正 character is used as a tally mark in Chinese influenced cultures. It has five strokes, works exactly the same as any other tally mark you can encounter.

For anime memes, in hentai (as a genre of anime) female characters would have tally marks on them for the number on intercourses they had. As it's predominantly produced in Japan, tally marks are represented with a 正 character, as Japanese culture is influenced a lot by the Chinese.

I should probably note that outside of the western weeb culture it's just a regular tally mark without any lewd meaning behind it.

There is nothing more manly than clicking that "female" button on character selection screen.

I have a love/hate relationship with a lack of a comma somewhere around "old" in your message.

Am I missing something? We only had one episode so far and it's more or less in line with what I expected it to be.

Hey-hey, don't bring "dozen" into this filthy discussion, it did nothing wrong!

Have you ever tried Heroes of the Storm? It threw away a lot of annoying stuff from the standard MOBA formula. Not exactly alive as of now, but you can still play. That is until Microslop thinks it's servers are needed to train LLMs.

FOSS projects tend to be nice with their communities because if you piss off enough tech savvy people, your project just gets forked. Sooner or later there is a fork that everybody will recommend instead of the original project.

I'm yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.

My congratulations on your discharge, because only someone who's been in a coma these past few days haven't heard people screaming from each and every corner about how bad the thing is.

Just check the comments under their announcement video, for example.

Outside of specialized B2B software, I never met a tech rep that would be helpful with an issue. Do you actually have experience where you'd call Google/Apple/Microslop and get help with their software? In Linux world, with many programs I can just go and nag the actual developer of the thing, which often works wonders.
