With RFK jr in charge of HHS we are probably doomed

Seems like a good thread to plug [email protected]

I’ve been very recently rewatching the pure pwnage series. Such a nostalgia trip, not just because the videos themselves but the era they took place in too

They made a whole musical about this called “Singin’ in the Rain”

As far as my opinion goes. “I can’t stan ‘em”

Exactly the reason I left. I was so pleased when Apollo for Lemmy in the form of wefwef/voyager existed too

Using a SSG such as Hugo, you don’t write HYML. You use Markdown. Which is the same format that you use for posts on Lemmy. You don’t get the full MS Word of the formatting gamut but in exchange your posts look the same anywhere you put them that uses Markdown.

In fact there is someone that made a front end that literally uses Lemmy as the backend for your posts.

If you want to accurate to Biblical tradition. Good created both the ant and anteater but Adam was the one who named him. (Using English of course, he was a god fearing American)

1. If db0 was added to the tankie triad it wouldn’t be a triad anymore

2. db0 is an anarchist not a communist. Lemmy world has some tankie users too, but it’s clearly moderated to be a liberal instance and that’s why the majority of users there are liberal. .ml has plenty of liberal users too, but it’s still tankie. The tankie triad is based on the admins, not users

Your comment seems to misunderstand federation and the function of activitypub. Lemmy does have an All front page that is the front page of All Lemmy servers that your instance knows about and hasn’t defederated with.

You don’t need an account for each instance, you just post on your local instances copy of the community/post and your post shows up on all other Lemmy servers that you instance knows about.

You may have inadvertently made your own point, that it isn’t intuitive for newcomers but a single front page/account totally defeats the purpose of decentralized social media.

You have described BlueSky which is distributed but not decentralized and will enshittify the same as Reddit and twitter and the only benefit to ATProto is some other public benefit corp could potentially host a copy of the network in its place until that business decides to enshittify of course

I think mbin makes all votes up or down public. So maybe he’s on an mbin server instead of lemmy

I don’t think it’s probably being bottled. I think there are just a combination of people who would rather be unhappy where they are than face a bit of resistance getting themselves out of their rut and people who are fanatically devoted to legacy social media due to sunk cost and have a hard time abandoning their decade old accounts. So whenever the topic comes up they are happy to trash Lemmy rather than improve their situation. They are on Reddit alternatives sub for a reason but they won’t get off their ass because nothing is perfect enough for them

I’m only about 4 missions in but the puzzle with the rail carts in the 3rd mission feels just like that. I hope there are more coming up

I beat blue shift in just 2 nights and I didn’t really stay up late either so I was surprised when it ended. At least it didn’t linger too long or have a bunch of annoying filler like “On a Rail” but it really felt like it ended in the first act

I agree that Opposing force has so many weapons that quite a few of them don’t get much time to shine. And a lot of them come in the last third of the game. Would have loved more chances to use the sniper and the squid gun.

I think blue shift is my favorite just due to the story but I do have to agree that none of the expansions can compete with the gameplay of the original.

Decay is its own thing. I’ve quite enjoyed almost more as an arcade experience where you can compete for the high score and get some more half life lore than it being its own stand alone thing.

Solid perspective, thanks for sharing

You get what you pay for and your local business is going to provide customer service that is most likely worth the markup

A boycott would work, I just think most Nintendo fans are empty in their threats and will still buy the switch 2 just like all those MW2 players did back then.

It’d be as effective as the PC players boycott of MW2

I’ve been playing more of my old retail games that don’t require any launcher or drm beyond requiring the disc. It’s nice.

I’m not exactly sure if “xfire on steroids” bloat of steam actually adds anything anymore these days. Steam is nice because my library is already there. Even the friends list has mostly been supplanted by discord now.

I use the epic launcher for 1 thing, to launch Fortnite to play with my son. I don’t want more steam features, I’d rather acknowledge its existence less. Start selling games without DRM that only use the launcher to update and it’s better than steam. That’s the 1 feature it needs.

Mother’s Day is in March in the UK lol
