"I truly do not care if ConcernedApe speaks on pronouns in the game any more,” one user said. “I want [him] to condemn the transphobia and violence against the trans members of the community.”
How in the hell is this his responsibility? We have to prove our allegiances now? If I ever become a game dev I’m keeping my head down.

One thing I always liked about The Sims was it being a satire on life. Especially the first one. I don’t think this game is interested in going that direction… Everything is very Korean. Spotless and clean and sterile.
I originally justified the cost of Premium by changing from paying for Spotify, which kept letting me down with playlist limitations–a playlist of 500+ songs would actually only shuffle about 60. YouTube Music also has issues with prioritizing an artist’s popular songs, but is much better overall.
I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn’t feel like you were just being presented for “dateable” you were if you didn’t want to be.
I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.
One of the few subs I actually miss.
This is the only take that actually matters. If Ukraine responded to Russia by bombing villages and shooting civilians, they would not have such near-worldwide support. If Israel wants to truly be better than “savages” then they need to act like it.
/bonehurtingjuice exists on here, but it’s like 1 post a month instead of an endless stream of stupid bullshit humor that hits just right.
I also miss being on a platform that has the community for whatever game I might be playing at the moment, from popular ones to niche-as-fuck. Even CDDA’s subreddit is still more active on reddit than Lemmy.
I refuse to touch anything related to Facebook. I’m shocked that people would use Threads or Instagram for that matter.
I was bitter about RiF but it didn’t really sink in that I was not returning until I realized it was all just in bad faith. No point in going back somewhere that doesn’t respect third-party apps or its own users. All the developments since then have made that very clear.
This sentiment in the current climate is stupid, but I do think the concept is inevitable. We didn’t always have phones on us 24/7, phones are already somewhat powered by AI. So what will everyone having their own AI look like in a way that doesn’t just sound like a chatGPT joke? What would make it a desirable future?
It’s a bit disappointing that most of the communities for specific content are so inactive on here, but I still prefer it to the types of banal, waste-of-time, repetitive content and comments that plague reddit and have caused my eyes to roll in a tailspin.
Do I really have to choose one or the other, though?
Whenever I used to go out anywhere or do anything social, I’d always be constantly, quietly hoping that someone would come along and fall into my life. That I’d pass by someone that looked like they could relate to me, or that would try to talk to me, or be attracted to me. Anyone that would change my life for the better. It was lonely as fuck to constantly want something unrealistic every single day that never happened, for years and years.
Then I met my future wife, and I nearly forgot that pain ever existed.
It is not a creator’s responsibility to handle shitheads on a completely unrelated website. That’s absurd.
