That's a bit far-fetched. The name "shit just works" doesn't have any right-wing connotations. If you google it you get Bethesda memes and some Apple stuff.

I think the admin is just one dude who wasn't prepared for their instance to become so big. So far they've done the right thing given a couple days. Yesterday I saw an "anti vax" community on sh.itjustwor.ks, I reported it, today it's gone.

Until I see an actual "actually we should debate the Nazis" comment from them or maybe like a week has passed without action I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

The Dude seems to be trying to fence sit on extremely vitriolic transphobia and refusing to listen to the trans folks who are trying to warn everyone

That seems to be the consensus but I don't see where it comes from yet? This latest thing seems to have happened over the course of a day and their last message is 2 days ago.

For the "the donald" thing they appeared after a bit like "hey, catching up on everything, obviously it's gonna go". Seems likely the same would happen here? Just feels like a busy regular guy who could use some mods.

Unless there's some non-public stuff I'm not aware of as a newcomer?

Your mileage may vary. I find the writing crude but I still enjoy the books as light reading.

My main (but not only) beef is that the narration of the dungeon (the "ai") talks like a 16yo boy. Lots of swearing, sexual allusions, whores and bitches, etc. Then the main character rolls his eyes or makes a comment to show disapproval. But it's still in the book, constantly, so you're supposed to find it funny.

No plot holes as far as I can tell, though.

The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.

I think I'm like a 3 or 4.

I remember some years back there was a "test" going around the internet where you were supposed to picture an apple moving off a table in your head, and then it would ask you "ok what did the person pushing the apple look like, what color were their clothes, etc." and I thought "oh shit do I have aphantasia?"

Later I realized that couldn't be entirely true since I do picture characters in books, although I always picture them as an actor or another character from a comic/show/movie, never as an original face.

Personally I like metroidvanias for the exploration. If a game tells me where to go (e.g. Metroid Prime 4) it feels like the game is playing for me, robbing me of the fun.

You might like platformers more than metroidvanias specifically?
