Worst case scenario though is that you can just curate your own collection, or download a ready-made collection online and copy it over
Can you point me to one of these ready made collections? Really getting the itch now, looking to have all the Castlevanias on a single device.

Punchable, that face is.

I feel like they need to drop the ‘Arts’ from their name.
- Comment on Why BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights still has thousands of active players 2 weeks ago:
They’re all different but the server list lets you sort by player count, so it’s fairly simple to find people. I highly recommend trying 5-10 different ones before you settle on a server, since they can be so vastly different from one another in both content and philosophy.
The ones I enjoyed the most when I played were Cormyr and the Dalelands and ALFA: Sea of Swords.
Cormyr and the Dalelands has a large player base, a wealth of awesome static and custom content if you prefer solo play, and frequent DM events. This would be a great place to begin.
ALFA: Sea of Swords is a small server that is hardcore rules, low magic, perma-death, and more of a close knit group of players. The server’s great but the player base is small. It’s hard to play on this one because you basically have to join the discord, get to know people, and coordinate partying offline. I still think it’s worth it though.
I would avoid Arelith even though it’s one of the most populous as I had some bad experiences with both the players and the staff there. It’s a little griefy.

If you’re into D&D, pick up NWN:EE during a sale some time and try out the persistent worlds that have been human-made, with love, care, and lots of custom cool scripting for decades now.
I DM’d a campaign for four years on NWN until I got burnt out, and it’s low key one of the coolest D&D experiences one can find on the web. Every persistent world is different, so try a few and see if there’s one that fits your tastes as a player.

- Comment on How much I judge videos by their thumbnails unsettles me 3 weeks ago:
I just do what I like, and eventually, my people find me. :)
Much easier than trying to make something work for the algorithm that isn’t authentic.
- Comment on How much I judge videos by their thumbnails unsettles me 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately that emotional reaction from clickbaity/doomy stuff can work really well for some. The few times I’ve tried it, it hasn’t worked for me, so my thumbnails aren’t (I think) particularly doomy.
However, I focus on tech though, so a lot of what I talk about definitely has a cautionary tone, like the story this week about Muse’s security vulnerabilities, or the Gamers Nexus investigation of LGTV’s a few weeks ago.
- Comment on I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake. 5 weeks ago:
That’s okay.
I’m going to purchase the Fable remake when it drops.
- Comment on Cate Blanchett asks theatre audience to stop filming during show 5 weeks ago:
They are banned at theatrical performances. People just ignore it and if an usher doesn’t spot it and intervene, most performers just ignore it too.

No, but they will.

The same AI model that was used to bomb a girls school?
- Comment on Question - Retro Handhelds 1 month ago:
That’s kind of where I’m at too.
I’m a PC gamer with two very good laptops, so getting a retro handheld is very niche and I definitely only need one.

This is good feedback. Thank you!

- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 1 month ago:
I second Breaking Points. Very good news source with viewpoints you won’t hear in most places.
- Comment on Do most Americans vote just based on name recognizing without any thinking of the platform? Or pigeon hole a candidate to one issue and vote for them? Even if that issue is way against beliefs? 1 month ago:
It depends on which level you’re talking about. At the federal level, there are generally only two meaningful choices, both selected by the wealthy class in this country and placed there to ensure there’s no meaningful change that benefits the poor and working class.
Our only real power is local. Even state-level politics are largely controlled by the rich now.
- Comment on For all the years it has existed, all the money spent on immigration and deportation why hasn't the US come up with a better system? And become an isolated country for a while to help itself? 1 month ago:
And is also profitable.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 month ago:
Biden wasn’t offering them as a reward for voting a certain way.
Okay.
He was warning that if those seats were lost Republicans would block the checks
You realize that’s the same thing, right?

Yes, the situation isn’t 100% one-to-one, but it’s similar enough to what Donald is doing.
“Elect my guys and you get money.”

Totally man.
Wasn’t Biden out here promising $2000 checks. Nope. No sir-ee.

Yes.
And even worse, we’ve seen it done by other presidents in recent memory, like when Biden promised a $2000 COVID aid check if the Dems won Georgia, which they did, and then the amount shrank to $1400.

Are these rhetorical questions?
Clearly it’s because AI was used.

Absolutely fucking insanity, both on Lindsay’s part and these weird TikTokers.

Wild what people honestly think about this case. They’re making a strong case for the need to ban TikTok and they don’t even realize it.
