I'm struggling to understand it too, especially from instance owners. FB is diametrically opposed to FOSS and decentralized ideals. My only guess is the hopefulness people feel for decentralized internet extends to naivete about FB doing the right thing this time.

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

The tactics are known and proven. Your gut is correct.
EEE

I don't really know that I have a duty to do that. And I've been beating the drum for a decade plus now. We see what little good it does. People just want the easiest UI/UX regardless of other considerations.
But I'm open to hearing your suggestion on how you teach someone on a corporate platform associated with Facebook how corporate owned internet is bad.
I could and should make my rule include a call to action to create an account on another instance. Is that sufficient education?

I inherited my addiction from a coworker/friend. I was recruited to help him pass a wall he could not solo through in MHFU: the infamous Plesioth hipcheck barrier. He set me up with an LBG, probably the most straight forward weapon for a non-hunter gamer to grasp. From there, things just spiraled as I lost control of my life. Through fortunate timing, Tri was only months from release when I started my MHFU journey, so I developed my habit right as a steady supply of the primo ish was starting to come out, and I haven't wanted to or been able to shake the habit since.

Is outbound federation a known issue?
I've just tested inbound from sh.itjust.works and it was instantaneous. But my outbound posts that have worked take hours and none have succeeded for days.

I just tested inbound federation from sh.itjust.works and it was instantaneous. For the past few days, none of my outbound from lemmy.world to anywhere, including sh.itjust.works has succeeded and it took hours for the few that made it through before that.
So I'm guessing its a .world issue of some kind.

Perhaps crazy how sudden and fast it happened, but not that it happened at all. Enshittification is a well known thing by now and it comes for all the corporate sites with IPO dreams. Any hope Reddit had of staying true to its purpose died with Aaron.
Lemmy/kbin/the fediverse has a better shot at resisting that due to the decentralized nature. But, the younger generations have some tech learning to do if all the reports about their general inability to use anything that's not an app is to be believed.

I wouldn't until they commented or posted. Then you can see their instance in the user name.
And I agree, defederation would be great. But I don't control that. So, short of packing up shop, this is my idea for now.

Uragaan armor has a certain…how the French say “I don’t know what.”

Ever since the day Tri blessed us with the Swaggiest of Axes, it's been my go-to, where I start all titles and know It will just fit while I learn the new lay of the land. Styling on mons while I morb all over the place just fits like a glove.
But I also maintain a healthy rotation of Lance, CB, and Bow as well.
Bow is usually reserved for endgame since it typically is at its best then.
Picked up Charge Blade and really mained it in 4U. These days, I can't really resist the pizza cutter now and then.
I toyed with Lance in FU, but it also became more of what it is today in Tri when it got the counter thrust and its just been getting better since.

I'm not a hopeful man, but I do have an expectation that Capcom has a bit more pride in their products than gamefreak/pokemon co. So hearing that they want this to be a marketing tool for the brand writ large and likely the hype leader for MH6 gives it some small chance it will be worth playing, at least until it's served its purpose and goes downhill.

In one way it was kind of the perfect monster hunter movie: The plot made no sense and I wasn't there for it. But it was cool as shit to see Nerscylla, Diablos, Rathalos, and the chef in hollywood graphics. And that's all I remember.

Rolling with a crew is always a treat. So many great times with hunting buddies over the years. Welcome. Enjoy the wait for MH6 with the rest of us.

Wow, you spread like a virus. Excellent MH evangelism. Certainly helps to have "lucked into" what many considered the GOAT in 4U. Welcome hunter, keep spreading the good word.

Boomsticking is a noble profession, but seems to get the ass end of the stick for QoL and balance, based on what I read. I've never clicked with it, even in RiseBreak. And, pre-Shockproof, I was growing hateful of GLers for Bullet Barrage. But that jet propulsion system is cool as shit and looks fun.

Your specific communities might not have established the pipeline yet. But the federation between world and kbin is open. I can see posts and comments for my content on both sides, even at the time of your post.

The Black Pool is a...unique...experience.
If you have 28GB to spare and ample patience, its worth it.
Imagine Stranger Things and Control had a eurojank, roguelite baby.

Congratulations on being the first community post (not from me).
