  Kind of an indirect answer, but I’ve heard people state that they vote the way they do because they believe that there needs to be a balance between “good and bad”. Obviously, this is complete bullshit. Even if there should be a “balance”, we already have enough problems as is, we don’t need the government making it worse.

  Just looked into it, according to this post account scores were removed from Lemmy. I’ll have to edit my comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They must have changed it because Boost was the only app I ever used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does, it’s just disabled by default. Some third party clients, like Boost for Lemmy, have it enabled (or at least it did, it’s been a while since I’ve used it).

  There, I fixed it. It took me a while to understand what the problem was but I figured it out.

  The Reddit community is part of the reason I stopped playing RuneScape a few years ago. The in-game community was fine for the most part, as players would mostly keep to themselves or just talk with their own groups. But the subreddit would get super offended/aggressive towards each other for the stupidest things and the mods always seemed to make things worse.

  I’ve always been of the believe that all online games with subscription services should always be $60 a year at most. If you do the math, $60 a year per player is way more than what single-player games make and maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work either.

  And yes, I’m aware of the whole thing with the bonds and how they technically allow you to play the game for free but, at least compared to the old prices, they aren’t as efficient as just buying a member and Jagex makes more money off of them. So, I still think that Jagex shouldn’t change the membership prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good game soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven’t been mentioned yet, there:

  The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two “Touhouvania” games.

  Most of the Castlevania games.

  Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.

  And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One that I’m aware of is “tskr” in Japanese. It’s a slang term that derives from たすかる (tasukaru). The meaning depends on the context and it can mean something like either “you saved me” or “thanks for helping me”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't use ladybird browser lol⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I just read the article and I was right and I’ll be editing my comment to reflect that.

  Also, I did just re look at the tweets, they weren’t calling for the mass genocide of gay people, they were calling for the mass genocide of jewish people. The problem was that the tweet was linked with another tweet where they used the F-slur, so I forgot they said “jews” and not the F-slur. I’m going to have fix that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just out of curiosity, have you even seen any of the tweets that I’m referring too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have time to read the article, is this another one of those articles that defends Sweet Baby Inc without acknowledging any of the reasons why they are getting backlash? Like all of the tweets from SBI employees that either use racist/anti-LGBT slurs and advocating for the mass genocide of gay people or the fact that this whole thing started because SBI started a harassment campaign towards the creator of a steam group despite not having any information that actually proved that the group was in the wrong and also ignoring the fact that the group was created by someone from Brazil and claiming that the group was created by right-winged conspiracy theorists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What multiplayer games having singleplayer/offline mods?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s technically not a mod but most older versions of RuneScape can be played “offline” by creating a personal private server. Everything from RSC to HDScape can have private servers but I don’t think I’ve seen private servers for RS3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ring The Bells - Eurobeat Union

  For some reason the only real version I could find on YouTube is the first song in Zenki’s [www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqtj-mn87A](Christmas Touhou Eurobeat Mix) and it’s kind of ironic because it’s the only song in that mix that is actually Christmas related.
