Fugit

Taking her gift out of the freezer a few minutes before she unwrapped it must have clued her. She just pretends to be surprised.

Personally, communists don’t bother me. Transphobic developers, however, don’t make me want to use their software.

ooh is there a list of piefed instances from most popular to most endorsements?

There’s a built-in instance list on piefed when you click on “register”. It’s sorted by server speed. The most popular must be piefed.social.

And specifically ones that tailor to solarpunk/anarchism/lgbtq+?

In reverse order, piefed.blahaj.zone for a lgbtq+ instance, and anarchist.nexus as well as quokk.au for anarchist ones. @povoq@slrpnk.net mentioned the possibility of a solarpunk piefed instance in the past, but it’s yet to become something concrete.

i wonder why everyone shifted to piefed? is it because one of the lemmy devs had a controversial past?

I think it’s half because piefed has more features, develops faster than lemmy, and half because the lemmy devs are pricks (one being a transphobe, and the other not being all that bothered by it).

I’m fine with awareness, it genuinely made me a better person than I was over time. What’s eating me is powerlessness. There’s so much to do, nobody wants to organize, and I lack the kind of wealth, connections, and skills that would make my little person influential enough alone…

He had been arrested by the time I came back with my grocery bags. He was the “get out of my lawn” kind of guy, who could pick a fight for the most benign reason. Last I heard of him was when his nephew emptied his house some years later. He’d been placed in a psychiatric ward.

Damn, that’s heavy. I genuinely hope you’re both in a better and happier situation right now.

Back when I was 17, I had a neighbor pull a gun right to my forehead. I shoved him away and said, in essence, “yeah, fuck you with your BB gun, I have some shopping to do”. He shot another neighbor in the gut not long after. I avoided death by dumbfounding him in a way that sound like it comes right out a daydreaming teenage fantasy.

Looking at this more benevolently, the teacher might be wishing that this kid’s generation will end up being more conscious and willing to act than his own.

That reminds me I should probably move The Demon-Haunted World to the top of the pile… Again…

If they survive my cats, rather than kicking them out, I catch and dispatch them inside the house. They more than deserve it.

That’s it. And it seems like they don’t stop at “mere” transphobia: https://mastodon.social/@alatiera/115272605624599561

Edit: Browsing by “active” threads, I didn’t see that this one was two weeks old. Oh well 😅

I’ve been tempted by Daybreak, but I’m still not sure if I want to resume playing Trails. There’s some building blocks that soured me heavily on the series (still, it’s less categorical than the “screw this” from some years ago.)
I stopped at the end of CS3, which was something of a last chance after being disappointed by CS2 and Azure (I’m ready to be crucified 😝). Didn’t even watch the credits, that cliffhanger ending felt like one slap too many…

I won’t say it gingerly: this head is red!

I might be extrapolating because she’s currently courting a maga company, but she did make the backhanded insinuation that trans people are child molesters here, didn’t she?

They don’t have any JRPG franchise that they are making these days, right?

Currently they only have Monster Hunter Stories, whose third episode will come out next year.

I’ll keep playing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which I didn’t expect to enjoy so much. I’ve gotten older since I played Sky FC in 2012, my tastes have changed, and I gave up on this series with Cold Steel. And yet, the character writing makes them as vivid as they were so many years ago, the same goes for the world in which they evolve. I guess it’s Falcom that lost something along the way in that regard.

But if there is one thing Falcom hasn’t lost, it’s their ability to make enjoyable combat systems. The action part works well enough to be enjoyable, as expected from the makers of Ys, and does not overshadow the turn-based part, which offers a good challenge even on normal difficulty. I like having to think about what tools I have at hand and adjust my build accordingly for the more difficult fights.

Come on babe, go take a nap. You know that you always get all whiny when you’re drunk and sleepy.

Yes, pretty much all of his videos sit somewhere between review, narrative let’s play and walkthrough. Add to that some eastern-European/Russian culture inserts as well as an obsession for slavjank, and you have Warlockracy in a nutshell.

That’s exactly what I was going to say 🤣

Where would you display this if you were one of the lucky owners? As for me, I think it would fit lovely between the toilet brush and the tp holder.
