I haven’t seen a huge shift overall

What I have noticed is more early down votes that later get raised back into the positive.

Not sure why it is, though it did roughly coincide wit the most recent reddit migration. But that isn’t enough to assume causation. It’s a possibility, just not conclusive since it could be any number of things.

Eh, that seems like a shit ton of clutter for no real benefit.

As it is, if someone wants the info, it’s easy to get, but doesn’t add more junk to the UI

This is my favorite game, ever.

Well, video game anyway.

Why? It’s just silly enough, just simple enough, but also just challenging enough for that perfect casual gaming range that I prefer.

It’s almost like a game developer went looking to make something I can play even when I’m not in the mood to play.

What’s kinda weird is that the first few times I played it with my kid and wife, I didn’t like it. I’ve never liked first person play at all. But after a while, I got used to the and could actually kick back and enjoy the vibe.

Besides, there’s a quest in one section where the first half is all a set-up for a Sepultura reference. How the fuck can I not love that? Like, you know that whoever was working on that part was high as fuck, listening to the specific track, and went “heh heh heh, this is gonna be awesome”, and drops in the punchline that’s so subtle you don’t catch it unless you know the band and are paying attention.

It’s basically a game built good borderlands fans that are also d&d geeks.

Word. A company that says “hey, you own it, if you want to do the work” is a good thing

Ngl, when I do the occasional tablet or phone repair for someone that isn’t family or a friend, that’s around what I end up charging, with parts included, depending on the job. It’s extremely rare I’m willing to, but fucking around inside tight fitting devices with tiny screws and easy to screw up parts just isn’t something I’ll do cheap if I’ll do it at all.

Thank you again.

I really appreciate it

Much appreciated!

Welllll, it has been all consumer stuff. Currently a tplink that was what I could get here the quickest after the netgear I used to have died during the hurricane last year.

Apparently, I just ended up with bad gear. It has been pretty much all consumer stuff though, at least since about 2008. Before that, my best friend was handling the network, and I had no idea at all what was going on, he just kept it working, but he was working as a network tech during that time.

Hey, thank you very much. I’m looking to dump the damn tplink I got when the hurricane screwed up things here and the previous one got fried. Being able to update like that is a damn attractive thing.

I’ve yet to have a router make it past five years or so, so I call malarkey

Edit: this is why I love lemmy. What started as an offhand comment has ended up with me getting great advice from awesome people. It really made my evening a great one, no bullshit.

Damn, I can hear the wheezing from here

That’s a lotta fucking Newports

Yeah, you block and report. That’s all you can do

Yeah, things like tags and the nsfw flag makes sense. It’s a useful tool that doesn’t hurt anyone, and reduces the hassles involved in removing a post just because there were errors in that surface level stuff.

Now, editing the content, no. Hell no.

The nsfw flag is the more important one tbh.

But, tags allow users to search and sort things (or ideally would, no idea what the actual implementation might be). Having consistent tagging for that purpose is a net plus as a user because if mods can change them, then when you search or sort, there’s a higher chance that the results will be consistent. When users pick their own tags and they can’t be changed, results get messy unless a mod removes the post, contacts the user, tells them what tag to use, then watches to make sure they use it when they repost/edit.

There’s no use for tags other than sorting, searching and filtering. So a mod kinda needs to be able to change them if they’re in place at all

Yah, that’s fun. But that’s also short term. Long term, you end up having to find stuff to do more than just drift.

Heck yeah! I got taken out of work by physical stuff, and finding ways to make a fulfilling life is what kept me going for a long time.

Nah, no judgement at all!

I think part of that gap is whether or not the retirement is a choice, and how much you can engage in life.

See, for you, you actually still have a “job”. You have a shape to your life, a purpose, a structure.

As people get older, there’s less of that. And, sometimes less ability to engage in the fun stuff.

It’s all situational, really.

Legit though, it isn’t as cool as its cracked up to be.

Yeah, rocket league is a sport game more than anything else, technically.

And, yeah, most rpgs are going to be better than all but the best sports games. It’s the sameness factor. One baseball game is much like another in what you’ll see and do on screen.

Not that rpgs can’t get samey, but they’re less so

No, it isn’t better to rebut stupid arguments. It’s a waste of time to read them in the first place.

When idiots keep repeating the same stupidity, you have to nip it in the bud before it gets rolling.
