President Joe Biden on Tuesday joined a picket line with striking autoworkers in Michigan, supporting their call for a 40% pay raise and saying they deserve a “lot more” than they are getting....
Then perhaps they shouldn’t have accepted it and striked as planned? The fact that it wasn’t “enough” for the workers isn’t on the POTUS and doesn’t negate his actions.
Criticism is totally fine and often deserved, I’m just saying using the rail strike (or any past Biden ball-drops) as a measuring stick for this one servers little purpose and detracts from the core issue. He should be held to task for those things when it comes election time, not fielding “but what about XYZ?” statements.

What’s specifically so much better about it? We’ve got years of watchlists and customizations to our Plex and it works flawlessly but if there’s a compelling reason beyond “it’s the new hotness” I’m all ears.
Used it last week on a trip to the PNW, still works. I didn’t know the area code locally but asked the checkout guy, popped in Jenny’s number as the rest and boom.
Oddly enough, one of the old BB forums from just after the Something Awful days is one of the few places I went back to when Reddit started dying. Sure enough, thousands of folks had never left and the “bump a post” system is still working beautifully on ancient forum software with a few new additions (embedded media handling, etc).
Kudos to those folks who never left, they had the right idea and I was so glad to be accepted back into the fold.
Downvotes for a lame joke that missed the mark = toxic? I read all the responses, nothing toxic there… so what else could it be? Perhaps you aren’t ready for the Internet.
There are far better uses of your time than white-knighting perceived toxicity in such a tame thread. It’s not even your thin skin or this supposed disagreement in what’s toxic and what isn’t that gets me.
It’s your blatant hypocrisy in an “I’m taking my ball and going home” style statement only to write paragraph after paragraph of self-serving bullshit afterwards, calling a community out and THEN trying to justify your actions in post after post. If you’d just left and not gone edit/response wild, we’d be done long ago…but I think you just NEED to get the last word. We’ll bud, it’s all yours, we’re moving on.
It was a huge immersion breaker for anyone not going stealth/low profile (as the author admits he does). In fact, it was the reason I haven’t played until now. I guess I’m a patient gamer and it irked me what was missing from launch. I’d built my 2070 machine for this game years ago and now I’m stoked to have a 3080 to break it in with.
It happens to us all eventually, the longer we interact online. The reality is, it’s necessary to counter misinformation for society as a whole going forward and while I try to jump in where possible, I’ve definitely stayed out of more and more controversial discussions. That’s said, I respect and appreciate the next generation taking up the torch. We need you.
I still can’t believe this works and actually puts people back in the fight. If we’d tried this in old 2nd or 3rd edition tabletop we’d be laughed at by our DM.

Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.
