  • Arkane lost a lot core members because of problems with the last game, so yes for them. Rocksteady lost their two founders because of Suicide Squad. They just dipped in the middle if production. Pretty clear that they didn’t like the direction WB was taking the game. Rocksteady was developing this for 7 years. They need this to work. So I kind of would say yea, they are probably done. Bioware, they are gone since a long time ago my friend, even before the last mass effect. Naughty Dog is fine i think, but that’s because sony noticed that everyone was failing at doing live service shit and had the sense to pull the plugs before it all went to shit.

    Arkane might continue as in name, but just as a puppet. Once a videogame company loses its core members or founders, it’s the start of the end. Rocksteady is the same. They lost their founders and they are banking a lot in their game. Current BioWare doesn’t have a single drop of their original dna in it.


  • Just my personal opinion

    The good clearly are the free games and that some games go cheaper there, they have better sales sometimes. The bad is that the store is badly optimized. The UI is annoying, no cloud saves for a lot of games. As of recently there were no achievements or even a cart, but they have that now which is good. The friends tab is bare bones still. They have aggressive DRM. For some reason it’s a pain in the ass to log in, but that might be just on my end.

    Now with GOG, you don’t have DRM, you can integrate all launchers so you can launch all the games from one, which for me, is pretty useful. GOG has great deals. The bad is that the ui as well is kind of bare bones, but i don’t know, they are not trying to take over the market and their store works very well.

    As of steam i don’t need to say anything, everything is in there. If you play on linux you basically will get every game from steam. They have the most robust launcher with the most options, etc.

    That said, personally I use the three of them. Gog primarily since i can launch everything from there and if i find a game in there, i’d rather get it from them. But i’ve found sales on epic too good to let go so i play those games there. For me it depends on what they’re offering, but for some reason i really dislike Epic’s layout and ui, i feel like it is very annoying and that it is missing a lot.






  • Yeah, as i posted above, im a medical interpreter and yeah, birth control methods, not only hormonal, will stop menstruation, and that is normal. They actually prescribe birth control pills to women that bleed too much and have iron deficiencies because of it.

    Edit: As an anecdote, i went out for a time with a girl that told me that she took birth control pills because her period was too heavy, and that once she forgot to take them and that she was bleeding for 20 minutes in the shower, and that she was very scared. Femininity goes hard sometimes I guess lol.


  • I am a medical interpreter and until like three months ago I didn’t know that women had clear fluid secretions on the regular, as in as a normal part of their life monthly cycle. No one, not any gf nor my actual gf or any friend had told me that. I hadn’t heard about it anywhere, either on the news, on small talk, on jokes, on serious conversations, on sex ed, nowhere. I was in wonder not because of the fact, but because of how little info about it there is until I got the info in my job, and even there i hadn’t heard about it before nor after. It’s so weird for something so common to be this quiet.


  • Trueee, FreeTube in pc, NewPipe in android and you get the same experience as premium. Even more so, with FreetTube you even get sponsor block that i have no idea with what kind of black programming magic its done but it’s a plus over premium. I sound like an ad but i didn’t know that shit like that existed until I cancelled premium lol.



  • I know that the pop up showing for some of my friends made me cancel my premium subscription. Everything else I don’t know. If they stop i will think about getting it back, but newpipe has been working pretty nice. It has the same benefits as premium and I don’t use youtube music. We’ll see, thanks to youtube for making me go looking for alternatives i guess lol.
