- Comment on ARC Raiders purposefully puts jerks in the same lobby as each other 3 days ago:
Solo or in a squad? Playing solo I have probably been shot at maybe 20 times in 70 hours of play and have never experienced an extraction camper.
When in a squad that is very different as pretty much everyone we have met has shot at us straight away but we have still met with very few extraction campers.
Obviously everyone has different experiences in games, that is inevitable, but playing solo for me has been mostly chill as fuck. Especially coming from fucking Tarkov.
- Comment on The Making of Guild Wars: Celebrating 25 Years of ArenaNet 1 week ago:
Absolutely, I do agree in both respects, just for me personally I wanted more of the same from the second game where as it turned out to be a very different game.
I don’t think it is a bad game or anything, it just isn’t what I wanted at the time and since then I have just never been able to get into it. Which is a shame.
- Comment on The Making of Guild Wars: Celebrating 25 Years of ArenaNet 1 week ago:
Thanks for posting, this was interesting to watch. I have been back to visit Guild Wars 1 in this last week and it was so good to revisit some old places from my memories as well as trying to explain to my non gaming girlfriend how some of my characters are 20 years old now.
No game will ever be what Guild Wars is to me and although I know in this community it may be an unpopular opinion Guild Wars 2 was one of the most disappointing games releases for me after the first game. Ultimately though I appreciate the ethos and the passion all these people have for the games and the world they created and that they have kept the first game running consistently still without charging any additional money is a credit to them and their vision for the community and the game and world as a whole.
Much respect to arena net, they are a gem in this world of shitty, vapid games companies we live in now!

You and me both and the very tiny amount of phones available right now with keyboards are just not that great. Blackberry still made the best phones ever IMO, the KeyTwo was fucking awesome.
- Comment on Request to mod !drugs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago:
Well either way, good luck, once you have a community going I’ll be subscribed and contribute where I can. The more safe spaces with good reliable information that promote harm reduction, the better in my opinion.
- Comment on Request to mod !drugs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t like the community is active, make a drugs community on a different instance and build it up from there. Too many communities reside on .world as it is and any efforts to make the fediverse less centralised only benefit us as a whole IMO.
On top of that a subject like drugs is more likely to be removed or censored by .world Adkins in the future in the same way that they did with piracy in the past.
There are regular fedigrow posts I see on /all so get yourself on a better more sane instance and grow a community there, posting on the fedigrow posts to gain some visibility. I will happily join in, I believe there are also drugs communities on .ml you might wanna check out :)
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 5 weeks ago:
I don’t blame them for feeling that way. If I see anyone using that shitty flag on their house, their shirt, their car, anywhere, I automatically presume they are a close minded racist cunt.
- Comment on the future is now 5 weeks ago:
Fair enough but when it is just reposting others posts so that everything is doubled up on all is it really adding anything of value.
I get that they are reposting pretty much everything they see on .ml presumably for people who have that instance blocked but I question how beneficial that really is.
Either way I agree with your original anti AI sentiment :)

“A person in Britain of a type stereotypically known for engaging in aggressively loutish behavior especially when in groups and for wearing flashy jewelry and athletic casual clothing (such as tracksuits and baseball caps)”
That is a more accurate description, class isn’t really anything to do with it, it is more about the behaviour, attitude and style.

- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
To be fair I never played the older games so I was more specifically referring to the new ones. At this point as well I think the older ones are too old to go back and try out for me having never played them and I doubt I’d get on with them without the nostalgia element.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
Elder Scrolls games but specifically Skyrim.
I have tried it multiple times but I just don’t understand how so many people can put so many hours into a game when an element you are going to be engaging in for a lot of your play through is one of the worst in the genre, the combat. It is floaty, imprecise and has zero feeling of impact. It is just horrible. I felt the same about Oblivion but Skyrim seems to be held in even higher regard.

I’ve been playing Noita, it is difficult but great fun so far. I don’t think I’ve really even scratched the surface of what there is either.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 months ago:
Oh yeh, we used the internet too at that age but like you say on a 56k dial up connection you’d literally be waiting for an image to load, line after line, so magazines were preferable. ADSL ushered in the age of more easily accessed videos for us, we are probably a similar age xD
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 months ago:
Well one thing is for sure, it impacted them in that they were less likely to get in trouble with the filth.
As a millennial my friends and I all had large collections of porn magazines and VHS tapes by the time we were 13 / 14 but they all had to be gained through theft or finding shit in the woods.
I haven’t seen a porn mag in the woods for like 20 years or more where as it used to be a regular occurrence in my youth!
- Comment on Multiple accounts 2 months ago:
Bear in mind you have made this post on just one instance, Lemmy.world, if they aren’t keen on you doing this for whatever reason there are many more instances around that could be more accommodating.
If you have people that are technically literate you could even spin up your own instance just for your community to register their accounts to. They would still be able to interact with the wider fediverse in the same manner if they wanted to post outside of your roleplays too!

You could be talking about either company here. I’m no fan of AI but you know this will set precedent for scummy companies like Warner Brothers to over reach into other things for “copyright reasons”.

90% of other cyclists I see on the road cycle with no lights and wearing dark colours with nothing reflective. It is dangerous enough as it is sharing the road with idiots in cars I can never understand why people make it even more dangerous for themselves willingly.

- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 4 months ago:
Apologies, reading that back it comes off more aggressive than I had intended.
I have no idea where “over here” is but it just winds me up that people litter at all in the first place, I hope that where ever you are can move forward to ban this disposable shit too.
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 4 months ago:
These things that were banned earlier on this year?
Also if you’d bothered reading “Their research found that the number plastic bags littered on beaches reduced by 80% between 2015 and 2024, after a charge on carrier bags was introduced.” Which means that the ban should ultimately lead to a massive reduction in this kind of waste but a couple of months isn’t enough time to see the knock on from the ban.
Also in the article but plastic waste from fishing was a higher percentage than these vapes but obviously that doesn’t make for such a “clickable” title. Maybe they should tax fishing supplies more heavily to follow your “logic”
Maybe the problem that needs to be addressed here is the fact that people are filthy fucking cunts and littering in general should be addressed rather than taxing specific items as a knee jerk reaction.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 4 months ago:
But the question wasn’t give a fair assessment of a sequel to a game you like.
I realise that it isn’t objectively a bad game or anything like that and a lot of people still play it until this day and I for sure appreciate them keeping the servers up for the old game so I can still go back to play it should I choose. But the question was what sequel to a game I loved ruined it for me and anyone who played both can see they are blatantly not the same game at all.
GW2 was a complete departure from how the first game worked to a more generic MMO style, I’m sure it is a great game in its own right but for me personally, when compared to the amazing first game, it just doesnt hold a candle.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 4 months ago:
I didn’t, I remember falling asleep playing it not long after release which didn’t bode well, I wanted to like it but couldn’t. I “enjoyed” it for a while many years later as a co-op experience on a console (I forget which one) whilst getting stoned but it was more scratching an itch for that genre and playing with friends locally that really won it over in that instance rather than the game itself.
Likewise with 4, I didn’t even give it the time of day tbh, I still haven’t really seen much about it.
I’d have liked to play the remaster but I refuse to give those assholes any money and the main draw for me was multiplayer as a kid. I played the SP briefly on a pirate version but it was always about the MP for me.
