That's a very elaborate way to spell "leeches".

Most of what we experience as taste is actually smell. It's generally not an issue.

The trick is to not put the smelly thing inside your mouth.

This could be difficult to apply for such an extended period of time, but I generally have good results by just breathing exclusively through my mouth. Pretend you're underwater and breathing through a snorkel.

This technique has gotten me through many a fart and temporary sewage/fertilizer exposure.

I've heard games like Elite are less problematic, since you're sitting still and the vehicle is moving. Apparently that makes it more natural, compared to moving around on foot in the game but standing still in real life.

In the case of Star Citizen, they used to support it, but since the game is still being actively developed in the alpha stage it kept breaking. Not worth the time and money to keep fixing it, so they put it on hold. As far as I know, they still plan to support it after the main feature set is stabilized and they go into polishing mode.

But I agree, it would be great if it still/already had native support.

We are slowly turning ourselves into Krikkit.

That was always part of the enshittification formula. The final stage after exploiting users is to exploit business customers to the breaking point.

Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven't subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.

Gulf War: 1990-1991

Idiocracy: 2006

You may be thinking of the sequel, Gulf War II

The problem is all the other people voting the wrong way with their bigger wallets.
