Hey all,
No worries if this gets removed, but yesterday I saw an account post up a link to Goblingram being sold on the MTG TikTok shop. Here's a link again (without referral code) - https://www.tiktok.com/view/product/1729473288160055619
I know there was some worry that the shop selling it wasn't an official Wizards shop because they haven't added in a logo or anything, but I'm an avid sealedmtgdeals visitor and wanted to clarify for all of you that they are actually selling this drop directly through the TikTok shop.
You can check my post history - I'm a long time gaming creator and Wizards reached out and sent me the drop early so that I could promote it on my TikTok via the affiliate program. Here's a link to that video- https://www.tiktok.com/@travisgafford/video/7371250482695785759?lang=en
I'm writing this not to promote the drop or to encourage any of you to buy it. Don't buy it, buy it through the official website vs TikTok, do whatever you'd like!
I just wanted to clarify it here because I like this community a lot and figured a lot of you would find it interesting that Wizards, at least in this case, is trying out TikTok shop for a drop. I'm not aware of them selling Secret Lair outside of their own store, with the exception of MagicCons and the Hasbro site on rare occassions. I'm curious if Memorial Day TT coupons will end up working on it soon.
Also, apologies in advance, as I know people have mixed feelings about TikTok shop here (as seen with the Forge and Fire a few months ago).

I voted Green last election. The stakes are far too high to do that this election.
Well-meaning left-leaning voters are going to hand the election to Higgs by splitting the left vote. It is too close of a race to be playing the game of:
“But the two party system is stupid”
Or
“Green party aligns more with my views”
This is a Higgs or No Higgs election and a vote for Green is a vote for Higgs.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I'd love to rebuild my social life and surround myself with wonderful friends from all over the world (and more, I hope) :) We can talk about anything you want except WORK, STUDIES or MONEY (we're here to build friendships, not business haha). Let's keep it exciting and deep, forget about all these boring topics that say nothing about us anyway! I'm ready to be here for you in good and bad times, we can joke or get deep! ^^
I am very enthusiastic about all kinds of knowledge (science, languages, psychology, you name it!) so let's share some with each other! I occasionally play games, take care of my garden and all living creatures around me ^^ Don't feel any pressure if you don't feel like the most interesting person around (I don't fell like that either), I care about who you are, not what you do in your free time!
Contact me on Reddit if you're interested but before you do that:

1. I'm against any voice calls, video calls or exchanging photos at first. I'm here to know your personality, not appearance. If I was into it, I'd just chat with people on the street haha ^^
2. Sometimes it's very hard to balance my responsibilities and free time so if I don't respond straight away - don't get discouraged. You're still important, I just can't get to you quicker!
3. Let's not rush things. Let's not do any "interviews" because it just feels unnatural. Friendships grow overtime and thing such as more delicate topics require patience and deeper connection - we either have chemistry or we don't! I'm pretty sure many of us have been through a lot in their lives so let's be understanding ^^
4. If it doesn't work out between us - please don't stalk me, add me from different accounts and call names. I already have enough of that because of my gender, I'll just ignore you and think nothing more of it ^^
5. If you don't agree with my boundaries - just ignore my post and don't try to dispute anything. These are the things I feel comfortable and UNCOMFORTABLE with and you won't change my mind just like I won't change yours. I will ignore all comments that are trying to "enlighten me", so please let's not waste time ^^ .

Thank you for reading and have a great day! (I prefer people 23-33, please try to write more than "Hi" or "Sup", it will be easier for us to start our friendship! ^^ Hit me up if you're interested!)

I'm having trouble picking Moonlight in Steam to add it as a "game".
Not sure how but I see two Moonlight icons on my task bar. In the properties they are:
com.moonlight_stream.Moonlight(1)
com.moonlight_stream.Moonlight
I only see one com.moonlight.stream.Moonlight in /valib/flatpak/repo/refs/heads/deploy/app.
I can delete one instance through Discover but the other remains and I still can't see it in Steam to pick it from the list to add.
Can I delete the other instance? How? Which files/folders do I delete? After I delete the one Discover no longer shows it as installed and gives me the Install option.

My Chihuahua had Been sick and I kept taking her to Vet. They did test and offered No solution why but she was in pain with her stomach. I kept her on pain meds and kept taking her back to the Vet. I was hard to pick her up as she was the larger Chi and I have scoliosis and had cancer. On her last day I asked my husband to help me as the Vet wanted me to bring her in As her left eye was very red. He couldn’t go as he was going to shoot pool with his friend. Asked for him to go and help.h he said no.i bought a buggy to help me. i put my Chi in the car on blankets on the floor. At the Vet I held her and rubbed herbelly and she laid against my chest. I kissed her and told her I loved her for 30 minutes waiting on another X ray. I was told we were done and being sent home with more pain meds and antibiotics. I put my baby in the buggy and was trying to zip it when she kep pushing her nose in the way. I gently pushed back 3 times and told her we were going home. I put her on the floor of the car and started home. She died on the floor. I feel so guilty. I’m mad at the vet.Did she know My dog was dieing. I hate my husband since he was a jerk and I said I needed help my dog.My back was hurting and my hip. His comment was everybody‘s got pain. my Heart hurts and I hate my husband . If he would have helped me, I could of held her and she wouldn’t die on the floor. My husband is retired. Is pool games with his buddies so important for one time? He claims he isn’t enjoying his retirement . My comment” I never stopped you from doing what you want” he blames me for my health. I have had 50 years too many with him. I’m at a cross road.

We have 300 sq feet to do. It's a living room. It's a house where we are moved out and selling. I don't want to spend a lot because there's a chance they will rip it out. Couldn't keep the existing floor because of pet damage. Realtor suggested brown LVP because that's what is in now. I found this in a blowout sale at a local place. My next stop would be LL flooring or Lowes to see what's cheap there. Anyone heard of this or have other recommendations? I need to buy it local because my dad is coming to install it on Thursday so it has to be in stock.

My fellow gamers, for too long has our community suffered the indignation of an intolerable culture that has denigrated, besmirched, exploited, and has outright demonized our culture of unique individuals with a genuine love of a hobby that they see as profitable and progressive. They have taken beloved IP’s (Intellectual Properties) and twisted them into their own personal ideological crusade of undermining and humiliating the core aspects of characters they deemed as “Toxic” or “White Supremacy”. Through the guise and protection of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity) & ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) they have used our influence in the entertainment industry to push their narratives and agendas that have stigmatized our culture with numerous anti-consumer practices that they call “being progressive”. But the truth of the matter is they were never really looking to be a part of our community, they simply wanted to use our community as a tool of activism and propaganda in the entertainment industry as it was extremely profitable, and they wanted inclusion in that division. Ever since GamerGate & Female Frequency, we have had to endure the incursion of forced ideologies, xenophobic behaviors and inferior overpriced products that have never been in our best interest and have been flat out disgraceful towards foreign media.
Before Gaming had become a major source of entertainment, we were often categorized as anti-social or societies rejects where because we found more enjoyment in playing fictional characters and not spending as much time out and about, we never fully assimilated in society (which is a good thing if you ask me). From 1998 to 2007, at the height of innovation, creativity and production, Gaming had reached a golden age in which it had revolutionized society. Hollywood Execs who had ruined the movie industry turned their attention to video games as a source of income since video games had outperformed movies in terms of profit. No one was concerned about gaming, much less diversity or inclusivity until it became profitable. This makes people like SBI look extremely disingenuous as they were not interested in gamers as a community with its own culture. They simply wanted to use it as another weapon in identity politics.
Microtransactions; the hidden enemy to gamer progress and inducer to mental laziness of our community. Microtransactions have been around for a long time; however, it has never been more potent and apparent than in recent years. It has aided in the dismantling and segregation of players on the ideology of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and has created another sub-culture of gamers who have no real drive to be better outside of how much money they put into the game. This has degraded our culture as well as we have become “fat” off transactional gaming but at the same time we have been “starved” of purposeful gaming where our achievements were our sustenance. I am not saying that microtransactions are bad, but when they are exploitative and predatorial like they have been and don’t give gamers room to grow, we become lethargic and unwilling to improve ourselves as gamers. Oversaturated microtransactional games are one of the many reasons why we have become complacent and unwilling to fight against the exploitative tactics used by big brand game companies such EA, Ubisoft, ActivisionBlizzard, NaughtyDog and so many other western business model companies. Western style games were not like this in the past, they had much more depth and actual effort put into them with the gamer in mind. This has not been the case for over a decade and our connection to western developers has been whittled down to just being transactional. That is one of the reasons why you see so many remasters and remakes in today’s gamer community. They have lost their willingness to improve as developers of games and simply accept corporate/share holder rules.
Game journalists also do not have any real integrity or purpose outside of being funded for their involvement in promoting IPG (Identity Political Games) in a positive light to the public whether it’s positively received or not. They are not interested in what we have to say, they all support the same agenda and that is why they are a dying breed. Within the next couple of years, they will be out of the job and more than likely they will not be able to stay in the industry giving how they have responded to past articles that have clearly been scripted on the premise of diversity and racism. Not only that, but most of them are also extremely hostile to the community as they stereotype and defame the individuals that are a part of the community they are supposed to serve. We have been mentally liberated from their lies and coercive tactics as we tend to laugh at their obvious attempt at virtue signaling while hiding their misdoings so that they can play the victim.
My gamer brothers & sisters, I would not suggest the following action that we must take now without good cause. I have weighed our options and the best option for us now is this…...CULTURAL SECESSION. Naturally this is a form of segregation where they would more than likely claim they are being segregated by the dominant culture of the gaming community but that is incorrect. For years now we have been the ones who are often marginalized and ostracized for the smaller portion of our community. And when we aren’t, we’re exploited for more funds so that these companies can stay in business only to subject us to low quality products that coincide with the “WOKE Agenda” that are often huge expenses to these big brands i.e. AAA/AAAA games that will eventually flop for its obvious forced diversity and bug infested product which will undoubtedly piss off the consumer to the point of wanting a refund. Losing copious amounts of capital and stock in the process, not to mention their reputation is permanently marred.
We must separate on every cultural level in terms of entertainment and ideology. We must reject everything from the west that promotes toxic western beliefs, practices, and exclusion from other cultures (i.e. Southeastern Countries such as Japan and Korea). Japan & Korea have been the targets of unjust discrimination from Western Developers, Western Journalists, Western Localizers (The Wokelizers) and Western Society Prejudice regarding their sense of aesthetics as Westerners hate the aesthetic sense of these countries. The reason why they resort to such base tactics isn’t just because it weaponizes the ideal female form but it’s also because they have deep-seated insecurities about their own looks so when they see attractive female characters, they use terms such as “unrealistic” or “hypersexualized” to establish the moral high ground. But the truth is, they want to feel superior to that which is ideal, so they insult and dehumanize this figure that portrays natural female beauty because they see it as an insult to their own social superiority in what they believe is a hierarchy of them being at the top of all other women. Because of this and so many contributing factors, their movies flop harder than the Fat Chocobo landing on a group of enemies and their games seismically fail just as much if not more. We must sever our connection to Western Developers, Publishers, and ALL Western-Centric Entertainment for they seek to mentally enslave us to their Xenophobic ideology.
Let’s define Western Culture and its traits. Western Culture/Society is composed of more than several different ideologies that work in unison with one another to facilitate dominance over multiple aspects of society. Business, Social, Political, Technological, and sometimes even Global Affairs are affected by these ideologies that portray a specific mindset of Western beliefs. What are those ideologies you ask?

• Perpetual Victimhood: By weaponizing the fact that they are marginalized and of a small portion of western society, they can push their agenda to absurd standards that ultimately ostracize the main demographic. And when companies don’t capitulate, they are labeled as anti-progressive/misogynist’s or cohorts of White Supremacy. They use this to cancel their targets and silence them through societal defamation to keep the public on their side. They also use this mindset to justify their own lack of self-agency as they tend to throw companies who do adhere to their demands but miserably fail to turn a profit under the bus so that they can maintain face in front of the public while denying their actual involvement. They will never accept “Sense of Agency” when it’s negative but will gladly accept it when a positive outcome shines on them as if they are entitled to it.

​

• Societal Terrorism: This is another form of ideology weaponization that they use in order to make companies “toe-the-line” with their agenda. By weaponizing cancel culture, they exert dominance over these companies but in exchange they also reimburse those companies with DEI & ESG funds that raise their credit score as well as having social status with the marginalized demographic. However; cancel culture has not succeeded in years and developers and publishers probably only want the money and the DEI ESG rating. But they have to maintain the image of having social economic power so that they can continue to strong-arm other developers into compliance and promoting financial benefits of DEI & ESG. In other words, if you are not for sale, they discredit and stigmatize you in the industry.

​

• “Its not us, its you who’s wrong” Mentality: This mentality is especially annoying as they tend to use it to hide their incompetence. They often look down upon gamers who are not in the industry to hide their obvious lack of knowledge on game development thinking that their job title grants them special status that they believe gives them the right to be condescending. But the truth they never wanted revealed has already strangled their careers of all credibility. They were never GAMERS, they were INVADERS. Community Colonists that seek to indoctrinate next generational gamers into their hive-mind and brand previous generations of gamers as villains.

​

• Double-standard Enforcement: By labeling something as “unrealistic” or “hypersexualized”, they can claim this is morally wrong if it promotes traditional dynamics between men and women. Heterosexual relationships are condemned while at the same time Same-sex relationships are praised. Additionally, heterosexual relationships with main white male characters turn antagonistic and spotlight stealing. This is deliberate as to promote the “Girl Boss” ideology to indoctrinate women into the Feminazi state of mind. While at the same time, should a male character also adopt the “I don’t need male/female” ideology its seen as Toxic Masculinity which isn’t even a real thing. The idea of a strong male character is taboo while enforcing strong female characters is the ideal.

​

• Dehumanization/Demonization: This is something that most military branches use in order to remove conscious inhibitions such as mass slaughter is wrong or categorization. By enforcing ideologies to denounce humanity in certain targets, it deactivates your conscience by saying this is not human therefore its ethically okay to treat this target without compassion and deny the fact it has sentience. We gamers fall under this category for journalists, developers, companies and society at large. This is a tactic we are familiar with to an extent as it implies that we are not normal when we do not do what everybody else is doing. “Geeks are the worse” or “Nerds need to fall into a pit of lava” are verbal dehumanization forms that most people in society say and we as Gamers tend to be relegated to those categories. This is their way of imposing the social hierarchy on us by establishing superiority. We know this as Gamers as we see it very often in the games that we play and some times experience it in real life.

​

• Deflection/Projection: This is basic psychology 101. By redirecting the conversation away from their mistakes and back on to the opposing view to avert blame and justify their innocence they can avoid criticism. However; deflection is a CONSCIOUS decision, meaning they have no real argument to justify their incompetence. If you can consciously process the situation, you have self-agency which means you don’t have a legitimate excuse. Projection is something else entirely. Most times, Projection doesn’t work on conscious decisions rather it is automatically deployed when feeling threatened, anxious or both. Instead of accepting accountability for feelings or actions that are deemed socially unacceptable they accuse others of committing that unacceptable behavior thereby exonerating themselves and proving that those feelings and/or actions are not their own.

These traits are so nefarious and unconscionable that I have a hard time believing that anyone could harbor them. However, given the social, political, and economic climate that we are in, those in power who use their influence on controlling society most definitely possess these insidious traits. Everything that they do is all about control and since video games are the biggest market in the world, they want control over it and the communities built around it to accrue more wealth and to use that wealth to subjugate other cultures. Mainstream media is a tool as well as mainstream organizations and sites to help accomplish this goal.
The government recently announced its intentions towards what they believe is “GamerGate 2.0” and now even the ADL has made an official appearance, referring to gamers as “extremist’s”. We know EXACTLY what they are doing, and they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore because they don’t think we are aware of their motives. This is just a pretext for them to exert even more control and we know why, it’s because they want the influence we as a community have to must serve them. So here is what we do my fellow gamers-
“In light of recent events and years of mainstream stigma, we the members of the Global Gaming Community [GGC] must officially renounce ALL TIES to the corporate western video game market. We have been financially exploited through predatorial monetization schemes, pelted with numerous articles of disdain and intentional misrepresentation from game journalists, news outlets regarding us as dangerous individuals and, even subjected to inferior products not only riddled with bugs but also products meant to push political agendas. For the preservation of our community and its unique culture, apart from a few select game development studios we officially sever all connections to western owned video game companies & their mainstream affiliates. From this point onward, we will no longer support western corporate developers, journalists and publishers that do not coincide with the goals of our community.”
Naturally this is completely optional. If you are okay with the state of the gaming community as it is, feel free to ignore this. But if you wish for real change and a break away from oversaturated monetization in the games you play and the push for radical ideological reform, then you are in the right place. Lets sever these rotted miasmic ties once and for all so that our community can be preserved and made better for future gamers. If you agree with this, share it with whoever you think might be interested. The more gamers who get involved, the easier it will be for us to finally break free from mainstream game companies and their associates.

Hey,
this is my first PC build and I'm still very inexperienced. I would really appreciate feedback and suggestions for improvement on this build. I will be using the PC primarily for gaming. I could go a little over this price if it was worth it.

I will be starting my sophomore year after 2 months, currently on a break after first year. I had a basic electronics class in which I enjoyed the digital design section. Going through the posts in this sub I have realized learning C, C++, Python and Bash are helpful. I would be grateful if anyone could guide me as to what concepts I would have to cover. Would completing the CS50P course by Harvard be enough for Python, what libraries would I have to focus on? I had learnt quite a bit about 4 months back but never really used it so will have to brush up and continue where I left off.
I am comfortable with Linux terminal commands and have learnt basic bash from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK9Oc6AEnR4 (The topics covered are listed in the description)
This doc elaborates on my knowledge in C- https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRhePzi91Jc5u7KeShRC8pKyxeZS8u_by71hSecUJPv3a7CYxYN7RyGXfvsUPyncqcQ5Ie5LOT57Q9w/pub All of the above was part of Introduction to Computing course in my second semester I have some basic knowledge in C++, upto vectors and arrays. I haven't really tried dynamic memory allocation, structs, unions and stuff in C++ . I did learn basic C++ before learning C so never tried whatever is highlighted to be yellow in the doc in C++.
Since I enjoyed the digital design course in my first semester I have been wanting to brush up and continue, I am using the book Digital Design and Computer Architecture, RISC-V by Harris and Harris to get started. This book also teaches Verilog at some point, I have absolutely no experience with that.
