His campaign of the past six weeks would have won him the election if it weren't for his campaign of the past two years getting in the way.
Liberal, Conservative, Bloc, other.
Just returned from the polling station and I can exclusively reveal to the fediverse that I did not vote for Donald Trump.
Yeah whatever they improved for the remaster, it pales in comparison to the upgrades available in modded Skyrim.
the doomed king and his armed guards need to escape through a secret passage that just so happens to cut through my jail cell seems a little too convenient
I remember playing it for the first time in 2006 and I had completely forgotten about that guff by the time I got out of the tutorial. My character went on to ignore the main quest for many dozens of hours.
Of course several of those hours were spent struggling to defeat boars that started appearing on the road at level 5. They were insanely tough since I'd accidentally made the most difficult possible custom class. At least the remaster doesn't have that problem. Instead the combat is very easy — unless you go up one level in difficulty in which case you'll probably be killed by a mudcrab.
As a merchant, that's a decision you're free to make as you see fit.
It's not as if I did an exhaustive search to sift through all the evidence, but what I found was this: https://lemm.ee/post/60365167
That is what their mod was accused of having done, albeit on reddit. If Kev believes those allegations to be unfounded, he's done a poor job of expressing that.
Alas, not everyone on the fediverse is so friendly and welcoming towards people who "express certain political views" by using a position of power to suppress those they disagree with.
Come on Visa, that's the sort of favour you're supposed to quietly lobby governments for behind closed doors, you really shouldn't let it get out in public like this.
Whether or not you have to be, if you are online for a single player game they are probably collecting data. Or trying to. Use opensnitch.
Yeah that's the user everyone was complaining about, who allegedly misbehaved on reddit on many occasions and was a fosstodon moderator.
When we swap face-to-face conversations for social media engagement, everyone loses
Given that this is from TVO I think it should be pointed out that one could replace "social media" with "television" in that sentence and it would be even more true.
Update: The @carrotcypher user page on fosstodon is now returning "410 Gone"
I imagine he is also willing to listen to ideas from the people just the same in government
I was just thinking that in addition to his "establishment-friendly outlook" when it comes to finance and economics, another danger of Carney leading a majority government is that being aware of his own limited expertise when it comes to other issues, he will be easily swayed by the same combination of advisors, wonks, and lobbyists that led Trudeau to his worst decisions. Just as he has already been persuaded that subsidies to oil companies for "carbon capture" is a great idea, for example.
On the other hand maybe his character and judgement will be strong enough to do better.
I like my women the way I like my passwords: Long, cryptic, and full of entropy.
With that hint I found this: https://lemm.ee/post/60365167
I have a vague memory that something like that happened many years ago but if something more recent happened it's news to me.
It's striking how many of the things they've changed seem to be slightly for the worse:
- the lockpicking and persuasion minigames are a little less fun
- the level-up choices are dumbed down
- the speed at which you gain levels is even faster
- the local map is weirdly hard to find for some reason
- the HUD looks worse
- there is much telemetry
- there are framerate problems
Then there are the things I'd have expected them to improve that are unchanged:
- they didn't give us better difficulty settings
- there's no walking slowly with the controller
- level scaling has most (but not all) of the same problems it did
- the day/night cycle still flies past at hyperspeed
- horses still report your crimes to the telepathic guards (okay I guess they had to keep that)
Of course there are mods to fix most of those problems. Oblivion is a great game, and it's good to see a lot of new people playing it for the first time.
