Attn Kamloops, do you know what data centers do to natural resources, pollution they cause both noise and otherwise and more?

Unfortunately, Mango has declined further. She went to the vet again, but they still don't know what's wrong. She is still pretty young for a conure, being 15, and I want to try to save her. Please, if you're able to help out at all, my PayPal is [email protected] and my venmo is amandabl89

few thoughts on Bael too (a bit more positive)
Something I did like about Renegades, all things considered, was the making of a villain. Personally, a villain who's actually just Some Guy is a lot more compelling than yet another godlike entity or some overpowered alien emperor or whatever. And yes I do acknowledge that VI is still in the picture. Two things I liked about Bael's story is that he turns out to be some random fella who happened to go through major trauma which served as basis for his eventual villainhood; and that his motives would be pretty reasonable if it wasn't for that specific trauma and his subsequent turn to evil ways. For what it's worth, humanity's current 'government' is incredibly flawed. The factions were pretty awful, but the Alliance is even worse - with other races being actually represented by their elected leaders while Humanity is not. Guardians are de facto rulers without ever being elected or challenged. Bael's hatred for the Light shouldn't be excused but is understandable. Losing someone you love, having time to grief, and then seeing them alive only to realize they'll never remember you could drive anyone nuts. When that same 'force' prints out superhumans who essentially rule over you by the right of their power, it would only radicalize you more. That's not to say his *actions* could be excused, but his motives can definitely be understood. And that story is lot more interesting to unravel than another big bad who wants to rule the world because they want to. If anything, I would be curious to know if the Vanguard eventually acknowledges how flawed their system is and puts some form of elections in place to ensure proper reflection and transition of power. After all, it's been hundreds of years and over a dozen crises in the past few, humanity should be more than well-adjusted to do more than simple survival by now. We had the factions, we saw how flawed they were. Maybe it's time to rebuild the society to reflect that power - Light, or otherwise - does not and should not equal leadership.

anyways it's officially less than one week until Old Peace releases and consumes my entire soul for at least two months

here's a photo from a Drifter x Minerva shoot that was intended to be friendship-themed but instead became queer pride coded (affectionate)
A photo from Warframe showing the Drifter - the player character - making a heart sign with her hands while Minerva - a Protoframe based on Saryn - stands behind her with one hand hovering over the Drifter's shoulder. Both women are wearing shades of pastel pink, purple and blue, with neon-yellow accents for glows. Their outfits are a mix of futuristic and glamorous style. The environment in the background looks industrial, with metal walls, neon banners and wires.

if this is indeed the case, we should have learned about it from BOTH sony and bungie well in advance (at the very least before most of us paid tons of money for all those deluxe editions)

we should have gotten official statements AND an apology, along with clear refund paths.

not crickets.

i heard through the grapevine the geolocation shadow ban is "outside their control" and won't be resolved for months yet, if it is. so sounds like a sony mandate.

Our conversation with @psalmlab.bsky.social inspired me to write some words about Aunor's involvement in d2's current story so these here are SPOILERS for Renegades campaign, proceed with caution

Wrote about why Osiris worked where Aunor doesn't.
Let me start by saying I actually enjoyed Aunor's writing and character growth so this isn't coming from someone who just dislikes her lol A lot of people whined about Lightfall being "bad" but IMO it actually gave us some incredible writing (and acting!) in Osiris and his story. With both him and Aunor becoming "the DLC's mentor" for the Guardian, I wanted to point out why Osiris's journey made sense within the story while Aunor's journey seems forced (haha force) and out of place. At the time of Lightfall's events, Osiris is very much struggling with his place among the Guardians - being lightless and losing what essentially made up a huge part of his life and personality, let alone a close friend (plus, obviously, the aftermath of him being Savathun's puppet etc etc). TLDR he goes through a TON of character development prior to the DLC's events - and not just in obscure lore books, but alongside our Guardian, with their involvement. So when Lightfall happens, we've already been familiar with Osiris since the CoO storyline and basically throughout the years after that. Him becoming our mentor isn't some coincidence, it's a direct result of many, many events involving both our characters (and others). It also serves as an important character development for him. The LF story begins with him being reckless, pushing people away, acting like he still has the Light (and being pissed that he actually doesn't), and being generally insufferable to anyone who wasn't with him all these years and isn't attached to him as a character. Gradually, he finds meaning in teaching the Guardian how to master Strand - something that many people disliked about the DLC but something that genuinely plays really well into his story and ours. You can *feel* the change in his demeanor as he teaches us and finds himself to be useful, powerful and important - even without his Light. It's a beautiful story, regardless of how you feel about Lightfall as an expansion. So why doesn't Aunor's story feel the same? There are two reasons. 1) We only interact with her - indirectly - during Drifter's allegiance quest (a perfect example of how even an illusion of player agency can actually make the Guardian's actions feel important and impactful - if only Bungie realized how desperately the game needs it). From that, we pretty much just learn how zealous she is and how much she dislikes Drifter and his shenanigans. After that however, she's only found in lore books and tabs, and we don't interact with her for six whole years. The only opinion of her character comes from something we *may or may not read* in the game or elsewhere, not from our personal experience with her. 2) When it's convenient for Bungie to introduce a character that gives us a lightsaber though, she's suddenly front and center. Not in Beyond Light, when we first started using Stasis. Not in Lightfall, when we started using Strand. Not in any other storyline where the Guardian gets dangerously close to using the Darkness powers. It's only when we need to witness a cinematic lightsaber duel and think "wow I want that thing too". Later on, when she offers to become our mentor, we don't even get to choose how to respond to that - she just leaves. No "yeah I actually wanted to join the Order", no "I don't like your methods but I'm in no position to argue right now" - nothing. It is assumed that we're okay with some stranger showing us the ropes, however redundant that may be. She doesn't really *teach* us anything either - it's just a promise of a mentorship that we didn't choose to accept, and it changes nothing about how we approach the rest of the story. Now, again, I do enjoy her writing and character growth. But she feels like an excuse to give the player a lightsaber, instead of a character who actually needed to be there - for us, or for others. And to me it just feels like a wasted opportunity, especially given the multiple retcons that never needed to happen.

because it's not about what a specific game shows or implies, but about steam giving zero shits when it comes to countless other games depicting and implying similar/same things

they either don't allow any games with such themes, or allow all of them
destinlegarie.bsky.social Destin @destinlegarie.bsky.social · 1d
Horses shows "abuse, gory imagery (mutilation, blood), depictions of slavery, physical and psychological torture, domestic abuse, sexual assault, suicide"

It also implies someone is r*ped until they die. It's implied someone comitts necrophillia on the corpse.

Why are we mad about this ban?

Important to note that the reason RAM is more expensive isn't because OpenAI is ransacking store shelves and buying all the retail stock.

They aren't using those. Instead "AI" companies dumped an insane amount of money on RAM manufacturers to tie up their production lines with parts "AI" needs.
