contributed to make pedophilia the #1 vicious crime, surpassing rape in most consciences

It is rape. Children are not able to consent.

What makes the rape of a child seen as worse as the rape of an adult, is that children are vulnerable in every sense of the word; physically, emotionally, financially, and sexually.
Everyone has been a child so they are able to empathize, and we are “programmed” to want to protect them.

There were some old PCI cards that were very badly designed, and they required things plugged into them from inside the case, or they needed to plug into things on the motherboard. I had card that controlled Cold cathode tube lighting that could also connect to audio to sync to the music that worked that way

But, the actual answer is that the grommets are for old-school water-cooling.

you missed the “!”, so browsers parse that as an email address

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

Which is saying something, because the main quest in Fallout 4 is awful.

• Be frozen in time for an unknown number of years
• Get unfrozen, and watch your kid get stolen
• Get refrozen for an unknown number of years

You learn that you were frozen for over 200 years total. It is most likely that your child is dead, just like everyone else you have ever known, so why would you look for them?

Not in Canada.

The prices in French have the dollar sign at the end, while in English it’s at the front.

not always. It’s a combination of 3 spaces for some, and 2 for others.

McKay was great, and everyone who doesn’t like him is wrong.

You could either say that I have taught them to ignore my opinion, or you could say that it shows other companies to act with their customers in mind if they want to retain them.

Aren’t we all done giving WotC money after the OGL issue?

Oh boy.
Another way for people to repost from reddit.

Or in some editions:

• We just copy/pasted that table from the last edition, please ignore the third column.
• Woops, we forgot to include that table. It’s the 90’s so we don’t really have a good way to getting the information to you.
• Sorry, that book is only in German.

I only did SR5, which wasn’t that brutal, but SR4 or SR3 might’ve been more deadly

Shadowrun is a “crunchy” game, this means it has a lot of rules, and those rules are not simple. If everyone actually learns the rules for their characters, and people don’t do things that are extremely odd, the game can run smoothly.

IIRC from when I ran it, if someone does a normal melee attack (without any magic, hacking, or vehicle shenanigans), it’s like 20 steps, and some people can attack 6+ times per round at level 1.
Compare this to a game where at attack is “roll one die, add one number to it. Is it higher than their armour? Then roll a different die and add one number to it. That’s the damage you deal”.

Edit: Even those of us that love Shadowrun kinda hate Shadowrun. There was also a time when the guy in charge stole a bunch of money from the company, and they didn’t have the fund to pay the people who actually worked on their games.

I’m just so sick of heroic high fantasy

I don’t think I’ve played/run fantasy since before covid. Couldn’t be happier

They were common talking points I saw in other threads ripped almost directly from top replies, not my opinion.

In your main post, you complain about the quality of posts you find online and how people aren’t voting on quality, so then why use highly upvoting as a metric?

Do you feel someone would start a community called Actual Discussion and not have anything they’d like to discuss?

That’s not what I said.
I said that things didn’t feel like discussions.

This community didn’t really feel like a place to discuss, it seemed more like a place for the mods to have a soap box for others to listen to them.

Also, some of the “topic starters” were incredibly leading, and also completely out of no where. On the division in the USA “Can it be remedied, or is civil war the only option?”. Civil war? Do sane people think that would solve the political division in your country?
