  • There is and it’s fantastic… The audiobooks for a lot of monster romances are way better then they have any right to be

    A large part of that is the narrators overlap with the lit RPG and cultivation audiobook crowd.

    Progression fantasy and smut go together I guess

    Personally I blame everybody loves large chests for helping popularize and normalize lewd audiobooks to a wider audience and make people expect higher quality.



  • It’s more steam just does fucking nothing. Everyone is equally allowed to be as awful as they want.

    Which means the far right who are the worse of us all, get to be infact the worse of everyone on steam. And because they are the worse they stand out the most.

    Valve has ALWAYS basically been as hands off as possible in moderation. For the worse.

    Gabe has always been behind this too. He believes pretty publicly that people should be allowed to say what ever the fuck they want.

    Death threats, racism, sexism? All allowed. Just as positivity, kind gestures, and inclusivity is allowed.

    Just the negative assholes are Infinitly louder then positive people. Because positive people just shut up and go quiet instead of defending themselves or engaging with the assholes.

    Which to be fair is the right call you can’t beat an asshole at his own game. He has more experience shit talking.

    Dota, counter strike, and now deadlock all are pretty great examples of valves moderation style even beyond steam.

    End of the day Gabe is libertarian and has stated multiable times that valves moderation is based on his libertarian viewpoints. Valve is self described as a libertarian platform.

    Agree or disagree it’s Gabe’s platform and Gabe’s believes and how he sees things. Your opinions don’t matter or hold any sway. Gabe’s are the only ones that matter on how valve moderation is done. Don’t like it. Then leave.

    It fucking sucks but that’s the downside to private businesses. They can do what they want they don’t have stock holders they have to please and thus, they don’t have to please anyone but themselves.

    So long as the service is consumed the how they run it doesn’t matter.


  • He’s getting down voted cause judging past eras by modern standards. Is about as brain dead fucking stupid as you can get.

    The majority of all works are sexist, racist or have some form of hate in them. Because that’s just history. People were what they were and the faults of the past or the failure is of the writers who created those works. Do not make the works lesser.

    Indiana jones is factually still one of the most defining films in history. While it’s entirely their right to not watch it because they find it not palatable. That is a personal opinion and choice.

    But to say the movie is bad because it contains things that they cannot stomach is just not accurate. The movie is accurate and true to the era. It takes place in if it did not contain sexism or racism in instances and circumstances where they would be in fact called for given the time frame. And the movie would just be bad.

    People were different in the past. People of today. Need to get the f*** over that.


  • Hopefully your don’t take that approach to everything cause being unable to mentally get over the fact people were different at different points in history. Sure makes it damn well near impossible to be well read or learned.

    You basically are willfully ignorant and blind to history. If you just can’t read or watch anything that doesn’t perfectly match modern sensibilities.

    The sheer glut of fiction that is so unbelievably foundational to modern literature that is beyond racist and sexist. Is uncountable.


  • The entire point of a reality sitcom is that it takes place in reality.

    Reality has racists. Racism is part of life. There is a difference between a racist character doing a bit because that is what the character would do. Vs a show that is racist because the writers and directors are racist.

    Comedy has done dark humor and racist humor for 1000 years. If you stop allowing it, then you unironically actually just empower actual racists because your now removing a tool to undermine the racism.

    Yeah it sucks when the racist joke or bit is done poorly and lacks the context or nuance to either shine a light on a problem, subvert expections or point out a flaw in society. Thus coming across as just crass.

    But not every attempt is going to land.


  • Just accept shit won’t work and drop it cold turkey. Nuke the fuck out of the windows drive and force your self to move on.

    If you don’t need to to make a living then fuck it and move on.

    You learned to use a computer once you can do it again. When you didn’t know how to do something in the past you looked it up. When you needed an application you churned though options till one worked.

    Shit breaks or is half assed on windows. Your just use to what you know that works. Your use to having your apps your use to.

    Learn to get over the fact you gotta relearn things, find new options, and will be frustrated.

    After like a month you will be fine Basically git gud. You were gud growing up and got bad. Time to return to your childhood and have fun learning and exploring again.

    Also plain ass normal fedora is going to be your best middle ground if you want the widest possiable support of software. Arch if you don’t mind a bit more leg work with the aur.




  • It’s one of the single most used features there are outside of voip and text.

    It’s Mandatory for a discord alterative.

    This is a big reason why every alterative keeps failing. Linux and open source users are so fucking out of touch with normal users it’s absurd. They want and focus on all the wrong things and then complain when their apps don’t get popular.

    Like federation is cool and all but literally fuck and all people give a single flying fuck about it outside of the nerdy in crowd.

    Screen sharing on the other hand is a hard line the majority of normal users either refuse to live with out or have friends that do. Thus making it a make it or break it for most groups.






  • Fluxer. Literally just fluxer. It’s being made by a ex security tester for discord. Already 90%+ feature parity with discord.

    The free user experience is solid and its funding is a rather simple and straight forward sub model to support centralized hosting for the less technical users or larger communities. With an option to self host, self hosting is free provides all the same benefits as the sub as it should since you arnt using their bandwidth.

    The only problem with it is it just rolled into beta and is being overloaded with new users.

    The mobile app is under development but has a bunch of flutter devs working on it. And the pwa app works extremely well in the mean time.






  • The actual trick to making bank is the fact that cultivation,progression fantasy,monster harem have a weird over lap in the audiobook space. It’s why ever monster smut book is also a lit RPG these days.

    It’s basically become the cheap seasonal isakai of the audiobook world.

    Monster harem progression fantasy audiobooks make bank and there sizeable studios that buy up anything remotely half assed or better.

    You need to do well enough to get into the audiobook market with like royal guard. You can make a lot of money.
