I think there's a time and place for both. In the beginning being able to have ANY queer sexuality in games was amazing, and having playersexual games levelled the playing field for everyone. On the other hand when done well having characters with their own defined sexualities can work even better in the right context. Cyberpunk did this fairly well. It was nice finding some exclusively gay characters, some hetero. The bi representation could have been better but the fun was finding oh wow this person is their own character with boundaries and personality and preferences! As weird as it sounds it was nice getting rejected by Panam and made her feel more real. I was like ok, cool! She's not into it but not super weirded out. And getting to know Judy was wonderful! She is an explicitly gay woman and her character was written as such and it felt like it. Her queerness was REAL. It would have been a bummer if there were only straight romances to pursue but that wasn't the case. It obviously takes more time to develop a specifically tailored romance line for every possible sexuality though so it's understandable when a developer wants to include everyone and just makes the npcs into you no matter what. And sometimes the game just doesn't have very deep characters anyway so why not? As far as the straight male audience being upset they have to deal with unwanted advances by men... heh. Damn that must suck huh. looks directly into the camera

Get fucked. Was that person arrested for posting those offensive tweets? No? Then they enjoyed all the rights afforded by freedom of speech.

This feels like a "water is wet" discovery but it's still great to see more evidence of prehistoric cultures since we know very little of how ancient humans thought and what they valued.

Were all neolithic musicians into rock music?

Same. They say it's dishwasher safe and then I look at the very not dishwasher safe coating and start to suspect they'd prefer it wear out as quickly as possible so I buy another fryer within a year. It's easy to just wash anyway.

In Canada we have two official languages. We also have several indigenous languages which may be in danger of being lost if people stop speaking them. I can't see how forcing everyone to embrace a single language won't put the cultures that speak the other languages in danger of being subdued, permanently altered, or even of disappearing.

Humans are at our best when we embrace diversity.

That's not great at any election, but certainly in one where literally every vote mattered.

Wellllll, now I know what my next D&D character will be.

You're right. It is, at least, something.

Currently I have a 40 inch LG that I bought so long ago that I don't even remember, but with where I sit to view it reading text it a little difficult for me. Playing games on it is more or less a no go. I'd also like to upgrade to hdr and enjoy some 4k movies on a display that will let them shine. Accurate colours are something that is more important to me than not. My budget would be CAD $1000-$2000. I sit about 3m away from where the tv would be mounted and I don't have the best eyesight so leaning on the larger side would be better?

I find looking up recommendations on youtube to be pretty difficult. There are a lot of channels that talk about them but they end up only really recommending stuff out of my price range or they conflict with what other people had said about those tvs. Some people recommend the more budget oriented options, others say to stay away like the plague!

Edit: One hard requirement is that it must be usable if it's not connected to any network. The television will NEVER connect to the internet. If I need to connect it to get past a nag screen that is a deal breaker. For all intents and purposes, it will be a dumb tv. As dumb as I can make it. As dumb as they come.

 

I'm looking to be able to store assets that I've created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I'm doing a commission I can filter out the "personal use only" assets available. As the primary use is for visual arts assets, large preview images would be perfect. Teeny tiny icons not nearly as useful when browsing through image elements to find something you like.

I'm really looking for a self hosted option, ideally one with a docker container available but I could also spin up a virtual machine to host it if required.

Does anyone know of something that would fit the bill?

I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to add the summoner archetype to a character AFTER you've unlocked it. I have already gone through that ordeal and can select the summoner as a new character. But I'd like to add the summoner to a new gunslinger and don't know if the grimoire might be available in the ward. I hope it is! But I suspect it is not.

Edit: As luck would have it, and it is fantastically lucky, I ended up getting a bloodmoon immediately after posting this question. In case you are wondering about how to unlock it, here's what I know

spoilerYou can look up guides on how to unlock the class and that's easy enough. You need to craft an item at an altar, and it is going to cost you blood moon essence which you can farm from wisps that spawn during a blood moon. What you don't find online is how to actually spawn the blood moon. I do not have good news here. It seems random and extremely rare. I have tried killing the doe as suggested. No bloodmoon. Travelling back and forth between the ward and yeasha, no bloodmoon. Just walking through doors. No bloodmoon. I did this for hours. SO. It seems like getting the bloodmoon is rare and just pure luck until someone can figure out the mechanics of it.

BUT if you do get a bloodmoon harvest the wisps as fast as you can, and then go through a doorway into a dungeon. Not the crystal, you don't want to reset the monsters. Just go through a yellow loading door and back and the wisps will respawn. Farm up as many as you can. You need 15 for the class and then there's an armour set if you want to go for it. I don't remember how much all that is because I've never managed to farm up enough wisps lol. For this character I just happened into a bloodmoon and there weren't many wisps spawned in. I only saw three, so I just kept moving into the dungeon and back to respawn those three wisps until the bloodmoon was over.

Anyway, I found a lot of guessing online, most of it wrong, about this so at least I can provide some experience. Good luck and good hunting!

 

Build more trains

 

TLDR; there's no tracking and it requires a piece of hardware in between the psvr2 and pc. But they got past one major technical hurdle.

 

"Bike theft isn't just a nuisance. It's a serious problem plaguing almost every city in the world, and it stifles bike-friendliness, discourages people from riding, fuels crime and undermines our sense of community. Yet almost no cities are doing anything to seriously tackle the problem. "

This is a great video from Shifter about the benefits of bicycle registries. If you cycle in an area with a bike theft problem, chances are the police recover a lot more bikes than they can ever return because they simply have no way of knowing who to give the bike back to. One tool you can use to protect your bike is to register your bike with a service that the police are able to access. Tom's video focuses on Project 529 Garage in Canada, but there are similar services worldwide. There's a list here on wikipedia.

Good luck out there!

You may know the actor Nick Offerman as the gruff city parks director Ron Swanson on the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation or from his turn as the survivalist Bill on the HBO series The Last of Us, but he also has a lot to say about how people get around, share public space, and relate to nature. In his book Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside, Nick takes a wry and philosophical approach to our stewardship of Planet Earth, the value of working with one’s hands, and the many problems with the massive agricultural systems on which we all depend. Nick Offerman joins The War on Cars to talk about his experience biking for transportation in New York City and Los Angeles, his views on masculinity and conspicuous consumption, and why the best way to explore an unfamiliar city is at the speed of a good walk.
