People can always find problems if they look hard enough, lol. There are probably some legitimate complaints about Lemmy, but nothing is perfect. I find their messaging weird though. Like, you can be pro Piefed without having to be anti Lemmy. Seems needlessly combative to me.
It appears to be a Piefed community. You can see it on Lemmy through the magic of federation though.
I meant in the comments. At the time I posted there were only two other comments and both in the negatives, but nothing else. The post was, and still is, decently upvoted.
You ever try any Spritz reading apps on it? Spritz is an e reading software that displays one word at a time at whatever words per minute you choose. Good for speed reading, but for some reason it’s controversial amongst my reading friends lol. My Boox Nova 3 can play videos, so I’m sure the Palma has the refresh rate
What all do you use your Palma for? Can you get any third party apps on it? I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago and it’s great for taking notes, but a palm sized eReader has been pretty alluring to me for a while.
Lots of down votes here, but not a lot of discussion… Bots?
And yet you didn’t capitalize Mario. Interesting.
Is this now a fight between random internet strangers? Are we supposed to use slurs? (JK, just in case)
Totally fair! Nothing can appeal to everyone, and I would never be accused of having average tastes. Loads of people seem to like Mario Cart Kart, but playing it makes me want to Kyle my way through a wall. I had just played Prey Mooncrash, and was jazzed up on the loop mechanic. If I played again I may feel differently.
I play every Dishonoured game every year, and Deathloop feels similar. It’s more like a new book from your favorite author, but in a different genre than they usually write in. Definitely feels closer to Prey gameplay wise (I also highly recommend Prey).
There is not as much interaction with the story NPCs, and there is less of a focus on stealth. I found myself murdering way more than with Dishonored. That said, I really enjoyed the powers offered in the game, the quick “restarting” of the loop, and the overall story was good.
I really enjoyed Deathloop, so here’s a recommendation from a random internet stranger 👍
Us harvesting the meme lords
Plugging Lemmy.ca for any Canadians getting stranded by this. Non-Canadians are also welcome, I’m not your boss.
Neat, someone else played this game! I really enjoyed it myself. Dropping a comment so I remember to read the whole post after work.
Wow, like not even a little bit right.
The secretary responded: “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”
54% of the time it’s right 98% of the time
Yeah, 100%. It’s just that usually when something like this gets a large-ish negative reaction it’s because people associate it with furries or some other “taboo” fetish/lifestyle.
I also find that furry stuff gets way more hate than it deserves (which is none hate). I say boo to that! So long as stuff is consensual and nobody gets hurt (who doesn’t want to, lookin’ at you BDSM), then let people enjoy things.
Side note: It’s hilarious how for years people were cheering on Captain Kirk for banging green alien chicks, but cat ears and a tail is a no-go. Cross-species stuff is cool so long as they’re from another planet? What if it was planet Yiff? On the topic of aliens, do we even know if Superman has a human-like penis? Maybe Kryptonians bust onto egg clutches, who’s to say?
Anywho, people are silly and really like policing other people’s likes.
Eh, I say let the furries have their fun. Like, they’re going to do stuff like this anyway. Might as well sell it to them.
Yeah. Like, maybe I’m misinterpreting the ruling, but it sure seems like the mod thought the meme was sexist. For the life of me I just cannot understand that perspective. I was trying to explain my feelings towards the trope in a way that I hoped relatable or understandable to the common person. That’s what memes are for, lol.
In the original R&M scene Rick is literally the villain. He abuses his power of creation to make a machine seemingly capable of independent thought and feelings, and then condemns it to a menial existence. The humor is derived from empathizing with the poor little guy. That feels like a perfect metaphor for the refrigerator trope to me.
I could have instead posted a purely academic analysis of the trope, but that’s not exactly a meme is it?
When I first navigated to the community it said 0 posts, but when I refreshed they showed up. It still said 0, but I could see them. Leaving and coming back fixed it though. I don’t know if that’s on Lemmy’s side or the app I’m using (Boost).
I keep forgetting about the dev issues, lol. Deffo legitimate problems one might have with a software for sure. I don’t run into that a lot over here on Lemmy.ca though, which is nice.
I stand by my assessment though. It’s still weird to me to promote one thing by shooting down another. Feels too much like politics in North America to me. They could have made a “Support Piefed” community instead.
