Too fucked up and funny for contemporary audiences.
You can have a commune of wiccans represented respectfully in the game, with a soup making minigame, a small patch for planting and harvesting vegetables you can use, and a short quest chain featuring a little "theatre" performance event near the end, where you get to play the role of one of the fae. You even get a "play dead" button. The commune will feature interesting and iconic characters with appropriate jokes.

It's just how some lumpy butts fold. Badly.

Alternative title: Another company is working on self driving cars, they say they're trying to make it good.
Our contact claims "We're trying to make something that is useful and not dangerous."

Impressive and commendable, but irrelevant.

It would be called "OurSpace", but really it would be "The Party's Space"

Idk about all the rest of it, but you might be able to learn to watch your tone. You know, modulate your voice better. Figure out what sounds aggressive and how to catch it, maybe apologize for it if appropriate, then consciously avoid it for a bit.
I think I've had a couple friends like you, and while there were a few things to tolerate with them (as I'm sure there were with me as well), the weirdly/slightly aggressive tone they had a bit too often made hanging out with them a little bit worse than it could've been.
Still happy to have spent the time I did with them. I'm still hanging out with one of them and he's still aggressively into some games, TFT now, but he's chilled out a bit it seems or I just notice it less. It comes back when he gets competitive or drunk.

Nothing unhealthy about that. Video games, crying and arson are the holy trinity of our generation. It's just contemporary culture.

NFS Heat felt good. Just a good game.
Everything between Heat and the first Most Wanted (I think?) was trash, I looked at reviews and played demos and saw nothing but garbage and usually a frontend for a microtransaction model.
I'm one of those who didn't buy Unbound because the theme ended up being a bit of a gimmick, they didn't lean into it enough to make it cool, they held back and delivered something unexciting.

You can't just build shelter and grow food. All the land, clay, and wood is owned by someone else. You need to earn your land, clay, and wood. But we will give you some free food. We won't give you shelter, we were playing with the idea and kind of set it up, but decided to not really do that. We allow you to temporarily set up tents in our woods and pick some foods there, but you can't plant anything and you have to pay us if you want to hunt our animals, and if you camp in one place too long the forest police will arrest you. If you camp in our cities, we'll have the normal police chase you around. Maybe break your stuff, maybe beat you up. Sometimes we'll go farther. Don't camp in our cities.

That must be more right than what I used to think, because it's certainly not any kind of freedom.
I don't think there's a place in the West that demands more obedience and denies more freedoms in the average man's life than USA does.

If humans did literally nothing ever at all, the world would be teeming with a lot more life.
The question in my mind is more about whether the local environment serves us without sacrificing too much of the natural environment, and a high maintenance cosmetic lawn doesn't serve me or nature at all.

Yeah, you don't use the 5e handbook as your character sheet, just like you don't use the Bible as your moral code.
You get to not play as a charitable and kind Christian if you don't want to, you can just as well play a greedy and mean subclass.

I think it's fine, we don't want people eating when they haven't served us first. If we own the country, I see no reason to tolerate loose people freeloading off it's bounty when we don't have to.

Ukrainian gunsmithing is wild.
This one and the 2-mile sniper:
It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.  (https://www.reddit.com/r/StopKillingGames/comments/1flaevi/let_me_put_the_current_campaign_progress_into_a/) I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this: It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it. While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.
Because the shops don't fucking sell them, and that makes me sad for some reason. They're just on like Temu and shit like that, usually with weirdly small black panels.
Too many users here prefer smaller communities and have openly stated they aren't interested in making accommodations to pursue growth to a truly large platform, even if it could be. Lemmy is the sort of site that will linger in the background and quietly die out, it'll occassionally be mentioned in the same sorts of conversation that bring up old alternatives like voat, rare conversations with few readers. I had some optimism at the growth spurt, but seeing what the opinions of users here were, that hope turned into cynicism. As I forgot about Lemmy, it's irrelevance was reinforced. It would be best, I think, if this foundation could replace its competitors. But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think you want common idiots to like the site.
I posted a comment with a link to an article on CNN and several links to architecture and construction websites. It seems like reddit doesn't like comments with untrusted links? Are they being subtly hidden from the thread? If this is being done at any scale at all I wonder if it's a significant cause of the feeling that the internet has shrunk into a few main sites, linking to a recognizable relatively small selection of news and media sources.
I saw some clay sculpting tools and started thinking it would be sweet to cut metal with something like that. The tools I saw are apparently called pottery ribbon tools, so more of a ribbon than a wire then.
Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?
It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?
Isn't that supposed to only happen on Posts>All>New? Shouldn't Active/Hot posts require some existing engagement before appearing? Does lemm.ee sometimes sync with federated instances, which is when new content floods en masse? This is one of the experiences I've had that makes Lemmy feel far more janky than reddit.com/r/all
"help" just means "a conversation" and that really doesn't make a difference worse, it's like you're saying "If you have cancer, treatment is available." but what you're actually offering is a daily bowl of fairly healthy soup. you're running exaggerated, optimistic advertising.
It was amazing for a decade or two, but now the night scares me, I do not know what awaits us in the morning.
I think this place is too fragmented into instances to ever generate a front page anywhere near what r/all is. If I understand this page right, https://lemm.ee will never show the top post of the day from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, https://discuss.tchncs.de/, or https://feddit.uk/. And the "front page/general" site is already split into several instances (https://vlemmy.net/, https://lemmy.world/, https://sh.itjust.works/, https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ and https://lemmy.one/, all claiming to be "a general front page lemmy instance") So what's the deal, which one are we betting on as ***the place*** to direct all the new traffic? What's the contender for primary public internet bulletin board? Right now the arrow to an alternative is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/L1XsBy6.pngd I'm personally guessing the conclusion is already reached; We have no place we're betting on. We're disinterested in pushing for any particular result. We don't expect people to migrate. Many might not even want them to.
