Updates generally don’t require settings resets. It can happen if there’s major changes but that’s the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don’t know if they do, I haven’t really touched Chrome in ten? years) that’s either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

Considering that OP’s teachers apparently beat their students (or at least stand idly by while their colleagues do), I’d argue that they do not deserve one ounce of respect.

Agreed. China is openly hostile towards Taiwan, but it has not committed any actual acts of aggression and none of China’s actions warrant a military response.

Make your own instance then. As long as you’re using a service someone else provides for you (free of charge at that), you have to play by their rules.

As evidenced by all those NATO troops on Russian territory. Oh, wait. There’s none.

Kindergarten. But my parents never really cared. I was told “know your audience” not “don’t say that”.

It’s not open to interpretation, it’s plain as fucking day. Do you even bother reading Russian media? Because they openly admitted to it.

Then the rest of the world ought to read Putin’s own essay on what he thinks of Ukraine, I can’t be bothered to link it right now but it’s on the Kremlin’s official website if you want to read it yourself. This invasion is a blatant, imperialist landgrab.

Hate to break it to you but China is a dictatorship. They don’t even pretend otherwise, the primacy of the Communist Party is literally part of their constitution.

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

Nazi Germany had elections. North Korea has elections. As long as there’s no actual opposition on the ballot, just having elections means nothing.

So you claim that China is a democracy based on… having absolutely no knowledge of Chinese politics?

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

If only there was a country that could easily end the war by simply withdrawing back behind its borders…

But do keep cheering for a fascist dictator – everything to oppose evil America, right? No matter how many innocents die.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

Yeah, no. Death threats are acceptable in exactly the following circumstances:

That’s it. Nothing beyond that.
