Beehaw even said they'll refederate with certain instances if/when moderation tools improve. The main problem is that there's not a lot you can do to block off problematic users from instances on an individual basis.

And I bet Alfred Nobel is still rolling in his grave for that considering the whole reason he proposed the Nobel Prizes.

It's not nearly as complex as it initially looks imo, but I also play with a million mods some of which make the game needlessly complicated so maybe the vanilla game just looks simple in comparison to me now lol

Will Balder's Gate 3 patchnotes become the new Sims 3 patchnotes?

Not really, but less because of changing appearances and more due to having to deal with the health issues that come along with it. Also, I feel like the human lifespan is way too short including even the best case scenarios with our current technology, but that may change in the future.

Going inside of it obviously

I'm trying out socel.net if you're still looking? They say it's animation focused but all visual art is welcomed. I only just joined so idk a whole lot about it though, or if it's any better in terms of drama.

For me I have rules I set for myself when pirating, and generally try to reserve it for if it's something I'm unlikely to see or get otherwise (like how stuff is exclusive to a million different streaming services now, or older games that don't have an official re-release) or there's ethical reasons I don't want to support it (Like some EA stuff and Adobe, though so far the only [arguably] accessible PC games I've pirated are the Sims 3 and 4)

If it's indie stuff and [non-text]books I try to avoid it if possible.

Tankies taking over left wing subs.

Stopped Facebook years ago, stopped Reddit because of the API changes, and now trying to stop Twitter except for maybe posting art.

I'm mostly on Tumblr now, but I'm also trying some newer social sites such as here, Cohost, Inkblot (more art focused), and Masto.
