As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding

Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?

It's a double edged sword. Everybody's got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive

How are they gone? The current servers are hosted by CIG, there's no p2p or player hosted servers. How would that even work for an MMO?

You have the option to buy most ships with real money, but the general cycle is about 6 months after release into the persistent universe the ships are purchasable with in-game money. The only reason to spend real money on SC is if you can't wait those 6 months, want to support development, or don't want to bother with in-game money for whatever reason. There are some exception ships though.

As for the detail, there are big differences between SC and ED. For one, SC ships have completely modeled interiors since the intended gameplay is for you to manually board your ship from outside. ED has no ship interiors as far as I know, just cockpits and exteriors, no matter how big the ship is. SC also has more ships than ED even excluding all the SC ship variants, ground vehicles, and ships that don't do Quantum jumps, the frame shift equivalent of ED.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't consider just flying around, exploring, and doing the current missions a game, but you could say something similar about early Minecraft. In sure some didn't see the point without more structure or features, but that didn't stop them from enjoying what was there and looking forward to the future

Where does it say it was a manual review?

The analog camera works great, but the motion blur scenes have a lot more grain now, at least to my eyes

He kind of looks like a discount Tobuscus, which would probably be better than regular Tobuscus

Is 545 still the latest? That release was so awful it made me completely drop Nvidia and pick up an AMD card. Fixed so many issues

Glad they're finally starting to combine services for fewer docker containers

I was always confused about the usefulness of bidets because I was taught to wipe with wetted tp at least once while wiping.

This is true if you're betting everything you have. By not having shrinking bets after losses you can tap into the net gains. Compare 1 win followed by 1 loss with $100 start:

Win is $100+$80 = $180

Loss is $180-$90 = $90

Compare with fixed bets of $50 with bank of $100:

Win is $100+$40 = $140

Loss is $140-$25 = $115
