"Women are too emotional to vote, they should only have firearms instead" is parody material.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

As someone that was a late teenager during the run of Infinity Engine games, and then witnessed the subsequent consolization and decline of CRPGs... seeing Baldur's Gate as a CRPG again and having it be a marquee AAA-caliber release is kinda mind-blowing.

The 2000s were a mistake, and so much of modern indie development is about undoing those mistakes. "Boomer" shooters, immersive sims, CRPGs, point and click adventures? All back on the menu, baby.

Submissions have to be related to games - Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

Sports are games. Not sure that's the kind of traffic this community is envisioning, though.

People get "slippery slope" wrong. Not every sequence of events is a slope.

The idea of slippery slope is that one small action is said to kick off an unstoppable chain reaction. It doesn't just mean that A leads to B. It means that A inevitably leads to B, even if it didn't intend to, and B happening can't be stopped once A happens. And maybe even the people that wanted A don't want B but can't stop it, because we've slipped and we're sliding uncontrollably down the slope. That's the whole concept, that we're stuck sliding.

Reddit doing one restrictive action, and then later choosing to do another restrictive action, probably doesn't apply. There's seemingly no slope, just an easily foreseeable sequence of events.

Instance Blocking - Unlike Mastodon, Lemmy does not provide a feature for individual users to block an instance (yet).

This is the real problem.

If you don't understand, start walking further away from the cities.

If you still don't understand, you're not done walking.

There are no good code bases, only less bad ones.
