I really did not get it until I “gave up” and started mentally brute forcing the remaining possibilities, typing in any unguessed first letter and then imagining what could go in the third space.

I got the related word on my first guess, I feel so smart
Edit: as someone new to the community I just learned the format you post it in, and that these games have share buttons

Communities show up as @communityname@instance.com
to me when I’m browsing—I am on Kbin. It would be really nice if the two could just agree on this or make the links work with each other, because I know when I view them on a Lemmy website they say !communityname@instance.com
.
I’ve seen this puzzle several times before but there does not seem to be a distinct name for it. Wikipedia lists the Bioshock example under Legacy/Similar games on the Pipe Mania page.
@musicals@kbin.social
@hobbydrama@lemmy.world
Sadly both are inactive. I just posted to @musicals@kbin.social though, and intend to post to @hobbydrama@lemmy.world… sometime.
@namethatsong@lemmy.wtf, for helping people find out what song they are thinking of, just like the subreddit of the same name.
Glad this is here. Tried searching for the original post on r/hobbydrama to link to a friend, and couldn’t find it.
Sorry! One thing Kbin doesn’t do and that Lemmy seems to do sometimes is telling me, without me clicking on the user’s profile, which platform and instance a poster is posting from.
As a Kbin user, microblogs definitely are not all the posts we make here. We can both microblog through “Add new post” and make a thread through “Add new link”, “Add new thread”, and “Add new photo”.
Genuine question, as a non-Twitter user, what was Twitter-style discussion that held value like? I only ever heard about it being a quick source for certain official outlets to broadcast to others (which does have value but that’s not discussion), a place for political fighting and harassment, and about how you weren’t able to have nuanced discussions within the small character limit.
I know one advantage of Mastodon is that the character limit is much higher.
I was always annoyed by the “LMAO everyone pathetic nerd stereotype” thing they did on Reddit, only partially because it assumed everyone was a man desperate for sex from a woman. Is this comment an attempt at a joke or a genuine assessment?
I may be a nerd and it is probably fair to say most Fediverse users are. But I’m not a basement-dweller stereotype and I’m not sure where that comes from aside from the tired old Reddit joke about all its users being that exact stereotype.
Also, again, network effects. Go where advice exists on a nice wiki, not where it’s a new community and maybe 1 person will answer your comment if you are lucky—a lot of people just want an answer and don’t want to deal with the nonresponse and tumbleweeds from a totally new community. It is emotionally easier to toss a post about gaming into the void than it is to approach with an actual problem you have in a relationship or with your finances you need help with, then to check in daily in hope someone answered only to get crickets back, and then repost in another community (or even another site, where you might have to rewrite that post so that you can’t just look it up and find out FediverseUser83 posted the same thing as RedditUser92 and is thus probably the same person’s two accounts). So these become “why waste the effort and time when you could just go to Reddit and get a quicker response?” to an even higher level than other communities—nonresponse probably hurts more.
For relationship advice specifically, I recall that subreddit being called unrealistic so often that I understand why people might be wary to start a new one here.
I’m actually pretty image-conscious and a lot of this manifests in putting effort into how I dress. I am also incredibly uncomfortable putting pictures of myself (yes, you can talk about fashion without selfies, but the typical “does this look good on me” post requires you post yourself. “Look at this outfit I put together” is easiest to do with your own human body, not searching online for images of each piece of clothing you put on and putting them in one image, especially because some older pieces may not have a perfectly matching online image) on social media like Reddit, let alone the Fediverse which duplicates your post to tons of servers who may or may not respect post deletions. I’d imagine this frustrates the growth of fashion, makeup, and hair communities.
Hobby Community Discussion will be like the subreddit’s Town Hall
Might want to change that to “community” now that we’re on the Fediverse
