Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don’t know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I’m not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.

Well that post didn’t age well lol. Poor Nick.

How long has Gamurs owned The Escapists? I thought it was getting suspicious lately how many different things they were trying to get money so quickly.

They were putting more sponsor segments in ZP videos at different points and Nick would respond in the comments when people complained, trying to find a good place to put them. Then they started letting Yahtzee curse more and offering the uncensored version on their subscription service. And these changes were quickly one right after the other. I should’ve known something like this was coming, but I’m still sad about it. I hate capitalism so much. Why does these corporations have to ruin all my favorite things?

What a great cat name lol

Definitely saving this for later. Thanks!!!

I’m so jealous of cats lol

Hopefully after Tildes, though I wouldn’t blame if he doesn’t want to support two apps.

People have been smoking Marijuana since the 60’s and it’s still a federally illegal drug at the level of heroine. Laws don’t change quickly in the US at all.

Is there a way to link it to make it easier to access from Kbin?

Maybe it’s @ sign instead of the “!”? Try this one and let’s see: @tabletop@beehaw.org

Otherwise maybe someone else will come in and say if it’s possible lol.

!boardgames@feddit.de / @boardgames@feddit.de is also pretty popular.

I know it’s become a meme, but because capitalism. I’m surprised gamers more gamers aren’t against it because it only ever makes our favorite hobby so much worse.

It’s already been hurting them a lot it sounds like. I don’t think Baldur’s Gate is the first game to not release on Xbox because they couldn’t achieve system parity with the S. If they’ve really softened on it, then that’s a good idea. Better late than never.

Maybe it’s my VPN provider then. I’ll have to try it with another one. I’ve followed so many of those documents. Do you use Port Forwarding with PrivadoVPN?

I’ve spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn’t been working much at all 😭. It’s been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that’s good, and it makes me think it’s something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it’s a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.

Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I’m super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I’d really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.

Oh right, I remember hearing about relays. Is that something the admin of the instance controls?

Good to know!

Sort of related, but does anyone know if Mastadon servers require others in the server to find other instances before you see feeds from them in the All tab, like with Lemmy?

I’m thinking of getting into Mastadon and that would be a big reason to pick a bigger instance than a smaller one.

About what Hearts of Iron? I tried that game once (3 or 4, don’t remember) and basically gave up when the tutorial ended and I still had no idea how to do anything.

Thanks. That’s good to know.

I bet it’s the person mentioned before who had been making thousands of junk communities and got banned. We already know they do troll stuff and have the technical aptitude for scripting.

Well that’s a huge caveat. I bet their communities would be bigger then.
