Hi
My name is Joe
And I work in a button factory
One wife.
Three kids.
And a dog WOOF WOOF

That is so sad.

(alexa play despacito. Do we still do that?)

I haven’t played CK2 yet, but if its DLC is like Stellaris or Cities: Skylines, it’s arguably usually worth it. Very expensive when you add it all up and not all DLC is worth it (e.g., the race packs of Stellaris aren’t really that interesting), but for how much play time you’ll get out of the game, it’s pretty great. I regularly think about how often I want to go back to Stellaris lol. Part of the reason I haven’t tried CK2 yet is because I’m pretty confident that I’ll love it and be sucked in for weeks.

As someone who enjoys games and loves to discuss them, it’s really disappointing what so many gamers are like. I like to call them “capital-G gamers” to differentiate them from those who simply enjoy games as a hobby.

Capital-G gamers are the ones who do stuff like send death threats to people who gave their favourite game a bad review. They’re the ones who will review bomb a game because the game includes the “political” gender (i.e., women). They’re also the ones who will ardently defend toxic practices like lootboxes. That one probably isn’t the same individuals as the other examples – the point being that capital-G gamers are a diverse group that can largely be summed up by one character trait: toxic.

I love r/patientgamers. Is there an active fediverse magazine somewhere? I searched and the largest one so far seems to be @patientgamers.

Ah, thanks. Done! To save anyone else thinking similar from having to scroll up, it’s: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

kbin currently has a bug with the !Utah@kbin.social syntax. Your link becomes https://kbin.social/c/Utah@kbin.social, which isn’t valid (should be https://kbin.social/m/Utah). It’s a little weird because while the c/ part is what we’d expect if it was a Lemmy sub, it still shouldn’t be repeating the domain. I’m sure that’ll be fixed shortly, though. Maybe I’ll go dig into the code myself.

At any rate, the @Utah@kbin.social syntax should work in kbin. I’m unclear if it works for Lemmy. Here’s a link so you can try it: @Utah

EDIT: filed https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199

Yeah, I’m sure lots of it is people starting a community with genuine intentions, but then they decide “actually, I don’t wanna use this site anymore”, so they abandon it and will never see your messages.

I think more of it may happen because there’s likely plenty of people who came to the Fediverse sites because of the Reddit blackout and then will just go back to Reddit. IMO it’s important that server admins have an easy way to reassign communities.

I noticed this too. I believe that Lemmy communities (and perhaps also Kbin magazines – I haven’t checked) don’t have a “default all posts to NSFW”. Thus, every individual poster must remember to mark their post as NSFW. If you look at the community view (https://kbin.social/m/gonewild@lemmynsfw.com), you’ll notice that most posts are marked as NSFW and properly blurred in kbin, but some posts aren’t marked NSFW.

So yeah, basically we need the ability for communities/magazines to be NSFW by default, as we can’t depend on posters remembering to do so. There will always be some times when they forget.

EDIT: I’ve confirmed that kbin magazines have an option to make the whole magazine NSFW by default. Can any Lemmy users check if there’s a Lemmy equivalent yet? If it exists, then it’s a community configuration issue. If it doesn’t exist, someone who knows where the Lemmy issue tracker is should go file a feature request.

Thank god the NFT avatars are no more. If any Fediverse instance tries to support NFTs, we must collectively agree to nuke them from orbit (or at least block the server from the rest of us).
