It still looks pretty bad (in a good way): https://reddark.untone.uk/

Almost 7,000 subs private, including many of the biggest ones. This is by no means letting up.

Absolutely. It’s disappointing that this person read a post made by the Beehaw admins that was written with nuance and grace, and then decided to respond with vitriol. That’s exactly the kind of attitude that is so prolific on Reddit, and I am happy to leave it behind. Thank you for your reasoned reply.

OP, I encourage you in the future to choose grace.

Remember when they released their roadmap…for their roadmap? Lol

The content and world in MMOs feels superficial. I much prefer a tightly constructed narrative with deep, meaningful character development. The Last Of Us is a great example of this.

Well, give young people some credit, though. Mostly they're the ones that have been closing their subs and migrating here and working to develop FOSS software like Lemmy. I say this as someone in my late 30s.

Absolutely love this philosophy! Keep up the fantastic work.

Blood Meridian is stunning, but seriously--if you're not in a good mental place, absolutely do not read it. It's...well, 'dark' really doesn't even begin to describe it.

Blood Meridian.

Does opening this in a private window or another browser enable you to read it?

Do not care for open world crafting games. Minecraft, Day Z, fuck even the new Zelda looks to have some kind of crafting system. That just feels like endless fucking grinding to me.

If Havertz was worth 70m, then Chelsea wouldn't be selling him.

games shouldn’t feel like work

Oh, boy. Let me tell you about Eve Online, aka, Excel Spreadsheet Simulator. You would LOVE that game! lol

Ugh. Absolutely gutted by this. One of my all time favorite authors. This man’s prose is simply unmatched. An honest to god national treasure. Fuck.

Should be fixed now, can you try again please and let me know if it doesn't work?

This should be fixed, can you give it a try now please?

Thought the link was in the title, sorry.

This should be fixed now. I can find it on other instances, though I'm not sure how kbin works. Can you please try again?

My guess is that it takes some time to work its way through the federation. I had to manually add it just now to the Fediverse Observe, and got this message when I did so:

Data successfully inserted! Your server will be checked and live on the list in a few hours!

Update: working now, and is listed there: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/go&domain=thegarden.land

Yeah, this one has a lot of existential dread about death and the human condition. It's BLEAK. So if you're struggling with depression, strong avoid.

Get better, friend. I'm sorry you're having a tough time with things. FWIW, I struggle as well with the same thing.

Total agreement on all points.

I tried Sekiro, really gave it a solid go for a couple weeks, thought it was insanely difficult but I was getting the hang of it…

Then the tutorial basically ended. Fuck that game. The difficulty scale looks more like a cliff that turns over your head. No clue how anyone can enjoy that kind of thing. How is it enjoyable or relaxing to die 30, 40 times before beating a boss??

I simply hate how they act benevolent where the reality is the opposite; that their admins are legitimately overlords akin to a full-time power-abusing reddit moderator.

What do you mean by this? Do you have examples? Maybe you’re correct and I just haven’t seen it, but every example I’ve seen of them responding to something has been great.

Regarding your comment that I need to act with more grace, my apologies. You are correct, I should be less aggressive in my opinions and will self-censor henceforth to protect and maintain the humility of the discussions that occur here.

Don’t sweat it, brother. <3
