I don't even think this is the fast charging prank, I think she thought it was be a cool tiktok dance shot.

I think Spiderman is a decent example of not being comically ripped but I always believe he's as strong as he's depicted due to his powers.

A popular suggestion has been to implement the ability for communities across instances to 'subscribe' to eachother, which puts the networking of these communities in the hands of the moderators of that community.

I want that feature above all else.

It's a shame cities skylines 2 doesn't run on many PCs, or even that the first one became so DLC heavy because watching SimCity implode under EA's bullshit just for an amazing successor to take to the field was amazing.

I'm very excited for the successor to the Sims but I've been waiting for it a scarily long time without any major promising news.

I can't remember the specific site and it may not be up anymore. I either found it by googling "Reddit account value" or words to that effect, or stumbled across the link in Reddit.

I do remember it worked a bit like redditmetis.com as it knew the age of the account and karma, but also use of kind Vs obscene language. I was also a mod of subreddit that just made everyone mods for the heck of it

I think I already type like generative AI too, which may be worth something nowadays. Honestly setting up a bit that uses a large language model to pump vaguely relevant top level comments out soon after posts are posted will probably net you more karma in a month than a decade using it sincerely, although for this reason, I presume old accounts are particularly valued now.

Even before then, you'd always find comments in any larger section that were irrelevant praise posted by bots to generate a "realistic" Reddit account to sell later to marketing companies.

Hell I believe I once used a tool to value my Reddit account at like $200 and it literally told me how kind my responses were. Also to generate comment karma, responding to a post early is much more valuable than a good response.

I was weirdly forgiving of Fallout 76 (never played it, I'm not too hot for multiplayer games) because it was made so soon after fallout 4. It always felt like one of those DLC that got so large that it got released as a standalone game, which practically any large game studio has done and Bethesda did with Arcane's Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider.

A huge soft spot I have for the elder scrolls comes from the heroic fantasy exploration with enormous orchestral music and adventure in every direction, something people say about Starfield is that it's large and sparse, which is accurate for a grounded space game but goes against what makes half of Bethesda games fun. Fallout falls in the middle of the pack being far more pulpy than Starfield and in 4, I feel this was a large issue with it feeling bland; it's pulpy wackiness was toned down when it should have gone up.

I don't expect Bethesda to give me the video game equivalent of game of thrones but I do expect the Saturday morning cartoon that I'm equally fond of, and they still hold all the ingredients to make that recipe. Unfortunately Starfield was always tonally wrong for that, but ES6 is perfect for it.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still only buy ES6 a year or so after release, maybe 2-3 if it's really crap, but I think a fair few of the ways that they've deviated from the working formula post Skyrim may not be an issue here.

Because the quality of Disco Elysium comes from it feeling like a piece if art that stays with you, it is absolutely written by left leaning writers but it's mature and elegant in it's storytelling tbaf happens to revolve around those ideologies.

Call of duty is a for-profit propaganda tool of the US government that is rimarily a multiplayer arena shooter designed to optimise profits due to gaming addictions while passively normalising American world police imperialism.

Apologies for any typos I wrote this while drunk.

Yarr that be true matey.

I believe this is critiquing the quality of Reddit's idea of horror stories, hence the fact it's a screenshot from there. Although I'm sure the Reddit OP intended for it to be satire anyway.

I've been trying to get a LAN party together with some IRL friends for a little bit, but we all are so different in experience level that even playing vanilla, we'll inevitably have some people run rings around others.

My current pitch is that we all share one house and bolt different spaces of different styles onto the sides of it whenever we need a new space, share all resource except a small personal chest and the experienced players can only do specific tasks like going caving or into the nether if it's as a whole group, so the newer players get to experience some of those parts fresh.

I don't think I've ever met anyone outside of Lemmy where I feel their lives would be better if they used it. The only time I feel a want to yell about Lemmy is when people who are on Masterdon or the like blindly promote something on Reddit.

90% sure I read about someone doing this about a decade ago. It was the joke of my friend group for weeks after.

Maybe someone really big dropped it?

Jumped out? What happens to the plane?

Am I fucking bonkers or does the g not have a clear reflection on the lower half that totally breaks this take.

I'm pretty sure it just says 'boy one's, no idea how the e ended up like that.

That's a complicated place to be in and I wish you the best. Until I found my current partner, I'd fallen into a similar friendship / romance pattern with a few friends and it does suck to have both unrequited love and a friendship built off it.

You said you just want her to be happy and I believe you. You can still be a good friend to her despite those feelings do don't ever feel like that friendship is built on your love, even if that's how it started.

It's totally up to you how you progress, you could choose that distance between the two of you helps let that desire simmer until you meet someone else and wonder how you felt so strongly now, or you can make your love known and see where it takes you, which is whaf I'd recommend. If you do this, then both of you are able to take action about it and nothing is left disingenuous. Perhaps it's mutual and that's fantastic, but if it isn't it puts her in the same position as you, which is deciding how to navigate your friendship going forward knowing about this aspect of it.

The other option, which I absolutely would not recommend is continuing to hide these feelings and try to be a good friend regardless. A good friend is trustworthy and can give sincere advice on things like love and dating which is really difficult if you are romantically interested in the person who you give advice to. Even if you mean well and don't try to keep the person you want to be with from being with other, any time a potential person comes up, you will inevitably compare their worst traits to your best. Not just is this insincere, even if you can't tell in the moment, watching them have feelings for someone else will really hurt.

I think I've had strong romantic feelings for a close friend or best friend 4 times in my life. Once was in school and she never knew so whatever. One time it became obvious and basically ruined the friendship and caused both of us a lot of hurt and without a best friend. The most recent two times were a little different, I was between two friendgroups and sort of ended up in this situation in both. One is now my partner of 4 years and the other is my best friend who I no longer feel that way for. I do think that the final case here would have ended badly if not for the fact that I found the other person in that period.

I've done a lot of rambling here but you really should let them know, it's probably the most difficult of the choices to do but also no happiness can come from the other options.

Hey apologies if I sound like I'm greatly underestimating your maturity but it's probably better to act on the side of caution.

Flowers are lovely I really hope she likes them! I also have a best friend who I really want to be happy and would probably appreciate nice flowers, although I'd personally steer away from valentine's as I wouldn't want them to be interpreted romantically.

As for that, I trust you know if you want them to be interpreted as a romantic gesture and you should absolutely let her know they're from you and if they are or aren't.

If you want it to be mysterious if they're from you, absolutely expect her to either figure it out or assume they're from someone else secretly and show them gratitude, it's a rare person who would receive something anonymously and not try to presume the sender.

It is a really thoughtful gesture to get flowers for someone you care about today in the want for them to be happy, but it's not fun for anyone if it's misinterpreted and someone ends up less happy for it.

I doubt they'd drop someone like moleman for fantastic 4, it's more likely they'll throw a newer standalone hero or villain alongside the 4 to establish them easily, like Ironheart in Black Panther 2 or basically half of marvel in fantastic four comics through the 1960s.
