The right wing is afraid of a totalitarian dystopia?

Lol, no they're not. They salivate at the thought of having a totalitarian dystopia where they're on top. This is just more projection shit on their part. If anything, 15 minute cities deradicalize people by putting them in proximity to more diversity, make people friendlier by making them get to know their neighbors better, and financially better off because they're not forced to buy and maintain a vehicle to live a healthy life.

But fascists can't put the boot on your neck as easily if you have more wiggle room with money or solidarity with the working class, so of course they're afraid of it.

 

I'm thinking about hosting some kind of event to help drive participation in the community.

Some ideas we could do:

  • Weekly anime rewatch
    • A classic staple in anime communities, everyone gets together and agrees on a show to watch weekly, and we have a thread discussing it. This is the most likely candidate as of now because of its simplicity and wide audience reach.
  • Beehaw Sings?
    • Probably not this one, but I always have fun with these. I doubt the community is big enough to sustain this currently.
  • Art collaboration of some kind?
    • Also probably not, but if the majority of our userbase just coincidentally happens to be artists this would be fun. Slightly more plausible than Beehaw Sings because there are many mediums of art.

If you are interested in participating in some kind of event, please comment! This is also doubling as a "are people actually interested in this" post.

If you have any ideas for more types of events we could do, please share them! I'll add the ones I could feasibly run to the list.

far right group advocates for website that caters to far right groups

not even remotely a surprise to me, beyond I guess the fact that the taliban would have said anything at all about it

prescription inserts done for my quest 2

How is that working out for you? I just use the glasses spacer on my HP Reverb G2 but I have considered in the past getting lens replacements if its a significant improvement in some way.

When Linux gaming reaches 100 percent parity with windows, I'll probably switch. Until then I can't really justify it for my home PC. Give it 5 years or so, I've heard good things about... proton, i think it was called?

It's dead for me right now. I'll miss her.

You're right. I think a lot of people who didn't grow up right at the cusp of the internet weren't actually taught any internet safety.

Rule 1: never tell anyone your ASL, especially location.

Rule 2: No personally identifying details. If you could get doxxed using this information you shouldn't be putting it online.

Rule 3: Runescape will never ask you for your password

So that's why RF5 is so janky? Don't get me wrong i'm playing it right now and deeply enjoying it, especially getting to see Doug and Margaret kicking around town again, but I have so many issues with this game lol.

The camera lags when you rotate 360 degrees around your character, sometimes the rocks that spawn on your field will be totally invisible until you save and reset, preventing you from tilling certain areas. I'm having some weird lighting issues too but that doesn't bother me really.

On the bright side, they give you a lot of farming room quite fast if you play through the dungeons, and they finally made it possible to be a lesbian! How cruel fate is that allowed me to not get married to Margaret in RF4... For the record, I ended up with Vishnal.

I just finished Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin.

Its one of the best farming games I've ever played, but it's also like... a real ass simulation game. You don't get to grow whatever you want, you will grow rice and you'll either like it or leave. Kept your paddy's water level too high? Mold. Didn't get rid of pests? Disease. Didn't keep enough water in on a hot day? Uh oh, water evaporated and now your rice is under watered. If the waters too cold it won't absorb nutrients right.

It's also 50 percent a action rpg platformer, but don't think you can get around doing the bare minimum in the farming just to play it: your stats are directly reliant on how good you rice farm. No level grinding through combat.

I really enjoyed it but I'm still not sure who the target demographic for this game was. How big is the overlap between "traditional rice farmers" and "action rpg enjoyers"? At any rate, I high key reccomend it if you think you could be interested in rice farming whatsoever, because the story is great too.

When did people forget basic internet safety? ANYTHING you put on the internet could stay there forever.

Do you have a suggestion for a replacement? I've been looking for something to write in and didn't want to buy MS office.

If your intention is to make games, I reccomend Gamemaker Studio 2. If the pricing model is something you're not willing to work around (and trust me im still kinda salty about the change so i get it) Godot seems to be the move for 2d development.

GMS2 works on its own scripting language called Gamemaker Language, or GML. I'm told its similar to JS kinda. I used to redirect people to the r/gamemaker discord, but if you're in the fediverse that might not be something you care to do. The community there rules though and is always happy to help people learn.

I think Godot is on c#? I haven't used it yet, but it's open source so if that's important to you go for it.

Personally, I use Unity3d now, but I wouldn't reccomend jumping right into that. C# can be kind of challenging (but highly rewarding once you know what you're doing. serialized variables ftw)
