I do like some intellectual stimulation and will hold contrarian views just to test the waters of my own understanding or to test yours. I don’t always believe the things I say online. I want you, AND me to understand the world around us better.

    Twitch shadowbans public VPNs due to abuse/bots. The most common method for people to get around bans is to use a VPN – now assume millions of viewers, and you’ve got an easy recipe for needing to stop that activity.

    You’re not punished for being privacy conscious; you’re being punished for being roughly in the same realm as harassers, etc.

    If you don’t want to be banned, rent a VPS and set up your own private VPN for only you. The problem is that using Nord, Windscribe, etc etc is that you’re sharing that VPN tunnel with hundreds, maybe thousands of people at a time.

    Take a look at the game Nightingale. You can use cards to combine “Forest, Desert, and Swamp” - with other attributes like “Blood Moon”, “Fae Wilds”, “Industrial” (makes the map foggy, gets boosts to crafting), “Quarry”, etc.; unless of course your scope is only mars.
