  Agreed, as much fun as I’ve had playing the game itself, there’s a lot of fun and magic talking with my kids about it and sharing theories and stuff, watching videos about theories and discoveries, anticipating what will happen next, all that. Then again I’m older, so the wait doesn’t feel as long as I’m sure it does to younger folks

  I’m just glad to see that phrase used again

  Could well be more to it beyond my guesses. I’m pretty mystified by how controversial the whole thing is honestly, and how often I see it coming up in various areas of Lemmy

  I’m not someone who has such strong feelings about it, but it’s a pretty fascinating thing to see. Some people clearly get annoyed that the thorn is used incorrectly, others apparently just don’t like seeing it at all, probably because it makes writing more difficult to parse by having an unfamiliar symbol. That’s understandable, but it’s kind of wild how deeply it seems to bother some people. For example, we’re getting downvoted just for talking about it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, but be careful. People around here have really strong opinions about thorn usage

  I came here to say I’m still mad they make me hesitate to write in Futhark. One more reason to give them the Indiana Jones treatment

  Mustering the will to get out of bed in the morning doesn’t in itself immediately achieve the things I need to do that day, but it’s a first step in the process of getting there. Awareness and convincing people problems are real issues is a step toward potential solutions, even though on their own they don’t immediately solve the problem.

  Glad you’re not seeing them often!

  Sound advice, now if only people would stop making posts like this bringing it back up so the people blocking it wouldn’t have to keep dealing with it.

  To be clear I don’t mind Sxan and their thorn usage, haven’t blocked them, but I can sympathize with people who just don’t want to see something but can’t escape it with everyone else constantly bringing it back up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is one of the weirdest things I’ve seen to cause such a significant level of annoyance among so many people

  You could get some old school couch co-op fun with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. My friends and I spent so many hours on that game. So much chaotic fun.

  I regret nothing and I do not consider this to be dishonorable.

  After what she did to those poor pilgrims, she deserves no honor. It was a that point that I went from “okay so the citadel bugs are obviously the bad guys (duh)” to “I am personally going to take immense satisfaction in bringing these guys down with as much savage justice as possible”

  Sister Splinter fight frustrated me while with Last Judge (and pretty much every other boss so far) I looked forward to just getting the pattern right and finally beating them. I don’t know why that is, though. I just recall getting really annoyed with it. Might have been the slow elevator and annoying bounce flowers (I think?) in the runback more than the fight itself. I got the blasted steps runback down pretty quick to the point I actually kind of enjoyed feeling cool zipping through it

  There are things in Silksong that don’t do double damage?

  This is why I get a lot of comfort stargazing at night. So much stress or worry melts away when the realization hits that nothing really matters anyway. I don’t think this is quite what Tolkien was going for with the scene where Sam sees a star up through a small opening in the gloomy sky when he’s struggling, but it’s how I took it.

  I think the tricky part for some people is trying to figure out why living life should matter at all, then, but it’s always worked for me. Just because a moment ends doesn’t mean that the moment shouldn’t matter to you, if you find it fulfilling or meaningful.

  The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out
