Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I’ve been checking to see if it’d go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I’m guessing it isn’t likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven’t wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs

Any reason MATE over Xcfe? Just curious if the performance is close or MATE is better at things, not trying to question your decisions. I have a >9 year old PC at this point and installed Cinnamon on it but was finding it a bit laggy. I tried out the other editions but am sticking with LMDE for now, but sort of feel like I don’t really need nice animations, I just need more CPU for faster compile times, haha

That’s very surprising to me as it’s a two year old game at this point. Looking it up, I guess there were three years between 1 and 2. Wonder if they’re working on a 3 at this point

This may come close to what OP is looking for as it includes reasons for the tags such as gore or spoiler

I can think of Forspoken and Deathloop

I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn’t quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.

I always think about the post I saw a while back that was like “I use KeepassXC, a fork of KeepassX, a port of Keepass”. That seems very likely to be true in regards to the fediverse as well.

But I think that’s great, as a contributor to one platform I don’t necessarily see it as “one software above all”, which might be bad to say, but more like we’re all sailing on the much larger ship Fediverse, and it’s been great to see so much back and forth between the different ones, for example one person helping get pixelfed’s avatars federating, or piefed’s blogs, which helped reduce page load sizes for mbin by 40%. It’s quite possible we’re all just slowly contributing to a lot of learned lessons for a yet unstarted software.

All that said, mastodon does have a ton of staying power, as you said. Once they fully support groups, and lemmy has stated they never plan to support microblogs, it’s quite possible that mastodon will be a very solid experience for most of what people are looking for.

Any clarification you can provide on what “this path” means? Edit: Just trying to double check anything would be covered by known issues/roadmap, but it’s fair to say there are a lot of issues.

In the end it’s mostly an agreement on how moderation actions should and are allowed to propagate for activity pub groups, which you can learn more about here https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md#group-moderation

The tl;dr is there’s a set way of saying these specific users are allowed to send actions such as delete on these specific posts, and software that implements groups (communities, to lemmy) ideally implement it in the same way. Of course, someone could always make a software that denies all remote moderation actions for instance, so it’s always up to those implementing the AP spec.

Lemmy has a large userbase, so generally probably gets to decide a lot of these things, such as how moderators are listed when getting information on communities, and other software will have to choose to follow along to be able to work with the large userbase or raise concerns/give feedback if needed

Visa systems were down one day for me when I needed gas, and I decided then to always have at least two different types just in case (it also helps with other issues as I tend of get chip malfunction errors and stuff)

The reference does seem to indicate teabags, but mentions it a lot along side carbonated drinks (it also mentions “milk tea”, but I’m not sure what it means by that)

Furthermore, there is evidence proving the contamination of MPs in teabags and it has been clarified that bottle-production and filling processes could contribute to the existence of MPs in drinks

I’m not sure what a good source is, but I do remember a while back articles about those pyramid teabags containing microplastics.

Edit: I guess to jump to the source of the reference of this article, this is the report on MPs in tea

What gets to me is the “Thanks in advance”. I might be alone in this, I asked a co-worker and she said it just seemed like normal dialogue, but I interpret that as “You don’t have a say in the matter, you will do this, your consent is not needed”. Granted, the people who say this to me are my boss or director, so they’re right, I don’t have a choice. But if I wanted to be reminded of reality, I wouldn’t play so many video games.
