Given the performance improvements gained by using NTSYNC which game developers have used for years, I wonder if we'll see improved performance on games running through Wine/Proton compared to native.

I, of course, sent the Hunt after one of my enemies. I'm not going to waste the opportunity to play "let's you and him fight".

~~My catspaws~~ The rest of the circle are sometimes frustrated with my antics, but I'm too useful for them to ditch.

It's very much like in OP, except I can just pickpocket a target's name when they aren't looking.

Like a lot of Sidereal charms, it's deceptively useful but dependent on setting up a situation to make it good. I use it to either fuck with someone powerful (a CEO whose name can no longer be used by anyone is paralyzed) or to learn the name of someone I just met so I can convince them that we've met before to improve their initial reaction to me.

In one instance a villain summoned the Wyld Hunt and just as they appeared I swiped her name and proceeded to command the hunter because they were summoned by [villain's name] and that was my name (now, anyway). Storyteller ruled it worked because it was a fey creature.

I do this to my storyteller when I play my Sidereal Exalt, abuse of Name-Pilfering Practice is probably my hallmark.

These yahoos are both from the Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation, which is a conservative Republican think tank with ties to ALEC. Nothing they say should be taken at face value. They only serve billionaire interests.

It was during DADT and I wasn't joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world...).

The bar has been low for at least 30 years. Marine recruiter wouldn't leave me alone even after I started hitting on him.

There's no plan. Trump rules by whim. He's manipulable though, so maybe Tulsi got his ear.

He was also briefly in the Alec Baldwin film The Shadow. I was rewatching it recently and was like "No, Neelix! Don't do it!"

Yeah, my cat just wants effusive praise when she does this, she doesn't want me touching her.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
