Vibes, probably. Admins might not have liked a username made of text followed by numbers. It’s the kind of stuff the folks running it scrutinize.

Blanket looka comfy. I hope it is the perfect combination of weight and insulation.

We allow it if they’re cut into really teeny tiny pieces.

The Bay of Pigs, the attempted invasion of Cuba, always seems to get omitted when the Cuban Missile Crisis is brought up.

With Cuba, in just about every case, the United States has acted as both the provocateur and the aggressor. Unless you want to go all the way back to Batista, whose ousting is the primary reason for this stance against Cuba.

Also the United States operates a military base and prison in Cuba already.

Xcom and Morrowind have high degrees of dicerolling in the gameplay. Progression has a lot to do with controlling or improving your odds. You can have a whole lot of different outcomes based on adapting to each roll.

Souls games usually lack that level of randomness, at least in the calculations phase of gameplay. That’s how you see speedrunners standing still and circling around all these explosions and attacks without repercussions, etc. You either know the steps or you don’t.

Stalker games are a bit different in that they’re FPS games. I think when you can stealth headshot snipe something, the whole dynamic changes. (Which probably also flows into Elder Scrolls a fair bit.)

the Souls games are both Western RPGs

From Software and Hidetaka Miyazaki might disagree.

Old Boy. The 2003 Korean one, at least.

Wandering into spaces just to throw hands is usually the basis for most people getting banned or their comments deleted. The content of their commentary is usually notwithstanding at that point.

Hey, they’re just an r-word and Scandinavia enjoyer, with some light bannings attributed to transphobia and nazism. That’s not at all relevant when they’re out here in the wild trying to forge up some horseshoe theory!

For some people, Mr. Goebbels and Ms. Luxemburg really are indistinguishable.

You’ll scare the racist imperialists with that kind of density. One image of Country Joe waggling his fingers is enough as it is!

Well, you could play it out a bit from there.

If we tie it back to love of China and Uyghurs we could go with “If there’s a Uyghur genocide in China, then there’s also a Black genocide in America!”

Or maybe “How do you pose a country should respond to violent separatism and terrorist attacks?”

But then it all just pivots into Ukraine and Russia. First to accuse the other of serving Putin wins. (Or loses?)

Which then provokes a call to separate genocides into ones using bombs and bullets and ones that aren’t.

Which then circles on back to Palestine and Israel.

For true ouroubos debatelording.

So reporting 2 rule-breaking comments is spam?

I dunno. Usually depends on the reports and how deeply they participated into a 50+ comment chain of 'no u, sweetie’s for them.

What makes a report spam?

Typically when singular goes plural.

the vague reason “report spam”,

I mean, that’s a simple reason, not a vague one.

Were you on Hard Light Productions back in the day, by the way?

he also deleted the post on Unruffled and AI. He is simply distancing himself.

*edit looks like the other thread that was nuked was on lemmy.world

Hey it looks like another round is starting, so it’s anyone’s guess!

Given how ubiquitous Pepe is as a template for emotes in places like Twitch, I argue that Pepe was taken back by the gamers as a mascot.

Now, because gamers are gamers I also don’t fault anyone having reactive doubts about usage of Pepe. But I don’t think those doubts are license to action without some burden of proof.

Posting frogs itself means nothing. The content of the frogs means everything, including dogwhistles. He’s not a dogwhistle himself anymore, just with exceptions to that rule, like the specific groyper one.

He has been granted the title of having reasonable innocent use, but he has not been extended the rank of not having problematic associations.

Under the radar, yet close to the sun.

This thread demonstrates that it is at least more normal to respond to this request by questioning how ableist ‘stupid’ is, compared to going “Okay, transphobe.”
