It’s been really awful to see the level of usability and freedom to manipulate the site/content continuously go down as Wikia transformed into Fandom. RIP to pretty much all of the rigorously maintained communities that were originally under its umbrella. It’s even worse to see them gradually buy out and absorb…

I remember when there were so many independent wikis—UESPWiki for Elder Scrolls, Nukapedia for Fallout, Wowpedia for World of Warcraft, Memory Alpha for Star Trek, etc.—that either existed before Wikia or had forked themselves from it. And they shared one thing in common: they absolutely, unequivocally despised Wikia.…

Since I may not get the chance again soon I’d just like to say it really frustrates me how so many groups just up and quit on building their own sites and instead have turned to hosting everything on Fandom’s platform, because it really and truly sucks. Autoplaying videos are my biggest bugbear but the overwhelming…

Yes a celebrity who has been criticized for not understanding what life is like for poor people throwing a party around a show where rich people throw away BILLIONS of dollars for entertainment at the expense of those whose lives are so desperate that they would be willing to die for even a chance at receiving even a…

Were the seahorses left behind a symbol/metaphor? Just wondering.

I was in a similar boat. I spent a lot of time traveling to my ex’s island, and she sent me a lot of items on ACNH. When we broke up, I dealt with it by making a second account on the island with an avatar who looked nothing like me and didn’t have my name, and dumped all the items she gave me in the second…

My co-worker had to start a new island entirely because her character name was her ex’s nickname for her, and I assume you just flat-out can’t change your name in-game. But helping her put together some seed money for turnips, and hopping back and forth to whoever’s island has the better turnip prices for the week,…

I haven’t been to my island in a year also, though I didn’t share it w/ my current partner I have often thought of asking her to play. We play Destiny 2 all the time but the thought of breaking up and then having to separate our things in a game as well as real life is too much to bare thinking of. I’m finally going…

I’m currently where you were at with ACNH before. My ex left me in May and I’ve not had the desire nor need to revisit our island. I know all our villagers will ask me about them and I still can’t deal with that. It was their decision to buy the game in the first place and they poured a lot of their time into building…

They didn’t really lose them though. They fired them, because Vince and his Hivemind are greedy, petty, shortsighted assholes.

There’s things that can be done.

This is horrible, and also outrageous that something like his was permitted to go on during the pandemic. Everyone that survived should probably go into quarantine since Texas is our own little petri-dish of anti-vacc COVID deniers.

Your story brings back memories of me nearly suffocating in a crowd of people at the 2nd Warped Tour. Deftones came on and the strength of the surge was incredible. Plus, it was like 105 degrees out. Glad your daughter made it home safely. 

My 18yo daughter was at the TS show. When the surge happened she was terrified, and with the help of a friend was able to fight were way back out of the crowd. She was so upset/disturbed they left the show. Same thing happenedd to me in ‘89 at Monsters of Rock. Was about 80 feet from stage when Van Halen came on, and…

That’s really terrible to read. I always wondered what happened to him, I loved his work on Carnivale and Sin City. I hope he continues to do well in life, whether in movies or out of them.

A: A wild boar will fuck you up, chasing it is a really bad idea!

How does one process then react to seeing Shakira chasing a wild boar? I think that the situation was over before most people processed it.

Dangerous AND smart and able to adapt and learn, meaning that they become even more dangerous. Plus the adult males can withstand rifle fire to a point, which means you’ve got a smart, dangerous and now injured animal that will do it’s best to maul you to death.

Random strangers are supposed to risk being mauled to get her phone back, duh.  I mean, it's just their life and safety, but it's her _phone_!
