I don't actually use TikTok or even the "sliding" function on youtube shorts, but I feel like my attention span has gotten much worse after they started getting popular. Even watching a 2 minute video feels dreadfully long, let alone a 10 or 20 minute video, so I end up watching a mostly short animation memes instead.
Back to the Dawn. Pretty cool prison escape game. Reminds me of the gameplay of Kindergarten with it being more of a serious story and world (with a little bit of sillyness). Seems like the full game will be pretty fun!
I mean, this is Explain Like I'm Five. I feel the goal would be to dumb it down as much as possible and I feel that this is a very good, if somewhat cheeky, way of explaining the very very basics of the Fediverse.
Is this missing a lot of nuance? Of course. But everyone having a bunch of different spots that can't be held to some "bad guy's" standards while all those spots are still able to share and talk to each other, is a very good way to explain to someone who has no understanding of instances and servers and especially if you needed to explain it to a 5 year old.
Sorry but your terminology is confusing me. Would you feel comfortable explaining that you mean by progressive types being hostile to transsexuals? I've heard all three terms used interchangeably over the years, and last I've heard "transgender" is the acceptable term.
Thanks for explaining, as far as I know the term "transexual" was removed from the DSM and isn't used anymore for diagnosis. "Transsexualism" was replaced in the DSM-IV by "gender identity disorder in adolescents and adults".
So what you're describing is pre 1994, but please don't take this as an argument to your use of the language, plus the DSM is used by the APA and may not be used in other places, as I don't know where you're located those terms you use may still be used there.
I was going to mention that but didn't wish to open the can of worms too much. Lol
I work in the behavioral health field, and while there is a lot of outdated terminology still used, the shift to MTF, FTM, transgender, and gender dysphoria has been very quick. Providers, in the US as that's where I'm located, have adopted that phrasing as the outdated terms have become appropriated by hate speech.
So yeah, I agree, what is or isn't "medical" is often times used as a talking point to justify who is or isn't "real" and target certain groups and people by othering them.
Super excited for this! It reminded me of Shadows of Doubt at first, but when I saw how open it was, I was very interested. If you want something to scratch that itch, I suggest Shadows of Doubt, mainly focused on being a detective, solving procedurally created murders in a procedurally created city, but its pretty cool! https://store.steampowered.com/app/986130/Shadows_of_Doubt/
This Changes the Game a Bit! (youtu.be)
This changes the experience a lot! Been playing around in single player and its 100 times more immersive!
Six Days in Fallujah might as well be a horror game.
Really enjoying it, especially with taking a break from Hell Let Loose due to Team 17 bungling things....

Anyone else notice that short videos are making their attention span worse?

What is fediverse and why is it so talked about in this site?
fediverse?
Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
If so, do you consistently report it and get the feeling that it gets dealt with? Of course there are instances dedicated solely to being human trash
Anyone else excited about Nivalis? (www.youtube.com)
It's a cyberpunk life sim being developed by ION LANDS. The same team that made Cloudpunk. I can't wait to do some cyberpunk fishing!...
