I didn’t play space exploration. Buddy of mine was playing it and I was doing K2 with the idea being we would later do a combined run. Got to hear plenty about it, was a pretty cool run

Nice choice! I just researched volcanus and have been drooling over the foundry since the teaser for it. I’ll report back once I make it there

Nice! Which one Did you end up landing on?
I just made my first space platform so stoked to see it building. It’s really cool watching the platform grow
- Comment on What's the point of a long-distance friendship? 1 week ago:
My bestie is on the other coast.
Most of our conversations are us talking about life, what we think about things, venting about work and our loved ones and being as ridiculous and unfocused as we always are.
She was also the Best Woman in my wedding.
I feel like it’s a matter of finding friends you have friend chemistry with rather than people you kinda get along with while doing a singular thing

I’m fine with this.
As long as the team gets recognition in the more formal documents then let the media have whoever they’d like.
It’s like doing set up for a show. Let the headliner be the focus but acknowledging the people who made it happen is really nice.

That’s the wrong, I want to play what they are offering, I don’t want their bullshit baked in.
Make Uno that doesn’t suck donkey dick and I’d be down.

I can understand the frustration but I don’t see that as much when I’m playing more indie games. Are you playing more quintuple a titles, if so have you considered going for more independent stuff instead? I could give some recommendations

Or they see this court success as a good thing and that a market will always need careful guidelines to prevent a company from being able to make insanely greedy decisions.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
We’ve not talking about colonizing though, we’re discussing insaive species.
Given humanity (Homo Sapiens) is currently thought to have evolved in Africa, that is the natural human habitat. All other habitats we’ve created we can be thought of as an invasive species.
Please don’t virtue signal when it’s off topic like this, it’s really annoying.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
Truthfully they were also invasive. We’re only native to Africa

I believe that if America has been more proactive, we could have either limited or delayed the infection. As I remember it, the infection spread from Asia to America and hit Europe after us on the East Coast, at least that what I remember hearing from the reports.
So yes, if we had been more proactive and developed a response much more in line with the Ebola outbreak, i believe it could have been delayed or lessened.
- Comment on language barrier 2 months ago:
My bad, I didn’t see the joke for what it was. I’m US based and I’m trying to not be stressed given we have a chance of dealing with fucking Donald Trump again. I do wish we’d do more to teach about how bad fascism truly is, but at least I get to understand given my heritage.
- Comment on language barrier 2 months ago:
While you are correct that he didn’t directly cause it, his actions allowed it to become as bad as it was. Had he been less of a piece of shit about it, it’s quite possible that it could have been limited and had a much smaller impact so I feel fine with my previous statement as is.
For context, consider how the ebola outbreak was handled under Obama. As soon as we became aware of it, we had teams going directly to the outbreak sites and dealing with the problem. There was no “shelter in place” in the states, no global pandemic. Contrast that to covid-19 which people on 4chan were posting about before oompa loompa decided to give a shit.

And that’s for a disease that is very infectious. www.paho.org/en/topics/ebola-virus-disease#:~:tex….
So I stand by my statement, Donald Trump is a piece of shit and caused the global plague.
- Comment on language barrier 2 months ago:
Yeah, no. He caused a plague first time around, dipshit doesn’t deserve a second chance.

Would be really smart if they so made it so that people are able to order actual products through the virtual store for delivery. Akin to ready player one or snow crash.
Would absolutely need some protections so a kid isn’t just buying a bunch of random stuff but that’s something to be figured out and would help Roblox transition to more than just “a game for kids”

- Comment on Will Shoppers Ever Care About the Destruction of the Planet? Tactics to convince people to buy less aren’t working. A quirky new documentary by Patagonia takes a different approach. 5 months ago:
A counter point worth considering, fossil fuels cars have been seen that way as well, but as electric cars improve and adoption increases, its starting to make a case to reduce the subsiding of the fossil fuels industry. If we also start soliciting our elected officials, it makes the case much stronger.
I’m picking that because it’s already starting to happen and we’re making that a part of the national conversation.
Food would be a slower process simply due to it being a much more ingrained part of a culture, but the same process can work.

This hits on an overall problem I have with a number of communities on Lemmy, so many of them try to attack the person instead of the culture.
One that is sticking in mind are the anti meat eaters. I fully understand and acknowledge that the rate at which we grow cows isn’t a great thing for our environment that someone trying to guilt trip me with that does nothing to my appetite when I want a burger.
A better idea is to attack the culture by helping to make more tasty no meat alternatives available and promoting the shit out of them. More choices will inevitably help to reduce the percentage (and thus the revenue) of the non preferred options selected.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 5 months ago:
This will be one of the few times that having a bible thumping bitch of a step mother will come in handy. That’s definitely a verse but the story of end of days or “The Rapture” goes suchly
The antichrist will return and work to reunite the peoples of the desert, while doing so, they will also rebuild the lost temple of israel and once complete will sit upon the throne at which point the great armies shall unite in the middle east in a furious bloodshed. The antichrist will bring peace to that fight and demand subserience from all man. At that point, the rapture will happen and then the final prophecies shall begin.
For christians, this is seen as a good thing as they will be raptured and the good humans shall live in god’s final kingdom. For any of this to happen, Israel needs to exist.
In short, dogma as fuck.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 5 months ago:
It’s been a stance the US has had since the inception of Israel after ww2. Back then, the US had significantly more christians and christians tend to view jews as important because the bible says israel is where the end of days is supposed to start. After that decline, Israel has been viewed as an important ally for military reasons.
