A demonym is a noun that specifically refers to a person from a particular location; you can't use it as an adjective.

So in your second list, a school can't be a Muscovite, since it isn't a person. You could have met a Muscovite at the school in Moscow.

You would just say that you dated a Londoner. You would then use an adjective to describe the Londoner further (a female Londoner) or make the sentence longer and a bit clunkier IMO (a Londoner who was a woman)

Action Role-Playing Game

Basically a game focusing on levelling up your character to become your preferred version of killing machine, as opposed to maybe more of a diplomat or a rogue in what you would find in a typical Role-Playing Game (RPG)

A creationist once told me that evolution could only be true if my grandfather was a velociraptor...

So in that instance I may be a handful of generations away from the caphalopodes

Every magic item (even the more "common" ones) is valuable and treasured, even if it might not be used often

A +1 sword can split the hide of the toughest monsters and beasts, and is the heirloom of a powerful marquis

Three healing potions on the raised dias of the church, awaiting the arrival of the prophesied heroes, who will need them to vanquish the vampire

Or the duke with more money than sense, who has a small trove of magical items like the Stone of Gravity sensing or the Ring of Purple death detection. The twist is that in some forgotten corner of his room is a dagger that glows in the presence of demons (including the ones disguised as humans to overthrow the kingdom)

I browse Reddit occasionally without logging in (I also shredded my account after the API changes) and I see many posts that make me worried about the sort of data LLMs will collect once Reddit management allows that

Haven't played Gostwire Tokyo, so I'm not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I've played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux

Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that "on demand" uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower

The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there's a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on

How are guerrilla fighters with far inferior numbers, technology, and funding supposed to target military and government sites and not get wiped out within a week?

I needed User-Agent Switcher a few days ago. But I'm glad I have it now!
