  you know I generally do not like pvp but I would not mind something like shadowbane resurfacing. With the city building and minimal rewarding of pvp it was not bad despite the fact that once you left the gates of one of the three safe npc cities you had snipers galore. Yeah most player cities were dicks but there was a few guilds that actually tried to make something for people to visit (of course then they got player griefers coming in to)

  sorta surprises me it was higher under him. One thing that annoys me with the local news broadcast is the various social media lists in the info graphic part at the bottom of the screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  this is what im always trying to get people to understand. bitcoin is programmed to take more resources to artificially increase in value. its why its so horrible for the environment and why it could never really be used as a currency. Now other coins fix this issue but bitcoin tends to be popular because its fixed. Some even do useful work like gridcoin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  sure. most of that goes back to the baby thing. most animals have some of the features babys have and the animal babys tend to be this way and evoke more feeling as well.

  we have been breeding them for traits we like.

  I don't even get it. there is a clique at work. so? what does that even mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  we don't collect enough taxes as is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do some communities get like 50 members minutes after its creation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not 100% on this but if it is in a piefed topic then I think anyone subscribed to the topic should be subscribed to the community.

  High five every morning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are popes always really old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not sure if its exactly a requirement but priests have to have a degree and usually an advanced degree. Granted many get it in divinity but they also have to do seminary which can't start until age 25 and it is at least 5 years. So priests basically start out at age 30 and technically a pope could make one a cardinal right away in practice the average age of a cardinal is like 70. Popes can be drawn from anyone but are usually biships. Bishop are required to have a doctorate in divinity and be over age 35. They are also expected to be known for all sorts of good qualities. So figure to be known enough you can add 10 years being a biship. So for all practical purposes its very doubtful someone would be name pope before age 50 and they have usually been 60's or 70's.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don't think everyone is not an addict because of lack of opportunity. If anything I would say many addicts arise from an attempt to escape a reality that does not meet their needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why we really need a system where people can spend their whole paycheck and still be fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diablo vs. Darkest Dungeon: RPG devs on balancing punishment and power⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True but I often felt the push pull of the two groups. Especially in mmo's. PVPers tended to be the challenge minded while PVEers tended more toward the role players. I often would chat about how I was just there to play with dolls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my thought. Im sure there were tank tops in the mix. Sorta depended on the weather and time of class and size of class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said it works better in a more general way. I find its better to block things you are uninterested in completely and then browse all. Especially since I find the same communities will pop up again and again under various instances. I sometimes think folks make meme communities just for themselves to make memes. I would love a term blocker where I could dictate to block any community where X appears in the community name or description but like I don't want to block X if it appears in a comment. I think there is some issue with what people are used to from like reddit. Like people are self limiting themselves because they don't want to be going on about one specific game in games and want to instead make a community about just the particular game. Thing is stuff like that has to just be talked about in something like games until it becomes to much. if it is to much its ready for its own community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure about the trend but I know my absolute bottom tier skillz are language related. in school low grades in spelling, then grammar, then foreign language. At the end of college I swapped transcripts with a friend and his comment was something like. Wow you get pretty good grades, oh. except in spanish. Basically the only reason I stopped getting bad grades in something like spelling is that it stopped being a class.

  for now hoping to find something I can run in quemu. would be nice to boot it up on the side on demand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your future AI Assistant still needs to earn your trust.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this is what I was looking to say. I sorta am hoping for a resurgence of ai assitance in linux that is like the audio gui and completely local with even ai assist installation the way gui installation became the norm. I would love to talk to my laptop the way folks in star trek talked to the computer but not if it relies on internet services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pressuring Migrants to ‘Self-Deport,’ White House Moves to Cancel Social Security Numbers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  so stupid. those numbers were for paying taxes. we used to not give them out but they wanted the tax income because despite best efforts it was still happening. Many of these are likely numbers for legal migrants to. Here specifically to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Britain feel so poor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From my youth im used to some credits at the start. The big stars and such, but then the comprehensive list after. I have never known the comprehensive list to occur before the movie.

  Thats just the two parts of enshitification. take away things you like and push things you don't. I still can't believe how bank sites can be so limited in what you can do but hey heres a useless feature we give so all good.
