Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

I’m pretty sure she still writes books.

Though she’s been writing some Netflix animated series lately.

I’ve been playing this ‘medieval’ mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn’t seem well tuned in parts.

I’ve also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn’t quite nail it overall. That’s almost more frustrating to be honest.

Your concerns are valid - Every time an instance goes under you’ll always have some people that will just leave entirely. Though you would have to have a lot of instances burned to see Lemmy as a whole basically stop happening.

As for long term, that’s difficult to predict, but you can say that about any site.

Me this morning, apparently

I think this will be the nature of the fediverse, with instances coming and going. I don’t think you can rely on volunteer labor and donations to keep things running indefinitely.

I also don’t think this is inherently a bad thing, just a quirk of the design.

I got about a dozen YouTubers and streamers that fit in this box.

It seems to be inevitable. They either stop posting or streaming, or they reveal themselves to be kind of messed up.

These are all solid additions.

I actually don’t know, I stole this meme from some bird people.

I will try to track the og poster down and ask them for the source, as I am now curious as well.

This is really improper horse riding technique. Its nearly essential to yell ‘yee haw’ when doing any sort of horseback loop.

I also didn’t hear any “Whoa there” but that one is highly situational so may not apply.

This is definitely one of the weirder missteps by From.

I’d like to know what the decision looked like internally, because I somewhat refuse to believe they just overlooked it.

This is going to become the new AAA normal, isn’t it.

That is partially what inspired me to post this. A lot of business advice I have gotten has been staggeringly bad.

I realize most people have worked at a business and should know a thing or two about how it works, but I don’t think many consider the huge differences between their workplace and how a small business operates.

Here’s a weird one:

Don’t offer advice unless its something you have some experience with.

Googling someone’s issues and giving them a boilerplate answer from the first thing you find isn’t helpful and can actually be a hinderance more than anything.

Yeah, probably.

Because of many factors, we’re seeing an erosion of the ‘third place’ which has been somewhat replaced or supplemented by the internet.

But now the internet is turning into a watchdog which desperately wants to monetize you, or direct you towards something that it can monetize.

Its hard to say while we’re in the middle of it, but I’m going to assume fifty years from now people will say we took privacy for granted and didn’t realize how influential algorithms really were.

I don’t know if it would ruin the entire movie per se but if you’ve heard Darth Vader (David Prowse’s voice) pre James Earl Jones dub, its definitely a character ruiner.

I can’t think of many movies where voice work is detrimental to everything except documentaries, but I know some games have annoying protagonists and it absolutely harms the whole experience.

You’re at +1 now for me.

Oh lmao nice

How many wishlists is that?

I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.

She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.

She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.

Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.

I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)
