patchw3rk@kbin.socialto BestOf the Fediverse@kbin.social•/u/@[email protected] discusses the dichotomy between effective moderation vs. low content, with excellent references provided2·2 years agoSeeing those references was very refreshing!
patchw3rk@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?4·2 years agoFlashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.
patchw3rk@kbin.socialtoTrue Gaming@kbin.social•There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old?1·2 years agoThere is some confirmation bias, that’s likely true. However, I think they’re also looking at the old games through rose-tinted goggles. Those games were played when they were literally the best the market had to offer. The mechanics were fresh and the story was new.
I tried playing some olders games that I loved, and honestly I just couldn’t care less about them. As much as they were amazing back then, they’re nothing exciting by today’s standards.
patchw3rk@kbin.socialtoTrue Gaming@kbin.social•There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old?1·2 years agoI’m a wait-and-see guy but the problem is by the time I’ve noticed I just don’t care about the game anymore. As an example: Cyberpunk 2077.
patchw3rk@kbin.socialtoTrue Gaming@kbin.social•For those who grew up without DLCs and microtransactions and games went unchanged after launch. How has the adjustment been to current day monetization and game updates?5·2 years agoWhen I played World of Warcraft, you had no cosmetics. It was the monthly subscription and the odd expansion. Everything in the game was accessible if you were willing to put the time and effort into it. Some content was very long so you really had to pick what you wanted. Some people had special fishing gear, some people had a fancy mount, and others had fancy titles.
While some of that still remains, I find way too much is accessible with money in most games. There’s good and bad. You have games constantly push out new content, refreshing gameplay, and skins to pay for it. On the other hand, you have games that just try to milk their customers. I’d say 99% of mobile games are absolute disgraces.
The other facet is that I’m older now. I don’t have the absolute freedom that comes with being a child. If I can pay an extra dollar to progress a bit quicker, maybe that’s better for me? I don’t know.

patchw3rk@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•A better list of Mastodon servers that have pre-emptively defederated from Threads.net6·2 years agoSo what you’re saying is we need to open a Threads account and become Nazis?
patchw3rk@kbin.socialto General Discussion@lemmy.world•should locking and forced "merger" of communities be allowed?31·2 years agoAs Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I’ve been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I’m afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I’m not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn’t really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.

patchw3rk@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My Reddit Account got banned for the dumbest reason.52·2 years agoI’ve been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.
I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.
patchw3rk@kbin.socialOPto BestOf the Fediverse@kbin.social•[Meta Monday] Discussion Thread2·2 years agoIt does help a lot. I believe I selected ‘Copy url to Fediverse’ while my peer @fishos used ‘copy url’ which works properly.

patchw3rk@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?23·2 years agoI disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an ‘in’ and ‘out’.
patchw3rk@kbin.socialOPto BestOf the Fediverse@kbin.social•[Meta Monday] Discussion Thread2·2 years agoThanks for the feedback. I honestly never realized it did that. I’ll try and figure out a way that doesn’t do this.

patchw3rk@kbin.socialto Boost For Lemmy@lemmy.world•Feature request: hide server in community names on communities list2·2 years agoHonestly, I think it’s important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However… the only time it’s really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of ‘multireddits’ for all spaces with the same subject.
The Last Kingdom.
I can’t quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.
