  • Should be manageable and it is probably less than you would imagine. Just checked real quick: the isos load from download.bazzite.gg, which is a Cloudflare IP. So they are either using it as CDN or even more likely use Cloudflares R2 storage for isos - which would mean they pay for storage (~15$/TB) and operations, but not for egress. This is seems ideal for few but huge files.

    So for a single iso (~7 GB) they would pay 0,105$ for storage monthly and additionally 0,36$ per million of class B operations (reads/downloads). Of course they host more than one ISO, but for this example it would have been downloaded about ~150000 times to reach the petabyte.

    So yeah, the ISO download is probably less of a problem. (Disclaimer: lot of assumptions, check in with a bazzite dev for clarity)

    Yeah, it was really cool, asynchronous free-for-all multiplayer with an online board an all.

    But instead of paying with money, you would pay with time. Usually you’d rack up time because you obviously pay your time to other players. But if they got freed their properties were emptied as well and could thus be claimed by you - which of course also cost time. So at that point you’d then move as less as possible.

    Of course there were some edge cases, where the lockup could last a bit longer, e.g. if you land in jail during property claiming phase or someone steals your properties with event cards and such.

    Yeah. I needed someone to point that out for me as well. That apparently was too tight. Funny enough I went full circle with it. When I measured for my first CherryKeeper and it basically told me I should use a wide variant. And my brain went “No, that can’t be right, I don’t have a wide dick.” … and thus I wore too small cages and had obvious issues with it for 2,5 years… until the K3D support pointed that out and basically suggested a cage similiar to the one I got from my measurements. Oops - but now my brain can accept that (but my wallet very much don’t).

    Yep, pretty much the same for me. If I want a fitting cage I have to get wide versions which means either custom ones like CK or expensive ones like K3D. And then there is the usual trial&error on top of it. Where others get along fine with 15$ steel cages from Aliexpress, I probably spent 50x as much (and am still not super happy with it).

    While i like this sentiment, I’d feel like a bad caricature of who I want to be. Just thinking about it makes me uneasy, tbh.

    (Impostor syndrome, maybe? Not sure how to healthily overcome this. When I had that for my proffession I basically burnt out due to the amount of tasks I took on and the meager results and not great feedback I got. Basically had a mental breakdown for about 6 months before I felt okay-ish again. Sure, it cured my impostor syndrome by giving me a [healthy?] dose of apathy and I am willing to fight for my standpoints now and can shrug it off better if someone disagrees without feeling like a fraud. But that is definitely a road I do not want to take again.)

    Yeah, definitely, he is an idiot. But Stonewall often doesn’t even get taught in the US and i imagine much less in other countries.

    I mean I grew up in Germany. And I only learnt about ‘my’ gay history because I was interested in it. No mention of it during my time in school.

    You know, WW2 is basically everywhere in the curriculum for us, but never once was mentioned that the books they burned before that were in big parts about sexuality & gender researched in Berlin by Magnus Hirschfeld. Berlin was quite liberal (no surprise now, but historically it was monumental) in that regard, but so was Bavaria (thanks to french influence). [For our American readers: our Bavaria is similar to your Texas in mentality and association with the whole country as a whole. ] Or that when the concentration camps were ‘freed’ that they did not free the ‘unnatural’ marked by the pink triangles. And then the gay history splits between east and west and for quite some time the east is actually ahead in terms of equality. And that with the reunification some young couples unknowingly broke the law, as age of consent differed between east and west.

    Hell, the only time ‘the gays’ were mentioned in school was during an STI workshop where prevention and healthy relationships was not part of it, but that we should still treat infected people with basic decency. That was around 2010.
