- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 2 weeks ago:
Considering that Bethesda refused to roll in the community bug fixes with their rereleases of Skyrim
IIRC Bethesda lets mod creators own the rights to their mods so Bethesda can’t just roll in the bug fixes into the actual game without the mod creator’s permission. I know the Skyrim unofficial patch is ran by a team (Arthmoor) obsessed with DMCA’ing other people as well as just being dicks in general. Some of the “fixes” aren’t really fixes and just what the team personally thought how the game should be.
- Comment on Maybe a young Margaret Atwood witnessed the unveiling of her time capsule book in 2114 and then travelled by in time to complete the paradox loop by arranging the time capsule book in the first place. 2 weeks ago:
Margaret Atwood used real life events and history in The Handmaid’s Tale. She didn’t invent it or make it up, she used inspiration from events that already happened or were happening while she wrote the book. You are just seeing what happened in history, in the past, happen again in the present.

Wikipedia lists this as the original:
When the Nazis came for the communists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a communist.
When they came for the trade unionists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a trade unionist.
When they locked up the Social Democrats, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a social democrat.
When they locked up the Jews, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.
Original German
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist. Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter. Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat. Als sie die Juden einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

I’m looking more forward to Summer Eternal’s DE spiritual successor, but sure I guess I can check this out if it gets released.

- Comment on no, someone making a “stupid question”, genuinely needing advice, or typing similar to a bad person is not always an alt or a troll 2 months ago:
I do not believe I am neurodiverse, but I do know that neurodiverse people struggle with this as well. I don’t think anyone should be ridiculed like that for asking a question in good faith. It can be hard to tell at first glance if there is good faith, that’s why you should give them the benefit of the doubt. I struggle too because sometimes our own bs from life gets in the way, but we should be nicer to people who haven’t done anything wrong. And asking a question in NoStupidQuestions is not wrong.
