That’s why I love the MH series - plenty of value, even just solo’ing it. I’m still trying to finish up World, doing everything I want to do. Unfortunately I have to put a lot of time into these games to “git gud” lol. And of course at the same time, real life responsibilities calls. xD Not quite ready to move on just yet!
Very wholesome movies. I recently vacationed in Peru and had a lovely time. Count me in for Paddington 3!
Wow good on Thailand! I’m shocked not sooner considering all the lady-boy stuff going on lol. Think they’d be down for that kinda stuff.
Late autumn sounds perfect actually and it coincides with my birthday. I enjoy the immersion so I’d go for at least a month, hopefully longer if my job can allow it. :D
Oof, 41°C / 106°F with 80+ humidity is brutal. I can just imagine little to no winds and that air just sitting. I plan on visiting Japan someday but am definitely avoiding going during the peak summer months.
I haven’t played Rise, but the Monster Hunter series is pretty grindy in general
I see them more often in the SF bay area. They look clunky and ridiculous, plus they draw so much attention (when you should probably being trying to avoid attention).
Anecdotal, but I think there’s some kind of immunity component. My parents grew up in a mosquito infested country. When we visited said country, us kids were bitten up while my parents were fine. If it was genetics, you think it would’ve been passed on to us. The locals commonly joked that mosquitos like “new blood.” You could see tourists with itchy red bite reactions while the locals were fine.
Damn that might be mine too. We didn’t get to have video games when I was little lol. Then I discovered PC gaming via Runescape😂
Tildes is a good example of a healthy community that allows for differences while encouraging good faith discussion. They police for tone instead of wrongness and it’s been working out over there. People are generally happy with the discourse.
A lot of it is in site design, too. There aren’t downvotes, because they’re not needed. There’s a lot of proactive moderation coming from the community by using comment labels. Labels help push comments up or down, and some require you to type a reason why, which encourages thoughtfulness instead of knee-jerk hivemind reaction and pile on. The only publicly visible label is the “good” one, so it keeps things positive. The “bad” label alerts mods and has a cooldown time limit, so it’s less likely to be abused. I believe once it’s used on a comment, the person can no longer reply to it, which helps avoid negative back and forths.

Too much growth too fast for sure! Much harder for Lemmy to create its own culture and maintain it. Much harder to discourage toxicity. Notice how healthy communities are often smaller.
Sucks for niche communities but they’ll get slowly spun up over time, and in the meantime they can be found in other places including Reddit. I don’t personally need everything to be a one-stop shop.
Do yourself a favor and pick it up! Skyrim is a cultural phenomenon. xD
It’s so hot, I know a guy who’s moving out. It’s like an oven out there.
Nice pic! I try to take pics of spiders (for my iNaturalist), but they’re so dang tiny and it always comes out blurry. xD
I cringe when balloons pop so admittedly this was a bit uncomfortable to watch haha
Sale goes for iOS and Android too
Paddington’s going home!
It’s bad. I remember reading how scientists are rushing to preserve coral samples now and hopefully regrow them at a later time.
Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it’s weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
