Drakonia

he GONE series by Michael Grant. Ive wished for a series based on the books since I first touched them.

you make people eat things they hate and they kill each other over boulders in the visible vicinity. sometimes the higher power tries its best to kill them, other times you get 36 milk.

so, professional scratch?

more or less. most are perfectly legible once you know what its supposed to say and some can be read by almost anyone.
this one specifically though is recognizable by its crowded pattern and unique shape with the horns on the bottom. its not designed to be legible in the first place (especially not with this much compression), sort of satirizing the whole thing, and thats kinda the point of their name and band in its entirety

they're a south african brutal death metal band. the name is an abbreviation of sorts, with the full name being: Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus

yep definitely a protector, just not a high quality tempered glass one. it has cutouts for the camera and all and there was a protective sleeve over it.

yeah thas just the consequence of that instance being linked in a lot of exodus posts... not much we can change but i assume itll equalize out as lemmy grows and people spread out to other instances. ofc that a lot of the communities are on .ml sucks but that too may change with future developments such as multi-community implementations.

i mean its literally .ml so im not sure exactly what you were expecting? except for most of the reddfugees being directed there, the core demographic is tankies. just use an instance more alligned with your values instead; i use slrpnk.net because well im an Anarcho-Solarist.

and if the tankie content really impacts your enjoyment of lemmy, just block offending users or communities.

hes really going for gold in the scumlympics

cheap case (no front cover), stock (came pre-applied) screen protector thats scratched to hell from my nails swiping across it. thats it, no cracks or other damages except miniscule (like 0.5mm) chips in three of the corners from dropping it constantly.
