  • I get that Nord is annoying with the amount of sponsorship deals they do, and that they’re probably not a VPN people should trust (or at least high risk people), but YouTubers do have to eat and pay bills man. I skip almost every sponsor I see, as they usually never offer anything I need, but I understand why creators do them.

    It’s a necessary evil, as many people (like me) are not going to pay a YT every month to help keep their channel up, especially if you watch many. This is the issue PeerTube has preventing it from being a place that draws in more creators; you can only generate revenue from the charity and kindness of viewers.

    Of course some are purely doing channels as a hobby, but there are many who need their channel to live, or have this as a side-gig so they don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck. So can we not judge?




  • Would be nice if that community didn’t just post “Bezos bad” and actually gave tips on reducing Amazon use, but it’s a newer comm with little traction…

    Edit: Some of y’all missed the point lol. I don’t use Amazon, but it makes it extremely hard to find shit that isn’t being sold in stores near me. How about promoting other websites/ways to get things, rather than preaching about Bezos being evil. I know he’s evil, it’s why I don’t use Amazon, but TEACH people where else they can go.

    It’s the equivalent of going “Sex is bad kids” but then not actually teaching safe sex, condom use, STIs, etc.







  • And thirdly, because Romans, like we do in the modern day, found dicks hilarious, and would give them legs, wings, or depict them fighting with their owners, in addition to scribbling them everywhere. … some things never change.

    Yeah, I did a trip to Italy a few years ago and found souvenir stone/wooden dicks with dinosaur tails and other silly things in a market at Pompeii.

    Some people in HS absolutely reeked of weed, and one day before class someone spayed some apple scented air freshener to cover themselves. I joked “Ahh yes. I love the apple and dumpster fire weed smell, it really mixes well”

    Like that shit is not saving you, stop trying to pretend like you don’t smell like weed



  • Just curious, do they do this 50% off sale every year?

    I have a huge backlog of games but I’m eyeing the Remake Intergrade + Rebirth pack as someone who hasn’t played any FF game besides XV yet. I plan to go through the others and then do VII last (that or X). Also Intergrade includes everything from reg + the Yuffie DLC, right?

    Edit: Do the PC remakes have performance issues? I don’t need perfect graphics but I’ve heard there’s more stuttering compared to PS5. After watching some performance comparison videos and reading reviews it’s clear the PC port has a lot of issues… Guess I’ll wait for a PS5 copy sale 😅


  • Honestly, getting rid of any chat (voice/text) and DM features would would help. I don’t think kids should completely lose online gaming, just make it almost impossible to communicate with anyone on said game. I played a shit ton of Mario Kart and Splatoon online as a kid, but neither of those games offer personal messages/chat features (unless you set them up via app), so I imagine grooming would be almost impossible.

    I don’t want to take Roblox away from kids, as I understand how fun it was growing up, especially if you can’t afford a console/games at home. But chat has to be either heavily moderated, or just entirely removed imo.
