I would want to hear ‘no’ by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

If they haven’t locked you down, you owe them nothing. Be direct.

If they were worth waiting for, they would give you a straight answer.

“I’m interested in you, but you’ve been lukewarm about this whole thing. Whenever you make up your mind, you know where to find me, but I can’t spend my life waiting for you to make a move.”

If I recall right, the only exlusive weapon was the Flamethrower, but they also added the missile Warthog. Might be forgetting some other weapons though, as I never had the Xbox version.

I had some fun when I was younger modding the demo. The only content stripped out of it were the levels, so there were all these custom versions of the Blood Gulch map floating around with Ghosts and Scorpion tanks, etc.

I liked messing with weapon properties. Had my own temu/wish.com “cursed halo at home” long before it was a real thing.

• Sniper rifle fired plasma grenades, and you could do fun stuff like stacking two so the first would throw the second into the air and the trail and explosion made it like a flare.
• Shotgun fired a spread of frag grenades instead of bullets, and pushed you backwards a bit.
• Pistol was more accurate, slightly faster, much less damage, and pushed whoever got hit back a ton. You could easily juggle someone up into the skybox with it. It pushed vehicles too.
• Rocket launcher fired a massive ball of rockets that would lag everything.
• Flamethrower fired rockets instead of flames, with a much higher ammo pool, but no other changes. So rocket sprinkler.
• Fully charged plasma pistol fired a Scorpion Tank shot. I think the non charged ones homed in to a stupid extent.
• Chaingun Warthog fired needler rounds with an increased lifetime.
• Assault rifle worked as area denial, setting an area in an orb shape around you on fire.
• The plasma cannon thing would spawn a Scorpion tank over your head, crushing you.
• I think I turned the needler into a shotgun blast thing, but it still fired needles.
• I think I changed the elites’ plasma smg thing to start firing slowly but “rev up” to stupid fast speeds, and then the cooldown hurt your shields?
• There was something that would call down a larger version of the plasma cannon projectile from the sky, with a larger explosion radius and a stupid big/strong pushback effect.
• Vehicle crashes called the same kind of system as a projectile hitting, so you were effectively “shot” with a vehicle impact “bullet” as a rider if you crashed too hard. Congrats that’s now a frag grenade explosion. That one was shamelessly stolen from a tutorial.

That’s what I remember at least.

Good old Trainwiz. Pretty sure the mad bastard used to frequent 4chan’s Elder Scrolls modding threads, so I’m kind of impressed at the restraint of his response.

Give them BBB support you coward!

The full list really isn’t as bad as I expected.

BBC is up there, apnews, the guardian.

As another comment has said, NPR is audio content, and nearly all of their podcasts are available through podcast apps directly. And PBS isn’t a news site, so of course it doesn’t show up.

Also worth remembering that CNN was pretty widely considered to be balanced until around a decade ago. I’m sure there’s a bunch of older people still operating from that.

It was the one mod that powertripped crashing out because of the backlash and demoting everyone else before himself, according to another comment.

Good. You can spend Thanksgiving “fighting the good fight” while the rest of us try to survive and have a day not filled with doom and gloom.

Put yourself on a news diet, take all this energy and put it into doing good locally when and where you can, and leave it away from conversations with the family during Thanksgiving.

Or you can fucking host and set whatever rules you want.

That’s shortsighted as hell. I cma understand not wanting to have multiple clients installed but there’s GoG at the very least.

Gog gives drm free installers, no laucher needed. Install it somewhere, go into steam, add non-steam game. Boom. Done.

The price has crept up with the paid expansions, but holy shit do NOT sleep on the Castlevania one. It doubles the base game content, and fits in great.

Lemmy

lemmynsfw.com is what it says on the tin. Boatload of nsfw communities.

Also, a lot of nsfw sites have forums bolted on if you’re really into that sort of thing.

Looks like it’s Wikipedia’s current fundraising banner thing, since I couldn’t figure out what OP meant. Ad blockers for a win.

Better check the comments again. At least now there are multiple that explicitly are.

For some additional context, hot brewing is really only needed for sweet iced l tea. More sugar dissolves into hot liquid than cold, so you put more sugar in it when it’s hot so it’s extra sweet.

Everyone was too concerned the AI would do it and wasn’t looking close enough at the C-Suite Execs.

I swear, every time I start to think that I go overboard with this sort of shit in my scripts for work, I either find another ridiculous edge case or a story like this comes out.

Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.

Or some piracy communities on lemmy. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).

It sucked to have bought into the kickstarter and financed the project, and then see the product on the shelves at Target while I was still waiting on mine to be delivered.

Shit, I didn’t realize it got that bad. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t hear more rage about that online at the time.

There’s multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it’s been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It’s what I run in a VM for my work’s VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it’s not worth the trouble for me.

The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.

A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.

I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.
