Well, since you’ve invited us to argue…

Drag is absolutely fine if a game has a male protagonist you can’t customise. The Master Chief is fine. Geralt is fine. But when drag is supposed to create a character and put part of dragself into the character, drag doesn’t want to do that with a man.

The Nameless One is not much different from The Master Chief or Geralt. The game is telling the story of a specific character. In this case, that character is a man. The fact that it’s based on D&D is kind of irrelevant; it sounds like you made an assumption that wasn’t stated anywhere, and are now trying to finagle a refund far outside of the refund window as a result.

While I certainly understand and sympathize with not wanting to play a character that doesn’t match your gender, it strikes me as kind of hypocritical to be okay with doing so for some games but not others. Personally I’d say, don’t play it if you feel strongly about it, but it’s not grounds for a refund.

Refund policy is pretty clear. They make exceptions sometimes but certainly not after 8 months. Maybe just accept that you shouldn’t have sat on it for 8 months before installing it if you weren’t sure you were going to like it and were going to want a refund otherwise?

And if Trump has another go at the presidency, then it’s only the Democrats to blame, not the voters who defected.

This is honestly the worst part of this whole thing, because if it happens, they won’t even have a come to Jesus “Wow, maybe I shouldn’t have done that” moment that might influence their actions in the future - instead it will just galvanize them against the party that they are ideologically closest to.

Penalties if found guilty range from a fine to jail time. I wonder which he’d get… 🙄

I really hope they do complain, because that’d be great confirmation for anyone considering adding this shit that it does in fact impact sales.

There really needs to be a global fund that every country pays into, that’s dispersed to countries with significant forestation in proportion to their contribution. If money is the barrier to climate action, we need to make it the best option economically to maintain forests and other similar areas.

This statement pretty much summed up my feelings on this issue exactly. This is an excellent, succinct summary of the only sane viewpoint to have.

Same reason as why Bethesda slapped Prey on Arcane’s spooky space station imsim

This was the weirdest choice. I actually dismissed the new Prey entirely for a very long time because I didn’t enjoy the old one, when the new one was actually a very different, very good game.

If the ‘If’ isn’t true, then the ‘you’ doesn’t apply to you, that’s how conditionals work.

I know our electoral process is bullshit, and I believe our government is corrupt as hell.

I’m also a pragmatist. I can either work within the confines of the system we have to try and effect the least harm possible, or I can register a protest vote now in hopes that some time in the future it’ll help fix things. I’m taking the first option.

If we manage to change the voting system to allow for third party votes without sabotaging our own self interests in the meantime, I’m all for it. If third party candidates want to run for lesser offices where they have a chance of being elected and have a chance of making a difference, I’m all for it. But voting for a third party candidate for president, or declining to vote as a protest maneuver, is simply the worst option. It’s looking for a long-term solution to a very short-term problem, and I simply can’t see any good argument for taking that approach.

Electing Trump right now is ‘tearing it all down’, but not in the way I want.

This is such a brilliant idea. I love low tech solutions like this. The scope of the solution is temporary and not too broad in the grand scheme of things, but to the 10 villages that are currently being helped, it’s a big deal, and it’s low-cost and has low environmental impact.

Which begs the question, why use the IP in the first place?

It’s especially weird because they just recently gave the green light for the Aleph One developers to release the originals on Steam, so it’s probably more well-known now than ever before. Even though it’s still relatively obscure, why do that now? It just doesn’t make sense.

That depends entirely on what the rest of their platform looks like. If the republican’s platform resembles Trump, and we’re still operating within a 2-party system, you can bet your ass I will, because there’s more at stake than one issue.

Look, we have two options: Vote against Trump, or don’t. That’s it. And if you aren’t voting for a viable candidate, which right now is Harris, and only Harris, you’re not voting against Trump. Simple as that.

If you’d be just as happy with Donald “Do what you have to do” Trump as with Harris, you can’t feel too strongly about innocent lives.

Fireproof boxes wouldn’t help; an incendiary device was placed inside the box.

Given that, I expect you’ll be voting for the ‘less bad’ candidate, rather than wasting your vote on a protest candidate which only assists the ‘more bad’ candidate in winning, then?

Who even are you? Why has this gotten you in such a tizzy? Are you the ‘comedian’ that made the joke?

He’s a Puerto Rican rapper / singer, and is extremely, extremely popular. This is a very big deal, even if you personally haven’t heard of them.

Edit: He was the most streamed artist on Spotify globally in 2020, to give you some context.

I honestly hope you’re getting paid by someone to be here. The Trump campaign, Musk, Putin, China, somebody, because at least then I could understand your stance from a purely self-serving standpoint. If this is your sincerely held belief, I don’t know what happened to get you here, but you should probably review your sources and really think about what you’re saying, because it’s pure fiction.
