When I first played Morrowind, I was quite surprised when people took offense to me robbing them of all they owned. Now when I play games I'm never sure if theft is a crime or not.
I tried this out on my mastodon account and it worked really well. Honestly, if browsing communities on Mastodon wasn't such a nightmare I wouldn't even need the Lemmy account.
I have a Lemmy and Mastodon account and decided to see how well linking a Toot to a Lemmy community would work. It was surprisingly smooth. Mastodon even provided some autocomplete for the community.
Edit: it did the title a little weird but everything else was fine.
I feel like the best way to handle the situation with similar/same communities on different instances is to allow communities to automatically federated with other communities. That way subscribing to one community will show you its posts and all the posts to its linked communities.
It would be especially helpful for these general purpose communities like Technology or News since I would imagine most communities are going to have one.
If that happens then we wouldn't need to hunt down and follow every single instance of the same community. Let the mods handle it on their end to save the rest of us the effort.
I felt the same. I had never played anything like it before. It took me awhile to figure out that hitting an enemy with a weapon required more than just having the sword pass through the enemy and that there were simulated dice throws happening behind the scenes.
Figuring out character sheets for the first time was also an adventure.
I'll never forget the news article about one woman who was married to an illegal immigrant, voted for Trump, and was shocked when her husband was deported.
I don't have a story like this regarding Steam but the game was Morrowind. I picked it up from a $10 bargain bin at Best Buy having never heard of the game before and the whole open world character sheet thing blew my mind. Prior to that I used to play first person shooters, racing games, and sports games but after playing that I switched to mostly playing RPGs.
As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the "Good Enough" seal of approval.
I agree. It's really annoying that now a bunch of incredibly helpful information has disappeared. This might hurt Reddit but it also hurts everyone else who might have benefited from it.
I have several Indian co-workers who are "vegetarian" but eat chicken which I have been told "is not meat".
Also, my mom worked for the church and a large number of people would call up every Lent to ask if chicken was meat..
I'm not sure where this idea that meat = beef comes from but it's very prevalent.
