Dude's just handing a lady some spaghetti, y'all. Does he really need to be "on" for that?

I mean, for one, that’s the only metric you chose to measure games by, so I’m not sure what else you would expect. Should we reply as if you used an entirely unmentioned metric?

Second, I specifically mentioned “many”, not you in particular. That’s not strawmaning, that’s talking about a general trend.

Why use an edited version? It completely ruins the joke.

Fwiw, everything they posted was from the details left under the video by the creator.

Isn't this why a lot of companies have essentially mandatory vacation for their accountants? Gives a baked in reason to have another set of eyes on the practices of the department.

They would still control it more than they did in Netflix, so it's still upside in their eyes.

Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors "engagement" driven algorithms seen on other sites. It's predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of "rage-bait" content that's pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.

Could be worth looking into Misophonia. Basically it's an irrational anger response to specific noises that vary person to person. I don't know enough about it to say how it can be dealt with, but it may be something you could find a specialist for.

I pitty the poor, volunteer admins facing clueless users dealing with downtime. "You said it'd only be an hour! WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?"

Boy, I sure hope Freddy is careful. Sounds like they're in danger /s

But more seriously, Lemmy is developed by like, 5 people, most of whom are wholely anti-capitalist. I'd be quite surprised if any of the official devs jumped ship.

This is from the Categories portion of the Steam home page. Flabergasted me and I had to snip it.

Do I just completely misunderstand what a Rogue-Like is?

Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.

I feel like "mansplaining" has lost all meaning. It used to be about men going out of their way to correct someone that didn't need correcting, particularly if they were wrong themselves, and most often with women. Now people use it on men just...saying things to anyone.

I get that people are touchy on the subject, and I respect anyone's right to not want or need help. I think how Mr. Solomon handled it was correct - ask if they want your input and respect their answer. It'd just be nice if people didn't use cultural memes to dismiss others out of hand.
