@RustyCrab Don't think that bad names are limited to Linux ecosystem, but it does suffer the most there I guess. As much as I love KDE... "Kcalc", "Kate", "Konsole", "K3b", "Kasts"... just... stop...

@RustyCrab k3b is for DVD burning, though it's understandable that people have forgotten about that. Kate is the text editor.... a damn good text editor, but you wouldn't know to search for it if you weren't on a KDE distro.

@LukeAlmighty And that's how you find out I never played League.

In that case... hhmmm... if that's game audio (not just interface language) my assumption would be that they're packaging their game based on geographic regions, to reduce size. Which again, makes Greek being there very odd. And it's still be weird cause there would be better ways to package and distribute things.

@LukeAlmighty If they don't expect, or maybe want, the game to end up being played outside of this geographic area, this certainly is something they'd do. If anything, I find the inclusion of Greek weirder, cause they're further away from the rest.
My initial assumption was that this was some random app (only words I recognize there are "chat" and "client"). And that would definitely have more reasons to be geographically restricted. If it's a game, that does make it a bit more unusual, but not outside the scope of possibility imo.

As for why you wouldn't want to sell a game to a world wide audience, maybe dealing with American, UK, or other countries' legal stuff is too much for a small dev team. But again, I'm making assumptions about what kind of game, and how big it is.

If it's a small East European team, small game, and especially if we're talking early access, or early version, lack of language options doesn't seem particularly weird.

If on the other hand, this is a game the size of even classic WoW, sure, that would be fucking weird. Or if this were a game made by Koreans. Then it literally wouldn't make sense. Context matters, and I have little context to go on.

@LukeAlmighty If it's something made for Eastern Europe, it doesn't seem that weird. But I have no idea what this is, so :blobshrug:

Actually 🤓, all roads lead back to chess.
iirc, chess might be one of the oldest games we know people played.

@mischievoustomato I see... that's the difference. I don't spend much time on twkn anymore. And I definitely don't make accounts on instances I'm not familiar with before hand.

@mischievoustomato
I'm starting to get concerned as to how you're finding these, and how do you know they're pedo instances?

@p @TheMadPirate @phnt
We love you very much P. Please take your meds.

Maybe I should just give up on the internet... how the fuck are you people still posting these soyjack comics? I get a visceral disgust reaction every time I see one. You ever seen one of those botched trans surgeries? My disgust towards a soyjack is probably a few times over what those bring up. So again, how the fuck are you people still postings these abominations?

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty
You're running into the she issue again, Watch Dogs was GTA meets Assassin's Creed. Open city always leads to GTA.

@icedquinn
Does this mean I'm the government?

I was thinking about this a few months ago too, but then I decided to stop worrying about it, cause I'm afraid it would give YouTube ideas.

Hasan Piker was banned for a whole 24 hours.... Twitch is such a joke.

@BasedLunatic @mischievoustomato
There are some things I'm more old school, maybe dare I say it conservative, with. And if I don't see a person's face directly, their smile, if I can't shake their hand, or hug them, it just feels awkward for me to use the word "friend". I've had friendly feelings towards people online. Absolutely. There are people I like, who I enjoy talking with.

But there is something about the online separation that makes it different. I could close this account right now, make a different account under a different username somewhere else, literally no one would know, and I could instantly break every relationship I have here. That's not something I can do IRL.
Friends either know where I live, or know other friends of mine that do. I've got friends that know my family. I can't instantly break offline friendships by just changing a phone number and ghosting them. And the same goes the other way around. It's easy to lose track of someone online, it's harder to do it offline.
So as much as I might like someone, this ultimately tells me there is something fundamentally different between a friendly relationship here, and one IRL.

I don't think it has to do with atheism. I think it's a more conservative view of things, and atheism and conservatism are not that correlated.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
Sargon being a monarchist would make some sense, considering his country does have a king. (though I avoid saying "his country is lead by a king" cause UK's monarchy has been defanged long ago).
Lately he's been using the term "traditionalist" to describe himself... which is interesting.

@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter
Pretty sure he means Dev. Dev doesn't call himself classical liberal. I see him more like a 90s-2000s liberal, that can't accept what his side has become.

So he forced himself into a weird position, where he still wants to be the 90s liberal that blames all societies evils on the right and conservatives, but he also needs to push back on leftists, because he's aware that if left unchecked, it will cause a backlash that will empower the right.

Which is not exactly new, a lot of political commentators realized this about the current leftists. But most simply focus all their power on attacking the left, because they know the right by itself doesn't actually have any bite right now.

Dev on the other hand, pretends we're still in the 90s, and that the right is just as powerful and dangerous as antifa commies. Because at his core, he is a liberal leftie, and he just uses the "centrist" label as a cover for his instinctual need to attack the right by default.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
If I had a penny for every time someone wasn't on good talking terms with Dev...
He still manages to hold onto a decent public image, but I swear, behind the scenes there's probably something deeply wrong with him.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
>They got into an argument in a d&d campaign
Again?! I know they've had campaigns for years, but I don't follow their D&D stuff. But every once in a while Vee will mention that there'll be an argument with either Dev or Rags that derails things.

@icedquinn
Clueless shark? You mean this one :gura: ?
