I want something more complex than a basic whitelist and blacklist. I already use that in Firefox and it helps somewhat but not wholly. I want to manage specifically when it happens and in accordance to said lists. I haven't found anything that handles that in the settings.

There was one extension I used in Chrome that I haven't found a Firefox replacement for, but I stopped trying to look a while ago and just live without it.

Was a specific kind of cookie manager: you could whitelist a set of websites to keep their cookies. Everything else would be deleted when you told the extension to do so.

Too many websites need cookies that stick around indefinitely. But I also don't want to delete everything everytime I close Firefox, because I may want to keep a website around for a few days without wanting to bother adding it to a whitelist.

I cannot be 100% certain but I'm confident I was using it not long after the 1.0 release. That'd put me at 2004. 19 years!

Although I did briefly switch over to Chrome when it was new and fast. Then switched back when Firefox had a major optimization pass.

The modern republican electoral ecosystem is sustained through rage and hatred. Their entire campaign strategy is built around the assumption of having a target of some form. Republican voters are simply not able to be activated to go vote (and to stay voting republican) in sufficient quantities without a rage-hate target.

Republicans fundamentally need something to target and hate and be rage filled about. Whether it's gay marriage, Obamacare, abortion, ebola (remember that in 2014? forgotten the day after the election), immigrants, mask mandates, critical race theory... They need something, anything, no matter how illogical, unethical, or completely incoherent it might be. They do not care about any of those negative details.

Trans people became the conservative rage-hate target of the moment. They throw everything at the wall and this was the target that stuck for the present day.

Republicans are fueled by hate. Issues do not matter to them. Hate and anger matter to them.

Only thing I'd dispute here is the "after that" part — republicans and conservatives in general are already coming for LGB, women, and minorities. Transphobia is their smokescreen / highest priority, rather than a first step. If they succeed (I hope not!) that will result in more of their energy going into attacking the other marginalized groups, rather than starting to attack those groups.

I feel the core genre identity of RPG is a known thing and not as uncertain as you paint it. There's the iron-clad center-point with CRPGs and JRPGs. Then games that venture off from those identities into more action-y RPGs (a la The Witcher or Mass Effect). Or games that go more action-y but in a different way (Diablo-clones). There's games expanding out from the JRPG core like tactical RPGs (though there's an intersection with CRPGs somewhere there e.g. X-Com). And so on.

Sure, there will be games out there where people will ask "is this truly an RPG?" but that doesn't mean the genre itself is fuzzy and poorly grasped, even if it will be difficult to come across a satisfying definition.

The name itself is vague and a poor guide... but that's true across most gaming genres. People use "strategy" in shooters or RPGs or puzzle games, but we all know what a Real Time Strategy game is. Almost every game has "action" and a smaller but still nearly-every game has "adventure" to it, but action-adventure is another known quantity. I'm not sure there's any genre that is perfectly encapsulated within the name given to it, or one where there are not people questioning games at the fringes of that genre.

I grabbed this in the recent Steam sale. I love it. The Diablo-esque atmosphere was something that I particularly enjoy. The trait system along with the memory+doubling flasks can be "abused" to create some satisfyingly powerful characters.

I put a good amount of time into it already. I think I'll leave it back on my shelf until they have their 1.0 release, whenever that might be — end of the year?

I'm in New England, so similar levels of cold winters as MN and most of Canada by population. Really it's something you adapt to and it becomes your normal.

Sometimes you cannot go out, even for work, because of a giant snow storm. Sometimes you need to wear a heavy duty coat to go to work or go grocery shopping. That's about it. When you're inside and it's cold you have the heat on and wear nice socks/slippers.

The nice thing about the cold is you can always put more clothes on, add more heat. There only so many layers of clothes you can remove to deal with hot weather...

Other than the nightly shows, you won't be seeing the impacts of these strikes for months. Films and shows take a lot of time to go from inception to finished product. For movies I wouldn't be surprised if the impact doesn't happen until next year.

Yes. It's not the most graphically demanding game so hardware wise it isn't much of a test of a new PC. It is, however, rather aesthetically beautiful and worth going for in the context of what you're going for, IMO.

The sole DLC/expansion for CP2077 is coming out this fall. If you've waited this long you might as well wait for it to be complete before you revisit it.

I've been waiting for the DLC before doing a first foray, personally.

The DGA ratified an agreement last month. If they hadn't, we would have three major video unions on strike instead of two.
