    It’s a bit ambitious for just myself but I want to make a fork of Mortal Online 2 but for NA and have the melee mechanics mimic Chivalry 2.

    But I haven’t been able to really code much at all being in this bootcamp full time to change career paths from software development to cyber security on top of working a few other jobs. I also have a plethora of other ideas once this bootcamp ends and I can hopefully find something stable.

    Very true! But I think how said technology is presented and making it easier to use or more understandable to certain people goes a long way.

    Sort of like public intellectuals and hardcore academics. Hardcore academics are the ones driving forward new innovations for a particular field of study or another. Public intellectuals make said field of study more accessible to the public by providing descriptions and explanations in various laymen terms.

    In a similar way, bottles may make using wine or different wine versions easier for some; or maybe the process of creating and setting up a bottle clicks better and makes the most sense for them.

    I am similar.

    I have found the process to be rather overly complicated; though I do recognize some benefit in more granular control in certain areas. Between running different versions of wine and proton, I have been able to do everything I’ve needed to and wanted to do with far less steps and time invested into the setup. I haven’t really thought about bottles again until now.

    However, I do think that it is important to support projects like these anyway – as gaming on Linux is one of the few consistent barriers for people switching over from windows or mac; just because it isn’t my cup of tea or that I personally don’t see the benefit of it doesn’t mean that there isn’t a whole community of people who prefer to use bottles and enjoy the fine control over runners and such. In a larger sense, I think supporting them would be supporting gaming on Linux as a whole.

    why would putting someone who knows nothing about governance and politics in the most powerful positions in government and politics even be a good thing, or not a bad thing? Like I have aforementioned, appealing to people’s fears and prejudices isn’t something new or special. That’s like saying “there hasn’t been any change so instead of doing research and actually voting differently, I’m going to continue voting for the same 2 parties and continue to expect change. especially if one of them knows fuck-all about what’s going on and how to be a leader.” I disagree. but TL;DR…

    MY point and my question to American voters is why they feel that putting a man in a position that he is completely not educated or competent in would be beneficial for anyone?

    We already saw this type of behavior with Hitler. Appealing to people’s fears and prejudices. Appealing to people’s tribal instinct of the “U.S. vs them.” dichotomy. it’s not new or special just because his retarded ass does it. And it’s sad that the average American voter seems to be too historically illiterate to see the exact same signs. History truly is doomed to repeat itself.

    I don’t even think trump has made good on a single promise yet — from “no new wars”, “affordable groceries”, “no taxes on tips” and yet, even though he basically flat out lied to his supporters faces, they still support him. Why?

    So you are telling me that Donald Trump is a credible attempt to take a sledgehammer to the status quo because he is politically retarded and the left doesn’t have someone who is politically retarded so that increases the right-wing pull? Like, I’m not even sure if Donald Trump can presently tell you what a tariff is, or the responsibilities of the 3 branches of government. I suppose this is what it looks like when the public votes for dictatorship. Appeal to peoples fear and tribal instincts and apparently the inability to rise above vanishes.
