I mean, I know why I haven’t yet in spite of also having played the game since beta.

… It’s because I’m lazy and hate grinding for materials.

True Pacifist Undertale just the other day. Which, to be fair, took me something like two years to get around to doing because I was way too lazy to deal with some of the ending fights of Neutral route.

Now I have the itch to go back and play EarthBound again… Which may be related to the lo-fi Mother 2 mix that got posted earlier today over in the Music community.

Two trips to the store—
Because I forgot TP—
Under a warm sun.

I’m still tickled hours later at how eager folks were to figure that out. :D

I am pleased for my role in performing science today. :D

You mean the same Luke Skywalker who threw his lightsaber away while confronting the most powerful men in the galaxy on board their planet-killing superweapon? And also tried to talk down the ruthless crime lord who had both his sister and her boyfriend as hostages? :P

All the satisfaction of downvoting someone for being wrong, but none of the knock-on social effects, eh?

That’s what seems to be the case. So, it’s looking like it’s basically a placebo button for y’all. :P

I’m seeing a 1 on my end, so either things are lagging out for different users and I’m about to see a massive chunk hit…

Or it’s all localized. :P

I’m still seeing a 1 here. So, I think the downvote is literally just a placebo for you. :P

I mean, does it seem to change the vote numbers when you do it? Like, try downvoting my reply and we’ll see if it results in us both seeing a 0. :P

I think you’re underestimating Picard. Like, not only was the man a wild punk in his youth before Starfleet straightened him out, but it’s shown throughout the series that he’s more than capable of bluffing opponents with access to things like literal time travel.

If nothing else, if he fights Luke, he’s not going to fight on Luke’s terms if he can help it.

Depends on the bot and its target subs. Some subreddits are set up to restrict posting below a certain karma line, so bots aimed at those will do stuff like posting to their own profile—to get around, say, a moderation tool that’ll auto-ban accounts that post in “free karma subreddits”—to build up the needed karma to post wherever. Those are the ones I assume @Kay_Angel is thinking of

But, a bot that’s aimed at a less restrictive community wouldn’t need to jump through the hoops so would work a lot more directly.

Local, sorted by new, then swapping to Subscribed if I wanna see if there’s any movement in the non-Beehaw communities I’ve linked up with. Thankfully, I’m trying to wean myself off the “Ooo! New thing!” rush that social media’s trapped me in for years and this is a good way to step down instead of trying to go cold turkey.

Just to add to what bird said, she’s basically spent the last decade developing her own voice as an artist, and Let her Burn shows it. Her older EPs also have some good stuff on it—“Girlfriend” gets stuck in my head regularly, for instance—and hopefully she’s seen enough success from this album to keep going with it.

Don’t let decade-old memes define you! Seriously, Rebecca’s basically spent the last decade figuring herself out as an artist and pretty much everything she’s done in the last, like, five years is solid. Still definitely in the pop family, so if that’s not your bag I get it, but at least consider giving her a shot.

After all, would you want to be defined by the things you did when you were 13? :P

I wanna say I’m gonna be fiddling with TotK or a replay of Oblivion…

But I’m probably gonna wind up just playing 20 Minutes 'til Dawn all weekend trying to beat max darkness with the new weapons that released two days ago. 😅

… Do I still get to claim I’m merely “fandom adjacent” if I’ve crafted several 'sonas and have actively played as them in various media? Asking for a friend. :P
