For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

yuzu kitsune tails, a purple haired fox girl, picks up samurai armor in a tower that's rapidly filling with lava. she jumps away from the rising lava and sticks her spear in the wall, doing a dashing twirl to get on top of it. she walks off the spear and into a new scene, fighting a ghost fox with armor and spear. it stabs and she jumps over, but is caught by a follow up stab. the ghost fox over extends and its ghostly powers wane, giving yuzu a chance to bop on its head

@eniko im sorry, I can't add this to my wishlist a second time. Steam has some dumb rule about that.

I will tell my friends, tho.

Twitter literally suspended the people who outed the Nazi instead of the Nazi himself. Why? The Nazi asked Elon to suspend them.

And some of you reading this still help to keep Twitter alive. Get the fuck off that shit and don’t look back.

@VieilOgre @LALegault @chopaganda @JonChevreau oh for fuck's sake, this is why they're winning. This thread.

Stop talking past each other and talk to each other. @LALegault didn't say it was a good thing, just that some needed services are still there, and your response is to accuse them of siding with Nazis.

There will be no progress until the left stops trying to eat itself. X sucks, Elon is a transphobic asshat, Nazis are bad, and we all agree on that.

@s20@easymode.im avatar

@VieilOgre @JonChevreau @chopaganda @LALegault I don't know why I bothered. You didn't listen to me any more than you listened to anyone else.

You're right. We need to stand up to Nazis.

LITERALLY NO ONE IS SAYING OTHERWISE.

YOU'RE NOT FUCKING LISTENING.

YOU ARE WHY THE LEFT CAN'T WORK TOGETHER.

You and every other self-righteous asshole who is always 100% convinced you're right, and can't be bothered to learn anything.

So, for the last fucking time:

IT IS NOT YOUR ANTI NAZI STANCE THAT PEOPLE ARE ARGUING WITH. WE AGREE WITH THAT. YOU ARE NOT MAKING A VALID OR ENLIGHTENING ARGUMENT. YOU'RE JUST REFUSING TO BE HELPFUL AND TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BAD.

Short version: gain reading comprehension skills and grow up.

@BlackAzizAnansi almost everyone is to one degree or another. That's why it keeps working. I'm not immune, but I like to think that I can at least notice when it's happening and adjust my reasoning. Most of the time.

China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”

Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

@afif @rustyshelf nope. Just explaining why Apple cares about one and not the other.

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda surprised anyone would have this take on a what I said. Thought I was pretty safe with everyone understanding the irony here. I mean, I know I'm on the Internet and everything, but I really thought, just this once, I didn't need a neon sign.

Ahh, well. That's on me I guess.

Gen Z would rather risk Trump and hit him with a truck then see the genocide continue. Millennials are more likely to get on side with Biden reluctantly if he stops Israel and begins the two state solution he keeps promising.

I am not the representative for either group. Please for the love of everything stop threatening me with Trump in my comments, I am not even American— I am just plugged into to these two demographics :)

s20,
@s20@easymode.im avatar

@LALegault I'm not threatening, I'm just confused. I fucking hate the situation we're in and I don't see a way out of it, and the last Trump run gave us an overturned Roe v Wade, a stacked judicial all the way to the Supreme Court, and other horrors that we'll be dealing with for a generation.

I'm not making threats, I'm terrified and looking for some kind of comfort.

I am slowly making my peace with the idea that D&D’s incoherence is one of its strongest features, and is a reason why so many attempts to “fix” D&D fail long before the size of the business even enters the picture.

D&D is, ultimately, just enough of an excuse for an infinite toy box of wild bullshit. The imaginary toys are the point, and that’s glorious.

But it’s also super frustrating if you want it to make any kind of sense. Which is too bad, but not enough to stop the fun.

s20,
@s20@easymode.im avatar

@rdonoghue dude. There are coherent and well designed rules that allow for this. Try !

Hell, once you understand how the math works, you can do this in Pathfinder 2e without difficulty. There's no reason to put up with a badly designed system just because the holes are big enough to drive your fantasy truck through.

s20, to KDE
@s20@easymode.im avatar

Ooooh... why did I say I'd use KDE for 2 weeks? Can I shorten that to one?

This is just adjustment pain talking, I know, but wow. I might love how looks, but actually working with it is not fun for me. Nothing works the way I expect it to.

But CO, don't you just mean "meh! nOt GnoMe! mE No LiKeY!"

I mean... yeah. That's what I mean. From the very first time I tried 3 (like, ten or twelve years ago), everything about it has felt natural to me. The changes that have been made over the years leading up to Gnome 45 today have all more or less worked for me. The way it works just meshes with my brain somehow, and it's very comfortable to work in.

Plasma is none of that, and I don't know why I'm putting myself through this. Don't get me wrong: I adore the KDE project. It's a gorgeous, feature-packed, ultimately configurable . The problem for me personally is that I just don't need about 75% of those features, and the default setups don't function the way my brain does.

So in short, I might be cutting this experiment short, not because KDE is bad, but because Gnome feels like home.

Which is weird, because I hated Gnome 2, which I thought of as a more difficult to work with, less resource efficient version of .

Oh, yeah, and ? It's fine. It's super-fine-tuned and dedicated to its mission of being a cutting edge KDE desktop. Which is great if that's what you want, but there's a fine line between dedication and obsession.

I prefer it to dealing with Arch, though, if I'm being honest - specifically because of that obsession. Everything official is tight, works together, and accomplishes the stated goal of the OS. Even the KCP repo is on board for the most part, and it all comes together. If someone did something like this for Gnome/GTK, it'd probably be my OS of choice.

s20,
@s20@easymode.im avatar

@devSJR And believe me, it's not like I don't see the appeal. It's just that for whatever reason, Plasma has always existed in a kind of "uncanny valley" of DEs. Everything is just slightly off of how I want it to work.

Out of curiosity... what do you think of some of the upcoming Plasma 6 features? And which distro do you call home? I'm a habitual distro hopper, but I always end up landing back on Fedora Workstation.

@Tim_Eagon this is more an "opportunity" thing for me. Like, there's stuff I've found and want, but I either haven't had the spare cash or the opportunity. So I just tell everyone I know who might also be interested.
