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.

Ech@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Frostpunk hits 5 million copies sold in six years, boasting average playtime of 24 hoursEnglish3·1 year agoI 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.
Why use an edited version? It completely ruins the joke.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•Taking in the best moments while you canEnglish114·1 year agoYou’re getting downvoted unfairly here. Yes, it’s the “right” choice to maximize the time with your kids when you can as those moments will go by faster than we think they will, but it’s also not the wrong choice to make sure you take care of yourself. Every parent is going to make their own decisions, and nobody’s “doing it wrong” as long as the child is reasonably happy and healthy (to the extent uncontrollable forces allow). We’re all just getting along here.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Videos@lemmy.world•(Proper trim vs. what Anne and many of us do) You're (Probably) Killing Your Fruit Trees [35:44 | May 01 2023 | Anne of All Trades]English4·1 year agoFwiw, everything they posted was from the details left under the video by the creator.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
*It even collapses/expands images as you change posts! Perfect!
Ech@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Part of the Social Security website (ssa.gov) only works during certain hoursEnglish4·2 years agoI 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”.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instanceEnglish97·2 years agoNah. 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.
That was my thought. Impossible to say in just a few months, of course, but here’s hoping it’s legit!
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.
I got the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro a little while ago for the hall-effect joysticks and am liking it so far. Haven’t used it a bunch with my Deck, but when I did, it worked well. It’s $60, though, so maybe too pricey.
I hate that this meme always implies Trump handed that dude something smart when it was just absolute bullshit.
I’m assuming this is more a comment on the modern news cycle than about Reddit. Hell, most things barely last a few days outside of their immediate time frame, let alone a week.
Ech@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?3·2 years agoSome things just completely skew your home page with just a single viewing. I am very careful with my watch history, only watching one off stuff from other sites in a private window. That seems to work well.
Ech@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?47·2 years agoGo into the viewing history and wipe it. Then maybe view some more normal stuff to set it on a good track. That should give a good reset for her, though it wouldn’t stop her from just looking it up again, of course.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People with custom pronouns, how do you prefer to be addressed? (she/they for example)172·2 years agoEveryone has “custom” pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends FacebookEnglish335·2 years agoI find your hyperbolic outrage over nothing “distasteful” and “disrespectful”. Go to another instance if you feel so strongly instead of trying to rile up some sort of revolt against the admins as if that would accomplish anything.
Ech@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends FacebookEnglish624·2 years agoYou’re linking your own post about assuming what the admins in .world have done as if it’s definitive proof. After a definitive statement is made one way or the other, then you can start freaking out. Until then, just stop it with the conspiratorial garbage.
Some people can use help on puzzles, sure, and I don’t hate when a game gives some hints or guidance there, but it can be a bit egregious (God of War was terrible with this, and I heard Ragnarok was even worse). What really drives me up the wall is the constant hectoring by npcs or even the player character to get to the next mission checkpoint, often in open-world games where a lot of the fun of the game is exploring outside of the narrow mission path. It’s like devs have such little faith in their game that they want the player to just finish it as soon as possible and not investigate it too much.
I’m replaying RDR2 and a huge part of the enjoyment of that game is just going off and hunting or running into random encounters. For the most part, the player can just go off doing their own thing, ignoring the plot entirely. Can you imagine how awful it would be if Arthur was constantly muttering about how he should be on his way to this point or another, just to progress the story?
Image generators are reverse llms, tbf. Steve Mould has a good explanation of it.
