huh, interesting. so from a security perspective is there any other concern with this protocol? at least they’re not using a mac relay server like Nothing Chats was
while this is great to hear (fuckin finally tbh), this honestly feels a little too late. online was pretty much dead the last time i was on and i was getting rolled by the same two people over and over
what’s funny, if i remember correctly, was that when the show was first announced, i’m pretty sure the author was brought in as an “advisor” of a sort and they were talking about how the show was going to be more accurate to the books than the games.
This show just came to an end and it’s got to be one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen, but somehow always entertaining. Preferable if the show has a large amount of viewers to trash it and laugh at it.

I’ve used Mint for many years. It has never worked well, its budgeting tools are inaccurate, and the UI is garbage. I guess you can say I’m not too broken up about this. I do very well with an Apple Numbers spreadsheet every month. That said, if there are other better options out there, I would consider them.
