Thank you, I appreciate comments like this so much. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Unfortunately it seems obvious that PP and his party will win with a majority government. And as an autistic LGBTQ person who already experiences real hate from people in my small town, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.

I will just start downloading videos and watching them at my leisure. Anything to not give this corp my money. Funny thing is I use to have no problem watching ads on youtube until they increased the amount and started spamming ads for gambling. There is an option to select on your google account that limits the amount of gambling ads you see. I had that enabled and it felt like it increased the amount of gambling ads it was serving me.

Serious question here, when does this become an act of war?

This is all hypothetical so bear with me; If the USA flew satellites in international space above Russia, and those satellites dropped thousand and thousands of propaganda pamphlets that would fall down on Russian cities, and did this every day for years, would it not be seen as an act of war?

So why is it okay when it’s done internationally online instead of international space?

Goodluck! I hope you can get it working without too much trouble 🙂

I wish I could offer some advice, I’m on windows 11. I downloaded the game files from Blizzards website (had to google it, its kind of buried), and used my CD keys from my game cases. Honestly I was surprised I didn’t have to do much tinkering to make it work. I think all I did was make sure it launches with compatibility mode enabled in the properties of the .exe

I was going to try Plugy earlier this week but I just discovered Project Diablo 2 which comes with some of the QoL features from Plugy and more. It’s been phenomenal! Absolutely check it out if you haven’t.

I just finished playing the original FF7 for the first time in like two decades. I always secretly dreaded trying to play it again, worried that it wouldn’t have aged that well as a game, or that my nostalgia was propping it up as a masterpiece when perhaps it wasn’t.

It sucked me in and I ended up doing a 100% completion playthrough. The experience has shifted my thinking and now I’m more willing to replay older games. Just last week I found my old CD Keys and started up Diablo 2, the original, not the remaster. Now I’ve been sucked into that.

I personally am finding that mechanically, these older games have systems with lots of depth and creativity. They give you so many options and choices, and they rarely explain all of it so your kind of left to just… experience it. I am sure this is not true for every retro game ( and ditto for some new games ) but it is something I have been feeling when playing older games.

Thank you for this, I am on a waiting list for CBT so this might be something that can help me a lot. I am going to try going to sleep soon, but I have that link bookmarked and open in a new window, I will be sure to read it tomorrow.

I am working on mindfulness with my current therapist but we have not done any CBT, I am sure that it will be helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thank you for your advice.

I am sorry you have to deal with this too. I think I comment less and less because of those types of interactions, I appreciate you reading my post and responding.

I like your idea of putting some time between myself and the conversations, I have never directly noticed before but I think your right it can make it less scary. Thank you for your advice and kindness.

Thank you for the marching cats, I needed to see something like that. I’m sorry you had to deal with something similar last night. I just wish we could use the internet without the abuse. I will try to remember your advice the next time it happens. I will try to go relax but it is hard to find enjoyment in the things I love when I am feeling down. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond.

I love f-zero and starfox. I had no idea Imamura also did the art for my favourite zelda game, majoras mask!

That said I wish we’d get a new f-zero game sometime…
