I don't understand, why did you post a random picture of some pavement ?

Well, the bishop is called the "fou" which literally translates to mad/insane, but iirc it's a recent name

Yeah, just like Twitch, it seems that YouTube has a way of conveniently "forgetting" these directives every now and then

Walking sims/narrative games. I'm a sucker for gameplay, so games with non-complex gameplay bore the hell out of me

I swear I could hear the call center employee (probably not really an IT guy at this stage) sweating when I called them after a thunderstorm fried my router's entry port and I read them the list of troubleshooting I already went through before calling them.

As a "gamer" and game developer, this is sound advice.

I guess it could be construed as racist when it's literally "master/slave". But I have never seen it as a normalization of slavery because there usually is no value attached to the terms, it's just describing the relation between them. And I don't think acknowledging that a slave generally doesn't have much say in doing what their master tells them is racist in itself or endorsing/normalizing slavery.

But also, I am white, and there are other terms we can use that can describe this kind of relation just fine, so, whatever. I just get mildly annoyed when some stuff that was working perfectly fine gets deprecated just to change these terms and I have to adapt to it.
