I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today....
I think like 93 million bc, there's a cave gorilla that's basically two shotting all my characters. Or I can go to a festival present day where the princess doesn't want to talk to her dad.
I was in the wrong era, lol. I had to go to 600AD and I was way over leveled. I'm currently on a mission called Tata and the frog after getting the broken matamuse
"The neighbors for miles around stepped out at the sound of his boisterous ejaculation mocking the ugly car, applause was heard throughout the evening."
My wife, a doctor, can support this conclusion. My doctor-wife says getting wet is a medical condition that other women should see my doctor wife about.
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
For those who don't get the joke, it's a play at the concept of the "both sides" argument of political and international relations, and the website is a pun on genocide. The joke being that by pretending to see everything through an objective lens, you're allowing the aggressors to commit genocide.
A man who narrowly survived an ebike battery fire that killed his partner and two children says he is tormented by grief and guilt but determined to fight to change the law to avoid similar tragedies....
The article specifically mentions he couldn't afford the $600 battery that pays for official certification that is likely very expensive so he opted for the cheaper unregulated one. I'm willing to bet he let it charge overnight as well.
I just never let my ebike batteries charge unless I'm home and awake. But mine are the expensive ones as well.
This might sound twisted, but something that helped me take more time to myself was when a guy who was "the only one who could answer certain questions" with something like 30 years of experience in our field dropped dead of a heart attack at home. We figured out what we needed to figure out soon enough and his position wasn't filled for a year because five or six of us took up the tasks he was in charge of... My point being, no one is irreplaceable. Disconnect when you're not at work.
So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there's a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of rules...
If we could get blue voters to vote with the same fervor as the insane right (who vote at if their very existence is at stake) there would never be a red president or Congress again.
I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...
Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Testament, and some Pantera. People online shit all over them for whatever reasons. Megadeth and Pantera, I get. Lead singers are both assholes.

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I'm part of. Maybe I'm concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...
LMAO, that is pretty funny. It was random, but if you read the meme the distracted boyfriend is looking at the not suped up version. It's obvious the meme and word were not connected. The mod was just being an asshole. Hilarious that that is even a phrase though.
You're good. My feed is actually much healthier today and you're right, blocking the tankies was a good move. I liked knowing what they said, but I'm getting such more diverse posts now. I got my answer in this thread, we're chili.
I mean, I remember way back when, some people called suped up cars "rice burners." I've certainly never heard it applied to a computer. But meh, I can see your points. Still blocking them because I don't know how many times I need to read that China good US bad, so it's a win in the end.
Hey guys! My name is cod, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know there's a change in the mod team now. As you probably know, the creator of this community decided to leave and made a post asking if anyone would be interested in taking over.

It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July?
