I vaguely remember playing and enjoying this game around the time it came out… before it crashed my computer. I wonder if it holds up
An oft repeated bit of trivia is that the actors were told they wouldn’t be paid if they laughed, this comment seeks to disprove that, but fails to mention it in the first place
I agree regarding soapboxing. I think the posts that barely hide the fact they’re looking for reactions or agreement rather than discussion are probably the most grating and least constructive use of this community.
However, I think it remains to be seen if the community believes it’s something that needs to be addressed, and if so, if the mods are even conducive to changes. I do see the sidebar states “loosely moderated”. I am open to the possibility that I’m just being uptight and may just need to move on 😆
There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue.
This bugs me. Of course, I can ignore and/or downvote those posts, and I do. However, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I’m don’t want to stifle content and discussion on such a burgeoning platform, but could we do something about this?
Perhaps we could “tag” posts in some way (I know tags aren’t officially supported yet) or maybe we could redirect folks to a sister community for non-discussion questions. Or something else?
Just throwin’ it out there. If I’m alone in this, I’ll take my lumps and quietly sit back down.
EDIT: Already seeing good points in the replies! makes sense- probably a bit too early to be sticklers about topics.
EDIT 2: Really appreciate the responses and discussion! I appreciate the discourse and also not being downvoted to oblivion 😄
FINAL EDIT: Thanks to all who commented. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, but I do accept what most (including mods) have said- cracking down on the types of questions is not a priority when the community is still growing.
I read this like the milkshake scene from “There Will Be Blood”
I. EAT. YOUR. PIZZA! I EAT IT UP!
You’ve probably figured this by now, OP, but the computers at your job are weird. Needing to install USB drivers for mouse and keyboard to work is not normal behavior for Windows. Like another person commented- check the BIOS settings.
I agree. Definitely see more home hardware or cheap VPS related posts than work environment posts.
I don’t have high hopes but I hope for the best for Daisy. I don’t think she or any of the actors were the weak point in the sequels
I miss palm OS. I think it had some undeniable jank but it also had great features and a bit of “charm”. I’m pretty sure I still remember most of the Graffiti alphabet!
From the sidebar:
If your post meets the following criteria, it’s welcome here!
- Open-ended question
- Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
- Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
So… how is this an open ended question/topic for discussion?
Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! .. oh, no, that’s not Steve, it is Alan
Similar products exist, but I don’t think any of the others have quite the same level of official and community documentation.
“I never could get the hang of Thursdays.”
One of my favorite games. I love the framing mechanic of him telling a story. If you die, he says “No, no, no, that's not how it happened”
It also works in the “other” direction- if you’re already using compose files, you can point dockge to their existing location (stacks directory) and it will scan and pick them up!
