  Good reminder to play Persona 5 again.

  Thank you, I’ve thrown 10€/month into the pool. Thanks for running this instance (and keeping ApocalypticArt alive, after feddit.de failed 🥰).

  Define “alright”. Fascism is on the rise here, too.

  He needs to partner up with Logitech for the controller to make it extra perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It redirects to “Rectal administration” on Wikipedia, so yeah…I’m also not clicking on that one for “further” research. :D

  Use knockd and iptables, gone are the fucking bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy

  Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”

  Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t believe how some people can have relationships with an AI.

  I’d say its mostly convenience. Discord is easier to use on mobile devices and provides voice chat.

  Thank you! :) It’s definitely a passion project for me, because I love the game so much.

  I run a forum where the first post was started 23 years ago. Although the activity has drastically gone down during recent years, people still occasionally come by. I’m very happy I kept it up, even though a lot of people switched over to a Discord server.

  Recently we had an incident where the sole admin of the Discord server was banned and the whole Discord had to be abandoned and created from scratch. People still keep using this trash! I’m not arguing with them, I’ll just keep an alternative up. One day, when Discord really enshittifies itself to a point where it becomes unuseable, people will be happy for my stubborness. I hope.

  (It’s a forum for an obscure space pirate game for the PC - I-War 2.)
