If only the famously homophobic US military hadn't become less homophobic 10 years ago! THEN there wouldn't be centuries of history of homophobia in The Global South(tm) (lemmy.world)

Goodness, I almost had a dangerous thought, like “The struggles we experience in Western countries largely have analogues in non-Western countries” instead of “Every Problematic Opinion™ held by non-Western societies is The West’s fault”

196 specifically attracts some odd people, plus what are probably a decent number of hexbear alts. You see it all the time when politics come up.

The funny thing to me is, Dragon’s Dogma 1, in its original release on Xbox 360 and ps3, had microtransactions. You could buy rift crystals, lots of cosmetics, quests, etc. Then they released Dark Arisen as a complete collection sort of thing all dlc included, but I think you could still buy more for that too, mainly just the rift crystals.

Besides that, it seems like every single Capcom game in the last 10 years or something has had mountains of paid dlc, like buying proud souls and blue orbs in the DMC games (consumable upgrade materials), upgrades in resident evil games, all sorts of stuff. Not that I’m defending Capcom’s actions, I don’t like what they do here, but I just wonder why it was Dragon’s Dogma 2 that broke the camel’s back instead of any of their other games.

Yep, that’s me. When I still actively used reddit, I felt this with every message, was always afraid I was off the mark, or didn’t read the room, or said something wrong or ignorant.

I just turned off notifications and ignored my karma count to just post through it. Though, I usually said things that either never got any votes, or that people seemed to generally agree with. And I was relieved whenever I did notice the numbers going up instead of down, and occasionally worked up the courage to check responses and continue conversations, but usually nothing.

This has really not changed since moving to Lemmy, and really just persists through every website. It sucks, I mostly just don’t comment.

I feel the same way, my block list is massive. The app I use to browse, the lemmy version of Boost, also has a word filter option too, which isn’t on the desktop browser interface (I don’t think), so I can block names of certain people and current event incidents I’m not interested in seeing any more, without needing to block communities or users. It only works when the post actually has the words in the title, so ironic memes slip through all the time, but its better than nothing.

I use emoji constantly on other platforms, specifically discord and steam. Like, I basically replace all my sentence-ending punctuation with doofy faces. But I don’t like using default unicode emoji, they suck. And I also generally don’t feel comfortable using emoji around strangers anyway.

I can’t interact with politics in a level-headed way, I just word-blocked the current incident and all the politics servers. It sucks not to know what’s going on but I can’t trust myself, I’ll just get emotional and make a fool of myself. Political memes that don’t use any of those words directly still come up, but at least it’s less.

Cheaper development budgets, no room for QA, rushed out the door; still sold for 70 bucks.
