Maye I’m simplifying this too much but isn’t TikTok something that rose from the ashes of Vine?

Yup.

The U.S. Government has to issue subpoenas and a whole other mess of legal BS to get access to logs and user data. Do you remember that murderer/terrorist (I don’t remember which) whose phone LEO couldn’t unlock, and Apple refused without a court order? This is a person who has committed a serious offense and still…

Seriously. Social apps and platforms have changed pretty often at least as long as I’ve been using it, and I started in 1990. People will go somewhere else if it’s banned.

They’d get over it and find something else.  Leaving aside entirely the merits of the argument, there was a time before TikTok and there would be a time after it, and they’d be fine.

Stop defending this blatant Chinese-State-Data-Machine. They are open about it’s connections. There are many other platforms to use that aren’t feeding data to a Government run by assholes with only ill-intent for said data.

Without sounding like a millennial with a lawn complex (fat chance), from years of experience, this is not the impending apocalypse zoomers...

Some other company will fill the void, you’ll move to it and forget that TikTok ever existed. The same thing happens with every social media product that was the “big thing” for some period of time.

“Tragedy” sounds like quite a stretch to me.

Gaming communities will survive - thrive, even - without TikTok. Get a grip.

I dunno, not being spied on sounds pretty good to me. You frame it as if losing tik tok is a bad thing. But arguably it isn't.

Twitter was actually useful at one point though.  I can’t say the same for TikTok.

The GOG Cut version is unfortunately 2 years late in terms of update and several mods compiled also got several updates since. In addition, it has several optional settings that are disabled by default. Daggerfall Unity’s creator wrote an article on the subject 2 weeks ago : https://github.com/Interkarma/daggerfall-un…

It’s outdated and broken, the mod authors don’t support that version. stay far away.

“If you play using the “GOG Cut” release of Daggerfall Unity, please consider this version is now almost two years out of date and comes preloaded with dozens of mods. It’s buggy, slow, and completely changes how the game looks and plays. The Daggerfall Unity development team did not assemble the “GOG Cut” release…

>Starfield was perfectly fine. Skyrim? Nope.

Yeah, Cyberpunk fixed a lot, but the main difference for me is that the story and characters were always interesting. The main story might not be everyones cup of tea, but all the side characters already had amazing personalities and story arcs tied into amazing quests.

Yes, Cyberpunk’s early issues were clear mistakes. The developers clearly didn’t intend for cars to be falling from the sky or NPC’s to be taking off on invisible motorcycles. CDPR’s response to 2077's disastrous launch was that it needed to be fixed.
