  • Ballout was born in Germany, the minister said. His mother was naturalized in 2002, three years before he was born.

    So this reminds me of something I learned growing up in an area with a lot of Latino gang violence.

    The people with these angry disillussioned attitudes were never first generation immigrants who have just arrived. Those are generally polite law abiding citizens who are glad to have gotten somewhere safer.

    The people inovled with gangs were second and third generations who were caught between the culture of their parents and the culture of the nation in which they now live.

    It was theorized to be related to feelings of isolation. Isolated from the world their parents come from, and through racism and discrimination, isolation from the world they exist in now. Two different worlds pulling at them and they don’t feel like they belong in either world.

    So they seek out others like themselves, and like many lost young men, they begin to radicalize.




  • Hmm, well for one thing I’m on a Ryzen 7 3700x 8-core, 32gb of RAM, and an AMD RX 6600XT, so I do wonder if the differing setups has anything to do with it.

    But yes, you grabbed the correct one, that wasn’t a hash, just part of the release name of the nightly build.

    My only guess from here would be to try to check logs and/or use something different than Steam.

    For example, I couldn’t even get the setup.exe running in Heroic, but it launched with no problems in Lutris. My go-to when things aren’t working is Lutris, and then launch every pirated game through Heroic Game Launcher, personally. I manually add it to Heroic after Lutris does all the work.


  • Since no one else responded to this yet… I grabbed a “non-legitimate” copy and installed it to test.

    I have the menu pop up for me right away installing the voices38 version of Pragmata. Used the latest nightly build:

    REF Nightly 01391 (a0e9010fb0449dc9d824b5978ee759eeaf50f7c6)

    I read on the github to add these arguments when running in Proton: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%

    Anyway, I used the official current nightly, and as I said, REFramework popped up instantly on first startup. I added REFramework before I ever started the game up, and it just… worked.

    Do you have more details about the system you’re running or anything to maybe narrow down why it’s not working for you? Maybe you missed it the first time it popped up and you need to use the default menu key (INSERT) to bring it up? First thing I did was change the menu key since with a 60% keyboard thats a tricky key combo ha.






  • People have forgotten because he turned out to be a sex pest…

    But once upon a time Louis CK would get annoyed with piracy and sell copies of his new standup show at $5 with a no DRM copy of the file, just politely asking people to not pirate.

    He made $5 million almost overnight which helped fund his foray into television with Louie which was on TV for five years.

    This literally was the thing that took his career to the next level. Where he went from a comic with a pretty okay career to one with a massive career.

    He used to do the same for other comedians, too. I bought a couple Todd Barry specials from his website the same way: $5, DRM-free media files.

    I still have all those files backed up.








  • “No shit, Sherlock,” Snot Flickerman says.

    (Not disparaging the researches but rather NYT who should be ashamed of framing this as though climate change isn’t affecting literally everything including over the top heatwaves. Fucking dogshit rag. Everyone with a fucking BRAIN in their skull, not just fucking researchers, could tell you this without needing to do research. The fact that it’s presented like this in the news is WHY we have to keep doing research to keep proving it to chucklefucks who will keep acting like it’s a question to be answered and not one that was answered in the 1970s and then hidden.)
