The British government is transferring sovereignty of an island in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius next week, potentially impacting the existence of the .io domain.

    • What's your typical "stand-by" mode for your computer when you're not using it?

    Jump

  • Holy shit people. It takes 20 seconds to boot up a computer. Turn your shit off. Save yourself money and save the fucking environment.

    • In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?

    Jump

  • Yep. Deeply, deeply unsettling.

    Jump

  • Genital Jousting. Its a perfectly fitting name for what the game is. But its deeply unsettling.

    • creating a memorable experience

    Jump

  • I genuinely can't fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes

    • Which is worse, getting rejected by your crush or seeing your crush with someone else?

    Jump

  • I'm polyamorous so my crush would probably be polyamorous as well, so the second situation doesn't really matter. But being rejected just means you know they don't see you that way and you can move on, so it's not that bad anyway. It can be unpleasant in the moment but its part of the human experience

  • The fediverse do be shenaniganing

  • Beehaw at least is only a quarter of the monthly active users compared to hexbear, that hardly makes it a "micro" instance if they're on the same order of magnitude. But I digress.

    No shade to what hexbear is achieving and I'm very glad to hear that they are championing trans acceptance and not tolerating transphobia. Great work!

    Unrelated, I didn't get a notification for your reply, at all, how peculiar. I only saw it because I happened to revisit the post.

    • Transphobia in the fediverse

    Jump

  • I'd say "and it isn't close" is a bit disingenuous when instances like beehaw and blahaj exist.

    • Transphobia in the fediverse

    Jump

  • Calling out transphobia is division? Just curious what part of the lgbtqia2s+ community are you?

    • Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated

    Jump

  • I thiiiink they're modding the game but still playing on official hardware, so they might be in the clear for now (until Nintendo goes further)

    • I bet God agrees.

  • James Acaster earned my eternal respect with that whole bit

  • Started my full dose of girl pills this week so I'm on that hormonal transitionary period and shit is wild

    • What's the trick to Menopause?

    Jump

  • Definitely seek professional support for your own feelings.

    In the meantime however, are you doing what you can to support her through this? She's, understandably, totally at capacity right now just trying to survive her own shit. Its possible that if you're able to ease her burden, she might have enough mental capacity to recognise you and spend some of her mental energy on you. Or, worst case, she just suffers less.

    • What are the scariest games you've played?

    Jump

  • Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice had such a vivid portrayal of auditory and visual hallucinations and the psychological aspects thereof, as well as being rooted in genuinely spooky themes. Playing it in the dark with headphones was a truly psychologically scary experience and it didn't really rely on jumpscares for the scary factor. ( which to me is a huge plus )

    • What are some words you swear people use to try and sound smart?

    Jump

  • Maybe a slight tangent, but it drives me insane when I see/hear people do the following in scripted or written content.

    The normal, very casual sentence structure could be "Chocolate cake, which I am quite partial to..." but they will flip it around, which is usually fine, but they do it in a way that doesn't make sense with the words used. They'll do something like "Chocolate cake, of which I am quite partial to". (Where the correct rearrangement would be "to which I am quite partial")

    I know its nitpicky because I can still perfectly understand their meaning, but it feels like people do it because they want to sound smarter. And that's fine! I just wish they'd go that tiny step further and learn how to properly use that method of sentence rearrangement! Drives me nuts.

    That is all.
