I had, simply, forgotten that my friend had given me a free account.

Whoops! I forgot to mention that I have a tech friend that gave me a free profile/account that I use with the OpenVPN client.

Using a VPN solved this problem for me. If you don’t want to pay for a VPN, then use OpenVPN Connect.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred.

Been running this insane build melting the entire screen. Very soon I’ll be target farming mythic uniques. Absolutely loving the new Spirit Born class!

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren’t aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn’t have) to use Linux, then I’d recommend it.

Please, stop with this ‘fan-boy’ shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I’ve shown above.

Did you forget to add the trailer?

I’ve used Firefox for so many years…can’t remember precisely. If there was a better option, then I’d be open to it.

Yes

Interesting back story incoming. My brother and I worked at one of the best restaurants (at the time) in Greensboro NC USA. My brother’s roommate (Mike), for several years (1989 - 1992 I believe), had only a high school education. After working a shift at the restaurant, he’d return home and shut himself in his room for hours (this was almost every day). My brother inquired out of curiosity and Mike showed my brother his computer set-up and the types of digital graphics he had been working on. Mike sent a 3 dimensional application to a digital graphics arts school (I believe in Raleigh NC) and was immediately accepted. After easily completing this program of study (Mike was highly gifted and driven), he was snatched up by the company that developed Myst. He went from barely scraping by to making a substantial amount of money in the field he dreamed to work in.

As far as the argument against the argument for your point, the logical argument was complete in the first paragraph:

the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.

I have not been able to find any evidence that would support the claims of talking heads, etc.

My other son is ‘on the spectrum’ and is a joy with all of his uniqueness.

Still having lots of fun playing Diablo 4 Season 4. Got a necromancer and a barbarian to 100. Now, I’m leveling up a sorcerer.

We can still find engagement in small niche subs on Reddit. We’ve known, for many years, that people were going to move away from large corporate-controlled sites such as Reddit, Twitter etc…

The Fediverse is addressing this. It isn’t a panacea. However, it is a re-imagining of what we want the Internet to be.

There are many others, that will come along after us, to address this further.

Still having lots of fun with Diablo 4 season 4.

Season 4 has been the best so far. They made a lot of improvements to the game. It’s the most fun I’ve had with Diablo 4.

‘Traumatic’ just means emotionally distressing. He was disappointed. He wasn’t harmed.

You have made a mountain out of a molehill. Neither of my two sons have ever experienced trauma.

Go through and read the other comments in this thread. Has anyone else raised alarm bells? The answer is no.

Please, don’t make accusations here at Beehaw. It isn’t nice.

I’ve expressed this many many times to him over the years. I’ve said something like “I want to play games to have fun. If the game isn’t fun for me, then I will not play it anymore”.

I believe that he understands this. However, he just wanted so much to understand Elden Ring and beat it.

Personally, Elden Ring is NOT fun to play and that’s why I don’t play it.

I’m just astounded that my 8-10 year old son persevered so much to beat it.

Care to elaborate?
