The Level 157 kill screen. Level 29 was called a kill screen because it's nearly unplayable. But around 2019, it was becoming routine for matches to be decided in post-29 play. The level 29 killscreen was jokingly dubbed the thrillscreen. (don't worry. the name didn't last.)

NES Tetris is pretty nuts. Here is the 100 lines speedrun record for anyone who may care.

But the fact that you don't like them wasn't the opinion you posted. You didn't say even that they shouldn't be used. It seems you've convinced a lot of people of that they shouldn't be used. I'm clearly not an offender.

The phrase "only allow" is in the headline. That is indeed an unpopular opinion. You brought it up with lemmy devs. No one thought your solution was feasible. I didn't see anyone seriously not recognizing your annoyance.

So you asked the experts. They ignored you. So now you are trying to convince (yes, you are here to convince to some level.) the non-experts at Unpopular Opinion of the very fallacious reasoning that limiting a character at the API is the only way to deal with this.

Maybe I just am missing what opinion you are trying to state. But it seems like you want people to think that the devs should limit the character set because that is the only way you see to stop these distractions. I don't want people bothering the devs with this solution. It was thought out. I hope there is an implementation that fits your needs.

Right, I uploaded a gif to lemmy. That wasn't the question.

Is there a way to specify the geometry that is meant to be displayed?

Edit: Is a downvote taken to mean "I don't know"? Since they're anonymous, why bother? I know this isn't a support thread, but am I missing something? Was the "help" that it is a webm helpful? Are those inherently non-resizable? Why is it upscaling my ~200 px gif to what I am seeing? If this is a hard question, I can move to a support thread, but I was hoping someone knew off the dome.

Edit: why is it huge? can someone tell me how to post that smaller? i uploaded a 229 pixel tall gif.

Edit 2: The irony of accidentally posting something that can render obnoxiously large on this thread in particular is not lost on me.

What the fuck is a standard character? The world is too big for this kind of policing. I don't hang art on my wall, but I can't imagine wanting to BAN if I find it distracting if other people do it.

The words they write is in the language you want, but their identifier is distracting? I don't see the problem. Let Lemmy be fun. If you like plain font names, go by one. "Lemmy shouldn't allow... " arguments should have a lot more backing than what was expressed.

Edit: I will say that OP has convinced me that there is an in fact a problem with the implementation. Somehow in the very small post, there was no room to highlight the best example. There's a lot of scrolling to get the image posted in OP's comment

So is the unpopular opinion that there is a problem with that image? Because that kinda sounds like a popular opinion. Is the unpopular opinion that lemmy should only allow characters from a fixed set? This is where I think my mind would have to be changed. You have not convinced me this is the only solution.

I have a Brother laser printer. (I love it, but that's not important here.)

The firmware doesn't support duplexing A5 paper. I'm wondering if this is a good place to dip my toe into the world of open source driver development.

That was great. It was a lot like Ori and the Blind Forest, I thought.

I really liked the fog animation. It was such a simple effect but it was well done.

I'm going to assume that absolutely nothing was lost in translation, and those words were exactly what the creator wanted to say.

Ok. Fair point. I guess I should say, they addressed their cringe. But I still thought it seemed like they were feigning concerned but actually doubling down.

It's cool. I'm used to not actually getting the money I generated.

And they get $210k. I get penalized in this plan. But, I don't think they they could stop at 5 instances of "they're the real racist" either. This is the state printing money. This is so close to the corruption of biblical tax collectors, it's pretty striking.

(btw I know no court will up hold this. Not even in florida )

Not the pirates of pissants? Have they try singing to distract them?

This could work. I call a media figure racist. Five media outlets claim "Well, they're the real racist." Net $140,000.

I love response to the backlash. It's basically "Sorry our video was cringy and tonedeaf. We have removed the cringe."

Let's enjoy this period of lemmy's growth where we don't need Poe's Law. It might not last.

It's 8000 Ls in Roman numerals.

But this one is one better.

This lighter has a stem to keep the flame from your thumb, but it isn't obnoxiously long.

I'll note the Bic brand is not refillable. Look for a little port on the bottom. I've seen some at Ace hardware.

But your missing a step. You need a bill to make that illegal before you can support a bill for the government to seize it.

These are frozen Russian assests. There is an interloctary injunction on this money. That's why it is simpler to seize this money than to start seizing money from churches.

Edit: I'm sure as shit with you that we should start collecting money from churches, but this isn't that.

Haha, I didn't realize they were asking how loud it was. I thought they expected you type out the noises. I feel like Kel.

This is a nothing story. It's notable as a quirk.

This guy tried to sue Supreme Court justices to change a ruling. Every judge on the way up to the Supreme Court said, "no, that's not how law works."

He appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, as is his right. The non-named justices affirmed that "no, that's not how law works."
