I’m just speculating, but it sounds like he’s in denial about his sexuality. Not attracted to a girl, but forcing himself. Enjoys gay porn, which straight guys don’t. So either bi or gay. Probably scared to admit and if you admitted first, he’d feel safer, but that would be hugely risky for you. As he cold shun that and cut you off anyway. Folk can burn friendships with folk they’re attracted to because hope springs eternal, but eventually it gets too painful. Rather than be honest why, deflecting on to the other person feels safer to him.

You guys are very close and some straight guys wouldn’t be comfortable with that. I’d hug a close friend, but not a prologed “cuddle” and it’d definitely be standing. So the situation is definitely not something I’m used to or have experience in.

One thing you haven’t mentioned is whether you are gay or bi, or whether you’re attracted to him, because if you aren’t, it’s all kind of irrelevant. You cannot really control how he reacts or what he chooses to do.

Be warned, I’m thinking our loud. You are responsible for your choice’s and are the one to face any repercussions.

Is it even open source? If not, you can trust it as much as you trust any company with a profit motive.

Why does it make you angry?

Bad? Who gives a damn what happens in a Nazi bar. Don’t go in.

Sims 4 works fine on Steam. Not tried Sims 3.

Source available fails on principles of open source. Such as the right to modify and distribute.

Cool. Looks fun. Thanks.

What game is that?

Out of curiousity. How do you feel OSRS dictates and how do they do different?

Not noticed it and fuck those websites. Happy to boycott.

Wait? They didn’t test it and didn’t delay when they knew it wasn’t feature complete? The failure wasn’t with junior devs.

Weird. It’s mostly techie nerds. Not all lefties are communists.

Yeah. That got me too. A full stop doesn’t hurt.

Well if the rent and costs are higher than revenue, it’ll bleed and eventually kill the business. Bricks and Mortar stores don’t make as much as before.

How many GameStop shops do you actually need near you? Sounds like your area was oversubscribed.

Many great brands have died to Amazon in the UK. One day, we’ll only have these big shitty businesses. Anything that can keep bricks and mortar stores in business is probably necessary.

Didn’t expect them to be buying eBay though. That came out the blue.

Works on desktop, so would assume multi system.

It does matter. I signed up to lemm.ee originally. The 4th biggest instance It is no more and my account and a few communities went with it. That risk still exists on mastodon.

So this is basically a rebrand of fiverrr or whatever it’s called?

American forum?

It was made by French communists and most instances exist outside America. For the record, I regularly complain about my country. It’s just my regularity is no where near as regular as the daily wtf that is America.

I used to have crackling issues with pulseaudio. It needed restarting constantly. Not issue since the switch to pipewire. So my experienced was the absolute opposite of yours.

Nice. Back down to 2.17% next month.

Steams survey doesn’t seem to be very consistent.
