  • Do you pay taxes? Guess you love Nazis. Pieces of shit are everywhere and it’s not possible to boycott them all. Yes, this game is a luxury. Yes, you can still be a good person if you buy it.

    Given Rowling’s existing wealth and influence I think the world is better off with the game than without it. It’s not like this marginal increase in money will allow her to create a disproportionate amount of hate she is not already doing. You are why people make fun of cancel culture. If you want allyship you should pick better battles. It’s possible to be intolerant of intolerance and still purchase this game.

    And I say this as someone who never liked Harry Potter and thought the game was average (way too easy except for the very last boss fight).

    There is some kind of trend where a survey or something happened and women said they would rather go camping with an actual bear than a man, presumably because the man is more likely to rape or kill them or something.

    And when men say “what the fuck that bear is gonna maul your ass to death”, that is a gotcha opportunity to highlight how men don’t understand the constant threat women are under.



  • My Asus motherboard started bluescreening Windows. After a lot of effort I traced it down to a specific device ID that windows was loading firmware for. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get this auto installation to stop. It was a totally random component that added nothing I could tell.

    Asus refused to release new firmware be cause the motherboard was “unsupported” even though the box etc has stickers saying it supports windows 10.

    After a ton more effort I figured out how to make some low end api calls that eventually stopped this auto installation. It was mostly reliable. I got to crack a lot of jokes to my friends about my motherboard not supporting windows but it was a really hard period for me particularly because Linux gaming wasn’t as strong as it is today. I was really big into league of legends at the time and this experience forced me to quit, losing touch with many friends in the process.
