I think I’d survive. Never had a broken bone or any serious injuries really. I’d just have surface-level wounds everywhere, none with a lot of blood loss, and 2 rolled ankles. It would be unpleasant as hell, but I don’t think my life would be in danger.

It is! Quite a bit better than 3 I’d say.

Depends on how you define the original I guess, but that person seems to post their videos to Peertube and Youtube simultaneously. It’s not a reupload, but posted by the creator himself.

It’s Peertube, no Google ads there.

Interesting, never heard of “Zoom Platform” before. Seems to be a GOG competitor.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 needs a CD unless you use RCT2 tools, which is a fan made software that works amazing for rollercoaster tycoon and all the expansions. Thanks to the RCT2 creators!

OpenRCT2 is an even better option here. Native Linux, adds various improvements to the game and even has multiplayer!

They’re design-focused first and foremost. You get a Nothing phone if you want fancy LED-lighting on the backside.

They used to be about having a “minimalist”, bloatware-free Android OS as well, but since last year some of their phones come preloaded with Facebook, Tiktok etc and they even put ads on the lock screen for a while (until backlash made them revert that).

This is no longer in the app, to be clear. It was removed in may 2025.

I’m not a fan of paid mods personally and would probably never buy them, but I also think these copyright claims are crappy and seem baseless to me. What he sold was his own original code. He should be free to sell it and let people decide if they want to spend money on it. That may break the ToS of these companies, but ToS are not laws.

2020s, by far. 2010s were the best, but after 2020, the world order I knew pretty much became undone and everything seems to just be getting worse. I was pretty hopeful and excited for the future before, but now we seem to be on an unrelenting march towards dystopia. Much of the societal progress we’ve made in prior decades is being reverted. Also not great when it came to personal events for me, as my dad died in 2021. I guess the decade still has a few years left to redeem itself, but that seems highly unlikely right now.

“A Hat in Time” is an excellent 3d-platformer with local (split-screen) co-op.

I’m aware that instances can block interaction from other instances, but if done correctly it would be easy to do it without raising much suspicion.

I don’t think it would be. A sudden influx of votes from users from a new instance who never posted or commented would be pretty obvious I’d say.

Can you be more specific on what reminds you of prisons with your schools? I don’t think any of my schools in Germany looked anything like a prison.

I would personally be annoyed by such a person and not want to associate with them. I have no issue with religious people, or even talking to them about religion, but if they’re just constantly preaching or trying to convert me, that would get on my nerves very quickly.

Looks like you can only participate with a Mastodon account, unless I’m missing something.

I’d say it’s a good place to live for me. It’s safe and has a high standard of living. There are many nice cities, villages and natural areas to see but it’s also a great hub for travel to other European countries, thanks to its central location. I live in a medium-sized village near the blackforest and it’s a nice, calm place with lots of nature around.

Do come visit, I’m sure you’ll have a great time! I’d say go for Munich over Berlin, as you’ll see more of the traditional German (well, Bavarian) culture while still being a large modern city.

Germany has its problems though. Our infrastructure, while still good, is starting to crumble, our industry has trouble keeping up and our politicians are ineffective. Like in many places, the far-right is on the rise and with it anti-migration rhetoric like you’ve heard from your grandpa. For what it’s worth, I haven’t had any issues with migrants. Migration comes with challenges, sure, but it’s also something that enriches us, as well as something that Germany needs, due to our otherwise aging and shrinking population.

People on the Internet like to jump to conclusions, usually the most drastic ones. There’s certainly no way for a random person to conclude whether the guy is transphobic just from what you wrote.

Nice to see them succeed, but as an “OG” VRChat user (from before they were even on Steam), I also miss the way it used to be when the userbase was way smaller. It was a really friendly, adult userbase, where you’d randomly meet some of the devs or people showing you around the worlds they created. Now it’s mostly screaming kids and almost unplayable without sticking to a specific group. Still enjoy jumping into it every once in a while though, especially when there’s a concert or other special event.

Voyager doesn’t even show them
