Luckily she’s moved to B99 for a bit but we’ll see how long that lasts
- Comment on the wok agenda 1 week ago:
It’s used like Grindr
It’s also not ad-ridden, or full of rent-seeking behavior like the nightmare that is Grindr, so it’s just a better user experience generally.
They added a “friends” feature so maybe it’ll be used for friend-finding more than just hookups. All genders are welcome, but the fandom skews pretty LGBT/male so there’s a lot of explicitly gay guys on there.
As a furry it’s… Fine
It needs work. Chat has always been a pain point but almost all of us (unfortunately) use Telegram so it’s not the worst thing.

- Comment on Xbox is planning a summer release for Halo remake and a late 2026 launch for Gears of War E-Day according to a new report 2 weeks ago:
MCC was XBOne’s generation, it came out in 2014.
It released on PC/steam with Reach added across the board, but the idea was to have it run with the original engine/physics, which they… Kinda did
There was some controversy because of course there was.
But tbf as someone who grew up with later, early halo (3+Reach), the earlier games feel fine in MCC in my opinion

I developed this skill at a young age because I grew up in a nerdy family
It’s unfortunately only really useful as a party trick and not super practical

There are plenty of other shooters to enjoy over here, even Halo works and that just feels like it should be illegal

“Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?”

Yeah this sounds like a you problem.
Reputations are anything but eternal and public opinion can change. Sounds like you need to get with the times

There are Nazi furries but they’re ostracized from the rest of the community and banned from most cons/gatherings that aren’t run by them.
They’re only well-known because we don’t like them, and their inflammatory stuff goes viral in our spaces, and sometimes they hit escape velocity, getting exposed to the wider internet.
In reality like 85-90% of furs are left-wing to various degrees, and LGBTQ.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
I use Plex for audiobooks and TV shows primarily.
The fact that you can’t (or at least can’t easily) scan library files from Plexamp is utterly insane to me. Especially after they made audio libraries completely unavailable on the regular Plex app.
I’ll probably switch to Audiobookshelf or something else down the line.

- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 2 months ago:
Love me some Far Cry games
It’s the only time I’ll ever get an Ubisoft game, and usually I’ll pick them up on deep sales
But for whatever reason they just scratch a particular itch
I hated the ending of 5, but it was otherwise alright
6 was whatever, but overall not as bad as the reviews made it out to be imo

Hollow Knight (and HK:Silksong) seem like they fit these criteria pretty well
- Comment on YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg 3 months ago:
Done properly, not overcooked, hard boiled eggs can be tasty sometimes, but they’re kinda whatever
Japanese style ramen eggs (boiled, cooked slightly underdone, peeled, then marinated in soy sauce and a couple other ingredients) are legit life changing.

My job doesn’t allow me to use a jailbroken/rooted device
So if/when this goes through I’ll be switching to iOS.
Given the choice between two closed platforms, I’ll pick the one that ostensibly says they’re privacy focused instead of the one actively enshittifying their product.

So yea it did pretty poorly either way lmao
- Comment on Pokemon TCG Pocket players are taking the whole plagiarism and placeholder situation better than you might think 6 months ago:
Nah fuckem, I uninstalled today after this and seeing how they implemented:
- The most toxic bit of powercreep from the main TCG (basics that have free attacks)
- Supporter card abilities that got put onto EX cards as once-per-turn abilities
The gacha-ness of it all just caught up to me
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 7 months ago:
Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again.
I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.
- Comment on Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Shows Signs Of Life With Small Update 8 months ago:
The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.
And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.
Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time
I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.
I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.
The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.
Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.
Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.
Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.
I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.
