  I’ve added you as a mod to c/gaming. I left Hurts on as he’s one of our Top Mods and I’m not sure of his status at the moment. Good luck and thanks for volunteering!

  Of course, I think OP just saw the taglines that referenced it and wasn’t aware of the actual community posts. I’m one of the leads of the Community Team, so could, naturally, tell you more, haha. Thanks for subbing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questions regarding moderating and the LW age restriction⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in agreement with most said here. Users of other instances wouldn’t know of our TOS and rules generally. But also, our TOS is for access to “the website” i.e. lemmy.world. Users on other instances are not using this website, technically. They are accessing information originated here. It’s a complicated situation because of the nature of federation.

  Personally, I would try to manage LW users specifically when it comes to age restrictions as those are the ones who agreed to our TOS and age requirement. So basically, if a LW user is known to be under 18, take action, and if a user from another instance openly says they are under 18, then take action. Explanation is up to you.

  That definitely may have been the issue too. I was in the southern US at the time in a heavily Christian town too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People downvoting a post for a support group.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds reasonable. When I tried it they put a lot of focus on the higher power stuff, but I imagine a lot depends on what group you’re in too.

  If you’re just a social drinker I don’t think you’d benefit from AA anyway. It’s more for people who have a serious problem, not just a bad social habit

  Oh, I wasn’t just a social drinker, I mean I only drank socially, never alone, but I could never stop. I would go out every night and drink til 6am and get belligerent. I’ve been sober for a long time now so I don’t need help. I was just talking about my AA experience years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People downvoting a post for a support group.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I still couldn’t do AA because even though it’s not “religion” they still push the higher power stuff. That it’s bigger than you and stuff. I never liked that because it takes the responsibility away from the person. To me, it’s both. It can be a disease that you have trouble controlling while also, you have to take responsibility and learn to manage it. For me I just had to stop and avoid going to bars and stuff. But I was also a social drinker, never drank alone so staying away helped me a lot. Of course others may be different.

  I think your sarcasm detector broke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t stand soggy carrots. I can eat them in soup, but it’s not my favorite. I much prefer roasted or stir fried. Actually most veggies, I prefer that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buy junk food so we can give a shit for a limited time and penny pinch at the same time!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeez, people will tribalize anything. Yeah the Mavericks around here are big but all the shelves are way spaced out and at angles so it fills the room but there’s just not much there. My ex worked at one for a bit preparing food and it was just terrible. I used to Door dash and I would stop at K&G multiple times a day and sometimes get food and it was always pretty good for gas station food. That said, Maverick bought K&G not long ago so they might all be Mavericks before too long.

  Lol, we have a pho-nomenal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buy junk food so we can give a shit for a limited time and penny pinch at the same time!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep all over here and most of CO in general. I’ve seen a few in Arkansas as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buy junk food so we can give a shit for a limited time and penny pinch at the same time!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh not even close. Maverick is a little cleaner but have nowhere as much stuff and their food, while having more selection, is garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buy junk food so we can give a shit for a limited time and penny pinch at the same time!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love seeing Kum & Go on social media because no matter what the discussion always turns to the name. I live in Colorado and they are everywhere around here. But they are probably the nicest gas stations we have here.

  If you use alexandrite, there’s a dropdown on every post where you can block the community

  Thanks, I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Party Time: Baldur's Gate 3 is Out Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Air Conditioning or Assasins Creed.

  Lmao.

  Ok seems simple enough. I’m familiar with class based RPGs. I’ll probably check out some getting started videos before diving in. Thanks a lot!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Party Time: Baldur's Gate 3 is Out Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never played any BG nor DnD. I do know vaguely some basics about DnD. I got the game to play with a friend. How difficult is it going to be for me to get used to? Should I read up on anything beforehand? I play mostly single player RPGs like fallout, mass effect, and occasional turned based stuff like FF, isometric stuff.
