“Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so,"
Well now how did you make that request?

Well, if the user that started that community is an alt of who I think it is, that… that would track.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
What I find interesting here is that this all self identification and self reporting.
There’s no mechanism in Lemmy to force a user into such identification, so it is all voluntary.

Reading ‘Idibiks’ slammed my brain into a PTKFGS wormhole all of a sudden.
- Comment on Replacing Wooden Edges 1 week ago:
Quarry spalls are much more irregular than bricks, so it’d be a much rougher edge. Sounds like the edgers are the desired product, so by all means that’s what mattera.
For the concrete edgers I’d just lay an inch or two of sand and tamp it down firm. A tamped sand foundation is much easier to set and keep level than your average soils, and better for drainage and seasonal shifts (freezing). You’ll be having to keep 80 concrete edgers straight and even instead of maybe 10 wood boards.
- Comment on I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1 1 week ago:
Oh absolutely. FromSoft looks at what players do and then troll that directly in the DLC.
Trying to remember… Artorias just required not being greedy and just casting after his full spin move. I seem to recall it to be a matter of spacing, similar to Bell Bearing Hunter in Elden Ring, you can get him to predictably chain the same punishable moves. Or like DS3’s Gundyr or Pontiff for parry strats.
DS2 at least eventually despawns if you’re not in the champion covenent. And hexes are really powerful. (DS2 Brume Tower DLC crown replenishes spell uses over time, so you can Dark Fog the world if you can clear that one.)
- Comment on Replacing Wooden Edges 2 weeks ago:
There shouldn’t be much to be done other than setting in the edgers in the space left from removing the wood, although honestly I think it looks fine as-is. But I am biased towards wood and stone over concrete.
On that note, the $3+ dollars per edger is painful to see. That adds up quick. Might I suggest something like quarry spalls as an alternative option? I don’t know if the idea would suit your tastes but if you have a large area to cover it might suit your budget. But like I said: biased.
- Comment on I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1 2 weeks ago:
hopefully even in the DLC (but that one will be tough…)
If you mean Kalameet, I think it can actually be killed without Gough using magic. You just have to have good timing and great magic sheild, and snipe each flyby.
I remember Sanctuary Guardian being more tough than Artorias and Manus for my sorcery only run like… six years ago.
Nonetheless, good luck! Challenge runs are fun. I’ve only just started replaying Remaster since I’d only ever had PTDE.

I used photoshop tutorials on wastedyouth.org when it existed.
I’ve wasted more than my youth now.

Way to get him killed, with all that talking. Unless you’re some kinda servant of chaos or something.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome! Stopping (AI)crawlbots 3 weeks ago:
See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.
- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 3 weeks ago:
There’s been a multiyear crusade to oust .ml from the Fediverse with demands that the developers relinquish their instance servers to a third party and/or stop developing Lemmy altogether. That’s not an irrelevant context here given it is usually the same routine players.

Is Flayra not pursuing legal action against Krafton over this?
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 3 weeks ago:
A bit, yeah. Same username then as today. I was with NSArmsLab and BAD Clan mostly those days.
Weird to think that was 20+ years ago.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 3 weeks ago:
I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)
Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 weeks ago:
I have a steak maybe once a year, usually as a sudden or persistent craving. But other than that it was amazingly easy to convert to poultry for all my regular recipes. Very easy step to make without much thought.
Reducing dairy is my dietary wall.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 4 weeks ago:
Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”
Aand resume.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 4 weeks ago:
‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.
Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 4 weeks ago:
That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.
- Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there? 1 month ago:
There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.

Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 month ago:
I guess Nexon wasn’t happy with $6 million because the court found Dark & Darker wasn’t copyright infringement, but was an infringement of ‘trade secrets’.
If I remember 2023 correctly, Nexon decided to cut the game at the end of development and dumpster their work. So the devs left and finished the game on their own. Since Nexon never actually made/finished/released the game they couldn’t claim copyright.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 month ago:
distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

- Comment on Does Super Metroid get any better? 1 month ago:
Super Metroid is the first game I really explored breaking the mechanics and routing of progress. Perfectly timed bomb jumps, wall jumps, etc to access areas early and such. I always found that to be neat.
More recently though, Super Metroid was one of the first randomizers and an early popular speedrunning game.
I think that’d why it’s maintained a level of popularity not easily seen from the game itself.

Fallout Tactics remains my favorite Fallout.
