vonxylofon,

Botanically, yes. From a culinary perspective, no.

vonxylofon,

Hundred and eight what?

Hundred and eight speed.

vonxylofon,

If you haven’t, give the Talos Principle a try. It scratches the same itch as Portal for me, although the tone is less whimsical, but equally bizarre.

vonxylofon,

Yeah, I’ve heard good things about the second one, so I’m doing the first one now. Finding the stars is truly insane sometimes.

vonxylofon,

INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.

vonxylofon,

Not a single Triffid reference? I am disappointed.

vonxylofon,

Looking at all the cars in the socialist countries… Huh.

vonxylofon,

Who says you can’t eat the car? Definitely not this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

vonxylofon,

Yep. I’ve been here for one day and I’m already talking in conversations. Took me two weeks to get anywhere on Mastodon. (And exactly the same on Reddit and Twitter before… the incidents.)

vonxylofon,

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

vonxylofon,

I think it’s not even about shadowbanning, I think it’s about Twitter not giving you anything to interact with (a discovery mechanism). Reddit/Lemmy has a list of subreddits/communities that have a clear focus, so you can jump right in and engage. Neither Twitter nor Mastodon have that. There, you need to find people who generally post/share things that interest you, but that’s a lot more difficult.

vonxylofon,

Nomination itself is a kind of a prize. Yes, BG3 will probably win everything, but that’s what happens if it’s really that good at everything. LotR won 11 Oscars because it was better than all the other contenders that year, but the nominations mean they were recognised as good enough to go against the winner.

vonxylofon,

Clearly, you don’t frequent simracing communities.

vonxylofon,

That could be pretty easily abused, imagine, by straw men siphoning state money without any prospect of winning.

At least in Europe, there are campaign financial limits so things don’t get too out of hand. Corruption, therefore, is done via other means.

vonxylofon,

The stated problem is actually more pronounced with a larger number of parties than 2. If the governing party is strong, but doesn’t have majority, and the opposition is split, they usually need to trade favours with the opposition parties to get anything done.

vonxylofon,

Yep, same in the Czech Republic.
