Probably because nobody was using it.

307 users over the last month is barely worth keeping the server running when mastodon.social is getting 249 thousand.

If this carries on, we’ll have exploding semaphore flags by the end of the week.

Both?

I mean I’m no fan of Israel, but Hezbollah ain’t exactly the Red Cross.

I could never get on with the weird shaped triggers.

I suspect the suburb issue is one of car centric US suburbs where you can’t even get out of it without a car, rather than somewhere like the UK, where I effectively live in what is now a suburb of a larger city (if I drove there, it’s about ten miles, through an entirely built up area), but that “suburb” is also a town that’s been here since medieval times with it’s own shops and workplaces and facilities.

Seems to me the issue is less about low density suburbs, and more about the fact that there’s nothing there apart from rows and rows of identikit housing.

We really do not value quiet enough.

And the people here who’s idea of a utopia is all of us living in Mega City One are the worst of them.

I used to play WoW with a guy in London, and literally every time he opened his mic to speak, it was a cacophony of sirens and cars and helicopters. I don’t know how people in cities can even here themselves think. Like, great, you can order from 20 different Chinese takeaways but at what cost?

That’s why we use Radar, etc, so we don’t have to use those sites.

If you do visit them, make sure you’re ad-blockered up the wazoo.

I only stuck with Odyssey for the legendary monster fights.

The problem with these games is you see 95% of the gameplay in the first couple of hours.

And then there’s 100 more of them.

I really like Black Flag because it had the least amount of Assassins Creed gameplay in it.

That option was a lifesaver. I don’t know why the game decides halfway through to have hard combat because that’s not the appeal of the game at all.

It was made for British TV in the late 80s maybe.

It wasn’t going to be done on 35mm with movie making kit. What you see there is probably the best it’s going to be.

Since it underpins Android, you could argue it’s the most successful OS in general.

Will they collect data on you to profile you and your activities and use that in the future? Yes.

And that’s why the only thing I use my VPN for is piracy. Don’t really have a good reason to push anything else through it.

In fairness I doubt the NSA give a single solitary fuck about piracy and aren’t about to give themselves up over a telesync rip of Beetlejuice 2.

But probably best to plan 9/11 part 2 over something a bit more secure.

Sorry, best we can do is still be in early access and already trying to sell the DLC.

They’re speakers, they’re supposed to be loud.

I started using subtitles years ago, and now I can barely hear without them.

Same thing they do with everything else. Glorify it and double down.

SUVs for toddlers. Wear a car pin whenever an accident happens nearby.

Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were pretty cool. I played both with the stylus because the DS control pad is tiny as fuck, literally painful to use for more than a few minutes.

Same with the Layton games.

That would just be men’s sports, which in fairness is all most people seem to care about anyway…

Looking at the domain name, they’re in Mali. Things must be cheap out there.

Gremlins 2. Not sure any other movie quote captures the absolute cocaine fuelled Hollywood of the early 90s.

There’s also a terrible John Leguizamo movie called The Pest, that I’m genuinely amazed didn’t end his career right there. The wife was suprised I hadn’t seen it, and as we started she just went “you’re going to hate it”.

She was not wrong.
