There is no more Republican party, it is MAGA now. People who don't fall in line behind Trump are retiring and leaving office.

And mods are not officially supported. Installing mods has risks that they will break with patches.

I stated with Ubuntu for 3 years but in December I moved to Fedora. I like the way they do updates.

I finished the game on PS5. But have not turned my PS5 on in about a year. I made a Linux gaming PC and have been gaming with it. So I bought Elden Ring again with the DLC for my PC. I am now enjoying playing the game again. I had forgotten how fun the world was to explore.

I don't plan to run through the expansion.

I still want my Bloodborne 2 or a remaster if that is all I can get. It is criminal that Sony hasn't done more with the Bloodborne IP. But at least we'll get a taste of some of the Bloodborne bosses in the Elden Ring DLC.

Looking at this, seems like God is against them.

But I am an Atheist. Maybe God treats his followers like this...for fun?

Wordpad was the step between notepad and paid Word. When I used Windows, I would use wordpad because it was free and had more features than notepad. But since I switched to Linux and there is Google Docs, I have had no need for any of them.

And there are other better free options now. I will not miss Wordpad.

Sovereign Citizens are crazy. Who thinks they can live in our society, use the things our taxes built, steal from companies, not follow the rules and laws our society made and just say they are special and get to do it. These people want to be leeches. How about pay your taxes, pay for products and services you use, follow the laws and join the society. We all must live together and there are rules.

I think it is more like people don't have high paying jobs with extra money to save.

Republicans want the LGBTQ community back in the closet and for us all to shut up.

Hope everyone votes these Republicans out before they make America Great Again.

The CEO and upper management at WOTC are the real monsters. Greed is bad.

I bet they don't even play D&D.

As a queer man myself, I wanted to talk to Newbon about what he meant towards the tail-end of his speech, where he said, "The community has reached out to so many of us at Larian, and said they were seen and they were represented by this game." I've spoken with him in the past about playing through Astarion's trauma as a survivor, and many of the same sentiments returned during our conversation here.

"That was the big thing about [Baldur's Gate 3]: people felt seen and represented, but also, it feels 'normal', quote unquote," he said, talking about how most of the game's inclusion is almost casual and straightforward in nature, and I find myself agreeing with him.

As someone who, you know, likes men, Baldur's Gate 3 never really felt like it was trying to pander to me or anything. That's not to say I'd hold it up as a great work of queer literature either, but I can absolutely see why some members of my community felt seen or heard by the nonchalance with which it separated pronouns, body types, and genitalia, to name just one example.

But I'd feel remiss if I didn't offer up another perspective. Back in September, contributor Noah Smith wrote for PC Gamer on how the game offered a lot in regards to representation, but still had some room to grow. "Thirteen years later with Baldur's Gate 3, I believe there's a genuine opportunity to tackle difficult subjects like gender and disability narratively and mechanically," Noah wrote. "Even having the option to raise deep conversations about identity with a party … could allow for deeper narrative role playing, and incentivize players to step outside of the binary with their own character."

...

But even if it's not some subversive work of gay literature, I can still see how plenty of people playing Baldur's Gate 3 felt seen, or allowed to be their authentic selves within the game. Newbon reflects on the humbling experience of being able to bring that sensation to players.
