Exactly, yeah. It’s not super important, like in FO4 idk how helpful it’d be, but it’s a game changer sometimes. I played through Kotor on the Deck by using Steam Input, and made it feel practically native with next to no effort.

Depends on what you’re looking for. On Steam you get stuff like Steam Input, and ofc having it be tied into the Steam ecosystem, which depending on how you play pc can be a big deal or not so much. Plus if you plan on playing on Deck, it’s a bit easier if you own it on Steam.

With GoG it’ll be DRM free, which for many people is a massive deal. Basically once it’s downloaded it has zero ties to GoG, meaning it’s yours and yours alone, you can do whatever you want with it, back it up, turn off your internet and play it whenever you want. You can even download it from the website without having to install the GoG client.

Plus through GoG you can easily install the Fallout London mod, which may be a nice bonus depending on you.

Ultimately I’d say GoG unless you’re heavily invested into Steam and would make use of the integration with the ecosystem.

Older gen z here too, born in ‘99, and while I haven’t noticed the analogue thing, I’ve 100% noticed tech illiteracy in general.

Like, I’m talking about having a downloads folder full of junk because they don’t know that that’s where downloads end up. Installers left untouched after programs are installed because they’re worried that deleting the installer will delete the installed program.

Imo being raised with closed ecosystems like iPhones really stunted tech literacy for a lot of people. I grew up jailbreaking my phones and used my parent’s windows pc, so I kind of escaped it.

My brother now storms off whenever I go to google something to show that he’s wrong.

I also saw a friend of mine’s gf straight up say the results were wrong when they googled it and she was proven wrong.

That newer Prince of Persia game was supposedly good

Exactly this. If you want ai to exclusively be controlled by massive companies like Meta and Google, this is how you do it. They’ll be the only ones that can afford to pay for public copywritten content.

Sorry

Genuinely wondering, but I’m in a completely blue state. What’s the point of voting for the presidency where I live?

Obviously if I were in a swing state or red state I’d vote though, to be clear.

That fruity little club scrambled his brains

UwU

It’s completely free if you own Fallout 4, like Enderal for Skyrim.

It’s a mod that effectively makes Fallout 4 a new game. It’s set in its own world, has its own story, and has its own unique mechanics.

Some people are even saying it’s the best Fallout since NV.

Edit: If you’re curious here’s a link to the site. You can grab it easily from GoG if you own Fallout 4 over there, it’s a bit more involved if you have the Steam version.

Hey if they did a full 180 in like a year then that’s great, but somehow I doubt GTA6 will be releasing on PC on the same day as consoles

Uh huh, pretty sure Take-Two are the ones that released RDR on literally every platform over the last like 3 generations except for PC

Recognizing that it’s a moment of weakness is what’s important, don’t brush it off and pretend it’s perfectly fine. Recognize it as a slip up in a moment of stress.

Not anymore apparently

it would be overly simplistic to claim direct causation

Considering one simply wouldn’t have happened without the other, I have to disagree. I agree that maybe these people may have a predisposition to radicalization, but the fact remains that said predisposition was only exploited because of the events prior.

Bigotry, in some ways sadly, isn’t something that one is born with. It’s something that people develop, whether it’s from their parents, environment, or they’re radicalized over time as they explore toxic rabbit holes online. Whatever the case, these people at one point were just like anyone else. I’ve seen it happen to genuine, loving, progressive people firsthand. It’s tragic.

So, at least the way I see it, a family member learning that someone close to them has come out, being ignorant of it and looking into it online, and then finding themselves in radical spaces, isn’t an outlandish idea. I’d wager that a lot of radicals probably began their descent from an innocent enough place, only to get deeper and deeper until it was far too late.

And of course! Regardless of any of this, I genuinely wish you all the best.

Huh? Maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment, but I’m not blaming the people who criticize cults. Lol I’m one of those people, fuck cults. Maga in particular.

And as for your example, it’s hard to make a cause and effect argument when the cause is something that didn’t happen.

A better example would be if someone told someone else that the earth is round, so that second person decided to look into it. Through that, they stumbled upon the flat earth theory, and eventually got sucked into it.

In that example, the person only became a flat earther because the other person told them the world is round. Is that the second person’s fault? Are they to blame? Absolutely not, they were just stating a fact. But the reality is that that event led this other person into becoming a flat earther. That’s just what happened.

And genuinely I’m sorry, I hope your family, if you decide to come out, accepts and loves you for you. I’ve sadly known quite a few people who have had to deal with fallout from that, especially those living in more southern states. It’s heartbreaking. I’ve also known people whose family’s love them to death and barely bat an eye. So whatever you choose, choose what you need, what makes you happiest, whatever that may be.

And in case my point wasn’t clear, or it sounds like I’m saying something else, let me be clearer: It is absolutely not their fault. Not in the slightest. Their family’s toxic bs is their family’s alone, it’s not their burden to bare.

I’m not excusing anything, I’m saying that in reality events lead to other events. This is just how things work, it isn’t an opinion or a slight, it’s objective fact.

Anyways, please reread the end of my last comment to you. I really can’t spell out any clearer that the victim is in no way to blame.

Are you high? You didn’t post this, and you’re the one who replied to me first.

I’ve literally said multiple times that nobody is to blame, I’m genuinely starting to think you’re trolling or just looking to get into an argument for some reason. I’ve probably said that nobody should feel any guilt whatsoever, that they did nothing wrong, at least three separate times now.
