I mean, the picture does (seem to) show a heterosexual relationship. Unless you think only gay/bi dudes do butt stuff then idk what you’re reading into

That’s why you play the puppeteer

I am not at all representative of my age group (I am on lemmy ffs), but yes, I do know what winamp is/was.

Better hardware absolutely cuts loading times.

Unfortunately they patched the mscz downloads and now they’re charging for merely viewing more than one page of certain scores. Musescore4 is great but I hope musescore.com burns.

There are many kinds of evil, and also the morally gray. Evil doesn’t have to be evil just for the sake of it.

At the end of the day, these kinds of videogames tell stories, and a story full with nonsensical evil will only appeal to those freaks you talked about. In the other hand, if it is handled correctly, the story will appeal to a much broader audience. As an example, at the end of The Last Of Us (the show, idk about the game), the main character refuses to save the world because it would mean the death of the only family he had left, and massacres a lot of people in a mix of survival instinct and paternalistic rage. It is horrible from a moral perspective yet it is a good, engaging story.

I feel like, in the same sense, a character with impenetrable morality and no conflict would not be very entertaining to read/watch/play.

As for the workload, I’d rather they didn’t give me the option to be evil if the story is going to be bad. The devs themselves choose to make different paths, so at least have them be equally fun. (I’m not getting into pressures from above for “branching narratives” or any other marketable terms. Replace devs with “studios” if you wish.)

How will small artists get to make themselves known, though? Not everyone has the option to play live.

As a spaniard, that jamón is offending me.

There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for Wikipedia pages to move up a “classification chain”. According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that articles begin by defining the topic of the article. A consequence of this style is that the first sentence of an article is almost always a definitional statement, a direct answer to the question “what is [the subject]?”

I recommend watching a youtube recap of the history of the fandom as it really helps contextualize the whole comic, and it is quite fun, as such an excentric comic attracted an equally excentric fanbase. There are plenty of fun and gross anecdotes. As for the bucket, you can watch for yourself, but let me warn you…

I got into it blind and only learned about the fandom and the surrounding history after finishing it. It felt like reading a parallel story and it was actually pretty fun, but it only cemented my feeling of not wanting to be associated with them. I mean, the bucket. Just wow.

Exactly

Homestuck, Undertale, Hazbin Hotel, and all those popular pieces of media that get overshadowed by their shitty fandoms

¿Por qué no los dos?

You can use an external image host in the meantime (like imgur or catbox.moe, unfortunately I don’t know of any “open” solutions)

What if doing a little harm today leads to more good tomorrow (so, a net positive amount of good)? And in a year? And in two centuries?

I think I have an idea. When you post/comment, there should be a checkmark for “are you being serious?”. The default value should be chosen on a sub-per-sub basis, so all comments non-serious by default on, say, c/memes, and serious on c/news, for example. Then that information should be hidden unless you downvote or reply to a comment/post of the opposite seriousness to the default of the sub you’re in (I guess there could also be an option to see the warning always or on demand).

I think I should post this properly somewhere but idk where…

For those that didn’t read the article, they ended up getting along in the end and the wokeness rubbed off on some of them. Yay!

This was all somewhat baffling to Totten: In Oklahoma, as far as she knew, people’s pronouns weren’t a thing that was talked about. She had just never, ever heard a discussion of it, or even known that others had such discussions. “I’m being so for real,” she told me, her eyes wide, as we sat at a small table outside the dining hall in October.

The author was so real for keeping that quote.

Couldn’t have said it better myself
