I have. It’s good. I hadn’t played since EA in 2022 (hence my comment).
Lots more polish and finishing touches. I’m quite impressed especially because it felt pretty complete back then.
- Comment on Foundation - Foundation 1.0 Is Now Available! - Steam News 2 days ago:
The 1.0 release is much different and much improved compared to how it was in 2022 though. I’d say it counts anyway!

Not a problem I’ve ever had but I’m glad you found a solution to your problem!

Got it, that makes sense!

I don’t understand what you mean by “cutting too deep. It’s supposed to cut all the way through, that’s the whole point.

It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.

Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.

Why would you get hate for that? Just because a company that sells cheese also sells raw milk when they probably shouldn’t?

We were talking about twitter. Stay with the program please.

Nope.
as a user, “you retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. What’s yours is yours you own your Content (and your photos and videos are part of the Content),” although you also grant Twitter a license to use the content, which authorizes it “to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.” Based on this language, other twitter users are also licensed to copy and redistribute your posts by “retweeting” them.

You do have some control, in the form of copyright. Also the analogy doesn’t hold up well since you’re not using their “pen” and they only let you reach inside through the window. And the audience is outside the house.
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
It most certainly does not. Source: have a tree, a lawn, and no interest in spending time raking leaves.
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
Hah, I forgot that there are actually lots of suburban places that have no sidewalks. I was more talking about how no one walks and everyone drives, but it seems everyone interpreted that to mean specifically the driving lanes.

You think anybody is walking on the street in the US?

But “level isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.

It was that in combination with the “engine-generators” yes. Made it unclear.

What’s with the math in the middle of your comment?

You can but it bothers me that it exists, shitting on everything.

Well, this changes things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So … if I tag !boobs@lemmynsfw.com I should be able to see it?
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 months ago:
tends to be extremely hostile to any sort of monitization
This is a good thing, seeing as how monetization has ruined other things, the web newspapers in particular.

Authoritarian communists, especially those not native to such a state.
Currently it’s mainly the folks who believe China in particular can do no wrong. Historically it refers to supporters of the USSR in Britain
Specifically, it was used to distinguish [CPGB] party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
More recently it’s applied online especially to people who are knee-jerk anti-capitalist or anti-US, “if the US/‘west’/capitalism is wrong then anyone who opposes them must be right”
More generally, a tankie is someone who tends to support “militant opposition to capitalism”, and a more modern online variation, which means “something like ‘a self-proclaimed communist who indulges in conspiracy theories and whose rhetoric is largely performative.’”

Lemmynsfw does pretty well. It’s a shame that the main instances don’t federate with the porn instances, but it does nicely prevent either from overwhelming the other.

I hate it because it shows up everywhere and adds nothing of value while displaying busy formatted text. If it lately shows even less meaningful content, that barely seems possible.

I’d rather not. Not sure if you can view the mod log for other people’s accounts, but if so it’s easy to spot from mine.
I’ll say that I have some sympathy because dealing with internet randos is painful soul-sucking work and it’s easy to default to the ban-hammer, but…

Like: decentralization and a renaissance of the old- school dream of what the Internet should be.
Dislike: media bias fact checker bot spamming every damn post. Power tripping mods.

I dunno, Wii seemed to manage it just fine.

BioForge was particularly impressive for the time, with mixed pre-rendered graphics.
