Can we change lemmy names? I wanna swap to “Butthole Falcon” for a bit.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 week ago:
Why are publishers speaking for devs about how much choice devs would have? Why not get devs to speak?
- Comment on Does the "White Power Ranger" seem like an odd title? 1 week ago:
The internet proves again, that you will always be able to find someone who shares your (degenerate) opinion.
If Rita wanted this monster to grow, all she had to do was back that dumpy up.

That doesn’t answer anyone’s question.

What about being sexual abused by a older family member makes it a better punchline?

Everyone still on Twitter
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 weeks ago:
Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people’s reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don’t see that fear in legislators.
They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world’s gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends “oh, I obviously didn’t mean that.” If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there’d be more reporting on what they’ve done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.

Idk how the people that didn’t vote for this regime deserve to have this happen to them.

This has to be a joke…right?

Well, yeah, she’s supposed to be an absolute smokeshow so people know he’s won (and are jealous of him) for marrying her. But she shouldn’t “show” anything because that’s for him only.
Be a sex icon, but chastely.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t downvote but I think the “something more is going on with him” has a nefarious tone and seems unwarranted for something as innocuous as not wanting to share a bed with a new partner inside her parents’ home.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This is nostupidquestions, so I would expect somewhat serious answers. This does not seem like a serious answer.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, yeah, sure. But if perfection is two steps to the left and you refuse…why?
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 3 weeks ago:
You want to have a non-final product write the training for the next level of bot? Sure, makes sense if you’re stupid. Why did all these companies waste time stealing when they could just have one bot make data for the next bot to train on? Infinite data!
- Comment on Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking. 3 weeks ago:
No, “coding” to “cooking” is accurate because an unfortunate minority of people make code that makes the “microwave meal” look appetizing. Vibe coding can look like code and not work, while I’ve seen code that neither looks nor, in fact, is “edible”.

…the chicken is literally raw.
I get the “respect partners as people” angle but you have to at least look at the image.
- Comment on 2025 be vibin' 4 weeks ago:
With climate change on the horizon, people with real, applicable skills will come around again. Because we’re all eating roach stew and 49’ing, like nasty boys in Fallout.

Why would you do this to me

That is silly. There are absolutely brilliant people in among humanity, like gold dust sprinkled amidst sand.

“Ouch.”
- Comment on What grass starvation does to the perma-online 5 weeks ago:
Yes, thank you. For some reason, I’m always surprised when trying to be evocative backfires into misunderstanding.
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 5 weeks ago:
This one is REAL rough, not much interesting I’ve seen

Surely, you heard of “tabloids”?
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s not trendy but I don’t think we can do trendy unless we do like I said and derive from standout games with identifiable suites of mechanics. You just have to be descriptive or accept heavy overlap.
“Auto shooter” is not very descriptive. In 10 years, someone would be having this same conversation about that term. Asteroids is basically an auto shooter because there’s no reason to not always be shooting, it’s effectively a QOL change. Some bullet hells too.
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Video game genres are one of the few fields in which I’m not a prescriptivist. But survivorlikes only aren’t called RPGs because Vampire Survivor is embossed on the whole subgenre. The suite of mechanics rose to high prominence on the back of one game (or franchise, in the case of Soulslikes) rather than refined through years of experimentation.
We aren’t going to get more, simple names unless they’re similarly derived from a single, famous ancestor like your “Soulslike”. But you can always just be descriptive. Diablo/PoE are “top-down gear-grind RPGs”; it’s jargony but all subgenres are.
