That was such infuriating UX.

My first thought as well. And while the mention startups explicitly

A new £30 million Games Growth Package over three years to back the next generation of start-up games studios and talent, …

the fund needs to be protected, so it can do its work.

Same tbh

Sure, how many twenties we talking though

Black and white thinking is my absolute top gripe about social media as well, and the reason most discussions just aren’t worth participating in.

Mm, yeah. This is especially true when communicating between different ideologies, but even within them it can be hard to have a nuanced conversation—like the kind where you might not understand or agree with some point that many in your group don’t appear to question.

Like when the TERF thing first started becoming a big deal, I was lucky to have actually feminist friends, trans and otherwise, to walk me through it and suggest some reading. (Not to go all into it, but at the time I was having trouble discriminating which feminist women I should listen to.)

Anyway, that’s one of those non black and white convos, which are so hard to have with anyone but actual friends, face-to-face.

Can confirm that I went to see Spaceballs in theatre last month fully expecting to cringe my way through, but in fact ended up laughing my ass off all the way.

Great advice for all ages.

Actually one thing I remember most from being young is older folks (30s to 60s) always giving me all kinds advice, and it did seem smart but also so not, like, meeting me where I was at, at that age (teens, twenties).

It’s not until like my mid-thirties that I started to rediscover some of the advice I’d heard, and see it bear fruit.

Anyway, that’s all to say that even if it seems like some kid is ignoring your sage advice, they might just have it on the back-burner until they’re ready.

I don’t think there’s an upper limit as long as you’re posting cool stuff. I’m sure a mod will tell you if you’re pushing it (highly unlikely).

I think their only hope is to go with a small, small story that only hints at the larger world. If they try to go epic then the movie universe begins and ends with this one entry.

I don’t think they can resist the trap of going for the obvious epic world-stakes kind of story though.

Yeah I’ve got to say it is a very positive sign that I don’t know either of these actors. Also helps with suspension of disbelief.

Always has been

Oooh I hadn’t even thought of that. I was treating this movie with a sense of dread, but I am excited to hear new music with the motifs of the games.

Yeah I finally made an account and there is more than enough here to satisfy my mealtime watching needs. Still not a lot of content when compared to the mainstream platforms, but that reminds me of all the fediverse offerings a few years ago.

I feel like it’s only a matter of time before there’s enough on peertubes to keep me off the mainstreams almost entirely.

The spirit is there

I’ve been maining Linux for a decade and I’m completely lost. I think I need to catch up

Sometimes the stress is the only motivation you have access to!

Maybe lay off the Root

Not a fan fat shaming that gets bundled in with that but basically. It’s the vice of greed, plain and simple.

Like imagine rolling up to a potluck and just buying the table, leaving naught but a bag of chips for the rest of the party. Even if you can afford it, it’s still a crime against your fellows.
