I feel like a lot of people here need to stop taking this information so damn personally. You didn't know, great, that means you're not racist. Now you do know. So just... Stop? That's it. OP wasn't even a dick about it.
Personally, I'm grateful when I get a heads up that certain terms are racist, so thank you OP!
With how abysmally little as they make from Spotify, this isn't much different. They make anywhere from 0.003-0.005¢ per stream. If you really want to support artists, buy music from their Bandcamp or Qobuz, but don't pay for Spotify; the only people winning in that exchange is Spotify.
This is also a great way to handle it; malicious compliance/monkey paw. Makes for some humorous moments.
And yeah, if a player is constantly having to be told no, a talk may need to be had, and if it can't be resolved, they probably need to go. It's also a reason why Session 0's are so important; talking out what's expected of the campaign both on the part of the players and what the GM has in mind.
I 90% agree. I think most of the opposition to this comes from people exhausted with habitual boundary-pushers who think that a nat 20 means they can get away with defying the laws of reality.
Like, no, a nat20 persuasion does not convince the merchant to give you half his stock and all the money in the register... He would go broke and he's got a family to support, along with his own survival that your nat20 does not also convince him to stop caring about.
But at the end of the day, a lot of GMs who are sick of that need to be sent the dictionary page for the word "no." The occasional use of it really does improve the quality of the game, and I'm sure plenty of players will appreciate not letting aforementioned boundry pushers continue to waste time on impossible pursuits that do nothing to move the game forward.
I'm on the older end of Gen Z. I'm not even 30 yet, but I'm with you. I didn't start there though; a lot of us are raised by people who either drank the kool-aid or are too beaten down by capitalism to care, so give them awhile to get there.
Deadlock is still a MOBA. You do have to kill minions, farm gold, buy items, push lanes, etc. But it is a lot faster than Predecessor and is still also a shooter.
It's free, if you have someone who can invite you, you lose nothing trying it. The community has also been shockingly nice in my experience thus far.
I get it. It's an understandable desire, that there's somehow more to this and a point to our suffering. Be careful with the Witnesses though. If you're grieving lost loved ones, they'll pick up on it and try to leverage that to swindle you in. I truly believe most religious people mean well, but the Watch Tower Society (the people behind the JW's) are incredibly predatory and outright teach their followers to leverage people's grief if they pick up on it.
It's so evident, I mean, just look around! How could you possibly not believe...? Unless... Unless you hate Him and just wanna sin and rebel against him like the Devil! That's it! You're working for the Devil and/or you're possessed and/or you hate God! So you cover it up so people won't believe in Him, and you're confusing their minds so they die without salvation and go to hell!
It's an insane rationalization to make sense of how and why anybody would ever not believe what is so clearly plain as day to them. To entertain the notion that there is legitimacy to non-belief or even disbelief means entertaining the possibility that their dearly held beliefs are incorrect.
So they must concoct an answer that leads to willful disbelief, and reject all claims of non-belief, save for those who haven't heard of Christ at all. And, because they're paranoid, the reason cannot be innocent, they must assume malice to feed their delusion and their persecution complex.

They're Christo-Fascists, so the obvious answer is "to deny God." That's what it all boils down to. That's the only possible end it could ever serve and their base will devour it.
I've never played Rimworld, so I don't know the modding situation on it.
I attempted to mod Skyrim, and as far as I can tell, it's not that the mods don't work, it's that the primary mod manager Nexus is currently using (Vortex) is kind of a pain in the ass to set up on Linux. They are currently working on a new mod manager that should be natively compatible and should resolve that issue.
But for every other game I've ever modded on Linux it works exactly the same as it does on Windows.
Truthfully, outside of the handful of games that don't want me playing them because of my OS, 90% of my games work exactly the same, if not better. The remaining 10% might require a little tinkering to get running, or have some weird hiccup (having to run it in Proton instead of native because for some reason they're "different versions" thus menaing I can only play with friends on Windows in the Proton version), but I honestly couldn't be happier.
It feels like I'm playing on my computer again, not Microsoft's computer.
Talking to everybody about their problem instead of working through it with their partner.
Don't get me wrong: having a close friend you can confide in and talk it out with can be healthy, it can help you figure out how to approach the talk. But if you're left feeling like you can't talk to your partner at all, maybe you should ask yourself why?
I actually extended your PSA over to my Misskey. A great discussion ensued followed by this term and one other being added to the slur list. :P
