I have to agree with you there. The music, the scenery, the plot, just the general aesthetic of the game was incredible. It created an experience in play. I can’t tell you how many times I restarted characters and classes to play through in a slightly different experience. I still pick it up and play occasionally, even though I’m the only one from my guild who has logged in for the past 3 years, it’s nice to just see and experience the game again.
Well said, although I fully support freedom of speech, I definitely don’t support providing a platform for hate purely for the sake of “both sides”. I sort of align with Dr. Jen Foell there. “If there are ten people at a table with a Nazi and none of them protest, there are eleven Nazis at the table.”
Additionally, I’ve watched a few videos by Innuendo Studios on YouTube that echo very similar ideas to yours. They do point out a number of ways that some alt-right conservatives will specifically push limits and feign opinions on topics purely to anger people on the opposite end of the argument to push those limits and push others beyond those limits. The whole Alt-Right Playbook series was quite good. The are, of course, opinions of the author, but he does give a good list of sources beneath videos where he makes assertions.
I run a Chromebook from HP that no longer has support from Google. I had to pull the back off and remove a physical screw to reinstall the OS but am happily running Pop_OS 22,04 on it which gets linux-firmware updates. Unfortunately I have not seen a bios update in quite some time, but the firmware still gets support from the kernel and distro. I did need the juevos to actually open my computer up after researching what to do and the knowledge to futz with all the keyboard oddities to get the keyboard fully functional that most people just don’t have the knowledge to easily do nor the patience to fight with Google searches and Gallium tools/documentation to make these things work.
