Now this I can get behind!

What distinction are you making, here? Everybody seems, to me, to be a black box that only relates to others through their inputs and outputs. How else can I like someone, if not by what they put into the world?

Public transit is not necessary for a 1km distance.

Feudalism was worse, and despotism was even worse than that.

I’m ambivalent about day clocks, unless they’re too short. Stardew’s day is about twenty minutes, so is Minecraft’s, and about on par with old Harvest Moon games. When I played My Time at Portia, though, I had to go straight for the setting that doubles the length of the day. Now there’s a game with time pressure.

Calendars, though, I think are very important to a certain style of game. With Stardew, it reinforces the feeling of rhythm, ritual, and repetition that is what makes the game so cozy to begin with. A farming game needs a calendar. A cozy village life sim needs a calendar. Even The Sims is better with seasons.

Is that a typo, or you’re looking for a community based on casual racism?

My beloved sibling, what are you even talking about right now? I’ve never defended an authoritarian regime in my life. Or New York, for that matter.

I can concede that I was a little bit shitty.

it’s not called “unserious ask lemmy”

I almost never see US politics. This is because I browse by “subscribed”.

Earth will only be around for another five billion years or do, so no.

Yeah, Seth Rogan, too. Jason Segel has broken that mold, though, at least to me. And so has James Franco.

last time I played neither my gun nor vest was working right, major bummer

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

It’s a lot less common to see prominent links to RSS feeds on a website these days than it was, say, fifteen years ago.

I do, I’ve been music for a while about an app that had all my fediverse accounts in one place, a long with my email and possibly reddit (but, uh, without ads). I never check my email unless I’m expecting something and I think a big part of why is because it’s a separate flow from checking my other text-based social media.

I agree with Tilley that many of Chambers’s complaints seem Mastodon-specific, or at least not applicable to the threadiverse.

The only really big disagreement in philosophy I have is the complaint about direct messages not being private messages. We’ve all seen the way that private messages have been used to harass users on reddit. That direct messages don’t include an expectation of privacy on lemmy is, to me, a strength rather than a weakness; something that advantages the recipient over the sender, which is the balance of power we want.
