Should Lemmy support karma requirements

No, absolutely not, they can fuck right off. I hate that shit on reddit and I’ll completely stop posting to any community/instance that implements it on the fediverse. It’s completely disheartening to new users for them to find out that they can only interact after they’ve made posts elsewhere. Then they go there and those people have that too.

Depends. The average person? No.

The cop who just found me dumpster diving trying to find something to eat for the first time in days who screamed at me so hard I started to have a panic attack? Yeah.

I’ve got well over a thousand hours in Hitman: WOA across PS5 and PC. I’ve put thousands and thousands across the entire series. I am also obsessed with James Bond and know far too much lore.

The level of hype I have for this game cannot be understated. Like… Deltarune type shit.

I am floored you didn’t make the 007: First Light post. I had to find out from a friend, like some sort of plebian

You shut the fuck up

Never played Fable 2 myself but I can do nothing but applaud the commitment at 316 days, utterly putting my bitch ass to shame. Love these posts <3 Keep 'em coming

I was taught that if you don’t have anything nice to say then you shouldn’t say it. That isn’t a lesson that I always follow, but it is one that I want to follow here. That’s more what I meant on the no, you don’t.

I have no constructive feedback that I can provide you at this time and I don’t want to be actively cruel. One of my criticisms is completely out of your hands because it is the questions being asked at this time. But other things… I have no idea or alternative I can provide for things I do not like. What I thought this was is also so very different from what it is that there’s no point in discussing that because it would be like trying to drive a Buick the next star system over, not the tool for the job. Due to this, I don’t want to just list things that I dislike and be discouraging.

But I wish you best of luck.

I don’t even understand what you’re trying to ask here

Now you have played, and assuming it was a live jury of 12 judging your question - whether it’s what shirt to wear, or whether to take a 6 month job in Antarctica (my nephew took a 2.5yr one!!) would you be less let down?

Yup. That’s what got me to click on it too. Really let down by what this actually is.

Ah yes. “Gameplay” and “Addictive”.

Would love to hear what you think

No, you don’t.

Well that was fucking awesome. I also cannot describe to you just how quickly I went from a relaxed position, legs up on an ottoman, to instantly sat upright and re-downloading BG3 on Steam.

Great game. Been playing it on and off for months.

God it is going to be kind of delightful watching America get what it deserves over the next few years.

So I’m actually interested in this but I do have a question before I am willing to invest love into this, the question explaining why I’m hesitant.

Every other major mod that I can think of that overhauls old work or bridges games always ends up being shut down. Usually because of pushback by the original developer or publisher, whether that just be threats or an actual cease and desist. So here’s the question.

What is the guarantee that this isn’t going to get shut down immediately too, or is this just entirely a gamble?

Delight your ears with a listen along on this deranged trip.

Friends, posters, lurkers… Lend me your upvotes. For lo, in a mere day, the doors of Lemmy shall be shuttered. Our memes cast into the abyss. Our shitposts left orphaned. Unsent. O wretched fate! O cruel, unfeeling cosmos! How shall we endure? Thirty minutes is no mere blip in the timeline of our bumbling digital existence. It is an ERA. An epoch of suffering! Civilizations rise and fall in such time! Legends are written, heroes are forged, and here I will sit, my hands trembling, no memes able to posted, no takes able to be unleashed, no silly little guys to upvote. What shall become of me? Shall I gaze into the empty abyss of my own thoughts? Speak to the people I live with?

No. That way lies madness. I shall be but a husk, a shattered remnant of who I once was, awaiting the sweet release of Lemmy’s return. And yet, even in my darkest hour, I take solace in one thing: at least I do not have to spend these thirty minutes on startrek.website, that lawless den of fools, where moderation is a myth, the admins are as competent as a warp core made of wet paper, and every discussion devolves into a petty slap fight between people who somehow all deserve to lose. If the fabric of reality must be torn asunder for thirty minutes, let it be here, and not in that cursed wasteland.

Hold fast, my fellow posters. We shall weather this storm. We shall endure this trial. And when the servers rise again, like Kahless reborn, I shall return to these lands with memes twice as cursed, takes twice as deranged, and an unbroken will! Stronger. Funnier. Hornier. Steel your hearts. Prepare to refresh your pages. Let not the darkness take you for the MEMES SHALL RISE AGAIN.

There must have been a wind shear or something as it was landing. Gust of wind comes in and just pushes the plane over on its side as its landing. Astounding that critical injuries only totaled 2.

Unlikely you’ll ever be in this situation but fun fact: Whales have enormous mouths but itty bitty throats. They can’t swallow anything larger than a grapefruit so unless it hauls in your infant? You’ll probably be fine if you stay calm. Just maybe a little traumatized.

You seem to be under the impression that I’m defending the idea of the US invading Canada.

No? I just missed a step in my text a bit. My point was that while the US military is strong and could outright invade Canada with tanks and planes and guns… that isn’t how the war would actually be fought. It would instantly turn to guerilla warfare as normal citizens started weaponizing themselves, crossing into the United States, and being able to carry out attacks on American infrastructure while looking and sounding the same as Americans.

Canada can’t prepare a ton more than it already has but America can’t prepare at all. The infrastructure in America is way too vulnerable and any war with Canada would mean a destruction of American infrastructure carried out by people wearing not uniforms but a smile.

That doesn’t matter at all when you’re actively attacking infrastructure and not people.

And are they just going to start shooting normal people at random? Canadians look exactly and sound exactly like America. The US Military is really good at wrecking a country but who cares when we can cross a border you can’t defend, mingle perfectly and start guerilla attacks against major infrastructure?

This war is not just tanks vs planes and ships vs submarines. This would end violently for America.
