Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?

My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol

With games these days I just feel it’s a better deal. There’s stability patches, generally more content that’s added post-launch, and a sale price making it cheaper. I don’t understand buying games at launch when it’s not a primarily multiplayer game. Multiplayer makes sense since there’s the server population you have to consider. But Souls? Armored Core? Most RPGs? The multiplayer/coop is generally an afterthought, so I can wait until the deal ripens haha

Yeah, I was playing armored core back before From Soft got their recognition with the Souls series and so I’m really excited we’re getting this series back. But now, with all the lessons learned from the Souls series! I’m sure it will be great, it’s just I’m a patient gamer so will still likely wait until a sale 😂

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP

It’s my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

I’m so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We’re not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn’t try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

I’d be surprised if you hadn’t read it already, it’s Mort by Terry Pratchett. I’ve been meaning to start Discworld for ages but kept finding excuses and finally started my journey reading them in chronological release order. I really wish I started this series sooner. What an absolute delight it’s been!

I keep seeing you pop up in comment sections. I almost finished my book last night just a few chapters left and I promise I’ll post something to your instance to promote activity lol

It’s like a Midwestern US word for surprise or exclamation, commonly used in place of “whoops” or even “oh”. It’s also common in Canada from my understanding. Somebody from lemmy.ca feel free to correct me there.

Nope, I have cats and it’s still only one way. I’m sorry but we can’t be friends with that attitude.

Unimpactful trait? I’d say if they put the toilet paper the wrong way, if you have to ask which way is the right way we can’t be friends. Also if they don’t return the shopping cart, instant way for me to lose respect for you.

I consider cats unethical but the other animals get a pass.

Gotcha, I misread your intention, my bad. I agree it’s less than great but unfortunately anywhere there’s people those types will eventually find their way. As we found with the centralized platforms and are now finding in decentralized platforms too. I like it a lot more on the decentralized platforms though, since they’re all pretty much contained to those instances that we don’t federate with so I never have to see them. I’m a NIMBY towards TERFs, racial supremacists, and anybody remotely similar lol

They have a ton of lgbtq, socialist, poc empowerment, and environmentalist newsletters you can sub to as well. Not sure what your point is, if you don’t want the toxic newsletters don’t sub to them? That’s like trying to disparage Lemmy as a whole because exploding heads exists.

That’s what I’m finding too, a lot of them give you just a couple paragraphs and then demand a subscription to keep reading. I’m all for supporting creators but a lot of substacks are so aggressive with it.
