Turns out that anti-cracking tech is widely applicable, if a bit expensive.

Mark Rober already did that.

Fun fact, Condorcet is the inventor of RCV, and threw it out because it almost never produces the Condorcet winner.

I’m an opponent of RCV for none of those reasons.

No, I hate it because it’s deeply flawed and provides zero of the benefits that proponents claim it does.

Rather than help third parties, it actually hurts them.

The inventor of the system, created it as an example of a bad voting system. This was in 1790.

There’s far more ballot spoilage when compared to any other system.

It doesn’t eliminate the spoiler effect, just kicks it down the ballot a bit,

It’s confusing to count, which has led to the wrong candidate being sworn in.

It requires centralized counting, which is a single point of failure or attack.

And finally there are better, simpler systems that actually do the things that RCV proponents claim RCV

It’s a fun game, and the movement system was not actually that hard to learn.

But the upper level players are all doing animation interrupts to put out crazy combos for much faster movement and attacks.

A beginner will learn these interrupts just by playing an hour or so, but chaining them? That takes skill and dedication beyond the norm.

I do remember winning the occasional match, but it was rare. Overall it was a fun game.

GunZ is still around? I played that game back in the day. I remember the skill curve being somewhat vertical…

Coffee is made with water, so you can even combine the two again for a single drink. Think of the time savings…

Although. Now that I think of it, for the best flavor, you’d want to brew the coffee double strength and then add a few shots of vodka. Which given the extra steps has zero time savings over just a glass of water and a black coffee.

It really depends on your flavor of attention deficit.

My personal brand never really came with the hyper activity. So while stimulants like caffeine sort of help, they mostly just don’t seem to do anything.

Chameleons don’t actually change color the way people think they do.

First off, the natural state of a chameleon is green, which blends in to the forest fairly well. Their color change is a mating tactic, and so favors bright and vibrant colors.

A chameleon changing colors isn’t hiding, they’re horny.

Or angry. Or scared, or well, any strong emotion. Basically a chameleon is a living mood ring.

Now, if you want true instant camouflage, that’s an octopus. They can not only change colors, but their own surface texture. In their case, they get the info about what to look like from their numerous suckers alone their legs.

That list is super helpful. So many games to avoid. Although, I was somewhat surprised by the number of Denuvo removed I’ve gotten through Humble.

Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.

The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.

Other than that, there’s not much difference.

The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.

A small correction, you could make anyone a mod of your subreddit, but they would be notified.

And spez stayed a mod for a long time before that sub was banned.

Pooping at work? That’s about the only reason to not have time to proofread.

Boss makes a dollar, I don’t see a dime, that’s why I poop on company time.

I’m waiting for that inevitable margin call. Followed by Twitter being repossessed. At that point it will probably be sold off for parts.

It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It’s not done yet, but it’s good to play other games from time to time.

Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.

That was Rush Limbaugh, may he rot in piss.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

Well, security through obscurity never really did work

Another distro that’s easy to get going for gaming is Garuda.

Also, the easiest way to switch to any distro is to get a USB drive and install a program called Ventoy. Then you throw your install iso onto the Ventoy drive, boot from USB, and you’re good to go.

As a tip, pick up an external drive large enough for your Steam library. Then in Steam, you right click on each game and select Manage/Back up game files.

Doing it this way will save you days of downloading.

XP might actually be somewhat safe to connect by now. Most of the viruses and worms have updated past it by now.
