Socially awkward. Much more sociable around here than in real-life.

Interested in Sci-Fi, 3D Art, Photography, Gaming, Cooking (more like eating) or just talking about whatever. Otherwise than that, just ask.

Why are conversations on Reddit often so hostile and toxic now days?

Reddit used to be a great platform to discuss some topic and get different points of few in a friendly but factual manner. However, slowly it seems like the platform has become a lot more like Facebook, where it's been invaded by toxic people that are constantly looking for opportunities to shit and hate on others....

obiwantan,

Exactly. That's what I enjoy about lemmy. It's MY decision what my feed looks like, not the decision of some shitty corporate algorithm trying to "make me engage" or to force feed me ads.

Well, that and the much nicer user base.

obiwantan,

Can relate. Everyone seems afraid of me all the time until they see me taking a walk with my pekingese-chihuahua mix.

obiwantan,

^ this.

obiwantan,

I usually go full paragon on the characters I like (Squadmates, Anderson, etc.) but full renegade on anyone I don't like (Saren, TIM). Romancing Liara in ME1, then going for Tali in ME2 and ME3. Leading Garrus on the "good" path. Saving the council. Geth/Quarian alliance. Curing the genophage. Synthesis.

I tried to play it different many times, but in the end I just can't help myself but to stick to these points.

obiwantan,

Beautiful. Symmetrical. 90° angles. Every window has a strict purpose. No fancy animations. No popups. No bullshit.

obiwantan,

Indeed. I prefer light blue on black, though. Actually, I designed my whole system with that in mind.

I'm a minimalist guy liking minimalist things. But everything has to be equal and symmetrical.

obiwantan,

Of course.

They tried putting a polician in place. Trump happened. That didn't work out the way it should have. So now they're trying to put industry leaders in place. Besides retrying round one.

We'll see how that will go.

obiwantan, (edited )

Thank you.

It's actually DAZ. First 3D software I've used, easy to get into and still my favorite. Has a bad rep because of all the porn, though. Never got around to bother with Blender.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Andromeda can be fun. But I just can't get into it for the love of me. The characters feel blunt and superficial. The world building seems meh. It just never gives that particular spark.

obiwantan,

Thanks. Sadly not, at least not about Mass Effect. Haven't done anything like this in a long time, most of my work can be considered lost.

obiwantan,

I'll look out for it. Thanks.

obiwantan,

Thank you for such a thorough answer. I am not capable of reading and understanding that right now, but I will as soon as I've got some sleep. Cheers.

obiwantan,

I came here for the same reason. Already feel more welcome than in my whole time over at rid-it.

obiwantan, (edited )

Glad to have you. Just came over here a blink earlier as you and instantly felt more welcome than ever.

EDIT: Engrish hard language.

obiwantan,

Perfect description! I always feel like "I'll never see these characters again." and "This can't be the end, I want more time and interactions!" Then I do some fan art which works wonders coping with it. (BTW, I'll post something later today)

Sometimes I just wish I could erase all I know to REALLY start over with the story and the characters.

Maybe I should be worried for being so obsessed... meh, fuck it, feels too good.

obiwantan,

Post-Reaper? Sounds awesome. You could do the writing, I could do the art. If I ever get a good enough PC, that is. My last render took 14 hours and even then just reached around 80%.

Yeah, I really hope they can bring those feelings back.

Hello new people joining the and sides of the ! How did you find yourself here? What was the specific point that lead you to make the jump?

@technology community on https://beehaw.org]

obiwantan,

Hello to you, too.

I've been thinking about joining the Fediverse for a long time now but was always too lazy to take the first step. Now with the troubles over at YOU-KNOW-WHICH-PLATFORM, I finally did it.

Tried a few different instances over the couple two weeks until I finally settled with my current one. Communities seem to be generally much nicer and less toxic. Glad to be part if this - should have done it much sooner!

obiwantan,

Um... I should have said hello erlier before even posting. Sorry for that and hello there.

About the new game - call me a pessimist. I'm in love with the trilogy since it was only ME1 back in my late youth. After BioWare kind of died, we had Andromeda. Which was a fun game, of course, but never even remotely cought my interest compared to the trilogy.

I hope a new game will do a better job of inspiring me.

I guess I'll see it when I play it.
