I used to play RF2 multiplayer on GameCube with my brother when we were kids. We’d go onto that space map and try to snipe each other from across the map with the railgun.

The early RF games are really underrated.

The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I’ve used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.

I’ve been wanting a replacement for ages now. The problem is that Discord does everything it does very well (with a few exceptions), way better than any of its competitors. It’s incredibly hard to replace, because no other product really matches it in any category. Cost, ease of use, feature set, cross-app API support… Nobody else comes close; even if you paid a ton of money for premium services to replace Discord, you’re still likely going to downgrade your overall experience.

I really want to see more competition in this space.

He’s a money-maker for Twitch, so I can’t imagine it’ll be more than a week. Two weeks if they’re actually mad at him.

I’m pretty sure that just doing “quick searches” is exactly how he ended up with AI answers to begin with.

Elon heard about this troublesome letter out there, so he just fired the entire postal service.

I’m not so sure they’re trolling. I think they just have an opinion that is very unpopular here, but their history at least shows consistency in that opinion.

Gonna be honest, I’m not sure I agree with the mods removing his comment in this thread. If he wants to farm downvotes, that’s his prerogative, but I don’t think the mods should be removing comments just because it’s a particularly hot take. That’s an overreach that manipulates the narrative, in my opinion.

Characters should have some level of permanence to them. If there’s no consequence to rerolling stats, then you’re not playing a “character”, as much as you’re equipping a stat loadout. Limiting spec rolls is pretty standard.

Which is an outcome I actually worry about, if they implemented this feature in Funkwhale. A fascist fork of the app existing and having a userbase gives it legitimacy. It immediately sells itself to those people: “Come to our free speech music platform” will bring in a lot of new users, very easily.

“Man who works 10 hours per year tells underlings to work 60 hours per week.”

I’m a bit torn on the idea, myself. On one hand, fuck fascists, don’t let ‘em have an inch. But on the other hand, this does kinda take away a users’ freedoms with the software.

Honestly, I think it’s fine if it’s a plugin or something that you can install at your own discretion or something. Or if it’s baked-in, it should be an opt-in setting. I’m of the opinion that the actual software, itself, should be apolitical. It’s something I can respect the Lemmy devs for, after all; even though I disagree with their politics, the actual Lemmy code is politically agnostic, and I think that’s for the best.

I thought this was for stat distributions at first, which would be annoying, but at least somewhat understandable. But this actually seems to be just cosmetic re-rolling, which is just absurd.

I get it if a developer doesn’t want it to be free to reroll a character’s appearance. But don’t charge them money for it, just make them do a quest or something. God damn.

I don’t think Iowa was that hot of a tourist destination to begin with.

You can’t platform the richest man in the world.

Dang, there went all my legitimate plans for signal jamming.

Damn, that sucks. 39’s still so young.

If only there was some way to have prevented this.
