I've heard mixed things about it, but my sister who the GS fan in my family swears by it.

It's amazing, and highly recommended. I will say for the best experience, play it back to back with it's sequel Lost Age. They are basically 2 halves of the complete story.

Roundcat , 11 months ago to world in Israel is hours away from becoming a de facto dictatorship

It is the right and the duty of every citizen to act without violence to stop the destruction of freedom, equality, and the rule of law.

It is the right and the duty of every citizen to act by any means necessary.

I am getting really tired of this milquetoast, noncommittal, theatrical as fuck approach to activism, especially when you trying to defend your country against a literal violent dictatorship from seizing power in your country. Do you think they will be swayed by your strong words, emotional appeals, and the sympathetic screams of those watching the bloodshed? No of course not! These are the same motherfuckers who bomb, rape, and murder mothers and children in an open air prison routinely, and feel no remorse or guilt. This is who you are up against, and until now, you were more or less comfortable with them around as long as they gave you the illusion of freedom.

Now even that is being ripped away from you, and you think your fates will be any different if you throw a punch or voluntarily get your head smashed? They want your full obedience, and they will make examples of you regardless of whether you turn the other cheek or take an actual stand. If you want even a inkling of success in throwing off the people who threaten what's left of your democracy, you better be prepared to throw hands, cause they'll have no hesitation in doing the same to you.

Roundcat , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?

Honestly, I've appreciated the smaller community size here. Sure there are less niche communities with actual users like reddit, but there is just a much smaller concentration of idiots here than other social media sites, which makes actually talking about shit fun, rather than infuriating.

Part of the reason I stuck around even after all the redditors swam back is because I like the company here much more.

Roundcat , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?

I go back and forth between Kbin and Tildes, with a toe still left in reddit for a few niche communities. I like the idea of the fediverse, but there are definitely a lot of growing pains that it seems to be going through, and kbin just seemed like the most modern, polished, choice. (plus the devs are much less sus than Lemmy)

Tildes on the otherhand feels a lot more close knit, and more about discussion specific topics rather than being a collection of different communities. I kinda like the smaller size, plus the overall tone there is very respectful, so it's great for more nuanced conversations. This is where I come for my memes and my random conversations though.

Reddit is so old news.

A friend of mine was talking about this on treads today.

Is that like twitter for shoes?

If Kbin or Lemmy allows them to federate with us, I'm out of here.

Roundcat , 1 year ago to showerthoughts in The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate

Plus it's not even that useful of a statement in this day and age. Google isn't what it used to be, and even if it was, a lot of time it struggled with very specific and detailed problems. It would often just point you to the community where you were told to "google it"
