LOL no, “woke” is anything that acknowledges LGBT+ individuals exist and have a right to live their lives as they want is woke.
OK, body type 2. My experience is that it is a slippery slope, and every time something is accepted, some weird Tumblrite-type comes out the woodworks with a new need; want; requirement. - it’s never-ending. It’s fucking weird, and I’ve turned non-accepting over the years.
Does that mean that MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples are all evil devils? Obviously not. But I’m not kowtowing to a tiny minority that wants the majority to make way for them, in places where it’s really not needed, nor wanted. I just wanted to play videogames.

Nono, it’s only gay if the balls touch. So sayeth the internet.

(spoiler: people from Africa and Asia were in the Roman Empire at that time; generally as merchants or slaves)
Any evidence that these slaves and merchants existed in Bohemia, or no?

Just don’t go as extreme as trying to de-gender languages, like Spanish, which is a gendered language (as are several others):
There is no latinx, only latina and latino. Whoever uses latinx unironically can fuck right off, for being an ignorance cringelord.

watching sexuality become nothing but marketing bait.
This is what I figured what would happen once people started pushing for more explicit sexuality acceptance. This is the bed they made.
Trust us and buy our shit.
This is also due to people inside said corporations pushing for this shit due to ideological reasons.
*some LGBT:* Give us the positive attention and validation that we crave! *Large Corporations, seeing opportunities:* OK *some LGBT:* No, not like that!
Again, welcome to their bed.
- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 4 weeks ago:
College degrees just ensure we’re specialized.
Or becoming better just ensures you get more work done, and thus more work shoved onto your plate.
I know a guy who was smart enough to go to University, but went to a basic college instead (or rather, a Dutch equivalent). “I don’t want to do all that” is his defence in not going to Uni.

I think that’s just a “happy little accident”.

Step 1: Get rid of these generational names.
Europe doesn’t have them. The USA only has them because whoever comes up with one gets invited to talk about what defines that generation, and with that a lot of money.

Yeah, but the girl from Resident Evil is actually hot with the DLSS5 filter though.
But that’s just one character in a bunch, and Realism isn’t a good fit for every game.

If it’s a Type-A, add a little Type-A to Type-C converter in the bag as well. Just in case.

SSD would be 100% dead unless you buried it with a power source.
Huh? Why? Should SSDs not be able to contain data without power?

Have you heard of Disembodied Tyrant? This song, Winter, is a mix of Vivaldi and Deathcore. Symphonic Deathcore, if you will.

Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?
I tried it using Sora, but “This content can’t be shown for now. We’re still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know.”
This was the prompt:
Give me a Coca Cola commercial where Jesus has been nailed to a cross, and says “I’m thirsty”, after which a Roman Soldier passes him an ice cold Coca Cola.
I tried replacing “Jesus” with a man, but no dice :(

Christmas celebrations
Christmas is more of a cultural celebration than a Christian one, and thus not political.
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 10 months ago:
Pride is a political movement - or did they not fight for the rights of LGBT people? Flags are inherently political. Flying a flag signals allegiance and identity, which are political at their core.
This makes pride month political.
Being Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transgender isn’t political in and of itself, but movements are.

I learned not too long ago that SSDs lose data if they don’t get keep getting power… Not sure how true that is, but if true, pretty awful.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 11 months ago:
I remember buying a laptop with a blue-ray drive. That was at least 10 years ago, and I never used it, other than holding Call of Duty (the OG) for half a year, then I put it back in its box, and that was the last time I held a CD as well (maybe a DVD? Potato / Tomato).
Good riddance, as SSDs were up and coming, which sped up USB drives as well. (yes, yes… They still have a use, just not for me, at all).

I think I’ve seen a video showcasing this tactic. Dude with a Syringe just running around, picking up his teammates as soon as they downed. It was great :D

Remember when the $2.50 Oblivion horse armor DLC was considered to be ridiculous?
Blizzard now sells mounts at the price of 90 EUR, ~1.5x the base price of the game itself…
TBF, it’s a useful mount, but 90 fucking Euros…

Summary: 3k hours into World of Warcraft, Retail + WotLK private server.
I’ve been playing vidya since… 1992? Classic Monochrome-green machine to play CalGames on.
Ever since then, my limit for a game tended to be about 100 hours. I got 500 hours into Clicker Heroes, sure, but that game was made to be run in the background, so that doesn’t really count.
It was not until I found World of Warcraft where I slowly pumped hour after hour into its massive world. I found it somewhere in 2021 - near the end of BFA. The Shadowlands beta was out, is when I started. OK sure, I played a few hours at a classmate’s house back in 2005, but I don’t feel that counts. Anyway, I found that there was a F2P version where I could freely try out most classes, quite a few races, and a ton of quests.
I’ve walked everywhere (I even tracked where I’ve been in a massive image of the worldmap for about 500 hours-ish?), I walked because the mounts weren’t available for F2P yet, did all the quests I could, tried every race (which includes the starter zones), every class available (had an excel where I planned it all out).
I ended up with 1000 hours. 500 for my main (Human Paladin - been wanting to play that since Warcraft 2), and another 500 spread out over my 40 or so alts. Ever since I’ve been coming back, because with each expansion release, a little bit more content becomes available, so I racked up another 500 hours there.
In the meantime, WotLK Classic was going to release, but my income was still shit, so I found Warmane, a non-Blizzard server. You could level 7x as fast, which I did a few times, simply to learn the difference between “Classic” and “Retail”.
Then it hit me. I want the Loremaster title. That meant doing a little over 3000 quests (about 99.99% of all quests in the game). But 7x made me level too fast. Luckily for me, there was a 0.5x XP option. So that’s how I grinded. I did every starter zone, every regular zone, every dungeon (I was typically the “overgeared” guy of the group, since the rest was rushing through). I had fun!
That grind took me 1000 hours total. Plus another 500 for all the alts before that.
I’m pretty sure I played over 3000 hours total.
Oh, and I ended up getting my Loremaster title, as well as the World Explorer Tabbard (because I’ve been everywhere).
My favourite places to run around was 100% the old world. Black Rock Depths just has an atmosphere that’s completely missing from TBC onwards :(
I’ve been thinking of playing TurtleWoW, but not sure if I can survive the Vanilla client - the WotLK one was already pretty rough 😂

Years of having good controls has ruined my ability
Where my WAXD gamers at? The Chaos Engine was a fun game, but the controls were a bit weird.
