I just noticed this when I saw a strange “Achievement Unlocked” notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a...
The site “Striped Bandits” died in 2022 or so and was replaced with a raccoon comic. What did you think of the old 2005-2016 era website? Did you use its forum back in the day? I remember reading about it.
Why were pigs chosen to be the main negative subject of the common pearls before swine quote that another way of saying not to give important stuff to people who won’t cherish it?
Apparently they have come to the conclusion that skunk stripes are different based on the area and how many predators there are. It’s nice to know more about my favorite animals.
What do you think of the upcoming TTRPG? I think it will be interesting to see as it is the first official Final Fantasy TTRPG to my knowledge. I’m not sure how Square Enix will translate the Final Fantasy related things into the TTRPG space, though I have seen several attempts at fan made Final Fantasy systems such as...
Unfortunately a lot of Reddit communities have not transferred over to Lemmy so I have to use Reddit logged out. But now the comments aren’t loading anymore…
The world gives a nice vertical element to Kingdom Hearts, even if Sora seems a little slower than normal. The ocean world breaks up the style of gameplay enough to give a new and interesting gameplay. But it seems like people don’t like it much, why is that?
I’ve liked it ever since I saw that picture of it in the version 3.5 Monster Manual for Dungeons & Dragons. A very cool and comical looking monster in the artwork here. It’s strange that it got retconned from chaotic evil to lawful evil when Planescape was introduced.
I like the concept of turning into other creatures on my own volition. There’s a prestige class in third edition called the Shifter which allows for changing into various forms far more than a regular wild shape would allow, such as humanoids, oozes, plants, constructs, dragons, and outsiders (I could turn into an Achaierai if...
Shocking News: Reddit has trademarks for forum names like "Explain Like I'm Five" registered on USPTO. (tsdr.uspto.gov)
I thought stuff like “Explain Like I’m Five” and “AMA” was proprietary to the community, or at least the Reddit community, not Reddit as a company....

What do you think of the old "MEPHITIS ADVOCATE" newsletter?
It used to exist but the website seems to be broken now. Is the newsletter still active or is it dead?
Anyone remember the Striped Bandits website?
The site “Striped Bandits” died in 2022 or so and was replaced with a raccoon comic. What did you think of the old 2005-2016 era website? Did you use its forum back in the day? I remember reading about it.
Have you seen this YouTube channel about bats? (youtube.com)
I was reminded about Bat Appreciation Day today thanks to this channel on YouTube.
Why did they chose pigs for the "pearls before swine" quote? (m.archives.bulbagarden.net)
