Your username is fitting.

Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it’s just idle agreement.

Hope you have a nice day.

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

And all they’ll have to show for it is a mediocre pile of garbage

Couldn’t agree more 😅

That title was a bit hard to read.

The studio, called ‘harebrained schemes’ revealed they’re making a new game in the horror/cyberpunk genres, called “Graft”

The comment about someone crying because after pouring their heart out into the game they weren’t able to release it for their home country is kind of a gut punch… That’s just a really sad situation

A desire for approval drives social creatures towards pro-social behaviour, which can positively influence the sucessfulness of a species

Lol, you say that like it’s a good thing for everyone on the internet to be relentless assholes to eachother. And everyone who was around at the dawn of the internet talks about how before everyone was a total shitlord, spaces on the internet often had a sense of community

I guess people hadn’t yet realized that there were no in-person consequences for saying the most vile or cruel thing they could scrounge up from some damaged corner of their brain

I assume you’re not, but you aren’t logged in are you?

Otherwise I’d say fingerprinting or identifying your machine like another commenter suggested

Yes, the cartoon plumber man who tries to rescue his girlfriend from the cartoon dino turtle monster thing is family friendly 😅

He’s a character from a game thats widely popular with children.

Interesting, I actually didn’t know that, thanks for the additional context! I still find it frustrating but understanding the issue better is always a plus

I feel like a lot of people are missing the context that this was prompted by a Mario cosplayer sending inappropriate messages to a minor 😅

Nintendo is dogshit about their IP, but like I can’t really fault them for being upset that someone used the family friendly nature of one of their properties to facilitate an inappropriate interaction with a child. If I were Nintendo I’d be pretty unhappy about that too

I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)

This sounds ruder than I mean it to, but some context on why this is news would be helpful :) I have no idea who this is

Fair honestly, I’m more or less in the same boat 😅

Wait, is worf a bad dad? I’m not super deep in the fandom…

Man that’s cool, is the old ghost in the shell game any good? I’d only heard of it but know nothing about it, and I love ghost in the shell

Not the person you’re replying to but wanted to share my 2 cents

You might consider keeping things broad given how small a platform lemmy is and how niche the subject matter is. I like the idea of them being separate but splitting community more than strictly necessary runs the risk of the community dieing without enough people having things to post. You can always acknowledge future plans to split, and make it two separate communities in the future

Ultimately you know best what kinda space you wanna make and how you wanna go about it, I just think your community idea is neat and wanna see it reach a stable number of active users :)

Hope you have a great day!

Gooootcha, I follow what the point you’re making now!

also, I appreciate you filling me in cause I wouldn’t have read the article and he context you provided is much more useful than the headline

Hope you have a good one :)

I mean, that kinda seems like why I’d want there to be housing specifically for trans women. Building housing specifically for trans folks seems like the wrong way to solve housing discrimination or housing unaffordability. I think those problems would probably be more effectively soved through other means

But building essentially shelter housing for trans folks without a safe place to go seems like a great way to create a space for them that is safe and trans inclusive should they find themselves in crisis, and unwelcome or uncomfortable using other faculties that are disproportionately serving cis women who may or may not be welcoming or understanding.

Now they just also have to implement policies that address housing unaffordability, and housing discrimination. If its like the situation in the US, kinda feels like thats never gonna happen 🙃
