Nature is a beautiful thing, but nature has never been caring. As humans, our entire history has seen our attempts to seperate ourselves from the reality of the natural world.

Perhaps then, we are not so different from the tiny people of Beautiful Darkness, written by Fabien Vehlmann, and wondrously illustrated in watercolour by the artist duo Kerascoët, Beautiful Darkness tells the story of a fairytale society, and their emergence into the real world, as their home; the decaying corpse of a little girl in the woods, begins to deteriorate, and the story of their survival in the aftermath.

At only 112 pages, primarily consisting of artwork, Beautiful Darkness is a great fit for a lazy evening, and my recommendation for you today. :)

Blurb attached:

Newly homeless, a group of fairies find themselves trying to adapt to their new life in the forest. As they dodge dangers from both without and within, optimistic Aurora steps forward to organize and help build a new community. Slowly, the world around them becomes more treacherous as petty rivalries and factions form.

Admittedly a risky crosspost, but cannot find conflicting community rules. I believe the possible discussion justifies it.

Or 'What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?'

I believe it's a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it's not a task that's ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What's Stopping you from using PeerTube?

Hello, ![email protected], I am a moderator of the ![email protected] and ![email protected] communities, and I wish to ask for the opinions of people who are a part of this community.

[email protected] has less than a fourteenth of the users of it's equivalent lemmy.world community, and has had only three posts over the last year.

With this in mind, I am proposing that this community be closed, and redirected towards the larger Fallout community here on Lemmy.

I do agree with the stated purpose of promoting decentralisation on Lemmy, but I have not found this community to meaningfully break away from centralised instances. And in the interest of preventing fragmentation of instances, to the negative effect of both communities, I believe this would be the best course of action.

I do not, however, wish to assert this opinion over others who have more invested in this community than I do. And so, I am asking for feedback from the members of this community. If this post is already locked by the time you see it, reach out to me on my piefed account, @[email protected], which I check more frequently.

Thank you in advance for your time, and I thank the users of this community for their efforts in building, namely @[email protected], and [email protected] for founding the community, and their notable activity respectively.

Hey, Ask, we all know that people love to talk about themselves, and I'd love to hear about some of your pleasant experiences. So, please, no matter how big; no matter how small, tell me something that you are proud to have made :)

Those familiar with Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres worldbuilding series will be glad to hear that it's new sequel (sister?) series has just had it's first release 'Doing without Agriculture,' exploring a few of the ways that a fictional alien species, the development of which was covered in the last series, could develop their societies in the abscence of agrarian technology.

Hey, c/FalloutMods, rosahaj here. June is coming to a close, and with it, the month-long observance of Pride month with it. And so, what better topic is there to dedicate this month's megathread to than the modding community's very own Pride mods?

Fallout 4

• Elianora has long shown commitment to padding out the Fallout modding scene with pride mods, so why not paint the town red (yellow, green, etc) with Craftable Pride Flags?
• Scars tell stories, few pleasant. There is however, the notable exception of molding one's body fit for form, which you'll be able to display with Radbeetle's Top Surgery Scars Overlay?
• Admit it, the wasteland gets awfully lonely on those long, cold nights. Lone wanderers certainly not exempted, though they won't have to fret for long with Blahaj Emotional Support, where you'll get to fashion your very own companion to carry forth into the great unknown. Thanks to Herby247 you'll be granted the privilege of your very own blå-, or perhaps even... rosahaj?

Fallout: New Vegas

• Expiry dates be damned, if you're gonna live in the shithole that is post-war America, you're gonna do it as your authentic self! [HRT New Vegas - Immersive Gender Change by ProfMajkowski introduces a brand new, configurable, transitioning mechanic!
• Like Mick always says, 'a polite society is an armed society', and you'll be able to show any ne'er-do-wells exactly where you stand on community defense with kylemarshiku's Pride Arsenal. After all, nobody ever said progress was easy.

Fallout 3

• Fallout 3 hasn't seen the privilege of making the cut for these monthly posts before, but something would be amiss if I skipped Pope74220's Pride Flag you can beat people with. After all, you'll be spreading the love one way or another

As always, feel more than welcome to contribute your very own suggestions in the discussion of this post! And with that, dear readers, I bid you farewell.

Hey there, c/FalloutMods! The month of May, known by some as working class history month, is coming to a close. And in the spirit of working class cooperation, this month's monthly modding mega-thread will be dedicated to settlements!

Fallout 4

• If there's one thing Fallout 4's settlement system lacks, it would be the actual 'settling'. Conquest solves this problem by allowing you to set out into the Commonwealth and beyond, and stake your very own claim. Ranging from campsites to full fledged towns!
• A community without children is a community without a future, and if the wasteland is going to produce anything in droves, that would be orphans. With Orphans of the Commonwealth your dreams of self-sustaining child communes can come true, simply build it and they will come, just like any other settlers!
• No discussion on Fallout settlements is complete without Sim Settlements 2 which, alongside it's subsequent chapters, introduces brand new, dynamic and self-building settlement mechanics. If you haven't checked it out yet, absolutely do so.

Fallout: New Vegas

• Some of you may be asking, how on Earth does this post extend to New Vegas? And to that I would say, you clearly haven't heard of Real Time Settler, New Vegas's very own settlement mechanics mod which predates Fallout 4's launch. And hey, if it doesn't sound great to you - rest assured that Bethesda sure seemed to think otherwise.

And that closes this month's monthly post. If you enjoyed this list, or feel like you have your own contributions, please feel free to share your thoughts in this post's discussion.

Another wonderful review by Warlockracy, with a very novel twist.

Another wonderful review by Warlockracy, with a very novel twist.

Hello, c/FalloutMods! Today is the first of April, as you may already be well aware, and already we're seeing some fantastic, perhaps even must-have mods coming from the theoretical physicists in the Fallout modding community. Check them out in this month's list!

Garry's Mod 4

• Prepare your trusty Tool Gun (beautifully modelled by ShimSham, because this month's workshop mods are something else!
• Live your inner Max Payne with Pig's new Hawaiian Shirts!
• Prepare for the future of warfare by slopping up your weapons with the new Fishtachment Pack by Selakii!
• Feel a chill down your spine? That would probably be Glitchfinder's ghoulish Curse of the Heebie-Jeebies, which will leave you looking behind your back in fright!
• Ever get hungry modding Fallout, but just can't be bothered to get up and cook? Then feel free to make a Chipotle Mobile Order, thanks to bp42s's fresh new mod!
• Feel a little too bloated with all that Chipotle? Then feel free to shrink your portion down with DegenerateDak's very own Shrink Ray!

Fallout: New Vegas: Anniversary Edition

• Hold on to your Power Armor, because in this year's release of Fallout New Vegas - Bethesda Edition, mod developer, TheElfBard introduces some fresh new factions into the Fallout universe, such as the noble Brotherhood of Steel, and even the dastardly Brotherhood of Steel!
• The best defence is an even better offence, and it seems that the aptly named Hitman agrees, with the fresh new Nuke on a Stick! Who ever said war had to change?
• Forget raytracing, what you really need are the new graphical enhancements from New Vegas Unloaded by WallSoGB.
• Reading through this month's megathread has got to be tiring. Rest your eyes with Immersive Blinking, brought to you by Stentorious

And that's it for this month's monthly mod spotlight. I hope you all enjoyed this (late) little post, and are excited to see what comes next in Fallout Mods!
