Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • I adore the first trilogy of DQ games but I’m holding off cause I don’t like or trust SE anymore (plus, denuvo, ugh).

    I will say, it’s a better experience to play 1 thru 3 in order with no prior knowledge of what makes them a trilogy. Having 3 stand alone kind of misses that “oh fuuuuuuuck” realization I got to experience (and subjected a friend to, who has yet to forgive me lol). It’s what made 3 one of my favorites next to 5 and 11.



  • Oh yeah, that multiple organizations things absolutely fuuuucks me since I’m adjunct at multiple universities/colleges. It keeps trying to default me to a place I don’t even work at anymore and somehow still refuses to let me leave it without reinstalling Windows (which I won’t do as I’ll be moving to Linux full time once I do).



  • I was never much of a social media guy, especially after moonlighting one summer as a social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram (really, really kills it for ya), but I was a redditor for a while.

    I swapped over to Lemmy exclusively during the API fees, but to be fair I was already getting frustrated by the service. The karma farming was just too much, so many stupid reposts of the same stupid made up wholesome stories and crap. I think I only miss r/comics and r/idiotsincars, the later requiring a critical mass of people to actually be worthwhile.

    Ok, except what if only the target is within earshot and it’s used exclusively to make that person feel like shit? And would this be true of any other insult that could potentially apply to someone else, like being bad at something? Although I guess if harm is the goal, empathy isn’t exactly a priority.

    I’ll concede you’re right about collateral damage, though. Friends of mine know I don’t actually believe the insult in most cases (especially penis size, what am I, 12?), but I use more tact if I’m worried it would upset present company or being up bad memories, etc (more commonly fat shaming). I also don’t insult people like I used to, though.

    But, I don’t really hold anything sacred and I’m not about to hold back a good insult for a hypothetical person.

    It’s like with the “do you punch a Nazi?”, even pacifists have limits.

    Then again, I think for me it’s ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them— and penis size is the “alpha males” easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.
