Fursan al-Aqsa was released in 2022

You’re clearly not very well informed, because the source of the controversy here is an October 7th themed update that came out in late 2023.

Yeah, actually after taking a look at your profile, you’re not the kind of person I want taking up my mental energy.

What kind of person would that be?

Do you think Palestine sprung into existence on October 7?

No. I think most people know that Israel and Palestine were both established by the League of Nations back in the 40s post the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after which they proceeded to start fighting each other for fucking decades of pointless holy wars.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the discussion at hand, however.

Why does every discussion of Israel being genocidal colonizers come down to an incident that happened decades after their oppression of Palestine began?

Uh, are we not currently in a thread specifically talking about an October 7th game or…?

Try out a mesh network VPN like tailscale (others are available, but i haven’t tried them).

Tailscale is basically just a simple but powerful wireguard manager that does all of the work of setting up a mesh network for you, and it works amazingly well in my experience. The free account is good for I think 3 users and 100 devices on a network and has been the perfect thing to expose my home server to my various devices no matter where I am.

I like it so much after having used it for the last few months that I just spent way too much money upgrading my server… but that’s another thing entirely. lol

Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

So what is your judgment call? Was the October 7th attack terrorism or not?

TTT was so fucking great back in the day.

I prefer F-Zero as it’s super fast, unique and fun, but Super Mario Kart is also pretty good and has multiplayer. Both have classic music and a very memorable look.

I haven’t played Cyberpunk, but I already felt that way about The Witcher 3, to some extent. CDPR makes nice looking games with seemingly vibrant and populated worlds, but I feel like interaction with the world and NPCs is pretty thin and boring.

They aren’t really the same answer.

People suggest that Mastodon is too complicated for the average knuckle-dragging moron to use (and it might be, but frankly I consider that a pro, not a con) because it has “servers”, as if the entire point of the internet wasn’t to have a global network of communication across a multitude of clients and servers. Do these same people think the concept of websites and email are also too complex for the regular person? Maybe… But again, if the regular person is that fucking dumb do we really want have them in our community at all?

What’s more, BlueSky is supposedly federated (or “will be”™), and as such it’ll have to deal with all of the same challenges around federation that Mastodon deals with, and people are kidding themselves if they think otherwise.

Otherwise I agree with your last sentence. Social media is about money and fame, first and foremost. The average person will always go where the most money and fame are concentrated.

You want the bullshit “Mastodon is too complicated and hard to use!” answer or the real answer?

BlueSky has rich people behind it.
