A War on Blue America. In a second term, Trump would punish the cities and states that don’t support him (www.theatlantic.com)

During his term in the White House, Donald Trump governed as a wartime president—with blue America, rather than any foreign country, as the adversary. He sought to use national authority to achieve factional ends—to impose the priorities of red America onto Democratic-leaning states and cities. The agenda Trump has laid out...

The use of confederate flags was foreshadowing.

People already have trouble separating fiction from real life, let's not make it worse.

Ah, so it's war crimes. I was worried there for a bit.

Is the /s really necessary?

Depending on the age range, someone might think you are being serious. I'd just leave it.

The funniest part is that these extreme-right politicians have the most disfunctional families ever but hey, "family first".

Trump's campaign is distancing him from allies who have sketched out plans for a second term (apnews.com)

But even as Trump’s campaign has been blaming outside groups and allies for bad headlines, Trump himself has been vowing “retribution” against his enemies and ramping up his use of violent and authoritarian rhetoric, including saying he would only be a dictator on “day one” of his second term. He has also pledged to...

Interestingly, studies by neuroscientists see remarkable distinguishing factors between liberals and conservstives.

Do you have a source for that? I would like to read about it.

Yes, but those instances are normally the ones that get blocked by half of the web.

It's clearly a computer aimed at gaming, so where's the problem? It's not like the Steam Deck is something that doesn't exist.

Texas church defies government crackdown by blessing drag queens (www.lgbtqnation.com)

The Cathedral of Hope — an LGBTQ±affirming United Church of Christ in Dallas, Texas — has made a concerted effort to defend the queer community from “persecution,” as the state government targets drag queens and transgender people....

Such a performance is defined as one in which “a male performer [is] exhibiting as a female, or a female performer exhibiting as a male, who uses clothing, makeup, or other similar physical markers and who sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs before an audience.”

So, basically theater?

I'm sorry, but for me (and I'm not alone in thinking that), cryptocurrency is just a big scam. Also, if you can donate money directly to creators (to pay for bills and stuff), there's no need for any crypto wathever.

I'm all for the outrage, but what did people expect? It's the same amount of information already collected through the Facebook and Instagram apps, it's nothing really new.

ETA: just to be extremely clear, that's a bad thing.

There is a legal solution too. It's called: regulate the minimum wages.

I just hope they are setting themselves up for a massive class lawsuit for GDPR violations.

Switching from DnD 5e to Pf2e Ressources

Hello, for the last 3 years I’ve been running a Dnd 5e campaign, due to recent events with wotc we’ve decided to stop supporting them and switch to of 2e. Are there any good resources for switching? I’m under the impressions that some systems are similar while others are completely different....

You can find a lot of introductory guides / videos for people coming from D&D, like this one or this one. If you want to learn the system from scratch, you can buy the beginner's box, which I hear is very good.
Anyways, all the rules are free to read on the archives of Nethys at any time.

  • Crystal caves, for platformers
  • Loom, for graphic adventures
  • Heretic, for FPS, since Doom has already been mentioned.

Edit: I actually forgot about Commander Keen. That's THE platform game of my childhood.

Oh, yes. The original speedrunning game that you needed to complete in less than one hour, or else...

Is there a way to filter threads/posts by language? I get this feeling there is something very simple that I am missing.

I have some hope left for the community after discovering r/patientgamers. It's encouraging to see that not everyone is buying into the overpriced AAA bug-infested pre-order crap these days.
