im frend :(

POV: When you're the socially awkward kid in school during the mid/late-2010s and you don't have a smartphone to be in group chats, so nobody wanna talk to you since they view you as "the loser who doesn't even have a phone"

Pfft, whatever. I was the loser outcast looooong before all this bullshit connectivity.

Tolga is not good people.

How it feels to participate in conversation on niche lemmy instances.

You just had to make it difficult, didn't you
Sorry, this instance is friends only
You mean you don't masturbate for hours, carefully edging before the latest Linux drop?

Go play DRG instead

im enemy >:)

You have made an enemy for life!

This never gets old
That poor sweet kid
- he has no vaccination?

Five messages, and each one of them has some kind of spelling error

And they...enhance it? I'm an Oxford comma-loving pedant, that can't be right?
- Yes. To be clear, I’m not complaining. It’s what elevates this to high art.
- It's L337speak. Internet-centric abbreviations used to communicate fast and effectively.
Happy cake day, frend!
One message and has spelling error.

I don't mind joining random games, but this type of shit happens way too often. Frickin lock your game lobby if you're not interested in playing with random people...

iirc deep rock galactic specifically lets you kick people with the message "oops, this was meant to be a private lobby", which is quite funny
- For how easy kicking is in DRG i found it to be used extremely rarely. One of the most chill game communities imo.
After quite a break from HD2 I've returned to try a game vs Illuminati. I've always played private lobby, but this time settings were reset and I forgot to check this specific one. Ended up in a game with random people which wasn't my plan.
In some games, they’re public by default then you should make them private. I’m thinking of Dying Light for example
- After an update and having been a while since I played it, I was running a nice solo session of 7 Days To Die offline on my machine and get some wierd message.
  Turned out the thing wasn't offline and, worse, it defaults to online public server with no password no nothing, and somebody had joined my session and blew up my base when I was away from it. They kept trying to chat to me afterwards - can only guess they wanted to gloat, and didn't see the point of enhancing their experience by giving them them that - but I just stopped the game, searched around, found that the thing had defaulted to online public and switched it off.
  Handled the whole thing like as if it was some kind of random challenge the game had thrown my way so I had to rebuilt my base (one of the core game mechanics is that every 7 ways the game throws a massive monster attack at you) just in time for the next attack, which I succeeded in doing, so ultimatelly I turned that person's attempt at griefing into more fun for me, though in the few minutes in my game they destroyed hours of me building the original base.
  Anyways, wtf stupid decision from the gamedevs was that to silently default a game which is just fine solo offline, to public online. Have those people never played anything online and have no concept of griefing?!

I remember seeing this a while back, so many people swooped in and added dremskiy as a friend to play matches with him.

Nice, his friend's list is full.

Holy amount of ads on that page. More than actual content. Yeah, I was lazy to install adblocker on my phone browser. Until this moment.
- Uh, glad I could help?
  I run adblockers on all my devices as well as a Pi-Hole.
  On my end the site looks clean. Cannot function these days without some form of blocker.
Why are friend list size limits a thing? Except for UI, it shouldn’t be a problem. And a simple search feature fixes the problem
- Maybe to limit account theft. One account with 10,000 friends gets compromised and thats 10,000 people who can get phished, each if whom might have thousands of friends
- Cap the storage space required.
- I wonder if there is an explanation on their site or something.
- I imagine so they can always have the decision to make you pay for a expanded friends list later
I wonder if Tolga is in the friends list too now.
- Fuck Tolga and his "only following orders" bullshit. Tolga made a choice. We all make a choice.

Helldivers 2 Community is awesome.

Sadly a lot of artists only have a Instagram account, which makes it impossible to view their art on a mobile browser/without having an account
- I fucking hate those sites. As far as I'm concerned if you can't even browse without making an account, it shouldn't show up in search engines.
- this is why I exclusively post my art on other peoples refrigerators
- And let's not forget that Meta used their apps to track you in mobile browsers. Even having their apps installed for rare use is a terrible idea.
- Yup. I use a privacy frontend to view specific accounts: https://imginn.com/dremskiyy/
- Bummer ya
  Privacy frontend sounds great, thought they were all offline
  Also can seek a user skri pt 🤫

He brought an antipasto salad and everything too 💔

seems like this was the perfect opportunity to make a new friend <3

How can I add you as a friend on Lemmy? Im frend.
- dont know if there is that kind of social system on lemmy, but feel free to message me - i could go for a chat : D
