    Looking really bad for AVOWED.

     

     

    Once I saw the art director and his rants and bullshit. I was turned off.

    this  time so much that I made sure that relatives that would buy me a game for a gift (I am hard to buy for) wouldn't buy that game at all. It is so off putting that I don't care as of right now if it was on sale for 5 dollars to purchase it.

    I suspect many other gamers that are avid gamers that would put down the money for games on day one or, as much as I would advise against it, purchase preorders. Attacking the core heavy gamers that would eat up a game like this is totally the most fucking stupid thing I can think of. All he had to do is keep is fucking mouth shut and talk about some game play and deflect from the pronouns and other shit and some might have bought the game. More than they are now. Hell it appears that Ass in Pee'd (yes I intended to spell it that way :P )  is doing so much better and they offended an entire culture! 

    If I was an major investor I would want that guys head on a platter for such supidity. Fire his ass.

    WildLife has anyone played it?

    Supposed to release this year. I'll be honest, the main story doesn't grab my attention. I'm more interested in the sandbox. And wondering if in the official release the editor will have more than it does now. They do all their discussions on discord and I don't do discord. If they had a forum community, that would be nice.

    Get a browser that you don't normally use and do the Discord. Just that one. It sounds like it might be useful in this situation. Create a disposible discord that you only use tor that.

    I know discord can be complete shit and such but sometimes it can be a useful tool. I have alternate discords as well. I also have a browser (hell an entire computer ) to do shit that I wouldn't do on my main computer. You can also just install a linux in a virtual machine and have it only do the discord. They can't see anything but what is on that VM. (Still can see your IP but that can be fixed with a free VPN or something like that)

    There are ways to get what you want without dealing or h aving that shit on your main machine is all I am saying. :D

    I have an old Intel Mac that I do some Apple shit on. Not much now but it can be used. (Note to self I need to setup open core so that I can update the OS lol)  A chromebook that I do Google shit on. A low end laptop that I do this stuff on. Posting here and other gaming sites. and a main gaiming rig that has alt accounts that I use for my general public gaming and such.

    @Doublezeroperhaps we should setup a section for this game?  Maybe @endgameaddictioncan start some quick easy tutorials for those that are interested in the game. :D  Another cool thing maybe is a site server from someone here that can set it up for us to play in. ( I assume it is like Conan and has a private server option. ... yes, I was lazy and didn't check lol)

    @endgameaddictionthanks for all the updates on the game.

    They want identification verified (actual ID for example) for their fucking crap system. All to "protect the community".   They are getting harder and harder to work with. I don't want to give my phone number for this account. I don't want to give you my first born either. Seriously, WTF.

    @endgameaddiction I have watched some videos on Odysee. have you tried that? I am able to use it (view the content) without any ID. Of course and it is reasonable that I have an account to comment etc.

    I don't quite remember the saying but it's something like, "A Man is barbarian, but a gentleman knows how to control it." 

    I never understood the Hate for Peterson. Most of his talk boils down to "Stand up, be strong, go work so you can take care of yourself and your family." Sounds like basic practical advice to me and, if I'm being 100% honest, advice I need to be reminded of from time to time.

     

    Reason for the hate...

    SJW

    Simple. They don't like him. He is trying to get people back to the basics. What was normal years and years ago. What made society healthy and happy. Basics. Sure there are some that that won't fit or work for but the majority it will.

    For the SJW if you watch his videos he fought the laws that were being changed that made it a requirement of using the right pronounds or it was a hate crime etc. From my memory, that is when he started really getting the hate. Many of his interviews revolved around SJW subjects and his statement that women are ... women and do women things and are happier doing woman things just like men are happier with doing manly things.

    Happened on my work computer maybe a month ago.  The machine is a closed system with licensed AutoCad, Norton Antivirus, and Microsoft Office, and that's it.  It was connected to the internet one time two years ago to install everything and has never been used to access the internet since.  I still get 'the updates' but there's nothing TO UPDATE and even if there was there's no way for the machine to connect to the internet.  Fucking ridiculous.

    This isn't the first time I have heard this happening. They must have some timer or requirement/expectation for the computer to connect to the internet within that time you mentioned instead of using common sense and just wait until it does connect and do its task.  I mean seriously... a cocmputer not connected to the internet 1. doesn't need updates as it is doing a job and the owner is satisfied with what is happening and how things are working and 2. won't harm other computers as it is air gapped and can't spread infections or other issues to other computers (since windows gives that free antivirus that they update )

    Had one of those 'cannot be avoided' Windows updates (AGAIN) and it ate all the saved tool boxes I had for GIMP.  Dockable dialogues and settings added piecemeal over the last two years gone because Microsoft wants to make my computer spool for 20 minutes and not UPDATE ANYTHING.  And I wasn't connected to the internet so there was literally nothing installed.

    I swear there has to be preplanned sabotage included in the OS.

    I suggest you get a cheap laptop or something and install Linux on it. Not that Linux won't break something when you update but it won't force a update and wouldn't try to update without any internet lol. That is just crazy.

    At a point when you believe you need to update you can back up or image the computer and do the backup. If it works find after it you can continue if not just restore the backup. You can even have the OS install on an external drive and migrate your settings and data over as needed. Just copy and paste. Finally, Unless I am mistaken, GIMP is developed primarily on Linux and then ported over to Windows so It likely would run better on Linux but I honestly haven't used it extensively on either Windows or Linux

    A diabetic can and will get paralysis of their digestive system. It is one of the effects of the disease. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-and-gastroparesis Mostly for Type 1 diabetics sometimes Type 2 can get it in 10 years.  (often it is due to eating improperly. Large heavy meals constantly etc.) Eating as you should, greatly minimizes this along with kidney, vision (yes diabetics can go blind normally if not controled) and nerve damage (which actually caused the paralysis in the first place along with foot tingles etc. )

    https://www.drugs.com/ozempic.html  Which isn't FDA approved for weight loss. ;)  I don't know of any doctor that would use this as a first use med unless requested by the patient. If then, only if they are deadly overweight. (like 100 pounds more on a 5fit tall person) 

    Funny thing is they give the amount of weight loss over a comple of months. If you cut 500 to 800 cal out of your diet (basically eating less carbohydrates and crap food) you will loose the same amount of weight. You can mix and match that with some walking or extra simple activities and loose weight. (provided you don't have a medical issue that prevents this. This is extremely rare. most people that are fat is because they eat too much or eat the wrong stuff.

    Blindness, lol. You would think as bad as the FDA is, they would make sure a medicine didn't cause blindness if used correctly. Also, what doctor would prescribe it if it did?

    @Kendo 2 didn't hear about the antifreeze stabilizers.. lol. Also, whoever thought they use stem cells from aborted fetuses, really needs to be put in an institution. Their brains are broken. Seriously, gradeschool biology covers stem cells and what they are and such. Fuck a simple google search for a decent medical site would give you decent information.

    Prepared food you get is packed full of starch/sugars much hidden behiind complex names that people just can't understand. Same with salt. Eat fresh, fruit, veggies, eggs, cheese and meat and you will greatly improve any health issue you have. The food is making people sick. Just look at the obesity records from 70s when they allow High Frutose Corn Syrip to be used in food to now. it is clear. I wish I lived closer to the country so that I could get frresh food easier.

    Stepping off my soap box now. lol

    WildLife has anyone played it?

    I guess you could get the Patron one if it has the tools you need to do what you want. Skip other months until there is a good release again that has features you want. However, in the end you won't own the game if they sell it I assume you would only have the last Alpha or Beta that they released. That and you likely will be paying more in the long run. Something like this would need to be really worth it. Some of what you have shown @endgameaddiction is very useful and valuable. Another concern is they can change stuff later and block much of what you can do to mod the game now.

    Hopefully there is a confirmed path mentioned in the Patron for when /if they release it. What they wlil do etc.

    Another thing I was thinking of, is they might not release it as a game at all. Just keep on having an old "free version" on Steam and have patron access to all the good stuff that they developed. Others could create patrons as a partner for mods and tools and it wouldln't ever officially see the light of day. They could have a continuious stream of $$$

    A few years ago I mentioned (I believe shortly after Fallout 4 release ) that LL should have an game that can be modified from the ground up. Start a framework for a new game instead of reverse engineering a game to create a frame work for an exsisting game. People could add to it as they wanted. This seems like the game I mentioned. Lots of flexiblity, easy to change and mod.

    I forgot that the Steam version doesn't have all the features the Patreon version does. It won't have. It doesn't have poser or edit sex scenes. So, there's the choice of forking up $10 for the Patreon version, or... there's the alternative. :huh:

    Is that 10 dollars for one time purchase or monthly.
