I'm not totally sure of the wisdom involved in gating content when ActivityPub and the Fediverse are still so new and niche.

If you're putting out premium content that doesn't affect the existing communities, whatever, I don't care. But I do have to wonder how you're actually going to make money when most users are used to free content.

Wouldn't it be easier to use Ko-fi or similar?

It's pretty generic overall, but some parts of the worldbuilding are better than others. It fits together in fun ways, and the later stuff is better, but most of the early-game stuff is bland. Just FYI - I never beat it, but I played about 40 hours in 2015 and right now I'm about 10 hours into a replay.

I don't know if it's just because of the time since I've last played, but Re-Reckoning has felt like a lot more of a chore to play than the original. I don't remember absolutely loving the original, though; it was always pretty mid, I just thought it was charming.

Do what you want, its your experience that is ruined, not mine.

The fact that you believe there's a single way to play a game is so fucking hilarious when stuff like speed-running and challenges exist. Oh well. Enjoy your purist bullshit.

If the opinion is "playing on easy means you don't actually want to play," I'm gonna give it the criticism it deserves.

Let me have my opinion. Why even leave your comment if you are pro-opinions?

You can install Synaptic in Debian. Problem solved? I love the terminal so this isn't really my fight but you could spend some time to make Debian GUI-based if you wanted to.

Also LMDE exists, which Mint-ifies Debian and gives you a GUI option for basically everything you can imagine.

Or maybe they just don't have fast reflexes so easy is... easier. My wife almost never plays on normal because she can't.

If she plays on normal, she will never finish the game and be so frustrated that it will cause her not to enjoy her evening. She works a lot and needs to de-stress when she gets home, so playing on easy is the best way for her.

Stop judging people. Just play your game and enjoy it.

I would recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. The normal mode is already stupid easy, so you feel like a god on easy mode.

It's a fantasy setting with a ton of story and lore, so if you don't care about that it may not be for you.

Speaking as a technician (associate's degree), every engineer in my country makes easily double what I do. Doctors, lawyers, and engineers are just examples of professions that are paid more for their expertise than their actual work output. I would have to work 60-hour weeks just to get paid what a fresh engineering grad would get.

If you think you're at the top of your pay scale and want to earn more, then you should probably think about further education or look into travel nursing if travel is interesting/a possibility for you. Some kind of specialized knowledge like radiation, imaging, or anesthesiology would probably help.

Try to avoid making an account on one of the main instances (fedia.io, kbin.earth, etc.). List of Mbin instances: ~~https://fedidb.org/software/mbin~~ https://joinmbin.org/servers

But as he was cocking the gun’s hammer, it fired

Come on. It didn't fire, he accidentally pulled the trigger while trying to pull back the hammer - I wouldn't be surprised if he barely uses the fucking thing because it's a security blankie to him and not a dangerous tool of destruction. I hate this passive language bullshit when it comes to things people obviously did.

I wouldn't wish a relationship with a cop on my worst enemy.
