:/ 😕
people will already ignore half the questions you ask in an e-mail even if you make them into bullet points
in my eyes they're very different :D i don't like pink, but hot pink is neat when used as an accent colour
thank you thank you
yellow blue green cyan teal lime orange red purple pink hot pink mustard white black
i forgot to count but should be enough! but also i'm cheating since i'm an artist
not fan of the Jesus fandom (most of them at least) but Jesus was a pretty epic character when you actually read that book about him. indeed responding to hate and violence with kindness instead of retribution is important in stopping the cycle of violence, though i must note - he did die in that story, and none of us are currently divine children walking the earth knowing what comes after, sometimes stopping the cycle is impossible if you want to survive.
i will always accept with an open heart the people who were once bigots and changed, or those who are having doubts about their bigoted beliefs - both mean they've learnt and grown, and their past mistakes shouldn't define their whole life
i can name 3 atheles, and i'm not even sure of the 3rd one
i could probably do colours
i know it's a joke but
A: ask a professional first.
still unsure?
- smell it, if it smells alright, proceed
- cut off a little piece, put it in your elbow and wait at least 8h
- if all is good, take another little piece, cook it and touch your lips with it, wait a few minutes, put it on your tongue, again wait a few minutes
- if all is good, take another little piece, chew it, wait a few minutes
- if all is good, eat that little piece, and wait at least 8h
- if all is good, eat a bigger piece, wait at least 8h
- if all is good it's probably safe, well, it's not outright poisonous, but if it has any long term effects or only a certain amount gives bad effects then oh boy (like for example psybiocyn might not be very apparent if you only eat a little bit, chomp down an entire shroom though? hope you cooked it well or you're going to be in for an impromptu trip that usually lasts ~6-8h)
if at any step you noticed a bad thing happening - don't eat it
this is a general guide and i'm not a professional so like, don't blame the internet stranger if something goes wrong.
oh also - it doesn't work for the destroying angel, you have to memorise how that mf looks exactly and avoid it like hell - because if you eat as much as half a cap that's where it'll send you, hell, by melting your organs. there is no antidote and the symptoms can start as late as 24h after digestion. the only way we figured out how to keep those who ate it alive is heavy treatments, filtering their blood (liver and kidneys go first), and transplants. whenever i remember the destroying angel exists, i thank whatever god there may be that i just do not like mushrooms in general
a few days ago i saw how r/redditalternatives has only "lemmy bad!" posts and i know for a fact folks here have been spreading the word about lemmy in a positive way so don't blame yourself, reddit has been actively censoring any good thing said about lemmy or the fediverse in general
i looked marginally deeper into this and it's apparently all the way to shadow bans :) link
there's probably a way to monetise everything but with the numbers of Linux people (yes we know you use arch shush) and anti-capitalists, i think we're safe?
the conversations are naturalistic storytelling that doesn't just spell out information to you
linguistics and translation are not the premise of the game. the premise is piecing together the timeline of events, and eventually solving the mystery of the game, through reading those "boring" conversations
it takes roughly 15s to get off the planet after the first loop, bro :u and the thing you look at every time you wake up is crucial to solving the mystery
you can just say the game isn't for you, or that you tried playing it and it didn't align with your expectations. instead of making yourself out to look like you're impatient to the point where 15s bores you, and unable to focus to the point of saying that reading is boring because you get to access new information without having a mini-game jiggle keys in front of your face before every piece of text.
i apologise for getting rude at the end here, but man, you're insulting my favourite game based on your misinterpretation of what it's trying to do, just say you don't get it
the exploration at a certain point should stop feeling random :0
have you not wondered about the things you've discovered? have you not thought about figuring out the "why" of things?
well, i'd encourage you to give it a bit more time, it's so incredibly worth it
but if it simply doesn't click with you after you've put several hours into it - as heartbroken aa saying it makes me feel - it's possible the game just isn't for you
have you tried playing it for at least ~2h-4h? for some (myself included) it can take time to get the ball rolling & for the game to truly click
eh not quite, a paid beta tester is hired to create standardised, and well written bug reports. when someone buys an early access game it's the same as a game foundriser with a donation tier that gives them access to beta versions, you're not required (and barely even expected) to provide well written bug reports. quite frankly i think it'd be an infuriating experience if a dev decided to relay on their early access players' "bug reports" for their beta testing, since most of those are just a screenshot of their game with words "found bug fix please", what did they do to get that bug? they don't remember. what's their specs? they say windows10. what version of game were they running? they say they took the screenshot 10 minutes ago (have they updated the game? maybe, maybe not)
me with Outer Wilds but also i say nothing about the actual game and just keep trying to get them to play with vague ass "it's a lighting in a bottle once in a generation gaming experience c'mon guys try it, i can't say more, i don't want to lessen your sense of wonder and awe as you explore, the only thing i can say is that it's about space and it's a mystery game, sort of, let me look up some equally vague reviews, i can also play you some ending reactions from the 30 different playthroughs i watched, but only the ones that, you guess it, are vague enough"
it's a double edged sword really,
it allows some games to get enough funding to be finished. indi devs can basically start with a strong demo & then work on their project with an actual budget
and it allows other games to never be finished and still sold, indi devs can start strong, and then give up, and still make passive income out of people who don't scroll down to reviews to check if people aren't complaining about the game being abandoned, or in forever-early-acess-hell
you can technically unteach your autocorrect a word but you do have to catch it trying to "correct" it and longtap the culprit, which can be tricky when it only happens sometimes and you have a habit of typing fast
my phone occasionally decided to "correct" "that" to "thar", it is deeply annoying
then it comes down to a framerate drop and bullshit (and if you're playing a non-you character, you can also blame them personally eg. "Link what the fuck are you doing?")
it's only that high because 2020 is when search engines became visibly enshittified even to normies and people started specifically looking for human written things
