I’m painfully aware.

Ah very cool, thanks for this detailed explanation. So any given instance is not necessarily cut off from all other instances, depending on whether other admins block it or have their instance blocked. I actually quite like that. Thanks for that, cheers.

True, though it seems a lot of the complaints I’m seeing of most social media is due to the hands-off approaches of such overlords. If anything, it sounds like the people who Mastodon communities, while not ‘massive overlords’, do a bit more lording themselves.

Man, I’m genuinely digging the civilized dialogue on this thread.

Question, if Mastodon communities are user-run with user-administered regulation, doesn’t that mean that there’s nothing stopping someone from having something like a nazi-run community? And while I suppose that’s not illegal, the idea of that feels weird. But I guess the upside, is that the nobody who doesn’t want to…

Man, I struggle to imagine a world 10 years from now where I can’t own the games I buy, but rather I pay a monthly fee to stream them.

Oo interesting. I love the smell of musky books but hadn’t considered smelling games.

I was on the fence about the general concept of Artifact from the get-go, but now I know for sure that it’s not for me. I can deal with buying a game, if beyond that it doesn’t paywall me to get to other base content (or to remain competitive in PVP). I can understand a paywall for content if the base game is free. I…

That’s what a public collection or museum would be for, not your personal PC.

I live in California as well. In an upscale town in Los Angeles county. I’ve counted 3 gun shops on the main strip of my town. And I’m willing to bet there’s more around. Again, just because you don’t see people walking with holstered weapons, doesn’t mean they are not carrying concealed ones, with or without a…

But that doesn’t mean you should have the right to play it whenever and however you want.

Some states it’s actually pretty hard to get a gun. IL and MA make it hard, but unfortunately there are states nearby that make it easy, such as IN and ME.

I feel like you’re missing the underlying point, and you may be thinking this is a more straightforward issue than it actually is.

You mean EVERY state. As long as gun purchasing guns stay lax, it’s not hard to buy them from the next state over and bring ‘em in to an area where they are not.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t guilty of posting such messages, or that some of them didn’t make me chuckle. But your article brings up fair points, and while playing the series and indulging in this practice, I’ve probably been lacking some of the awareness that I normally carry with me in real life (or in…

As others have mentioned, this is from the same creator behind Tatami Galaxy. In fact, several characters from the show make cameos here, even though there is no continuity between the two.

As someone that’s been playing since the 3DS MH3 re-release, I have opinions on the matter.
