Until it’s later than 10 pm and earlier than 7 am anywhere in the mainland US, the answer is the US. Germany, otherwise. But particularly the US while using two southern Americanisms.

Just classic spam

“wow, such a pretty ____. where can I buy it?”

“Here’s a link to my store”

I hear the country is flooded with fentanyl, so might as well get it while the getting is good.

Objectively, certain services could never have been created without advertising, and I recognize that. But I’m not going to stan for them or accept an antiquated system just because it was the starting point. Funny that it took a communist Linux forum for me to recognize the viability of passion projects.

What’s distressing is the way they’ve been accepted. Ads are baked into many experiences, particularly online. Is this post an ad? Is the recommendation thread? The quiet suggestion that there has to be a solution to some problem? It’s impossible to say.

Hailcorporate used to be active, but now it’s a ghost town where specters whisper to one another, depressed and sardonic. That’s why I love lemmy. Aside from the sticker and knitting scammers, we’re nearly clear of ads. If you’re a human reading this, I very probably appreciate you!

I was worried we started our own oldschoolcool, the “wank to my ancestors” community, for a second, but they do look nearly identical. Lot of dominant genes in her mom.

Which is understandable, if you’ve never been one of the first people on a social media platform. They have no clue how utterly surface-level their issues are.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but, were they to get the level of engagement they wanted, wouldn’t most broadly federated small instances close due to increased hosting costs? I don’t think we’re physically able to support the number of people required to create broad niche community discussion.

I blame Japanese monetary racism. They’ll take one yen over a hundred dollars, always. Konami had a printing press ready, and instead poured gasoline on it. Who knows what things would look like, had Konami licensed the fox engine out like the unreal engine.

Discontinued like 10 years ago after only like 9 games, mostly soccer

I recall there being a period before a mod toolkit where sanic, bonesaw dragons, and alternative mudcrabs were all that was on tap. Like 4, 5 months of “bonesaw is ready” feels right.

What’s wrong with UE? It’s relatively stable, albeit with major processing inefficiencies. It’s no fox engine, but it’s undeniably acceptable compared to Bethesda’s 20 year old treehouse made of tape and glue. Is there some spyware bundled in, or something?

Made in unreal engine so fewer bugs, in the very least.

Edit: I was wrong. Infinite leveling, duplication, and teleportation are still on the menu.

a weird positive tone
Oh

Oh no

Bulleted lists
Well, I’m often 3 for 4 on the AI checklist

I don’t use LLMs, what am I looking for? Bulleted lists?

I wish I had more than that. People I’ve volunteered with haven’t recognized me, but simply continuing whichever project we’re working on has been enough to continue existing in that space. In the end, you have the option of shining a spotlight on yourself or allowing it to meander unfocused around the stage. They likely have other things to do, given the panic I’m hearing about from everyone I know, so there’s no rush whatsoever in making your presence known.

I don’t go to this school, but my appearance and name have changed considerably so my experience might be relevant. Mods, delete pls if I’m not helpful!

Whenever it happens to me, I’m objective about it. Do I want to know more about this person or vice versa? Which option makes my life more pleasant? Would there be fallout one way or the other? Choosing who to offer information to has made my life far easier.

If someone I never liked comes up to me and doesn’t remember me, I’m elated. They often enjoy my company because I’m smiling so hard at their future absence from my life.

Wait, wouldn’t the multiplayer essentially be unreal tournament, but with less diversity? Never played doom’s online, so I have no clue.

Cool has several advantages. Short, hard consonant into soft, universally understood concept. Daisy, particularly post-industrial revolution, simply requires more context and time to interject.
