Oh boy I can’t wait for it come to Brazil! Surely will happen before I die!

I have yet to watch the second season since I think the animation is absolutely beautiful and want to see it at its height from a BD rip. Its been a while since I watched it but I remember it ending in a hopeful tone, even if all problems weren’t solved it still seemed like it would mostly work out with time. Contrasts are really central in this series I feel, from chill and happy to sad and hopeless, nothing captures that more than the exquisite soundtrack no doubt!

I can however recommend the two OVAS that come after the second season (tho one is a prequel), those were pretty nice too!

Btw, it makes me seriously happy that not only you took my recommendation but also really liked it so thank you very much

I will tell you why, because here there are two types of political ads:

1- candidates making the most vague promises possible like “I will improve our healthcare!”

2- ads throwing dirt on other candidates for whatever reason

Not a single candidate will talk about concrete plans, whether for protecting the environment nor for any other municipal issue.

When you buy on GOG you really get the game, you can (without needing a launcher) download installers without any trouble and you can do whatever you want with them. Want to put a bunch into a pen drive and share with you friends? No problem. Want to install them on a device with no Internet connection? No problem. Want to back them up for whatever reason? No problem.

EDIT: People telling me its not legal, its not about being legal or not, its about having the power to decide to do whatever you want.

Not sure why are you against them then. Based on your comments I think you are not against paid mods, you are against companies like Steam or Bethesda taking a cut. Which is exactly my position too, so I’m not sure what are you actually disagreeing with me about.

Great, this whole discussion is because of your inability to understand my first comment in context, the context of talking about Steam pushing for paid mods. Congratz, you wasted both of our times.

Could be possible. Overwatch, the game it took heavy inspiration from, was salvaged from the wreck of another game they had shelved, Titan, was supposed to be an MMO I think.

You do know that this whole comment chain was started by Valve trying to push paid mods with the help of Bethesda right? Just making sure because all your points make no sense in this context.

So you were fine with paying foreign corporations for these games, but you are not fine paying the kid down the street for his mod? Why do these well-off corporations deserve your money, but the modder who actually needs the money doesn’t?

Before I start here, “kid down the street” really? Are you creating the image of a fictional modder to attract pity? Arent you gonna add that he has a dying mother that needs surgery or something?
But to answer the question, I have no issues paying ‘the kid down the street’ for mods, Im not sure if they were kids but I did donate to quite a few modders by now, would do so again.
Now back to the context: https://www.polygon.com/2015/4/27/8505513/bethesda-skyrim-paid-mods-valve-steam (source)
So lets see, 30% goes to Steam, 45% goes to Bethesda and whats left to the “modder who actually needs the money” is… 25% yep. Since I answered my question would you answer mine too? Are you okay with paying foreign corporations to exploit the work of the “kid down the street”, keeping the vast majority of the profit?

Before you start typing ‘but other companies wouldn’t charge so much from the modder!’, a few reminders: you said this isnt an utopia, Steam always charges 30%, always has always will, whatever other company that works with steam for paid mods will take their share too. Best case scenario that company takes 20% and the modder will get 50% (which they also have to pay taxes on ofc).

I didn’t mention having to charge for anything at all, even mods. I think mod authors should be allowed to charge for them if they choose to, just like for anyone else making anything else.

Paid mods is basically “having to charge”. If you WANT to pay for mods I really need to ask, what is stopping you? If you actually care about the modders getting money, many of them have ko-fi/patreon platforms where they actually keep most of the money you give them, some of them take commissions even. Heck, Nexus Mods, largest mod distribution website, allows donations directly to the modders. There is nothing stopping you from paying for mods, now that Im an adult with a job I do pay for them often.

Go see what paid mods does to the modding scene in FF14 and think again. (spoiler: Its drama, people stealing assets and trying to monetize it, piracy, people paying for mods that stop working when the game updates and getting no refunds, etc)

You mention the world is not an utopia and on the same breath explains how we should make it even worse. I come from a third world country and as a kid most people could only afford one maybe two games, all my friends bought half-life and warcraft 3, can you guess why?

By your logic we should also make libraries paid and charge for all FOSS too, yes, lets put a price on everything! What an utopia this will lead to!

Modding has always been motivated by passion, not everything needs to be connected to money in this world, the capitalistic idea that only money can motivate people to do things sucks.

Kill 5 bosses out of the 9 total in a raid dungeon in the mythic difficulty

And valve tried to push the paid mods shit, too bad people forget too quickly. Not saying valve is straight up bad, but they aren’t your friends either

Never said otherwise

Ngl, if a politician goes 5/9M on stream, I might just vote for them, 100% chance if they are the raid leader

Must be the perfect thing to add to your resume then go find better pay from desperate employers seeking an engineer that worked at apple.

Hell yeah lets goooo! Finally managed to convince someone. In my case I love the contrast between the laid back chill moments and the more dramatic/action filled moments, so yeah, often plot takes the backseat. I hope it stays good for you till the end!

If only, I wish my brain would make up his fucking mind

It’s a great anime for sure, one of my favorites, enjoy it!

My DEX modfier is +2 and get another +2 from being a bard, is +4 too high?
