• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always get them confused.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The joke is so obvious there’s no need to comment on it so others, including myself, are using this as an opportunity to post our opinions on the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always get them confused.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that science fiction and fantasy are the same thing and the only difference is the explanation for how all the cool stuff works.

  Functionally, there’s no real difference between a portal that takes the characters to another world using a wormhole and one that does it through through magic. Just like how there’s no difference between Vulcans/Klingons/Wookies and Elves/Dwarves/Beastmen. Both are intelligent non-humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lord of the SCIENCE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be entirely wrong about this but isn’t it in universe lore that Elves don’t see the curvature of the world and that’s how they can see so far?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never store gerbils up your ass, we went over this!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

  Kind of reminds me of the left pad incident only much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s funny is the “blonde bombshell in a catsuit” turned out to be one of the best characters on the show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fallout Bible: a collection of lore documents compiled for use in the development of the original (cancelled) Fallout 3⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don’t need sex scenes and nudity in everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The incredible pixel-smashing game Noita got a huge free update⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Noita is way too hard for me. I finally managed to beat the “tutorial” and that was good enough for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Majora’s Mask is the best Zelda game. However, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game. The setting, art style, and musical score all combined perfectly to make a game that was both really fun and relaxing. No Zelda game since has ever matched the feeling of sailing to the Great Sea soundtrack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 is the last version of Windows⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference this time is that my computer literally can’t run Win 11. I’m not throwing away a perfectly good PC just because of Win 11’s hardware requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my exact experience. I read the book and looked through the map it came with. Morrowind was the game that caused me to change from FPS and Sports games to RPGs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future of American Dream 🏡⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The houses are so close together and have so little yard I don’t see why they didn’t just turn them into townhouses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon's Dogma 2 - 18 Minutes of Fighter, Thief, Warrior, and Sorcerer Gameplay⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty excited about this since Dragon’s Sogma was one of my favorite games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EGDF: Unity’s Install Fees Are a Sign of Looming Game Engine Market Failure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unity really messed up this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 11-09-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The last time I played I turned the enemies completely off but between trains and the beginning of nuclear power, I got so confused I just quit.

  I also turned the mountains off as well. I had enough problems trying to keep the conveyor belts straight without having to deal with building around elevation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 11-09-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried to get into Factorio but my research always progresses faster than I can build things inevitably leading me to get lost. Also, the factory ends up getting too messy so I quit the game.

  It’s become a game that sits in my library taunting me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why shouldn’t firearm manufacturers be held accountable for the use of their weapons in crimes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  However, I’m quite concerned about firearms being used for their primary purpose: killing people.

  That’s where you’re sort of wrong. Their advertised, primary purpose is self defense or hunting depending on the weapon both of which are legal actions. Deliberately using the weapon to commit murder outside of these intended purposes is a misuse of the weapon no different than deliberately using any other item outside of its intended purpose to commit crime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xitter Tanks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  These sorts of comics have been captioned like this for decades. I’m not sure if they were ever not captioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually noticed.

  I’m only surprised it took them that long to block it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t they just raise their prices a bit? Adding a “not” tip to the bill just seems odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Lemmy and Mastodon account and decided to see how well linking a Toot to a Lemmy community would work. It was surprisingly smooth. Mastodon even provided some autocomplete for the community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like the best way to handle the situation with similar/same communities on different instances is to allow communities to automatically federated with other communities. That way subscribing to one community will show you its posts and all the posts to its linked communities.

  It would be especially helpful for these general purpose communities like Technology or News since I would imagine most communities are going to have one.

  If that happens then we wouldn’t need to hunt down and follow every single instance of the same community. Let the mods handle it on their end to save the rest of us the effort.
