Elsewhere, Gregg was pictured online in 2016 holding roses next to the winner of “Miss Roadblock” at a kids night. And a flyer for the event for 13 to 17 year-olds in Hull in 2016 requested: “All ladies please arrive stunning!” The £5-a-head event was billed as having “The most up for it Crowd”, promising the “Miss Roadblock 2016” winner would get a professional photoshoot and beauty makeover.

Ah yes, those far away times of…less than a decade ago.

Also wtf is a “miss roadblock” contest?

Why can’t they just make a normal lord of the rings movie?

Because they already did? They did three. And they were so brilliant and are so beloved today that to attempt to remake them any time soon would be the height of folly.

A Hunt of Gollum movie isn’t exactly the #1 choice for a story set in Tolkien’s Legendarium that I would choose to be adapted. But of the stories that they have the rights to tell, it’s a fairly interesting premise. It’s not really likely to be a Gollum movie anyway. Aragorn is likely to be the protagonist.

Oh I was expecting those context links to explain the “queen of hearts” moniker for each of them. Idgi.

The game was already announced, but a new trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which I’m excited for.

But I don’t play a very wide range of games.

The quality of this thread is really reaching a nader.

hey #ttrpgcommunity
my solo #RPG
game Dungeons of Galora has a download page with some content you can check out!
It's a solo adventure called In the Hall of the Elderkin: a 20-minute read-and-play to give a quick run-through of the system and setting of the game.

Just letting you know, as a Mastodon user in another community I follow found out recently, you can’t actually share to multiple Lemmy communities from a single Toot. It just takes the first real community you mentioned and shares it there.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Gonna be honest, if that had been shared in a different community and with a domain name I didn’t recognise, I would 100% have bought it.

Wait, is this just projects stored in your online Adobe cloud account, or are they even stealing your content if you’re just using their desktop software? Because one of these is way, way worse than the other, even if neither is exactly good

They could require the app to connect once every 30 days or similar in order to keep functioning.

Why begrudgingly, may I ask?

If you’re using it professionally, you need your Photoshop to be properly licensed.

If you’re not using it professionally, there’s no need for proper licenses. And thus you can…acquire Photoshop in a way that doesn’t involve it calling back to Adobe’s systems.

Are you thinking of “content-aware fill”? Generative fill is, as far as I’m aware, much, much newer and uses newer generative AI. Content-aware fill is basically clever automatic clone stamping.

Top 7 “All” of all time on Lemmy, as seen by my instance:

https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/f8106a17-7122-471d-9342-a463ff339c53.png

None younger than 10 months old, on a platform largely only about 12 months old in total. So once again, not really representative of the lifetime of the site, or what the site is like today.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

No posts about open source. Nothing queer. No tankies or even leftist. I wouldn’t say that the best representation of today’s Lemmy.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

On my instance, top “All” of the month is this post, which is leftist tech/science, but also a roundabout reference to Reddit. #2 is this post, entirely just leftist politics. #3 is congratulating a left-leaning politician.

I know some Mastodon users were really unhappy at the existence of this back when it was first announced. But as far as I’m concerned it’s entirely a good thing. Even less centralisation, and it’s not like any content shared on Mastodon could be taken to be private at all anyway.

Zagorath,

“Off‽ Off‽” Highly memeable reaction there.

Or an enbie, or even just a cis man who likes long hair and the colour pink. You know that would set off the bigots.

My dad’s line is “while you’re up”. No further detail. Depending on time of day, this may be a request for beer or for tea.

And whether or not you actually are up at the time is immaterial.

And then they—the ones who claim to be so socially enlightened—say that the idea of cultural genocide is fake and doesn’t exist and that erasing a culture by forcibly assimilating it is Good Actually.

No you’re absolutely right. On an individual level, it always makes sense to wear a helmet. I’ll always see someone without a helmet, whatever the context, and think they’re a fucking idiot.

Yes, even in the Netherlands.

But individual decisions are not the same as public health policy. And from a public health perspective, mandatory helmets are a net negative.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

No, this is absolutely true. In general, women tend to be more risk averse than men. So in an environment where you have to ride on the road with cars—i.e., anywhere in Australia—women are going to be much less likely to feel safe riding a bike.

Separate from that, there are also issues that matter more to women than to men, relating to things like “eyes on the street” and path lighting at night. Men are more likely than women to feel safe riding on a dark park through a park at night.

perhaps I’m missing out on some Australian content? Any tiops on communities

There are Australians producing content on all the usual communities. Unless you’re interested specifically in content about Australia or aimed towards other Australians in particular, you’re probably not missing out on anything.

If that is what you want, check the communities hosted on aussie.zone.
