Right? Both the Israeli and Qatari governments suck ass

I want to play that so bad right now. The cat like movement with wall-climb, plus the alien vision is easily one of my top 5 unique gaming experiences.

Xitting, pronounced "shitting"

Right? It's just that good!

I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I'm playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.

I'm not in for the giveaway, I'm just supporting the random select suggestion since you mentioned the inherent problem with upvotes.

You can use something to randomly match users with a game. Maybe you can devise a way to use a random sample generator used to group people for randomized studies.

Yeah, of course. It was a tongue in cheek comment that didn't land well.

If the adoption rate continues and quality of life improvements such as efficient mobile apps keep getting made, I think it's inevitable. But I also think it can be a good thing, especially if the distributed instance culture with semi-independent communities persist. If the culture shifts so much to instances just being nodes into the larger "verse" so to speak, the general experience could shift a lot with it.

In any case, with all the different user experiences available already with Mastodon, kbin, lemmy, Calckey, Pixelfed and Peertube offering vastly different experiences into the same ecosystem, it'll be a lot more diverse I believe as everyone will find their own comfort zone.

As well as higher average IQ, it feels like.

Agreed.

With the submarine story, it's like a film scenario. Every detail is something unusual, and not tragic in itself. Well, depends on who you ask. There are many people who think billionaires existing is a very real tragedy, and rightly so, but I digress.

With billionaires in a comic-book-supervillain submarine lost on their way to see the Titanic wreck, you can laugh at the $30 controller, or wonder where their brains were, or if anybody looked at their financials because this also would work as a movie scenario where 4 billionaires pay someone to disappear them because they didn't pay taxes or something.

Refugee boat sinking is actual tragedy, with the added bonus of the entire western world having some level of guilt in creating. When the average, empathy having person hears about it, they feel complex emotions from sadness to guilty conscience for casually hearing about it from the comfort of their couch... It's difficult to deal with.

Are we sure? Did the shoes come off?
