The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I'm concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I've never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

That's kinda the whole point of this bullshit. Russia's entire history is "things go bad? find an enemy and attack them." This distracts the populace and makes the ruler (at least theoretically) look "strong". This is why "war" is the answer to almost any problem in Russia. For Nicholas II this didn't work out though, when he attacked Japan hoping for a quick victory, but ended up losing and exacerbating problems at home, which then led to the collapse of Russia.

I'd rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it's silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

I always prefer native packages over containerized. But I'm glad they exist, because every now and then a native package won't work. I don't agree with most people that say Linux needs to be streamlined: less distros, less packaging systems, etc. Personally, I like when I have options. I prefer flatpak over snaps and appimages, but ideally I'd like to have all of them available just in case. When comparing snaps to flatpaks, in my personal experience, flatpaks just integrate better. But they're not THAT much better than snaps, so I could see myself using either, it's just that so far I haven't run into a situation where I'd need to use a snap. There is one downside to flatpaks though, and it's their names. As DT pointed out in his video, it can be pretty annoying to run them through terminal. But I hate the fact that Mint removed snap and Ubuntu removed flatpaks. I don't think we're achieving anything with this "war of formats". Let people use both and decide for themselves.

Russia has been doing and undoing itself the whole history. Meanwhile, who suffers? The minorities. You could compile a list of cultures they destroyed across Siberia, the Pontic Steppe and the Caucasus. And this process is still ongoing.

The moods and themes are pretty cool categorizations. I should give it a try. Thanks!

That is a great idea, I should try it, thanks

I never liked missions in any of the GTA games I've played (haven't played 4 and 5). Even as a kid I hated doing those missions. Don't think Vice City is much better in this respect than 3.

Ah shit, it's still not working. It doesn't give the error anymore, but now it just crashes. Well, it was worth a shot anyway, thanks again.

This doesn't really work for me, because it mostly just shows me artists in the same genre, most of which I'm already aware of and don't care about. I'm really more looking for music that conveys similar meaning/concepts. The genre is less relevant here.

Yeah, I've tried this, it's not very helpful for me.

Thanks, but I already installed the game though. The problem is with launching.

Thank you so much! I'm gonna try that now.
