The content/users aren't here so I'm stubbornly trying to post content and comment whenever I can.

Even if I shout into the void, or get a few upvotes and little other engagement.

Although I understand it's not for everyone, I encourage you to help out with that ;-;

There was an r/hobbydrama post on her awhile back that I copied to lemmy.world.

I always appreciate the Epic posts. I know it is a known weekly thing, I also tend to forget with all the other things going on in my life to actually go claim the weekly free game. Your posts remind me to do that.

Being charitable, no deadline + they chose to write this for fun so it's a passion project as opposed to an "ugh another thing I have to do for work I guess" project.

This is why I feel so so lucky to be a small-breasted woman who does not live somewhere hot 24/7.

If I ever do put on a bra it is because I expect I'll be running (only situation I have been in where breasts hurt braless, very thankful), or because the silhouette of my nipples is visible through my clothes and I don't want it to be. A good deal of my wardrobe won't show nipple even if I go braless, but not all of it is like that and so I put on a bra.

Delighted to see another Mbin magazine for once. It is the Fediverse, and lately it's been feeling like the Lemmyverse. Hope this gets users.

The final aesthetic is called submission, though I prefer the term that the Extra Credits’ team use: abnegation. It just sounds cooler and more complicated. Submission is the pleasure you get from turning off your brain and losing yourself in a task you don’t have to think too hard about. Grinding levels in World of Warcraft. Mining minerals in Minecraft. Farming item drops in Diablo III.

Now, submission is an odd one to discuss in tabletop RPGs because it is one that tabletop RPGs doesn’t handle so well. The thing is, even the simplest tasks in an RPG require a high cognitive load. You have to think things through. But still, the concept of “beer and pretzels” play exists for a reason. Go down into a dungeon, kick down doors, kill orcs, take their loot, go back to town. Lather, rinse, repeat. That is submission or abnegation.

And there are people who want exactly that. They look like challenge seekers sometimes, but they don’t want to work too hard or think too hard. They just want to goof around and enjoy a simple game with clear, straightforward goals.

This tweet was kinda vague but it got me thinking, what if we got an alternate pacifist ending to Minecraft how should it be? In my opinion I think it would be something that needs ingenuity instead of a fighting challenge.

• You go out of the End Island by building a bridge or flying machine
• you find a structure with unbreakable blocks
• go through hard challenges that require thinking

In the End, you won't find any treasure or regular End Portal frames. Instead, you need to craft blocks from a crafting table that was in there, and put them in unusual looking frames. The blocks would be unnamed to signify that you're creating something new, something you alone could make and name. You'd probably have the ability to make it into any color texture or shape you like then, no matter what ingredient. You could make only 12. If you go back and kill the dragon they disappear so you have to make to make a choice It would be a nice and kinda poetic ending to Minecraft.

Any time anyone ever says War Thunder all I can think of is people leaking military information on the game forums.

• Classified Challenger tank specs leaked online for videogame (1st time)
• Classified tank specs leaked on War Thunder game forums – again (2nd time)
• War Thunder Forums Have, For the Third Time, Been Used to Leak Classified Military Intel (3rd time)
• War Thunder players leak military documents on forums, again (9th time)
• Military secrets leaked on ‘War Thunder’ forums yet again (12th time)
• For 13th time, sensitive military information leaked on ‘War Thunder’
• Sensitive documents showed up on War Thunder forums. Again. (14th time)

May or may not come back and edit with more links for the other times

There's a lot. I do not want to spam ![email protected], and they're also not new, although I know not-new-but-still-small communities have been allowed to get posted before. Now that you mention it, I could probably just make a few posts or one giant post listing related communities together…

And because it is relevant, the Sir Bearington story most people know.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This is one of the few hilariouschaos communities that seem less like a recipe for… well… chaos and unpleasantry, and more like a place to collect people with an interest in things that are not purely chaos.

In your defense, "Segway" is a real brand of some kind of transport thingy, which might be where you picked it up.

Hey, I remember your name from kbin.social and I have not seen you in awhile, nice to see you're still up and kicking on the Fediverse.

I just lucked out. As soon as I figured out what I was doing I wanted off of the flagship instance to help with decentralization, went to kbin.cafe whose admin abandoned it so I went to kbin.run, and kbin.run happened to make the switch to Mbin.

Happy with my current instance, but the urge to try out PieFed grows… would probably mean abandoning Mbin though and Mbin is already so tiny compared to Lemmy…

Part 2

This infinity crackhead has really gone of the deep end.

But to much of the community, it was just kind of sad.

EMPRESS, if what you want is just ask us to forget all about the last few days/weeks and move on, just say so. It's fine, we will. You don't need to make up stories.

I think the funniest response to the whole letter is “Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.”

I really admired her... before she went batshit, like, she was the only one cracking denuvo, asking us what we wanted cracked next, for a time, she was the real queen of the pirates...then she went full fascist, started rambling about gender supremacy, seeing enemies everywhere, shit just went down hill, shit

But worry not! Despite being caught in the act of piracy, EMPRESS would proclaim on her website that the investigation had ended and her lawyer had gotten her off the hook. She was back to cracking. It was a long and gruelling prison sentence that went on for over three months, but she had survived.

Jokes. This announcement came two days after the alleged arrest. Apparently the ‘police raid’ was nothing more than a lenient, routine police check.

But nonetheless, the harrowing experience had reformed Empress into a new woman. She apologised to the people she had offended, and promised to start again without hate or conflict.

i am very emotional soul, and i burst with emotions quiet easily. so i want to give an official apology to ALL repackers, and ALL people who ever got offended from me due to that. i messed up before, but i will not mess up again. i put hope in your kindness, and your ability to forgive.

For once, her fans and haters were united. They were all happy to see her back. Whether she had really been arrested, or had simply invented the whole thing as an excuse to reinvent herself, they hoped it would be a positive change.

I am happy with it. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives. I hope you are doing well after this and everything will be back to normal.

[…]

Mistakes happen but it is brave of u that u accepted those mistakes and want to start afresh! You will always have the chance to start afresh and nobody can take that from you! Now prove that you are the best and have a peaceful relationship with everyone!

Thank you for your efforts

Of course, there were those who thought this was yet another stunt. People were starting to question her claims about the Scene being dead. Perhaps, they said, EMPRESS had become a lone wolf because she was kind of antisocial.

if they wanna start fresh why not come clean about the police lie? it was so obvious.

There were pundits asking when the Netflix adaptation would come out, and others congratulating her on the world’s shortest police investigation.

this is like a soup opera i fucking love it

So where are we now? Well the philosophy came back with a vengeance, but it was largely contained to EMPRESS’s own subreddit and her website. Her releases, such as Resident Evil Village and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, have helped earn back some goodwill.

Speaking for the whole community, one man said:

I just wanna play games man jeez...

”I don’t wanna get black fungus, thank you”

Unfortunately, this redemption arc would not come to pass.

EMPRESS just couldn’t keep from stirring shit. Not long after her dramatic return, she went on an odd rant against Indians, and announced that she was done being Pirate Jesus, she wanted to be Pirate Pinochet now.

the days of “the kind empress” is LONG GONe and FINISHED.

MALES has “proved” they are TRASH. And I only need the “good” ones, those who actually have a brain in their skull.

and to anyone wondering, YES I hate 99% of india’s retards.

I know who here is indian, and I haven’t spoken against them cause of their “country”. but I will NEVER stop expressing how I hate that country as a “Whole”.

When someone asked if she had ever visited India, she confirmed that she had not.

This caused a lot of drama. As it turns out, there are quite a few Indians out there. And since a lot of games don’t sell in India, they make up a LOT of the piracy community. One of my favourite responses (from user u/Don11390) was this:

Wow. As an Indian guy, I went from "Oh, she's basically a chuuni character that escaped into our world from some shitty manga" to "I really hope she gets hit by a truck" after seeing that screenshot.

Of course, most people already hated her, and the rest weren’t going to change their minds. The only reason she gained any attention was because people wanted games.

Was free on Epic awhile back, check to make sure you didn't get it there already

Not sure them just defederating to stay small and to be able to handle all the reports, if I recall correctly, is the same thing as making arbitrary decisions in order to feel powerful.

But I never put commas or points into the contract?”

Either he put 98000, or he wrote 98 and some spreadsheet autoformatter changed it to 98.000 and he never noticed because he's not supposed to be a competent character.

In the end I just took it as a fun story, but I get finding something unrealistic, it not passing your willing suspension of disbelief, and pulling you out of the story and making it hard to enjoy.
