  It was pretty hostile but there was a lot of democratic process and the key thing was the ratcheting up over a good 10 years before they really went for power. They would take small pieces of power and grow their control incrementally until they had too much momentum for any other group to deal with them. Also some groups thought they could use them to their advantage and reign them in when things were sorted. They were getting the highest votes but it was a mixture of a lot of things and they pretty quickly stopped being democratic votes after the first few elections. Lots of propaganda, a large amount of coercion at least initially, some blindness and unforeseen consequences but a decent portion of the population supported the whole thing. At least that’s my understanding.

  Yeah I thought the literal definition of a meme is an idea that gets shared

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah hunt is great, love the atmosphere, the tools, the learning curve and the stupid interactions. Hunt loss is pretty minor though, takes maybe a few alright rounds to get the fun perks and then you can just buy whatever gear.

  I’m pretty sure there’s nothing you can buy that has any effect on gameplay so idk where you got P2W from.

  Beak things

  There are a lot of ways to shoot for the moon that don’t end with anything close to an orbit. Though it’s pretty hard to get out of orbiting the sun from here…

  Relative is the only fast that matters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlueSky has drama so the Fedi-Marketers are waking from their slumber⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does just kinda work

  Yeah but most 11 year olds aren’t anywhere near 6’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4's latest update aims to deliver more performance fixes, ends up causing more stuttering for some⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  UE5 can do some very neat things but it’s overkill for most games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh with FFXIV you only have to buy the 2? Most recent expacs and you can play free up to 70/100 and the accompanying story stuff without. It doesn’t do the limited time free trial anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, you can play league entirely unranked though the matchmaking will still try to put you in similar skill matches. So you will get an ELO/MMR but that’s not a rank anyone sees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨arriving⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not with that attitude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My complaint about borderlands 3 was the cringe main antagonists. Like I’m happily shooting stuff and they hop in with painfully mediocre snippets of whatever they’re supposed to be doing. Also they killed off one of the best characters. The gunplay felt nice, the music and graphics were good. I didn’t have any real technical issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time I make biscuits from a can⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here in the UK you can get some home-bake pastry tubes that look identical to that and you also twist open them. Things like a roll of proto-pan au chocolat or the big raw cinnamon roll. You just slice them up and cook

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wellp, I have started playing the first silksong again finally after getting stuck in the mantis boss thing. Also I bought this one…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨winter fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah anything above about 24 and I’m dying. Meanwhile winter is nice and cold so I can just wear more if it’s a problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd also add that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ketchup and mustard is kinda nice, sweet chilli is another fun one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Rex Burger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s not t-rex meat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anons brother has some strong opinions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I actually kinda like brutalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A machine made in the likeness of a human mind to quote a popular thing. Basically something that can think and reason in the same ways that we can and self improve.

  It’s sad that their date didn’t seem to work out, I imagine trump will be taking things out on everyone again shortly.

  Better we get frustrated than kill people. If councils make money off of you being a brainlet then that’s a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The express purpose is to affect the temperature within the state borders (inside a building, which is still in the borders).

  I got a full spectrum converted nex6 in April so I’ve been looking around at filters

  I need to get a UV filter for my camera…

  The first step is dying I think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh, chill⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I was taught that undertaking is technically not illegal but it’s bad practice, hogging the overtake lanes when there’s nobody on your left is the actual offence. (UK before anyone driving on the incorrect side says anything). But yeah there’s still a reasonable speed to keep at on main roads in most conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve seen of the oblivion remaster, the new lighting is actually a huge improvement and the main thing carrying the graphics.
