I’ll provide this.

If you’re not into vinesauce he’s an older variety streamer from the pre twitch days. Lot of his stuff is finding obscure and terrible games. Halflife amd its mods being a favorite of his.
This video is him explaining what it is, from an outsiders perspective. He goes through a some of the garbage explotive stuff that’s comming from it but also has his friend AgentRedJackel interview some fans of it via vrChat.
I found it was a good summary of everything you need to know without actually getting into it.
I mean I just get headaches when games do it too much.
I 100% agree with accessibility features. This includes some of the newer considerations.
I once saw a thing where a DM (D&D) had an anonymous survey of common sensitive topics. He’d gage what his players where comfortable with prior to starting a campaign and adjust the story accordingly. Games just need this.
Lol no, but they are segragated blades you can use the slot on the back of one knife to break the blade of another. I can at least be less stingey about keeping them sharp this way. As they are cheap ones the blades do not last very long and rust out with even a tiny amount of moisture.
Probably like 40-50 my rommate has a weird fascination with them. At some point they brought home a box if like 40 of the cheap ones. I assume it was part if some art thing they planed then never bothered with. Now they are all over the apartment.
This seems to be an issue here. So many communities but many ofbthem where created by users with no intent if actually managing them. Some of the communities I’m seeing have been built by users who are no longer active.
I can’t say if the kbin.random community is the same. But if we have communities running in pure anarchy then this is an issue which may get much worse.
I considered a simular answer, but realized I was given that same advice so often when I needed to hear it. I still ignored it.
Much to our detriment. The "heart"often circumvents all logic and reason. Especially to our younger selves.
Best we can do is try to instill a enough self worth that we become a little more stable. At least in my case I’d have been less willing to change who I am if I actually knew who I was.
From what I can gather the meme community was invested in some sort of “try not to poop” competition. Now they are posting beans to try and tempt eatchother into pooping.
Whatever promotes activity is good I suppose.
I suppose it’s a bit more sensible for news related subs. The reddits ines sre likley using bots to find the news and post it, though such bots may not exist for lemmy yet and its just easier to scrape from reddit.
But then I see somthing like the ask reddit sub on Lemmy. It’s just all of the questions none of the answers and no engagement at all. Some of the content is years old.Why does that need to exist? I can understand the idea of a reddit archive but why use lemmy for it?
I’m also wondering about the ethicacy of it. I’m annoyed at Reddit for not allowing me to delete my old content. There’s a lot of folks threating legal action and such over reddit denying people the right to remove that content. Now we are copying that content. I assume without consent of those who’d posted it, and adding it to our own platform.
Though perfectly legal, is that really a good idea? Is that what we as lemmy users actually want? does this actually improve the platform?
That is good advice. I hadn’t considered that.
Probably moving to a big city from a prondomity Mennonite village I grew up in. I am not a Mennonite myself, not religious either, just grew up in that kind of environment. A tiny unfinished suburb surrounded by miles of corn fields and cows.
Highlights include
having to idea how public transit worked I was riding the bus without paying for the first few months because I didn’t realize I needed to.
saw my first homeless people, saw women dressed “imodestly”, and tall buildings. These are not things that bothered me but certainly things I should have seen prior to my 20s. I had no clue how to interact with people outside my bubble.
having grown up with many siblings and close friends I was hit with a lot of loneliness. Definetly a low point.
I also had none of the skills needed to survive life on my own in a big city. Schools teach budgeting but they didn’t teach me to avoid scammers, where to shop, how to get places, housing, access to health services ect.
I’m still learning about 15 years later. Now it’s about assertive communication skills, legal knowledge, cultural histories, how to pay respects to indigionous cultures and why its important to do so, im understanding local politics and how to work with it.
Frankly that’s my favorite part of all this. I’m (slowly) learning, and feel like I am growing from being a part of the culture and not in a bubble.
I feel that. Reddit’s bit of an addiction for me. I don’t use other social media so it became my one stop shop for news, inspiration, and to connect with all the little niche intrest.
Oddly, I was frequently just doom scrolling r/all to see what was going on the the world. And when I ran out of revent stuff if just sort by new. Super unhealthy behavior.
Hopfully this transition will help me slow down a bit and get back to reality.
Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.
You need me to save data somewhere but don’t want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it’s not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it’s free.
