It's rather odd you think discord is full of children... And that there aren't verification processes in place.

You're creating a problem with Discord that doesn't exist, or at least, not in any way that's unique to discord.

1- What does that have to do with anything?

2- Then make a private server for just your friends.

3- Then make a private server for just your friends.

And no, it wasn't better. Just... different.

Wouldn't limiting server sizes and getting rid of community searching be removing features? Why would anyone want that?

And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.

Yeah, I've been using Vesktop/Vencord all this time. Has more features than Discord with Nitro. No reason to really switch back to the official client.

Pretty sure if my mom died I'd be too traumatised to talk about it. The whole event already wasn't exactly a small deal, I'd have been permanently devastated if the worst happened.

Guess I'll have to wait till the game is a bit more cooked. Bummer. I hope they win this stupid lawsuit from Nintendo, because Palworld does have good potential.

Thanks for the answer. How are other elements in the game?

I wanted to get Palworld until I saw a friend play it near launch. I held off of buying it for these reasons:

• Bad pathfinding with enemies and allies getting stuck or easily confused by terrain objects.

• "Dumb"/static enemy AI behaviour, such as just standing and doing its basic attack animation.

• Character clipping issues with player structures.

• Occasional really weird physics issues.

Good they fixed the map falling issue, though.

Dunno. Maybe it's genuine curiosity. Maybe they're farming upvotes and believe that something dramatic like such a question will achieve that.

But to answer the question; almost. I came pretty close to murdering somebody. Not out of rage or anything, but out of desperation. A man was attacking my mother, choking her on her leather necklace. My sister grabbed the chopping axe. I grabbed the metal pipe, but then we just froze.

Is Palworld still a janky mess?

American far right has been winning a lot, which has given the European far right (a people that has been pretty silent since World War 2) the courage to step up themselves.

What's most distressing is that these far right people are swaying people who aren't far right.

Here are some:

• The average person is tech illiterate, so having them understand what a "federated platform" is, is too much to ask. It may be easy for you or me, but we're here on Lemmy, so that immediately makes us not the average.

• The average person also doesn't care what a federated platform is. They just want something that is convenient and works. Same as the above point; maybe we would be willing to sit down and figure things out, but others will consider that a waste of time and makes something bad.

• In that sense, federated platforms are a major failure, as picking instances and creating accounts is a hassle rather than a convenience.

• From personal experience, trying to find a Mastodon instance to make an account on was irritating. Some rules were too restrictive, some rules were too vague, other rules looked like they were created for sensitive little snowflakes. It was like reading through the rules of Discord servers. Not a good look for a social media platform.

• Something like Bluesky tries to be both; a platform without algorithms (or only user-created algorithms that you can choose to subscribe to), where you can make your own instance or just be part of its centralised instance. The fact that the overwhelming number of people choose the latter should tell you enough about what people want.

Any body-breaking heavy labour. Emphasis on body-breaking; there's nothing wrong with hard work, but there are certain people that believe hard work = leaving your body destroyed at 50.

Not a shut in, but I don't have any real local friends. I don't go out much because going anywhere costs money, and I don't have a lot of spare money, if at all, after rent and food. Living as a freelance artist with a day job just to get by really isn't a good recipe for finding friends who aren't in a Discord voice chat.

Short answer is; if you're unwilling or too broke to go out, you will not have friends, and you'll remain quite lonely.

Well... Then... Just don't follow those people. My personal feed is 100% artists and scientists. That's the fun part of Bluesky; unlike Twatter, you're not forced to see all the cringe and ragebait.

I'm European. But yes, do please tell me how I "misunderstood" things, and not simply made an observation about the sheer arrogance and hubris of the UK, as one of your neighbours.

Edit: whoops, wrong comment.

Huh, so their price dropped. Over here in Denmark they costed almost as much as a full price game at one point. Bought a couple as a Christmas present one time, which was many years ago.

I've bought cheaper toys with better quality. I'm not talking about their style or design, but more like areas of slightly misaligned printing, parts here and there where pigment/colour bleeds into each other, parts glued on with too much glue. They certainly are a quantity over quality product.

But there's so much LEGO there! D:

But screw the funko pops. Never saw the point of them. You can't do anything with it than put it somewhere, and they aren't made in a particularly high quality either.

Out-dated British imperial ideals. For some reason a sizable portion of the UK believes they're the most important country in the world because of... Legacy?

Except that legacy has made a lot of bad blood around the world, and the rest of Europe was kind of happy to see the UK go, because the UK always wanted an exceptional place in e edy decision and deal with the EU.
