non-fire- removed ant

I don’t know which instance is doing this shit (world or ml, I assume), but it’s absolutely removed. 😤

You don’t seem to allow much of anything, lately. It’s all remove this, ban that.

Your instance truly makes Lemmy feel like Reddit at its worst.

Yeah, some Catalan politicians say “els ciutadans i les ciutadanes”, much like some Spanish politicians say “los ciudadanos y las ciudadanas”. Romance languages tend to have gendered nouns (and by extension articles). 🤷‍♂️

I don’t suck as much at programming as I suck at everything else.

I’m not sure Townscaper can be called a game either, but it certainly is an excellent relaxing and enjoyable way to waste one’s time.

Yeah, but British is a thing, and everyone knows about it (the British made damn well sure, back when they were the main global bully)… American, on the other hand, doesn’t work, because it refers to the whole damn continent, not just the USA… so if we want to refer to the citizens of the US Yankee / Yank is about the only option we have; not the best, maybe, but probably the least worst.

In the US, sure.

Outside, a Yankee is a Yankee, even if they’re cosplaying a ghost while standing in front of a burning cross and waving a confederate flag. We don’t care enough to ask in which state they had the misfortune of being born. 🤷‍♂️

Yankee, or Yank.

I was a Relay user. Now I use Connect for Lemmy. 🤷‍♂️

Nah, comparing them to cosmic horrors is giving them too much importance, I think.

I’d rather compare them to, say, the diarrhea that forced that plane to turn around a while back.

No cosmic anything, just a foul horrid unending flow of liquid excrement purposelessly ruining everyone’s day, making everything shittier, and stinking the whole place up for decades to come.

I’d be fine with the world being run by a Commodore 64 running ELIZA. It’d still be orders of magnitude less harmful than the parasites we’ve got now.

Heavy objects tend to be completely OP and are used to cheese combat.

You shut up. Barrelmancy and goblin tossin’ are perfectly legitimate martial arts!

Best comparison I’ve heard (by Gopher, if I recall correctly) is Outer Worlds, but less silly, and bigger by several orders of magnitude.

They got rid of the dialogue wheel and went back to a list of options (influenced by character background / skills), so at least there’s that, I suppose.

If you’ve got windows 10 try updating to 22h2 (no, really; a consequence of Bethesda being acquired by Microsoft, I suspect), and update your GPU drivers.

That got it running on my 980ti, so it should also work with the 1070.

“Didn’t Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched?”

“No, it came out a bit more than a year earlier.”

And horse armour.

And all their attempts at turning modding into a walled garden they could control and profit from.

We do like humour. So called “memes” (that is, image macros, memes are an entirely different thing, of which image macros are merely a particularly malignant subset)… OK, I’ll grant you, maybe they’re not entirely the opposite of humour, maybe they’re just what’s left when you remove all the humour and just leave a dry mummified shell of what might have once been a very poor attempt at a bad joke… but still, if they’re poorly made (as is the case 99% of the time), they’re noise, they’re spam, and if they have any value whatsoever it’s entirely negative… and if they’re “well” made… then they’re just plain old political propaganda (but without the artistic value that good propaganda posters had), so noise, spam, and definitely of negative value to society.

I’m replying to this from Jerboa (the Android Lemmy app), while logged in as my lemmy.ml account.

Federation; it’s great (when it works). 😁

Only issue is I can’t set up my kbin.social account on Jerboa, but eh, it’s still in development, so I’ll probably be able to at some point down the line (or someone’ll make a more general Fediverse app). 🤷‍♂️
