I dealt with that too, sadly. Thankfully there is a mod that can alleviate it. (I'd link it but it'd also reveal spoilers...)

I beat it last week. Amazing game.
Can't wait to get the DLC and play it!
That's a fair assessment, though I personally believe there should be a distinction between "previous generation" and "retro". When the PS3 was a current-gen console, the PS2 and PS1 weren't really seen as retro, just old and outdated.
Then again, I guess it's a distinction without much of a difference. ^^"
It's a Powkiddy V90!
Personally, I consider the cutoff point between Retro and Modern as being when the sixth generation (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast) ended and the seventh (PS3, X360, Wii) began.
I guess I'm a bit weird in this regard, because I did grow up with sixth gen games (I never had a GBA, but I did dabble with GBA emulation at the time) and thus should probably also feel the same way you do, but I remained quite fond of them even as a lot of people moved on to newer consoles and no longer shared my interests. I guess I had an easier time labeling them as retro because it was easier to justify me still liking them as opposed to "being stuck behind the times" or "being too poor to afford the newer games/consoles" like people used to say to me.
Like... yeah, I was too poor to afford the newer stuff, but that wasn't the ONLY reason I liked the older games. I just thought they were neat and had sentimental value to me.
Fair enough! That's a good point.
I'd say not at all. Venus has an atmosphere 92 times denser than ours filled with sulphuric acid, its average temperature is hot enough to melt lead (455°C/850°F), probes sent there never lasted more than two hours before being completely destroyed, and it for some reason rotates backwards compared to other planets.
Mars doesn't have any of these issues and mostly resembles a cold desert with a very thin atmosphere, so it's far similar to Earth than Venus is.
I'm Latin American, I've seen some people use Latinx here, but I personally prefer Latine because it rolls off the tongue much easier. Ideally though, I'd personally rather be called Latin American to avoid the pronoun altogether. Again, though, that's a personal preference of mine - in languages with gendered pronouns, I personally prefer avoiding using pronouns toward myself altogether as much as possible.
At least in my experience, it's not really uniformly decided and also became a Culture War thing in here as well.
Oh, no no, I wasn't accusing you of fearmongering, I was actually agreeing with you! Sorry for coming off the wrong way, I didn't mean my post to come off as accusatory. :/
Fucking hell, seriously... pardon the invocation of Godwin's Law, but people used the same "Legislative and Judicial branches won't allow it" excuse to claim that Hitler winning the elections in Germany wouldn't be that bad and we all know how it ended up.
The amount of people burying their heads in the sand regarding Project 2025 is infuriatingly high and I hate it.
I actually use KDE Plasma myself, I just like to keep my desktop themes consistent since there are a bunch of GTK programs I use ^^'
I'm not technically inclined at all, so the most duct tapey thing I can remember was hacking Gnome to use Nemo as my file browser instead of Gnome's default file browser once.
