This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

Yes, lots. This isn’t North Korea or Iran here, Russia absolutely has advanced rocketry and has for decades.

I haven’t blocked a single anything, but I don’t feel like I’ve had a reason to or even run into anything questionable so far.

I don’t understand why it seems so common. Are people having issues on other servers?

Forspoken is low key incredible and like, exactly one sound bite sealed it’s fate, once it became a meme, people already made up their mind about it.

It was one of the best games I played last year and I found the story to be compelling and the gameplay fresh.

I think it’ll be regarded as a hidden gem in the future unironically.

The conceptual framework is entirely different though. It’s regarded as a treatment for homosexuality at worst, or at best medical treatment of a birth defect.

Iran isn’t a hub for transgender surgery because they have the same idea about what transgender means as the US does, it’s more like they accept the idea that some men were supposed to be born as women and they concede it to be a medical issue that demands treatment.

My words aren’t explaining it the best, but I’m familiar with the mentality and the ideas that prop up that mentality.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I mean, yes, but there is a finite amount, we just don’t have the ability to accurately gauge how finite. We also created new techniques for extraction and technology changed to enable those new techniques.

The information was good at the time, but it won’t get better at the same rate, we’re closer to the truth now than we were before because of advancement.

Anyway, my point is the new estimate is much closer to true than the one your comparing it to.

It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

I’ve been trying to tell people for years this is how it actually works, now they’re being ultra transparent about it so maybe people will actually care.

I’m curious ( I’m not in FL )

So it rapidly decreased in intensity a hour or so before landfall? I know someone near Tampa that they lost their car and home, but overall damage is significantly less than what happened in the Carolina mountains from Helene, is that correct?

Any ideas why it deintensified so? Is it worse than I understand? Pretty much everywhere reads like this ended up being far less destructive than anticipated, but that the anticipated storm and destruction would have been record setting.

Such weird reasoning - people ask because they don’t know outside of their own limited perspective and what they can infer from their idea of the values of their peers.

You should absolutely ask, no shame.

Did this actually help?

Sorry, I meant the OUI ( was going by memory ) . It’s the part that you can look up that tells your what kind of device the MAC address belongs to.

Get the MAC address from the ARP table, and look up the OIN, should help you determine if it’s virtual or physical, and if physical the type of NIC it’s using.

It’s no longer true as of about two years ago no, but the measurement was always a bit skewed for Western audiences and glosses over increases in specific types of crimes ( categorically ) such as homicide bombings and domestic terrorism.

I did the same thing with the ancient seed in Stardew Valley

I absolutely believe that in a large city the culture you experienced was drastically different than what I experienced. I didn’t grow up in a city, and yeah things were pretty different for me as a result.

It’s okay, it just means your pocket of experience and mine pool from different demographics and normative values.
