I keep going back to Star Trek Online for some star ship pew pew. I usually get a month or two in going back over the story arcs and participating in events until the constant event schedule makes me realize I’m trapped in the grind and not playing any other games. So I drop it to break free and play the rest of my game library. The community isn’t something I really interact with as pretty much all of the game content is playable solo or antisocial (the team content is easy enough you can just random queue and don’t really have to talk or strategize with them). It is overwhelmingly PvE (though PvP is technically in the game) and it has some fun lore if you are a Star Trek fan.
After reading the Jon Ronson book “So you’ve been publicly shamed” where he interviewed a load of people that were outed for both bigger and smaller ‘crimes’, no, I don’t agree with it. Doxxing and other public shaming can have consequences you could not expect.
Plus, what if you get the ID wrong and dox someone innocent? That happens all the time too.
Never before in history have minor disputes been able to be aired to millions of people over the internet. I think it makes the response a bit disproportionate.
WoW, but with short and longer breaks. It’s a massive time sink, and I simply do not have the time that WoW demands in order to accomplish most of the things.
It can be an enjoyment, can be fun, can also cause you to burnt out so fast.
I’d recommend watching Josh Strife Heyes videos on MMOs, but if you want an overview, the biggest ones are WoW, FFXIV, and Guild Wars 2. I’d recommend the latter.
As a disclaimer, I am very casual with my game play, but I do love me some MMOs.
I was playing New World pretty much since it’s release and I’ve loved every minute. Good graphics, ok story line, cool combat, no subscription (which is a big factor for me since I’m so casual). Pvp, pve, raids are relatively new, good community from what I’ve seen.
From my understanding is that if you play a bunch of hours everyday and grind, grind, grind, you’ll quickly be bored since there’s lack of end game content, but I haven’t been bored at my pace.
I’ve recently downloaded and have been playing Starfield, so I haven’t been playing NW since, but I do miss NW.
I wish that they would add real controller support to NW. I started playing at launch but I really prefer the recliner gaming of consoles and the new wave of pc handhelds like the steam deck. I sit at a desk all day for work, I don’t want to game there too.
You can rig steam up to play NW with a controller kind of but it does get annoying with the trade offs.
Missing civilians are not soldiers. People are experiencing the social consequences of their actions when they get blowback for destroying a missing persons poster.
As someone who medically needed one as an adult. I both appreciate my parents for not doing it to me as a child and have the horrible perspective of how painful this actually is.
You’re a monster if you do this to a baby. I barely survived it as a full grown man.
This is a very personal question, and I know I’m not entitled to an answer, but curiosity has gotten the better of me: why was it required in your case?
This clearly isn’t a pleasant memory, so feel free to ignore me. Either way, thanks!
So I kept getting infections down there. This would usually occur due to hygiene. Now before you write me off as a basement dwelling Reddit moderator, the issue only occurred when I would have long layovers at the airport or would go for a weekend camping trip where I couldn’t properly wash myself down there to the fullest extent.
The worst one was finally from a 72 hour delay where I was stuck in the airport. After that infection I had enough and asked the doctor why this was such a big problem for me. He recommended due to the frequency of the issue to have it removed. I have not had infection down there since the operation, despite my activity or plans.
Doxxing someone for doing something that’ll make a lot of people angry is a dangerous game and should not be done unless you’re 100% sure you’d be ok with their blood being on your hands for exposing them to their would be attackers.
That said, poster rippers are mad about the right thing but at the wrong people. Those hostages are victims just as much as the people stuck in Gaza between the leviathans of Bibi and Hamas.
This happened to a Muslim dentist here in Miami. He lost his job as a result. He later clarified he did it to deescalate the situation and promote peace. But the damage has already been done and he is now an antisemite to many.
Did he also explain how tearing down the poster of a missing child would deescalate the situation and promote peace? This line of causation doesn’t seem obvious to me.
Assuming this is in the USA it’s either family that is hurting and wants to show it, or, more likely, some White National Christian Fashists who see this as a possibility for a new PizzaGate/Adrenochrome panic, this time with actual children involved, but as usual with call to actions that help no one but hurt innocent bystanders.
