We have achieved balance.

Once that flower started zooming, it got real. That fight took me way longer than I thought it would.

Hmm, must be a display issue for me in Voyager then. Good to know!

I can’t seem to fix the crosspost here.

Good ones too.

The Enterprise looks great, of course, but all the space around it is absolutely beautiful. I bet that took some time!

I’ve heard the name before, but unfortunately I never really used those forums back in the day. If it’s still going, I might have to check it out.

I really want to see federated, non-corporate social media succeed.

Yeah, and it encourages self-censoring too, on top of the punishing effect of downvotes.

It’s frustrating because I really like the readable structure of Reddit-style platforms and find stuff that follows the Twitter model chaotic and disorganized. The classic forum style is fair, but it’s also hard to keep up with high activity threads unless you spend time to read the whole thing in chronological order. I don’t know what the ideal setup would look like.

They muted and permabanned me from the sub.

In my response to this post earlier, I mentioned that one of the problems (which unfortunately reddit shares too) is hostility to other viewpoints, and this is a good example of how that is perpetuated. When a culture on a platform is too homogeneous, disagreement becomes so shocking that it’s seen as “trolling”, “bad faith”, “offensive”, etc. I think it’s partially a symptom of the reddit-like structure of voting + active moderation, but it’s also very much the culture.

You presented your points well and fairly, and even if you hadn’t, I think we all need to get comfortable with the fact that normal humans sometimes interact in a manner that doesn’t sound like an HR mediation session, and that’s ok too.

They are far from the first person who has bailed on Lemmy because of the culture, and their characterization of it isn’t far off. I keep saying that Lemmy needs normies for longevity, because most people find constantly on politics incredibly exhausting and won’t want to join if they think it’s the lefty version of Truth Social.

I’m not saying people should avoid talking about stuff they care about, just that the platform could benefit from everyone being less hostile to wider perspectives and maybe also working on building up more content without a heavy political focus.

I realized that no matter what stat I level, I’m just going to find a normal weapon that scales with it and effectively fight the same way. I’m probably never going to rely on actual spells or anything.

If you’re like me, once you get into the Souls series, it’ll be all you want to play for a while.

There’s a stack of these up front next to the baskets.

I’m just uhh… opening up the position.

Games like Dark Souls.

If you search that tag on steam in 2026 though, you’ll see it applied to literally anything.

I played Blasphemous 1, but I still need to get to 2. I really enjoyed the first one.

The Princess Bride

Yeah, but being able to conceive of it is a pretty cool consolation prize at least.

You’re right, only flamingo lady looks scared.
