When I played Oblivion at launch, it crossed my mind that there is an overlooked angle of proprietary magic for those not in the ranks of Magic Guild, a closed club of a few, and an ongoing fight against those questioning their monopoly. To sustain themselves as a business, afford funny dresses and enormous headquarters, they could’ve artifically created a market of cheaply produced soul gems and spellscrolls, and I’m pretty sure there can also be stories of how they outsourced their production to poorest provinces while leveraging Empire’s influence to beat traditional local producers/guilds - a conflict we see in Morrowind with Brotherhood/Thieves vs Morag/Camonna Tong. Necromants somehow appear as a double villain to MG, because, besides necromancy and stuff, their sect also produces their own black soul gems of bigger energy capacity.
That’s fine to have a facelift for Oblivion, but I would’ve prefered if they opened up their flagship franchise to other teams so we could have Oblout: New Skingrad or whatever, with a compelling and grounded story.

I got it too late that I could’ve chosen politicalmemes or whatever instead. I’d do better next time.
- Comment on That does not spark joy 2 days ago:
Even worse, they want to be constantly reminded of the value of their surroundings to updoot their own ego. They outsource their self-esteem to material world around them, to other people’s remarks, and never feel themselves complete in solitude. Their cheapo-looking overpriced golden toilets, cruxifictions and eagles are show pieces of how they are fragile, limited and sad.

And right in the next line they predicted the deterioration of the US as a travel destination.

- Comment on Battle.net's discord permissions 1 week ago:
On one hand, it could be useful with the likes of WoW to have a better chat app with guild servers and rooms. I think many players are already there. Blizz adapts to what is still hot.
But on the other, one’s personal discord account can hold a bit more value than an addon to BattleNet, it may have it’s secrets, even in the list of servers you joined, and it probably have friends not interested in that at all. I’d probably create a new acc if I need one for that purpose.
I am surprised Discord didn’t do something to sandbox Blizzard’s integration. Like creating a user who have access to these and those servers with these permissions. Probably they didn’t thought about that, but it could’ve made integrations more safe and viable.

You’d probably like to know major quickly deflected it by saying she’s not checking everyone’s private parts. She’s not a weirdo to indulge in invented problems and waste time. Trans people are just people and “trans ideology” is the one that demonizes them 24/7 while surprising amount of people wouldn’t otherwise have any opinion about what they do and get all worked up about that.

Or half a mile if you have a couple junctions with red lights ahead, like around the block. Anon could’ve been living in a flat over said pizza joint for all we know. Or they are just a liar, who also have a crush on delivery driver, so they order pizza to see them again.

- Comment on tesseract 3 weeks ago:
I’m curious about it’s overall usage statistics, but I guess the best metric - downloads of said banlist - is in their hands. I’ve seen people saying they’ve used it at some point, but I don’t think there were a lot of people. I’d go as far as to suspect that more people saw and reacted to recent news and memes about this frontend than used it at any point in time, total. My perspective as a mostly smartphone user is screwed though.

Do you play original DS or it’s remaster? I found the OG one to have such a nice art and gameplay direction that I don’t find problems playing it today. The way they show HUD on character makes it feel more futuristic than it should.

- Comment on Deja Vu 4 weeks ago:
An admin of an instance dubvee CaptainPatric published a frontend for Lemmy - a different interface to look through - called Tesseract. Many instances provided it as an option for their users.
Something around a year ago they suffered a burnout from fediverse (idk how) and seemingly cut their presence here.
Just recently, db0 instance admin got a funny result from updating their server software. They couldn’t see their own instance’s posts through that frontend, it was reporting an error. Going around it with a magnifying glass, they learnt, that an update to Tesseract silently shipped a new filtering engine with a list by dev. It downloads said list as the frontend starts, so you (1) won’t see it on github and (2) they have all power over what you see or not. Content matched with that list by instance, author or regex keyword doesn’t show up, like it isn’t there at all.
It appears, not only spam or fash dens were there, but a lot of active instances incl. db0 and lemmy.ml (that you are on) were on the list, as well as many individuals. In a long post CP argued, that they wanted their frontend not only to spice up the interface, but also to provide a better normie-friendly look at a fediverse, to make more people stay (unlike them), without anything upsetting, or “toxic” as they say, meaning anything slightly political or verbally violent too. And as some users wondered what’s left of fediverse with that opinionated filter applied and what it says about that person’s leanings
others took being in the list as a medal of honor, and started memeing about that, and talking about dev’s shadowy practices. The overwhelming majority was not having it, excluding maybe Rimu, a Piefed dev, who soberly corrected that there was actually a misleadingly named switch to turn filtering off - and iirc they had some sort of a drama themselves recently, so it may come off natural to them.
Either way, this piece of software was forked by multiple users to exclude shadowban list. Memes roll, people are jelly they aren’t in the elite club, and we get another story about small power causing god-like delusions in a person. Unanswered though stays the question of why the fediverse, seemingly the size of town, has a capacity for drama.
I’m not sure I got everything right, but other people’s writeups appear under almost any post concerning that matter, so you can see if they cover it better than I.
