Dragon's Dogma 2 really has me like that now. I've waited years for this, and for the most part it's everything I expected. I love the new playable race, and I'm excited to try out the new vocations. I have a lot of fun just hunting monsters for other players' followers' quests, and finding things for them to potentially tell their own players about. In some ways it feels better than traditional multiplayer.

Also loving Helldivers 2, but now that I've unlocked almost everything it's no longer all I think about all day.

I also have socks with side indicators. They're designed to fit the feet, so the entire socks are asymmetrical. Theoretically you could go by the pattern, but when you're pulling socks out of a hamper it's a lot easier to match them via letters which you know are always at the ends. It's pretty convenient and makes it impossible to match them incorrectly, so I think it's a good design choice.

I believe this is usually covered by the fact that you can do just about anything you need to do over mail. I once ran into a government site that only worked on Edge.

You saw whatever hand you wanted to see. Have you considered that I'm gay and pro-choice, and I have legitimate reasons to worry that some corporations (e.g. Twitter) will try and start censoring support for these through selective enforcement of the current ToS?

What's more dangerous, your grandma being allowed to say racist things on Facebook, or marginalized groups being systematically silenced? You're missing the forest for the trees.

It's bad faith to argue that companies should be allowed to do things because they're already allowed to do those things. I see a little bit of that creeping in even here with the concept of "rights", as if corporations were humans. Laws can change.

It's good faith to ask if companies have too much power over what has become our default mode of communication. It's also good faith to challenge this question with non-circular logic.

Your assumption that I'm defending racism and bigotry is exactly why I think this stuff is important. You've implied I'm an insidious alt-rightist trying to dog whistle, and now I'm terrified of getting banned or otherwise censored. I'm interested in expressing myself. I do not want to express bigotry. But if one person decides what I said is even linked to bigotry, suddenly I'm a target, and I can lose a decades-old social account and all of its connections. And if that happens I just have to accept it because it's currently legal. It's so fucking stressful to say anything online anymore.

Resident Evil Outbreak. They've remade so many games and added so much PvP to the series, but Outbreak was an amazing and very fun co-op game that flopped because it used PlayStation 2 internet. I loved the game even offline and think it was way ahead of its time, and a rerelease with today's much more ubiquitous internet capabilities would be a hit, but they're obsessed with PvP game modes that I've seen very few people enjoy and most people hate. It would also give us more Raccoon City to explore, which I felt like they glossed over too much in the RE2 and 3 remakes.

Yup. I like OnlyFans posters in concept, but in practice, they've ruined every subreddit that allowed even as much as non-advertising posts from them. I hope Lemmy's mods will generally be a lot more cautious with posters like those. Business is just bad business for social media.

Well there's also things like fraud, perjury, false statements, and lying to hinder an investigation.

Tyler's Glamorous Wash. I used to buy the cheapest detergent I could find, and laundry was just a means to an end. Now I look forward to laundry because it freshens up my whole home for a week.

I often think about the silicon lifeform from A Martian Odyssey because of how uniquely different it is from the carbon-based lifeforms we're used to seeing even in science fiction.

Reddit also had this exact same issue. For every r/flashlight you'd have a r/flashlights, r/realflashlight, r/flashlight2, r/torches, r/handbright, etc. Then you'd even have niche subsubreddits like r/flashlightslightingupdarkrooms. I never really considered this a problem because I like having different options available to me. I never really see the same thing posted enough times for it to be a problem, so usually it's just twice as much content to subscribe to both, which I'm happy with. I wouldn't really consider communities to be competing with each other, and the redundancy is actually really nice as a user. You're free to only subscribe to the community you like more if you really want to limit your subscriptions for some reason.

Agreed - I want to come across as many communities as possible while I build my subscription list. I'd prefer if I could see all communities everywhere, but with the system the way it is, the next best thing is for everyone to subscribe to as many communities as possible. Please subscribe to anything you want!
