You and I have wildly different associations with this construct.

To me it sounds like silly phrasing. Just another version of “doth protest”

Oh wow you just unlocked a previously lost memory!

Pretentious though?

???

Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.

A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying

I remember the first time I discovered Comic Sans. Probably like many other people - I was playing around with fonts on a school computer, and was like whoa… what is this font, I love it! It’s like a comic book!!!

Like seriously what is not to love.

Then my generational cohort of cynical millennials took to the internet and bonded over mutual hatred, and dragged this poor typeface which only ever wanted to bring a little levity to otherwise cold, machine produced text.

Yeah they play the loser and we play the woke angel, it’s kind of win-win because they get whatever it is they get, and we get to feel smart and superior.

AI has kind of taken the fun out of it, though… like for real, convincing sounding, dog whistle sprinkled, trollish duck speak is so easy to generate, I struggle to care about interactions on main socials. I mean I don’t go there, but if I did…

It’s beautiful

Yeah it means things got pretty heated

Not watching this trailer. We go in blind, zero expectations

This seems really cool!! And I love to see alternatives to git. But @MITM0@lemmy.world, you need to cool it on the replies. You’re making the Fossil community look hostile by association.

Does that include demo costs?

I think the tree next to that hacked together shed is probably safer to live in
