This was a replay, the first time I played I loved the story.
This time I spend around 100 hours in chapter 2 exploring the world, which was amazing, before moving on with the story.
The things I found annoying-

  1. Weird NPC comments - like remarks by gang on how soon Arthur returned to camp or the blood on him, when he has a deer on his shoulder, when Arthur is the only one feeding them. Or NPC saying why is Arthur following him, while walking down stairs.
  2. Arthur saying he'll look for gang member request item even when he already has it.
  3. Law system, inconsistent economy.
  4. No repercussions of Arthur's behavior with gang or Arthur's contribution to camp funds.

This broke immersion for me on several occasions even when I wanted to believe otherwise as I was loving the world and wanted to be deeply immersed regardless.
But these were minor issues and were overshadowed by the beautiful world.
I finally lost it with all the spoon-feeding and the hand-holding during missions, and when daddy rockstar did not like it when I did not play EXACTLY how they wanted me to, standing in the wrong spot - mission failed, try a different strategy - mission failed, jumped directly outside Danbury's window - guess what - mission failed because Danbury just had a divine vision and destroyed the documents in a second. Fuck this shit.

However much I loved the open world this time and the story in the first play-through. RDR2 is definitely overrated and extremely annoying.

End of rant. This is obviously just an opinion, and enjoying game is the only thing that matters, so if you do, lucky you.

when addressing a global community, writing "US supreme court" or "supreme court in US" instead of just "supreme court" is not a lot to expect and neither is that hard. also your argument is shit.

Priorities in order:

  1. 80-90% SOOC (can't give much time to editing). I am ready to give time to learning and practicing manual controls though.
  2. ergonomic, light.
  3. travel photos, capturing scenes like I see them with my eyes.
  4. low light photos.
  5. long-lasting gear. Okay with getting prime and telephoto lens later if needed.
  6. videography is not a priority as of now, may explore later.

Thanks!

Update: Decided to go with Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 as I liked the fuji SOOC jpegs more. Sigma lens would have been sweet but I'm okay with the tradeoff.
Thank you everyone for being so helpful.

Update 2: Finally went with Fujifilm X-T30 II + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 instead for looks, this was a close one as I had to give up Ibis and that grip.

Well, there's Libreddit. If you absolutely must browse reddit, consider using Libreddit instead. No interactions though (there's lemmy for that :p).

just living, but sometimes it feels reality is rawdogging me though. But that's just life.

But won't I need an account, and even without login, watch activity on youtube for it to churn out similar recommendations. First priority is not to use youtube, recommendations are a good to have.

I use newpipe, freetube instead of youtube.

It has everything but the discoverability that youtube provided.

I would atleast like a way to find new channels based on the channels I subscribe, if not new videos based on watched videos.

Need suggestions.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion. Nevertheless, would like to share why I think this.

Syanna planned the death of a handful, manipulated detlaff to seek revenge. Her motives, understand them or not, might not justify her means. The key point for me here is the number of deaths planned.

Detlaff though initially manipulated, later decided to murder 100s of innocents on his own will. His being more emotional than normal can explain this among other things but does not justify this. He was solely responsible for these deaths.

Anna chose to trade the life of her sister, even after learning she was responsible for the murders, for the lives of 100s of innocent civilians whom she could have saved. It was just plain stupid for a ruler who claims to care so much for her people.

Having said this I would like to admit that I do understand the hate that syanna gets, and respect the opinions. But even after 2 playthroughs, I simply don’t agree.

eg: typing "linux @l" should search "linux lemmy" and "beatles @mb" should search "beatles musicbrainz",

There is this guide available for fitgirl and dodi repacks. Haven't tried for dodi but fitgirl works for me, but process is pretty much same. Have fun

My time is more valuable than money, but I still pirate. To me it's not about money but principles.
If I pay for something and still can't "own" it, I pirate.
If a generous portion of the money I pay isn't going to the rightful individuals but to our corporate overlords, I pirate.
If my internet freedom is threatened, I pirate.

If someone pirates due to lack of money and one day they have enough, I suggest keep pirating and donate to FOSS and pay to individual creators.

Genuinely trying to know if this is intentional to incorporate non-free open source software? If yes then why?
