Just a few. It’s not a war crime if you’re not at war…
- Comment on 3,700 hrs in Rimworld - my current colony 5 days ago:
Single player, not competitive and easygoing. Easy to pause when life demands and easy to pick up again when I get back to playing. Love they every time is different. Make your own goals and try to achieve them.

I enjoy the Fairhaven episodes, but not the ones where Janeway has a romantic interest there.
- Comment on The Extreme Disconnect between Game Journalists, Developers, and their Audience 2 months ago:
Would require frontend work and maybe some glue for the backend. I think the Photon Front end does some of those embeds. I’m sure there’s others, but not confident that any would work with Beehaw’s older Lemmy version. Better to spend energy on the sublinks convert, or my home-grown alternative Fediverse stack.

Things that involve your human safety, should always fail open. What a travesty.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac 7 months ago:
I find a lot of good content on Reddit, but its different now as opposed to the early days. The good content used to be on Reddit. Now its not, its on one of 6 other sites, and Reddit is just the ad service they’re posting on. I am sick of the in joke comments and inane comments like “this”. I want discussion.
Reddit no longer has that.

He has no idea what that word means. The word he is looking for rhymes with needy.

Of course they did. There was money to be made. Who cares if its pennies, they got their pennies.

Good analysis, I agree and understand.

Go-dAmn Sachs is wrong often, but in this I think they’re on point. Learned from the Crypto insanity.

Ouch… I am happy you were able to share such a defining moment of happiness with your kiddo.
this game. One of his most recent meltdowns
I try to help my kids understand it’s a game for fun. If you’re no longer having fun, you stop playing.
- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 11 months ago:
When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn’t get any money I don’t see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn’t make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches.
Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either.
- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 11 months ago:
at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.
And the artists still won’t. So given in either case, the artist don’t make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Beehaw isn’t the only instance of Lemmy, nor the only instance in the Fediverse. Sure, the feature being added to Lemmy now, won’t benefit Beehaw. But it would still benefit others. Refusing to work on the features that Beehaw wants out of spite, will definitely hurt other instances too.
Not my circus, not my monkeys

That query by itself in a vacuum is fine. Combined with many other triggers on the DB, and then federating that out before actually deleting from the local DB… well that is what creates all sorts of headaches.
