up after libsoftiktok then I have no faith in their moderation of less overt transphobia from nobodies.

You got me to click the link. There is still plenty of transphobic statements on that account, and they've been up for 22+ weeks. I very much doubt that nobody has bothered to report those posts, so I'll assume facebook is fine with a level of transphobia that is enough to make my day worse even by just skimming for 30 sec.

if a mastodon instance was fine with hosting libsoftiktok it would swiftly be defederated for lack of moderation by a large amount of instances. No questions asked. No debate. Why is this any different? Do the rules somehow not apply when we're dealing with facebook?

He just chose to never learn the difference between "minority" and "marginalized"

60fps complaints go back to the dark days of 360/ps3 ports where HD resolutions on the consoles meant high framerate was no longer a viable option there. Since AAA games started using console as lead platform pc became saddled with 30fps caps as well. It possibly happened even earlier, but that was the time where I started noticing it.

The Fitbit Versa series give me the vibe that this is where pebble could have headed if they hadn't gone under. Since Fitbit bought the Pebble estate I guess that's plausible. If you care more about health than fitness I would look into the Fitbit "Sense" series. They have most of the fitness options from Versa but also ECG and stress tracking.

No 3rd party apps, but they're pretty good on battery life (My partner's Versa 3 will last 11 days on a charge).

Still waiting for the "to be announced" steam release date. I've tried getting into it on mobile twice, but it's not really the type of game I'm looking for on that platform.

I looked into it some more and it seems there was a "shady" script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn't happen again and just didn't care about the drawbacks for regular people.

40k inquisitor is better than it has any right to be (especially considering the dire state at early access and launch). Co-op is somewhat unstable and I don't think anyone does pvp. Loads of endgame. Get the game when it goes on sale (it's overpriced but go on deep discount often)

Ghostlore is a pretty neat indie arpg. No online play but has split screen co-op and remote play together support on steam.

Undecember and Torchlight Infinite are pc/mobile arpgs with cross progression. Neither is amazing, but both have gotten much better than at launch. Torchlight feels like zoom-zoom poe and gets fun quickly but has less longevity, undecember takes longer to get going but stays interesting for longer. (and both should have new leagues/content out within a month or two)

Keep an eye out for The Slormancer. I suspect it'll be quite good once it's out of early access.

Grim Dawn is probably well known enough that I don't need to talk it up much. It's one of the GoaT arpgs.

And finally, Last Epoch. It's probably the closest we'll see to the complexity and depth of poe in a very long time. Still in early access but incredibly good. Endgame lacks variety, but what's there is great.
