The thing about kids getting a VPN, free or paid is that it will spread like wild fire. It only takes one kid who knows how to do something. They tried this at my highschool, blocking websites and such. That was more than 20 years ago and we knew how to use VPN's or similar then and once we figured it out it was an open secret.

I'm not saying the law shouldn't exist or that we should do nothing. I'm saying that this isn't going to be effective as it is and could end up leading to worse things.

Probably going to get downvoted for this, but this just makes kids look for VPN's and other ways to skirt this restriction. It may make VPN's less useful for the rest of us as a result when certain services are forced to comply with the law, breaking those services for those of us using VPN's. It sounds like a great idea but I don't know that the implementation will make a noticeable or effective difference.

Agreed. I managed the first two stages of the Colosseum. Then I died there repeatedly so I got tired and went to explore other parts of the game. I am replaying the game now on steam (I previously completed the first ending on Switch), and so I may decide to try again. But I'm just not that bothered. The pantheon seems interesting to me but not enough to really go there and die repeatedly doing it. Maybe one or two of the boss fights I would play again but I don't view most of them as extremely enjoyable so probably not.

Late game is expected to be difficult. Nine Sols kind of sets you up to either get good at that parry mechanic or rage quit and the rest of the move set is kind of built around it. Hollow Knight teaches you to pogo and juggle in kind of round about ways, and it doesn't force you to use those mechanics in battle despite the fact that when you do things get a lot easier. That's part of the reason that the late stages of the game are so brutal. You spend so much time learning to evade and then strike, the pogo, to juggle. And then a lot of that moveset is just not applicable (to the colosseum, or the final boss fight (final ending) etc. The mechanics you get in late game you have the least amount of playtime with and they're crucial to learn for the final boss.

It's either the Sims or Animal Crossing.

It's not. I backed this game. The mechanics of a lot of metroidvanias are similar but this one is especially parry based. I haven't run into a whole lot of similar platforming challenges and the parry mechanic is important not just to game play but to advancement in the game. Hollow Knight by comparison has a combat strategy that is much more forgiving and in its way more pogo and juggle-based than Nine Sols.

The ancestors. According to the new gen we are the ancestors.

Relatively lucky in this respect. The apartment where I live has a company do this twice a year so at most all I have to do is every month or so disconnect it from the vent hose and suck it out with a vacuum.

It looks like if Studio Ghibli made a metroidvania.

I don't use steam forums. But I have questions. Do the steam forums have any moderation at all? Is there a report button? Can you report comments or forum threads?

I want to know because I feel like a lot of social media has the same problem as steam forums and these tools exist on the majority of those. They rely on the moderation of fellow users.

I also question whether or not steam actually has an automod or anything like that. Or human moderators.

Please keep in mind that I don't use the forums so I really have no idea. This is the first time I'm hearing about this, and I'm interested in knowing more.

Anyone who knows how good we function in a crisis is able to extrapolate from there that this would be a thing.

As others have said it's the burnout and the subsequent time it takes to recover that makes this basically unsustainable. Even when finding a balance there will still be burnout.

No offense but it was the US Government. Most of their websites were coded for it, and quite a few of them didn't work properly or reliably in other browsers as a result. This was true up until it was sunsetted and they were forced to update to Edge and some of the websites still haven't been properly moved over to Chromium. When the pandemic hit and the Armed Forces had to setup remote work for thousands of people Microsoft basically built them a fork of Teams. The US Government is kind of running hand in hand with Microsoft on a lot of stuff if you just hazard a cursory look.

I'm positive at least some of the servers that house Lemmy and its FOSS sister networks are housed in VC companies. The amount of people who can support that data and the servers it resides on is small without Corps being in the mix.

We're not exactly winning over here on Lemmy or Mastodon. I've been a member of the Mastodon community for close to 6 years or so. It isn't a reasonable replacement for Twitter because (for what I used it for, which had nothing to do with Micro logging), it doesn't do what I need it to because the number of people I want to follow there are few and far between. Bands, book authors, local news networks, international news networks. I'm not likely to find out about school closings on Mastodon.

I hope they tar and feather him and then bury him under the jail. I don't understand why a person would do something like that. To anyone.

I'm guessing this is the case where the ex-husband drugged and then allowed men to have sex with her while she was unconscious.

Imagine passing out and then waking up mid loop.
