- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 3 days ago:
FF7 wasn’t the first game I ever played but it was the first one I really loved. I didn’t know there were “slow” games before that.
- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 3 days ago:
I just want a true FF7 remaster that changes nothing about the game, just updates the graphics. I don’t want action combat. I want the original slow-ass turn-based combat.

Honestly I think you’re giving them too much credit to say they’re doing it to avoid messages. It’s the same weird virtue signalling in both cases. “Not like the other girls,” etc.
It’s inventing a sexuality because you think it makes you sounds smart. Ooohh physical attraction is for losers, I’m only attracted to BRAINS. I can’t help but think these people would still shy away from an ugly genius

Huh, I’ve only ever heard women describe themselves as sapiosexual

Sorry but music has always been English-only. Music actually wasn’t even invented until the 5th century

This question is exactly why I’ve been saying this community needs better moderation

Why would Albanians be mad about the destruction of a once-protected island? Don’t they know that corrupt billionaires want a private island subsidized with their tax dollars? Why are they so selfish smh

- Comment on If Osama Bin Laden was given the option: commit terror acts against the US; or install trump as president. With full knowledge of the results of multiple trump presidencys which would he chose? 2 weeks ago:
My opinion is that this community needs some damn rules to differentiate it from asklemmy where “what do you think about X” posts make sense. We stole a bunch of subreddit’s names but apparent not what makes them unique

How the hell would anyone on this site know the answer? Hypothetical questions like this are useless

Yeah, you’ll definitely be safer if you ever, uh, work for the government file a whistleblower complaint. Another point to bikes!
Jokes aside, it’d be way easier to kill you on a bike and they could make it look like an accident. Plus it’s not like those are the only 2 options.
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Well, my understanding was that it’s not for ANY stupid question but for questions with actual answers that you feel stupid asking.
I felt stupid asking this because my understanding doesn’t jive with what I’m seeing. Which is 99% open-ended questions.
I think it does matter, though. Homogeny kills communities.
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 3 weeks ago:
That’s what I’d expect, too, but that’s not what we’ve been getting unfortunately
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the invitation I get as well. I don’t want to block this community because I liked its namesake but I’m gonna of it’s just going to be these trash posts non-stop
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not overlap, though. There are basically no posting rules here which makes it functionally identical. We took the subreddit name but not the rules that made it a good subreddit.
The best communities are the ones with guidelines. There is no such thing here so it’s just asklemmy2 which is… disappointing.

This is a straight up stupid question. Vague as hell with no real answer. Is this what this community is now?
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 3 weeks ago:
I’ve made a similar “rant” before on this in the hopes to change someone’s mind so I’ll give you the shortened version. And I don’t mean this negatively, I mean it as encouragement!:
Music can be an active or passive hobby. Most people fit the latter category and the older you go, the more it skews that way. Adults have a lot less time to experiment and if you aren’t actively seeking out new music, you can fall into the trap of “they don’t make it like they used to”
But they do! It’s out there! You’re just less likely to stumble upon it because not only do you lack the time, the people around you are in the same boat. We’ve also heard a LOT of music since our teens so fewer songs feel fresh. There’s no such thing as “derivative” if you’ve never heard the original!
I’m an active hobbyist who listens to 20+ hours of music I’ve never heard before on a weekly basis and can guarantee that music in pretty much every single genre is still around.
So I would encourage you to spend a couple hours exploring some time. Even if it’s just googling “modern bands like [old band] reddit” and seeing what the music hobbyists have to say, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 3 weeks ago:
I feel like it has way more to do with how knowledgeable you were at the time. Kids generally don’t have the most critical eye for any of those things and most people don’t go back to see what they missed.
I just said to a friend this morning, “every kid’s favorite movie is the last movie they saw”
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 3 weeks ago:
Things have changed but the music industry is very much alive. The barrier to entry dropped significantly with the advent of the internet which definitely affected the established companies but they don’t represent the industry. The artists do.
There’s more independent labels than ever and live music hasn’t changed significantly (minus the feed for “major” venues). I’d even go as far as to say the music industry is better than it’s ever been.

Well 10% is fine with me, thanks for changing my mind
- Comment on 007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans 3 weeks ago:
I’m aware but it was getting compared to Hitman, a primarily stealth game, throughout development.
And according to the other reply I got, the comparison isn’t wrong.
- Comment on 007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans 3 weeks ago:
Can you play the whole thing stealth or is there mandatory combat? Maybe what I saw was just people not being good at stealth
- Comment on 007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans 3 weeks ago:
I was pretty hyped about this but after watching some gameplay, I think I’ll pass. I thought it was going to be a lot more like Hitman but it seems more like a pure action game.
Like others have said, the the enemies are blind and deaf. Doesn’t seem like a bad game but not what I’m looking for
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
This also isn’t an opinion community. That’s asklemmy.
Or I guess maybe it is. Who knows. With no defined theme like it’s subreddit namesake, it’s just asklemmy2 at this point. Might as well make it a meme community, too
