I beat it last week. Amazing game.

Can't wait to get the DLC and play it!

I'm Latin American, I've seen some people use Latinx here, but I personally prefer Latine because it rolls off the tongue much easier. Ideally though, I'd personally rather be called Latin American to avoid the pronoun altogether. Again, though, that's a personal preference of mine - in languages with gendered pronouns, I personally prefer avoiding using pronouns toward myself altogether as much as possible.

At least in my experience, it's not really uniformly decided and also became a Culture War thing in here as well.

Oh, no no, I wasn't accusing you of fearmongering, I was actually agreeing with you! Sorry for coming off the wrong way, I didn't mean my post to come off as accusatory. :/

Fucking hell, seriously... pardon the invocation of Godwin's Law, but people used the same "Legislative and Judicial branches won't allow it" excuse to claim that Hitler winning the elections in Germany wouldn't be that bad and we all know how it ended up.

The amount of people burying their heads in the sand regarding Project 2025 is infuriatingly high and I hate it.

You're absolutely right, but that unfortunately doesn't matter for almost half of America considering how many people still keep lapping him up.

It's not that they don't know about Project 2025, they just don't care about it. I've seen so-called "centrists" straight-up claiming that Project 2025 isn't real just because Trump disavowed it... ignoring the fact that he had to since it was actually hurting his poll numbers. (The people who wrote P2025 are core members of Trump's campaign staff. How naive do you have to be to see that and still think a politician wouldn't lie?)

I wouldn't be so sure. Back in 2018 when Bolsonaro (also a very extreme fascist) was running for president in Brazil, someone also attempted to kill him and very nearly succeeded, and it's pretty much agreed that the failed assassination attempt gave him a massive poll boost and helped him win. I personally had the unfortunate experience of dealing with people here who were previously undecided but afterward decided to vote for Bolsonaro because they saw him as a vicitm trying to be silenced.

Considering how US elections are severely lopsided to depend on a couple handful of states that demographically generally aren't affected by the risks of fascism and therefore generally see American elections as a harmless sport, there's a very real possibility they'll see Trump as a "martyr" trying to be silenced and throw their vote behind him.

It also seriously doesn't help that Biden's just been making far too many gaffes while Trump came off like a "defiant strongman" over this. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm extremely pessimistic about this being anything but a massive win for Trump.

Sadly, that doesn't matter to them - at least from what I've seen, the predominating narrative among rightists and "centrists" is that he only registered Republican to sabotage/protest-vote in their primaries, and that therefore he's actually far-left Antifa did it.

Best part is it doesn't have microtransactions or kernel anti-cheat like what Ubisoft will certainly stick onto the new Driver game either.

I'm also black (but not American) and I felt the same way reading this lol

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed... it's disheartening and frustrating.

Use any you want. I've been mounting my internal secondary hard drive on /mnt for well over a year now and haven't had any problems. Previously, I mounted it on ~/Storage and it also worked fine (though only because I'm the only user in my computer; dual-user systems would result in the other user being unable to access the hard drive).
