Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.

Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you’re posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.

It’s much more “left” than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the “ml” stands for marxist-leninist.

I would want to hear ‘no’ by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

If they haven’t locked you down, you owe them nothing. Be direct.

If they were worth waiting for, they would give you a straight answer.

“I’m interested in you, but you’ve been lukewarm about this whole thing. Whenever you make up your mind, you know where to find me, but I can’t spend my life waiting for you to make a move.”

If I recall right, the only exlusive weapon was the Flamethrower, but they also added the missile Warthog. Might be forgetting some other weapons though, as I never had the Xbox version.

I had some fun when I was younger modding the demo. The only content stripped out of it were the levels, so there were all these custom versions of the Blood Gulch map floating around with Ghosts and Scorpion tanks, etc.

I liked messing with weapon properties. Had my own temu/wish.com “cursed halo at home” long before it was a real thing.

• Sniper rifle fired plasma grenades, and you could do fun stuff like stacking two so the first would throw the second into the air and the trail and explosion made it like a flare.
• Shotgun fired a spread of frag grenades instead of bullets, and pushed you backwards a bit.
• Pistol was more accurate, slightly faster, much less damage, and pushed whoever got hit back a ton. You could easily juggle someone up into the skybox with it. It pushed vehicles too.
• Rocket launcher fired a massive ball of rockets that would lag everything.
• Flamethrower fired rockets instead of flames, with a much higher ammo pool, but no other changes. So rocket sprinkler.
• Fully charged plasma pistol fired a Scorpion Tank shot. I think the non charged ones homed in to a stupid extent.
• Chaingun Warthog fired needler rounds with an increased lifetime.
• Assault rifle worked as area denial, setting an area in an orb shape around you on fire.
• The plasma cannon thing would spawn a Scorpion tank over your head, crushing you.
• I think I turned the needler into a shotgun blast thing, but it still fired needles.
• I think I changed the elites’ plasma smg thing to start firing slowly but “rev up” to stupid fast speeds, and then the cooldown hurt your shields?
• There was something that would call down a larger version of the plasma cannon projectile from the sky, with a larger explosion radius and a stupid big/strong pushback effect.
• Vehicle crashes called the same kind of system as a projectile hitting, so you were effectively “shot” with a vehicle impact “bullet” as a rider if you crashed too hard. Congrats that’s now a frag grenade explosion. That one was shamelessly stolen from a tutorial.

That’s what I remember at least.

Good old Trainwiz. Pretty sure the mad bastard used to frequent 4chan’s Elder Scrolls modding threads, so I’m kind of impressed at the restraint of his response.

Give them BBB support you coward!

The price has crept up with the paid expansions, but holy shit do NOT sleep on the Castlevania one. It doubles the base game content, and fits in great.

Better check the comments again. At least now there are multiple that explicitly are.

I swear, every time I start to think that I go overboard with this sort of shit in my scripts for work, I either find another ridiculous edge case or a story like this comes out.

Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.

Or some piracy communities on lemmy. [email protected] is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).

It sucked to have bought into the kickstarter and financed the project, and then see the product on the shelves at Target while I was still waiting on mine to be delivered.

Shit, I didn’t realize it got that bad. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t hear more rage about that online at the time.

There’s multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it’s been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It’s what I run in a VM for my work’s VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it’s not worth the trouble for me.

Nope, you use Reddit entirely at their whim. All appeals are handled by the same automated system that likely banned you in the first place, and trying to make a new account will get you banned again for ban evasion.

There are various ways to hide and get around the ban evasion checks, but if you ever slip up, or they ever catch you again, go straight to banned again with no appeal.

Your alternative is to move to other reddit alternatives like here. The more these alternatives can be built up, the less excuses there are to still rely on Reddit, until Reddit finally crumbles away.

As if recall wasn’t bad enough.

Wow, this is really neat. Definitely get the negative feelings from it. Anxiety but not full on “spiky” panic attack. More of a tired “this is too much” sort of feeling I guess.

Can I ask what you used for the groups of parallel but separated lines? That’s a great effect on it.

I mean, joke’s on them, Lemmy doesn’t have accrual of karma so there’s nothing to really “farm” using an LLM.

Looks like the dev’s Ko-Fi is the official source for the download: https://ko-fi.com/nemo622

No offense, but I’m way more interested in this Crystal styled Emerald romhack itself than whatever drama is happening around it.

Although I am sad to hear that yet another creator has been badgered out of enjoying their work. That sucks.

Guess we’re all gonna ignore all the drama about LTT from last year?

Saying he’s the one who breaks is an understatement.

That’s bitch baby mode. Just use MASgrave to fake activation/license. No need for that silly workaround every time.

I never took to 7 like I did to this one. Couldn’t really tell you why.

I miss how they ditched the more unique character karts for the generic mix and match parts now. Let me race in a backhoe again you cowards!

It’s become a wealth/status symbol for people who don’t like the more traditional bougie shit. Lets them still delude themselves into thinking they’re salt of the earth types.

I can afford for 2/3 of my vehicle to be functionally useless! Dohohohoho!
