Sounds cool. I’ll definitely be watching it.

It’s playing a tabletop RPG on your PC… of course it will be turn based. if you haven’t played live DnD before, you should give it a try!

100% I do not want anything to do with .ml

You’re 100% right. There is no way this action doesn’t cause harm.

That said, what should they do?

Sometimes I would sit in a noodle bar and just watch NPC’s come and go. It really does feel like this game got so close to a living, breathing world, but there just wasn’t enough hours put into the small details of certain areas.

They’re going to get sued into oblivion, so that’s one alternative path forward.

They could have bought the game out and lumped it into their existing games. Alternate dimension Pokémon anyone?

I could not for the life of me get into frostpunk, but IXION was pretty good.

We don’t grow our crops in a desert. They grow in very specific regions of the world, often in areas that are suitable due to natural formations and easily obtainable water. Most of Canada is forested land that is uninhabited with no infrastructure such as roads, running water, or electricity - not to mention there has never been a large agricultural presence in those areas, so it would have to be started from scratch, if it is possible at all.

When you say we’ll huddle around the proverbial fires, it might be a very small human population. Our civilization (likely including both of us) probably won’t be around at that point.

Whoa there pardner.

That’s like going into a church and telling everyone you didn’t like Jesus at first, but warmed up to him once you read the Quran.

Plants don’t grow without light. Plants can’t survive extreme heat and drought.

Once it gets too hot or too dry to grow crops, it won’t matter anymore. Call me a doomer, but we aren’t doing enough to stop that future from happening.

Social media is bad, but it’s worse when gamed and algorithms feed you shit. At least Lemmy lets you federated and it isn’t commercial.

I disagree that leaving things unsaid is the best approach to online discussion, especially when it comes to soundbite level social media like Lemmy and Reddit. Doing this puts forth the position that only one thing needs to be said, which is underhanded and intellectually dishonest.

You’re absolutely right that both mainstream parties in the US are closely related in policy, so it is a failure of those arguing against the Israeli genocide to not call this what it is: a governmental policy problem, not a single party problem. Saying “democrat bad, support Israeli genocide” while ignoring the opposite party just because it is not in power is a failure to point out the root cause of the issue. If we don’t want to support any genocide, we need to make sure that no matter what party is in power, it doesn’t happen.

I’ll ignore the fact that you disagree with their economic policies for now and continue to focus on the fact that this is a systematic issue, not one that is beholden to one party or the other.

I’m not defending their actions. I’m pointing out that there are those that astroturf social media that -only ever point out the negatives of one major political party while completely ignoring the other-.

So since you seem to be reasonable despite your satire and snark, what do you think about the Republicans and how they would handle the ongoing genocide?

Or will you prove my point again for me?

There are certain actors on Lemmy that I’m betting will disappear after the presidential election cycle or significantly pull back their posting.

Basically fanning the flames of “democrat bad, support israel genocide” while also saying “republican not in power, can’t blame them!”. Genocide is terrible no matter who does it and we shouldn’t pretend Republicans would be any better. In all likelihood, they would be worse.

BOE 2025

Last I checked in there some of the posters had a hard right slant. It’s not all of them, but enough to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

As much as I hate linking to it, you could probably find out by asking in the defcon warning system forums.

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.
