Does nobody get that the original isn't literally fine with burning alive? I've seen multiple "fixes" that are just needlessly spelling out the subtext.

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.

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!?!?"

I'm imagining the flashback battle in Fellowship, with Sauron blasting groups of soldiers out of the way, just as Darth Vader instead.

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.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

*It even collapses/expands images as you change posts! Perfect!

I think it's less "this line is for emergencies" and more "our online process could takes days to get a response, here's a line to a real human".

Nah. What's weird is you thinking everyone should follow your strict rules about national segregation online.

If it's such a problem for you, instead of begging everyone else to fit your narrow world view, go find an instance that works better for you. Or, when you don't because that's ridiculous, make your own and block it off from everyone else not following your rules. Then you might be happy.

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?

Not sure if I just lack the morbid curiosity most people have, but I never understood the draw to look for those things. I'd hear about them and just put it on a mental list to never touch.
