Remember when everyone thought elon was smart

I haven’t found Lemmy confusing to use at all. And I found that to be a big surprise. I expected more hurdles to have to jump to get started like Mastodon.

The one big issue so far has been the lag, upvotes not being sent, comments/communities not loading, etc. But the reasons for that are pretty understandable in my opinion.

Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union

Thanks for all the fine work, dudes

Speaking of CRPGs, I just played Baldur’s Gate 1 for the first time, funnily enough. It was a great game which is not exactly a controversial opinion but I wasn’t expecting it to be so fucking funny also. It was very very very hard though.

I also downloaded DOS2 but it felt like I needed a breather after BG so I’ll get to it when I can commit some time to it.

Same energy

I dunno it’s pretty decent right?

That’s very funny and very very sad

I get some satisfaction from knowing he’s rattled, I suppose. But from the state of the internet in 2023, that’s a very thin silver lining on a very black cloud

I didn’t participate but this warms my loins

TV Tropes

Nah, never seen the seeds for them from a reputable seller sadly! I’ve got reapers and a couple of naga varieties in the garden though

I haven't! I'm going to get to it before I get BG3 for sure.

Remnant 2 - fun game, not as difficult as Remnant 1 imo but better for it.

Cities Skylines - no idea why I got the urge to play it. I've had a few failed attempts previously. And I still find it hard as hell to plan my shit out instead of haphazardly placing zones and industries. I'm still very early on (pre-office blocks) and my map is already a mess. I'm playing with the industry, mass transit and plazas DLCs. The industry one seems like fun but I haven't got to the other two yet. I'm looking forward to the sequel but I know I'm going to suck at that too

They got a new album!

All time classic. It’s wild how it never got a remake or a reboot over time. Humanity on PS5 is probably the closest I’ve seen to Lemmings over the years!

So I’d imagine the medium term goal is to cut the land bridge to Crimea?

Is moving to another server possible? And would I retain stuff like my account, post history, subscriptions, etc

Try a bit of grated cheese on top and give it a minute under the grill. It’s good stuff

Yeah what an unbelievable game. The music really hit the feels button for some reason. I still need to play the DLC!

Baking bread is awesome. Making incremental progress from loaf to loaf in both taste and aesthetics is awesome and if you haven’t tried it you definitely should.

I thought about getting one but opted not to. I’ve got south facing windows so all my plants through spring are able to get all the sun they need!

Shamefully I never actually played it. Has it held up well? I’m almost certainly going to play BG3 if the community reaction is positive.

I was one of the five people who owned the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 🫡

I started playing roguelikes with flash Binding of Isaac I bought for 99p in a steam sale, pre-Wrath of the Lamb. I'm still playing Rebirth and its expansions well over a decade later. I'd describe it as the perfect game. Why it shines as opposed where other great roguelites don't is because of how the items interact with each other. The interaction is key. It's still pure joy to walk into a room and absolutely melt everything in a second because of a synergy you've never seen. And now I think about it, what really makes the roguelike genre a favourite of mine is where every run is a challenge from the game: break me. I'd point at Noita as another game with this philosophy. Being given a random selection of tools and trying to cobble them together into something unstoppable.

Shadowbringers and Endwalker were so fucking good. This is an instant preorder and I'm going to book time off just to enjoy it.

I’ll probably wait for the PS5 release to play it. I’m assuming there’s going to be one. I had zero faith PoE1 would work on console but it was a very cool time.

Remnant 2

I enjoyed the first but didn't complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it's fun as hell.

For what purpose?

Good shit admins. Tankies gonna tankie, but I'm glad they aren't going to tankie here.
