Most people on Lemmy prefer Mastodon, as it's not run by a corporation, and is federated like Lemmy. It's also built off the same underlying protocol, meaning it's interoperable with lemmy.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It's the first time I've seen this claim and would like to know more.

Fuck everything about that. A family emergency is an emergency. This is only within the ballpark of reasonable if you don'g have the time off to spend and need to have the hours in.

Apologies if you've heard this before:

Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that's you failing.

If your boss can't find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that's them failing.

Likewise if you tell them you can't get something done because you're only one person, it's their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they're just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.

I've seen someone suggest wildmagic wands for a one shot.

Just because something can swim doesn't make it a fish.

Again. They rebranded for these remasters already, lol.

There's a decent amount of evidence that they weren't given the time they needed by Rockstar, that they intentionally shipped it out with a shit ton of behind the scenes files in an attempt to assist modders (at the very least it was shoved out the door so fast they didn't have time to clean the files out of the release directory, holy shit), and members of the studio have repeatedly and consistently reported that they were not permitted by Rockstar to release many bug fixes after the remasters released.

Rockstar holds the biggest blame for this one.

You should definitely check out the original Monkey Island games when you have a chance! 1 and 2 got well done remasters, and 3 onward don't really need any remastering.

Everyone else has covered most of it, but another "neat" tidbit: To my knowledge, 4chan's protests and hacktivism against scientology was the largest coordinated action that community has ever taken.

Fucking 4chan. Land of the worst the public facing internet has to offer. Despite all their fucking racism, sexism, homophobia, supremacists... just overall despicableness... they came together in united action against this group.

Watch Dogs

Fun, but sometimes the difficulty seems to be all over the place, particularly with running from pursuit. Sometimes you can lose them in a minute or two, other times the game keeps spawning in new cars in front of you with no way to dodge them without the ones behind you catching up.
