Ohhhh I see. Yeah, I think Sync uses Chrome too. Sync has an option to always open links in external web browser, so that's how I got around that.

Dunno if this is what you mean, but you can definitely set another browser as default. Any context menus will change too: "Open with Firefox", or w/e you're using.

Ah ok, gotcha. Who knows, I might agree once I actually pick the game up. I just don't want a map filled with what feels to me like filler.

I just started this too! Agreed on all fronts. It's gorgeous, the combat is refined and a combination of a lot of great old-school JRPG mechanics, I like all the winks and tongue-in-cheek mentions of classic tropes. I was just really hoping the story wasn't going where I thought it was going. But now that I have gotten a certain bit in, it feels like it's going exactly where I think it's going. But it's such a self-aware game that I hope I'm wrong. Because you're right, the characters are actually likeable and do at times subvert tropes, blatantly even, like they know we expected them to behave a certain way. Fingers crossed.

That's really great to hear. I heard an estimate of the game length elsewhere too. I'm really glad to hear that overall it's generally a tighter experience rather than including a bunch of collectathons.

Took a quick look at the first few messages and the links: seems like BiglyBT is banned by a lot of private trackers because it's possible to mod it to spoof the numbers required to stay a member in the private tracker, while also being able to create a torrent file that allows others using the mod to utilize the private tracker without permission. Not sure if any of that functionality has to do with I2P.

I believe the States have that already, with their age verification bullshit for porn. Doesn't seem like serious privacy violations are a concern for them.

I think they're pointing out that it sounds like by saying "she was American, not Israeli" that you think it would have somehow been less awful if she was Israeli.

I'm sure they mean fraud in the colloquial sense, not the legal sense.

On a small scale, that's what some of these privacy-focused browsers are doing in regards to fingerprinting. Make the data that has to be provided as standardized as possible and randomize the rest that is being tested behind the scenes. That is really great, but we can't randomize our behavior and there's a lot of data we can't randomize for the sake of functionality. Dunno how we handle that. Maybe we all install bots on our devices that act like users and go to random sites and click on random shit while we're not using the device.

My man joins the conversation and then acts like they're a hostage to it.

I'm with you except for the therapist one. Ain't no way the AI we have currently or anything even close to what we have now could be a therapist. The human connection is the #1 most important thing in therapy and being a therapist takes way too much contextual understanding.
