@icedquinn I wish there were more indiedevs on here, but most of them are on the "Mastodon Network TM" side. I'm also apparently, the only gamedev on Nostr.

@anemone Yeah. I've also noticed that most of the people who self-host instances are the ones who truly don't fit into the culture of any of the major instances and just want to post what they want.

@apropos Probably should've included Discord there in hindsight. Maybe Reddit could be lumped with number 6 as well, as both basically replaced forums.

@anemone I would, but from what I can tell, you have absolutely no control of what culture your community turns out to be unless you enforce it through moderation.

Modern online communities can be either one of these five cultures and it sucks:

1. Big-Tech walled gardens for "normies" where algorithms and bots influence how everyone is supposed to think
2. Neocon, Q-tard, and MAGA-tard echo chambers that are most likely just honeypots for tech-illiterate boomers and use APIs from Big-Tech, despite allegedly being meant to break free from the likes of Facebook, Amazon, and Google
3. Tech-bro lolbert echo-chambers where people talk about how Web 3, blockchain, and <insert integrated cryptocurrency that probably isn't private here> is going to save the world for real this time
4. Extreme far-left, anti-capitalist SJW communities that consider words like "crazy", "lame", and "dumb" as "ableist slurs", and end up cancelling each other.
5. Anime avatar shitposters who post anime lewds, wojaks, and variants of copypastas from /pol/

If you don't feel like you belong in any of these cultures then there isn't a place on the Internet for you, I guess.

@Pawlicker 8moe, zzzchan, and the webring boards all allow me to post with a VPN or Tor.

July, 20, 1969: 55 years ago, today, the first humans walked on the Moon. Good job, humanity.

Worked on the credits screen. I switched to a completely different format for the file. I also included my "company" logo at the end.

@burner Include advanced randomization and it will be harder to write a walkthrough.

@icedquinn Normally, said posts are on Minds, which has a slightly different culture, but still.

@SuperLutheran I wonder what @amerika thinks about this.

I really hate it when I stumble upon a post that I agree with and want to repost, but the post also shills some book/product/political candidate/etc which I know is frowned upon in these places and people would hate me for it.

@djsumdog
>and even then I wrote in Mike Graven and Ron Paul.

Sometimes, I still wonder if write-in voting could still work. Legally, the booths are required to count all votes from registered voters as valid (minus duplicates of course), but there is no way to enforce it. Maybe if we do get a majority to write-in and even if the majority of write-in votes are thrown away, it would be obvious, possibly even more than the 2020 election, and it will just incentivized the masses to revolt, so they *MIGHT* think twice before doing it. Ideally, the candidate should be someone with ZERO connections to congress, CIA, any megacorporations, or organizations, and should be independent from any party.

Who could that be? I don't know. Maybe @ShivaAyyadurai, but he wasn't born in America (though he claims that there is a loophole), and do you really think the CIA/Federal Reserve/Deep State/Bilderbergs/WEF/Club of Rome/etc are going to take kindly to the fact that an independent candidate who won an election solely from write-in votes. That person would have to be REALLY good at dodging assassination attempts.

However, I feel like real change is going to happen at the grassroots, at this point. James Corbett does SolutionsWatch if you want any examples. Miles Mathis also occasionally talks about solutions but from a more non-libertarian perspective and less frequently.

@teto @waltercool Shouldn't you just stop using Apple Products?

@BigDawg869789 The game is a bit of a cult classic so prices might be high on that one. If you get a flash cart you can just download ROMs to an SD card and play them on real hardware.

https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Version-Cartridge-Compatible-Sega-Genesis/dp/B07D3RTY5J (Much cheaper option, but slower load times when booting ROMs)

Crusader of Centy is also a good one. It's an action-adventure game that plays similar to 2D Zelda, but once again the cartridge is pretty expensive.

@BigDawg869789 Phantasy Star IV

@PeachySummer @binkle @PurpCat There is evidence that it was deliberate. They pushed a file full of null bytes to their agents which caused the BSoD on many computers.

@PurpCat @binkle @PeachySummer I'm guessing it was either some disgruntled Microsoft employee who wanted to do some sabotage or it's the cyberattack that Klaus Schwab was "predicting".
