I want to play that so bad right now. The cat like movement with wall-climb, plus the alien vision is easily one of my top 5 unique gaming experiences.

there’s always that one bootlicker

What in the actual fuck?

This is like a physical embodiment of Poe’s law.

Xitting, pronounced “shitting”

Who told you western teenagers were too dumb to understand this fact and would fail to include the remedies to their ideology when they rile up against capitalism?

TIL I didn’t know the meaning of normies.

It’s not a word I use but when I saw it first, I thought it meant neurotypical, then after a while I saw it in a more political context and thought it meant centrist. Turns out, it just means mainstream. I think.

What exactly does this word mean?

Right? It’s just that good!

I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I’m playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.

Maybe they’re trying to make this urban legend hoax a reality.

I just preemptively blocked the community for my account. I’d recommend everyone do the same until, and if they prove to be a problem.
I think instead of calling for pre-blocks or defederation of entire instances, we have to be vigilant and keep a close eye on the discussions going on around us.

I’m saying this not because I’m an “enlightened centrist” living in a delusion of tolerance or a fascist in disguise. I am as left leaning, antifascist, and antiauthoritarian as they get. I’m just saying this as I know from experience that there’s no real way to eliminate people with bigoted views from our communities other than on an individual basis.

Ban an entire instance, you’ll still have to block the individuals if they come one by one to stir shit up on your turf. Just skip the first part and go for the individual communities and users. They will simply find each other and form groups, as instances or otherwise anyway.

I know it’s not ideal, but there’s no real way to prevent these fascist groups from forming anywhere there’s a large enough number of people. We can only block our own interaction with them and form counter groups, and actively fight against their bigotry.

I believe this is the sad truth we all have to live with, at least for the time being, because I can’t see defederation as an effective tool.

I’m not in for the giveaway, I’m just supporting the random select suggestion since you mentioned the inherent problem with upvotes.

You can use something to randomly match users with a game. Maybe you can devise a way to use a random sample generator used to group people for randomized studies.

Yeah, of course. It was a tongue in cheek comment that didn’t land well.

If the adoption rate continues and quality of life improvements such as efficient mobile apps keep getting made, I think it’s inevitable. But I also think it can be a good thing, especially if the distributed instance culture with semi-independent communities persist. If the culture shifts so much to instances just being nodes into the larger “verse” so to speak, the general experience could shift a lot with it.

In any case, with all the different user experiences available already with Mastodon, kbin, lemmy, Calckey, Pixelfed and Peertube offering vastly different experiences into the same ecosystem, it’ll be a lot more diverse I believe as everyone will find their own comfort zone.

I don’t know how many sinks I have to let in at this point.

As well as higher average IQ, it feels like.

I’m a kbinaut tho, so don’t mind me.

I was gonna say I hypothetically play Star Citizen but you said no sarcasm so let’s pretend I never mentioned it.

When you actually need to convert, sure. For conversation, try it my way. It’ll be noticeably more efficient.

As someone who moved to the US later in life, I learned to use fahrenheit because there’s no way to talk to anyone about the weather or cooking otherwise.

If you need to do the same one day, don’t bother trying to convert in your head. Just learn the numbers conversationally. Familiarize yourself with how the weather feels with the number the weather app shows.

I can’t convert at all but I can use both C and F in conversation because one rarely needs exact numbers anyway. You learn the ballparks pretty quick.

I always order small, medium or large, and not once met a barista who made a comment about it.
