I like how your pronouns are "equipped". Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn't you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

You're joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren't some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.

Trauma from torture can be overcome. A lingering connection to the Borg is lifelong.

Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can't both suck.

This is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.

The one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it's not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA's decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just... sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should've hit, because Denuvo decided you're gonna stutter just there.

it's also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.

Doesn't the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?

He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.

Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they're legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don't have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.

But like.. do I care? "I" will survive, even if I'm not the one who does the surviving.

Hot take: I can't stand the word "dunamancy". I don't care for critical role, so maybe it's justified somehow (or maybe just if someone I liked said it a lot I'd learn to let it go), but as it is, it hate it. It's not duna/dyna- (physical force or potential energy) it's not a -mancy (a form of divination), and it sounds like a cringelord teenager's invented name for sand magic. Plus now that it's canonized, I have to argue with every group I run for that my setting doesn't subscribe to the many-worlds theory and that is not an acceptable flavour for their magic in my game.

Anyway to answer the question, I once saw a class entirely reflavoured from top to bottom as a Chronomancer. You probably think it was a wizard or a warlock or something, but no, it was the Battle Master Fighter.

Weapon/armour proficiency and extra ASIs were because they did extra training in a personal timeloop. Second Wind was a short personal rewind, Action Surge was a personal fast-forward. Most of their maneuvers were various manipulations of time; rewinding themself to parry, slowing the enemy for precision strike, looping themself for feinting strike, rewinding an ally for rally.

I don't remember all the flavour, but god dang it was cool.

Bloahai, since that's his name

 

I noticed my posts on Lemmy.world stopped showing up to my account from that instance, and looking back, it seems like nothing I've posted for the last 4 days has federated.
