- Comment on Cannot load additional pages in Jerboa 3 days ago:
Just chiming in to say I’ve been having the same issue. Pages beyond the first (so maybe about 10 posts or so at a time) will not load and get stuck with a red “pages failed loading” error at the bottom of the screen in Jerboa. This behavior started over the weekend. All other navigation seems fine, I can go to a community and sort by any of filters but only the first page of posts will be visible. I’ve got about a half dozen different accounts on different instances and the issue only happens when logged into this instance at this time.

Ah, thanks for the correction I’ll edit the comment. I always think NC for some reason, but both Carolinas are pretty interchangable in my mind.

Huh, that’s somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.
- Comment on Your stupid decal finally makes sense! 1 month ago:
I’ll copy my response to the other person who was confused.
In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, NC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.
That’s about it.

I’ll never not read those stickers as “Slut Life” because of the idiotic font they chose.
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 1 month ago:
It’s not gatekeeping, it’s a discussion of semantics. The official definition of cooking is the preparation of food by using heat.

You have to go more Im13andthisisdeep with it:
‘When a set has no elements we call it empty. It’s always unique, but contains nothing inside it. What is something else in your life that is also so simple and empty, yet utterly unique?’
Then you wait for a hundred replies, 50 listing various containers that are special to them and the other 50 telling you it’s their soul that’s empty.
- Comment on Final Fantasy Creator Reveals Which Entry He Thinks Is 'Most Complete', and It's Not Final Fantasy 7 2 months ago:
For anyone that’s curious but doesn’t want to click on an ad-riddled IGN link - it’s FF 6. No they really don’t elaborate why, the best idea of ‘why’ you get is that it was the last game with pixel art.
- Comment on Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed. 2 months ago:
I was specifically asking how Deadlock felt.
I’ve played quite a bit of MOBA’s before, coincidentally the other big third person ones Smite and Paragon, so I’ve got a decent feel for builds and macroplay and I’m not necessarily worried about those aspects.
I grew up as a console gamer but exclusively play on PC now so I’ve found for fps games I have trouble competing because my aim isn’t as great.

I really wanted battleborn to succeed on release even though it was just kind of flawed from a design standpoint. I kind of gave up on competitive fps games though since then though.
With how chaotic the fights look like and how high the ttk looks to be, is the game still fun at lower-mid skill levels?
- Comment on The Final Fantasy 9 upscale mod just got a surprise update after 3 years, including a 'full rework' of its backgrounds, 120 fps, ultrawide, and more 3 months ago:
Honestly I kind of just figured I was going to take the L with how much I know is modified. I appreciate you doing the legwork and letting me know!

I’m a new Steamdeck owner so I just wanted to get used to the console honestly. I have Moguri installed on PC, but I have a hard time playing jrpgs on anything but handhelds nowadays.
I know there are tutorials, but at this point I’d mostly be worried that it’s not compatible with an existing save. I don’t want to redo all the Choco Hot and Cold 😂

Damn. I just finished the first disk on a playthrough on Steam deck with the base remaster. I had seriously considered modding it at first but didn’t and now I regret it 🥲
- Comment on I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? 3 months ago:
The way it was always explained to me was anything containing even a small amount of caffeine was problematic. I appreciate you correcting me on this.
- Comment on I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? 3 months ago:
They’re serious about following the rules because their entire social and community structure stresses conformity. If you break the norms of the faith there are serious repercussions and you can lose your entire family, community, and support structure. When they’re alone with others who aren’t of the faith they are definitely far more lax. I’ve drank beer and even had chocolate with Mormons before lol.

I have family in Utah and there’s a pretty common joke in this vein.
Why do you always invite two Mormons to a party? ::: Because if you only invite one they will drink all your beer. :::

The bear has a circle beard. A goatee is traditionally only the hair under your chin, but the definition is pretty loose nowadays.
- Comment on Mildred 4 months ago:
This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.
It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]
The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.

- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 months ago:
I was in his stream when people sent him the contract they signed just to get the key. Wild. The game is janky looking as fuck so they definitely know how bad it is.
- Comment on I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” 6 months ago:
unparalleled equine realism
This is going to be the Red Dead realistic horse testicle thing all over again isn’t it

- Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream 6 months ago:
No, I dont and if you truly need to be pedantic, a logarithmic curve makes even less sense. It’s a generally linear experience curve with each level being about 20-30% more than the previous, but the number get exceptionally large after a while. Level requirements aren’t scaled based on time required, they’re scaled on number experience points required.

Oh damn, that’s even worse! Thanks for the correction, I edited my edit 😝

The game has exponential level growth. The amount of time it takes to go from level 1-250 is like the same as the time it takes to go 298-299…Everyone has a breaking point.

It’s definitely not a publicity stunt. I don’t know if you’ve ever played the game, but it is soul-crushingly grindy because leveling is the game. It’s been around for almost 20 years and ever year they make it more and more pay to win.
- Comment on Advanced Maths 6 months ago:
It’s weird how true this is. Complex Analysis was a little weird conceptually sometimes, but it made sense once you wrap your head around the complex plane structure. Proofs in Real Analysis felt like they were basically just gibberish to support the existing calculus.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 6 months ago:
There was potential legislation and a lot of congressional probes in the mid-late 2000’s in the US that essentially forced cellular carriers to publicly admit that it cost next to nothing on their end to send SMS messages(like 10^-7^¢ per message) yet they charged insane premiums for them of 20¢ per message. This ended up being the catalyst for US carriers dropping most SMS charges to stay competitive while the rest of the world just changed over to alternate messaging services to avoid the fees instead like you said.
