Well, if they’re Chinese, they would most likely have a Chinese name? Being Jewish doesn’t automatically mean having a Jewish surname. It certainly would not involve a fusion of a Chinese surname and a European Jewish one.

Played countless hours of TF2 between 2009 and 2012. Wild that in 3 years, it’ll be 2 decades old.

What aspect of this story seems constructed or unbelievable to you?

I have adhd and definitely relate to craving familiarity and routine. This is a good general reference, though. I think the overlap between autism and adhd is vast and poorly understood.

I’ll be so happy for the bros if this game hits a million sales. They toiled away on it for years with nearly no profit whatsoever. It’s delightful to see them getting such a surge of recognition and support.

Kruggsmash has been one of my favorites for years now. I remember around 2010 getting into it because of those long threads on bay12 forums where people would pass around a save file.

The steam release was weirdly divisive in the community. I played countless hours on the original, messing around with Dwarf therapist and dfhacks (which I still use) and I love the increase of attention and funding that the steam release gave the game. I feel the game is in a better state than it has ever been. And I love that so many more people have gotten into it.

Was shocked to see how prolific retro gaming has become, then read the article summary lol

Why is it bad for us to share our commonalities with each other? Especially when those things we are routinely told aren’t normal or okay. We watch neurotypical people pass us by all the time. I personally missed so many appointments before I was medicated that I had lost several mental health professionals and probably spent around a thousand dollars in missed appointment fees over the years. The whole time it was treated like a personal failing of mine that mysteriously went away once I was properly medicated.

Knowing that other people experience that, that other people know how it feels, genuinely makes it easier. It also spreads awareness like “hey do you constantly miss appointments without intending to whatsoever? Maybe there’s a reason why”. I think that is objectively a good thing.

No, I meant the overall quality of games has not gotten better since the introduction of microtransactions as an industry wide concept.

And that tracks with how I play games. The majority of games I play were released prior to 2015. I don’t play competitive games, multi-player games, or any of the kinds of games that are usually full of microtransactions. I never have. The few games I do play from the last few years are ones that lack microtransactions.

I’m not saying it doesn’t contribute to their bottom line, but it’s not the devs who profit off of microtransactions. It’s the share holders. Game development has existed since the 70s, microtransactions have not. The primary people benefiting from microtransactions are shareholders. And if anything the work load on developers has gotten significantly worse and the quality of games has not gotten better.

Microtransactions suck.

That’s become a whole rallying call for queerphobia lately. They also have beef with the words diversity, equity, and inclusion? I don’t even fucking know they can’t make their thoughts coherent and they don’t even bother trying.

Have you ever pirated something? If so, have you ever been sent to jail for it?

I’m not talking about hosting companies. Yes, I am aware that prosecution exists for them and has been a thing a long time. I’m saying they’re going to start pushing for end users to face jail time as well. It’s the only real recourse they have.

Web 2.0 desperately clinging to life. FOSS self hosted web is the future. Internet speeds are fast enough on home networks that self hosting is perfectly viable for essentially everything, and for the few things that can’t be self hosted by just anyone, FOSS alternatives and work arounds to existing paid services exist.

Internet is becoming harder to monopolize, and increasing amounts of power and control are being handed back to the working class online. FOSS has become a movement that has grown exponentially over the last few years.

Their next recourse will be attempting to make jail time a thing for piracy. Both for hosting it and downloading it.

There’s already dozens of forks. There was before all of this even started. Sad to see it go, but the app itself and how it functions will pretty well certainly go on. Tachiyomi isn’t even an app that needs routine updates, it’s the extensions that do. So existing setups will probably work indefinitely so long as extensions continue getting updates…

So, sounds very “oh fuck” but for end users probably means literally nothing changes. Unless something breaks the functionality of the app, which really just means the reader and library and everything, it doesn’t need active maintenance. Bugs might crop up occasionally, but everything looks fine as of now.

Unofficial extensions are still being updated. I’ve got working bato and everything. Haven’t run into issues so far. I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why, since they’re not even hosting the content. But either way, things should be good for now.

Tachiyomi is too good to fail. It’s the best manga reader that has ever existed. It’s open source. If they need to offload extension support onto less organized entities, then so be it. The community isn’t going to disappear.

Someone will surely find a workaround to this. Half my library on tachiyomi is from mangadex lol

Edit: I did find a workaround, an unofficial repository for mangadex and bato extensions. As of the moment bato extension seems to be broken, but hopefully a patch will be released soon. The developer of the extension still plans to maintain it afaik

Yuup. It’s not just music either. I do the same thing with shows and games.

It is a lot better than other places but not literally 0.

Per this report, as of 2021 they had 4396 homeless people. A rate of 0.79 per thousand people in Finland.

Which to be clear is stellar… but doesn’t have much to do with the topic of anti homeless architecture.
