@PurpCat It isn't just Mastodon or the queer Pleroma/Akkoma instances. Even some free-speech/RW instances will block others for dumb reasons.

Honestly, I think the whole blocking feature is the Fediverse's greatest weakness. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freedom of association, but given that at least one of the major ActivityPub implementations built it's entire existence around it means that we pretty much have a broken network and it locks people into echo-chambers. At least Nostr, despite it's flaws makes you judge everyone on an individual basis and not be at the whim of what your server admin wants you to see.

@neko @binkle I use factory classes for enemies. Otherwise, I would be using a ton of import statements in my level class.

It looks like there are now three parts of the fediverse: the Mastodon side, the "free-speech side", and the instances that are allowed to federate with threads.

@skylar @LordMordred SPOILER THAT SHIT!!! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO EAT!!!

@beardalaxy It's not a true Scrabble game unless you put on music from the PC CD-ROM games from the 90s.

@lesbianBot That's a little redundant there.

@Alex https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-to-cook-pasta-in-the-microwave

@Alex Plenty of tutorials online.

@Alex Microwaves still use fire from the power plant.

I am becoming the master of cooking things in the microwave. I no longer need to use a stove or oven. I was able to literally cook pasta and make this obscure Croatian dish with it.

What kind of an idiot would make a simulation on the scale, that is going from star star cluters down to quarks.

What possibly could be a purpose of a simulation so leveled? Evolution based inter-galactic 4x strategy game?

Is CouchDB any good? I really need a simple document-oriented DB because I'm fed up with mind-bending, nested queries, and I had a hard time installing MongoDB. I also rather using something that is FOSS or is at least open-core.

@ArdainianRight The government only acts incompetent so that people will call for more government control. Like after mass shooting happens, everyone calls out the FBI for knowing about the mass shooter and doing nothing about it (thus calling for more government intervention), even though that was all part of the plan.

@ArdainianRight This is most likely just a psyop to give people false hope. I bet all federal government officials eat organic, filter fluoride from their water, and use natural chemicals because they know the effects, so the likelihood of them being gay is extremely low.

I swear, these people will literally take the most hachi-tier bait and do a response video on it. News flash: nobody ironically believes that white people can't cook. When most people think of a chef, the first thing that comes to mind is an Italian (or maybe French) guy.

I get why they made a response to someone complaining about the British restaurant being too white, but these guys really need to stop with shitty bait comments about White people can't/don't do X.

Does anyone else feel that cult-fanbases are just as bad, if not worse than fanbases for popular franchises? I mean it's nice that there are dedicated fans out there that keep the spirit of obscure and/or forgotten media/franchises alive, but I feel like the whole cult aspect cringe as these fans will even dedicate their entire lives around the franchise, and it prevents any criticism of the respective medium of franchise from happening. You might as well be pissing on bibles.

Case in point: the Mother series. These days, it's acceptable to point out it's flaws because it's now mainstream to the point that I really don't feel like it's a cult classic anymore, but before it was on the Wii U Virtual Console, you could not find anyone criticizing it. Every review had to bring up how "criminally underrated" it was and that "to play Earthbound is to love Earthbound". The only negative reviews I could find were ones made by trolls. I played Earthbound back in 2014, and while I liked the unique setting, I found the game to be clunky with it's limited inventory space, really tough enemies at the beginning, and lack of a dedicated run button. I played a lot of RPG and other games that are much better, but are even more obscure that Earthbound ever was.

It also just makes me cringe that these people will literally devote their lives to their beloved cult-classic. The Starmen.net crew literally built their careers out of their love for Earthbound through Fangamer and while that's good for them, I could never see myself having a single underrated classic change my life that way.

Maybe it's just me who gets uncomfortable around really close knit communities. I don't know. I just want to enjoy what I like, regardless of popularity, and not make it seem like I am now part of some special club for liking it.
