  • That sounds like a solid plan! By the looks of it, you already checked the requirements to actually get into the Netherlands and live there for more than just a couple of months.

    I can’t imagine how bad it must be for you to basically have to uproot your entire life, but I wish you the best of luck (wherever you actually have to rely on luck, like processing times for documents). It’s great to know that you do already have a couple of people in Europe at least adjacent to where you plan to go.

    And sure! I do live in Bavaria, so it’s not the closest distance, but I’m certain we could eventually organise a meetup at some point.




  • I fully understand someone thinking x game deserves to be there instead of y but I think this is a great list that spans most genres and serves as a wonderful stepping stone for exploration within gaming.

    If I give this list to someone who doesn’t know yet, what kind of games they like, this list will show them great games from all major “eras” and all kinds of dev studio sizes/budgets. And once they have played, say, KotoR 2 (since it’s in the same list that recommends new and good games like Baldur’s Gate 3, they are more likely to check out other old but great games like Gothic 1 and 2 (and, of course, KotoR 1).









  • I could be mistaken but I think I read something about being able to choose which games a child member can see and play? If your adult sis is prone to getting banned, just invite her as child, if the system works like that. Sure, the terms “adult” and “child” are more intuitive for regular people, but in essence it’s just “admin/mod” and “member”, no?




  • You’re right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would’ve been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think “Eh, I didn’t open my mouth the very first time so it’s no use doing it now”…right?



  • A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you’re at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.



  • By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?

    Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
