i see there was a dog/cat split. personally i would have just embraced chaos and started inter-bureaucracy war and forcibly changed the icon/header/pronouns to cat stuff but maybe this is a more mature solution

Oh, I should have edited my comment, I went looking after this and technically federation has been open since late February, but as far as i can tell you can only host personal single-user instances for now.

are there actually any other instances than bsky.social?

Doubt it, these people are already fucking up their kids with Covid and don’t care at all

I don’t know about for bearded people, but I own an Envo Pro and have had to stop wearing it for work because it was hurting my face. I still wear it if I’m going out for less than like 2 hours but just wanted to warn others since it’s kind of expensive.

Cool! I’m not really sure what to suggest because unfortunately my knowledge of queer history is still lacking in a lot of ways, but I crossposted to hexbear’s !traa to hopefully help get some more insight.

Used a sick day to get out of work. I do not have the energy to put up with the holiday rush lol. I don’t know what the plan is for the rest of the day now, maybe read some more? I started The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People’s History of Ancient Rome on my way home last night, so maybe I’ll get comfy and read the next chapter of that. I’ve been meaning to watch Nosferatu as well, so maybe it’s time for that. I don’t really know anything about the movie other than the fact that it’s an old vampire movie, so hopefully it’ll be interesting.

Do you all prefer to go into media blind, or do you prefer to know what you are getting into? Personally, I like going in knowing as little as possible, but for movies/shows I sometimes end up learning a lot before watching anyways, because I like to watch with my wife if she’s interested, but she can’t watch really violent stuff and unfortunately there is a lot of that out there.

oh cool! thanks for letting me know. too bad you weren’t able to find anyone to summon you, but good to know there’s still some pvp’ers at least. i might just end up pirating it after all, and if the game goes on sale i can just start another character if i really want to.

this shit is so pathetic

According to the article, other counties tried this already in 2020 and 2022 so I doubt anything comes of this. Pretty funny though

Yep it still averages like 200 players online. Probably not even worth it to be honest, but I don’t know, I really enjoy the online in these games so I’d like to try at least. I’m a little worried I won’t run in to anybody, but when I played Demon’s Souls PS3 there was usually only like 10-20 people online through RPCN and I still managed to get invaded and invade, never co-op though sadly.

Nice, I hope you enjoy them! I’ve never played 2, I’ve heard it’s pretty different from the first game.

Wilds looks like fun but I’m skipping it because Capcom decided to shit it up with Denuvo

I’m finishing Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow probably either tonight or tomorrow, another really fun game! I don’t know if I like it more or less than Symphony of the Night yet. I think it did some stuff better, like I think the soul system is a lot more enjoyable than having to hunt around the castle for sub-weapons if you want a specific one. I like that there’s more types of weapons too, but I ended up just using the normal swords the whole time because I liked being able to cancel the attack by landing too much lol.

I’m not sure what’s next yet! I really wanted to play Dark Souls II, but I’d like to play the vanilla version, and I don’t have $40 to spend on a game right now. I’d usually just pirate it, but I want to be able to play online too so I guess I have to be patient. Hopefully it goes on sale sometime soon. Otherwise I don’t have anything specific in mind. Maybe I can finally get around to Final Fantasy VI? I’ve been wanting to give Metal Gear Solid 2 another try as well now that I can emulate the PS3 version.

PokéRogue looks interesting, I’ll have to try that out at some point. There’s another fun Pokémon roguelite that’s a hack of Emerald that I had a good time with, you might like that one too. https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-emerald-rogue.479406/

.45 Parabellum Bloodhound looks really cool too! Did you ever play Parasite Eve? The combat looks like it’s very inspired by that game.

i love these lil goobers

Yeah, I misunderstood this post at first thinking Dunkey was being transphobic as well because I remember him being the typical Gamer manchild, slurs and all, that one would expect to be that way. I haven’t seen anything from him in years so maybe he’s different now, but I was a little surprised to see he has fans here because he definitely seemed like an edgy loser back then.

i can’t even tell who they want me to vote for
