I personally disagree that the original is best. It’s high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

I’m a fan of the “piece swap” feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I’ve played.

A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.

Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn’t cut short by Zaslav’s budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there’s a chance it’s a good show

Totally. I know it’s not a popular opinion, but I really enjoyed The Matrix 4 for this reason.

The movie had some significant issues (wtf was that Merovingian fight?), but I loved the world building both in the matrix and in the real world.

Thank you. I’ve found one of the communities with the search functionality.

You’re awesome tho!

This is the same (based) judge that previously ruled that the GAC ban for minors was unconditional.

The new ruling overturns the part of the ban that restricted Medicaid funding for going to GAC for adults.

Does anyone know what parts of the bill are still active? I’m guessing the requirement for informed consent is still required, but I don’t know what else

When I read Hitchhiker’s Guide, I pronounced it b’tell-jew-EEss

There’s a thought that:

Currently in Florida, don’t have immediate plans to move. My mother-in-law is recently widowed, so we want to stay close.

I’m trans, but I also live with a lot of personal privilege (well paying job with non-state insurance, white, married, liberal city, no kids, haven’t faced direct discrimination). The particular set of laws that Florida has passed are limited in how they affect me.

That’s not to say i don’t care – I’m actually livid with my state government. Many of my trans/queer friends have rightly left the state already, but I personally can stay around for longer to push back as I can

I’ve spoken to my brother in Illinois, and if worse comes to worse, i have somewhere I can go if Florida becomes unlivable

Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term “action-adventure” but they were often grouped together. You can think of it as “either or”, rather than some weird neologism

[Edit: i can’t back up the statement that they were merge by magazine writers, that’s just where i first saw them merged]

I haven’t seen some of his earlier movies, but Denis Villeneuve has made some of my favorite recent movies, including Arrival

I also am a huge fan of the Wachowskis, loved Cloud Atlas, Sense8, and Speed Racer. Only movie i didn’t really enjoy was Jupiter Ascending, but even then, there were aspects i still liked

Only created a week ago, but it has a few active subscribers, could be worth checking out

I don’t think it makes a “good story”, but my parents have accepted me.

My uncle is an established child psychology reaearcher (had been “chief psychologist” and “assistant director” at multiple children’s hospitals. When I came out, they reached out to my uncle to ask for advice (especially for how sudden it appeared to them, when it was literally since I was a young teen for me), which he basically replied “if [dead name] is talking to you about this, it’s something they’ve been dealing with for a long time”. I think this helped them a lot

My parents took some time to come to terms with my transition. They struggled with my new name and using the right pronouns, but they put in the work, and we have a fairly solid relationship now. We were never super close (still aren’t), but I have no qualms giving them a call sometimes, or spending holidays with them.

I think the concept is intuitive and interesting, but the implementation/interface isn’t.

Always fun to learn something new. I’ve primarily used vim since 2016, and i never knew g_ to jump to last non-space character in the line

Separate frustration.

I was commenting on a post that got deleted, wrote a technical comment about the same length as this comment, but it turns out the post was deleted, so i just wasted a bunch of time.

I’ve had the same issue in the past with Reddit, so it’s not any different than usual, but just another pain point that would be nice to resolve

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve been playing around a bit, and I was able to subscribe to communities in non-beehaw instances, and they are showing up in my feed. That’s now working as expected.

I made a comment in another instance (!chibears@1337lemmy.com) in the “Bold Predictions?” thread. I can see the comment in my profile, and the thread shows 13 comments when I view it in Beehaw, but going directly to the 1337lemmy.com website, shows 12 comments and my comment is missing.

This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s not clear what’s causing the two views to appear differently. I’m assuming the two instances aren’t federating the user properly or something. I would expect an error message or warning if I’m not allowed to post.

Any thoughts what’s going on here?

My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

I’m still having minor issues, but they aren’t deal breakers. Like, I’ve had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn’t bother me much

Main issue I’m trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I’m using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can’t see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I’m making don’t show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I’m missing something

You have :vim: in your user’s “tags” (flair? desc? Idk). I haven’t found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I’m interested if you have a recommendation.

I guess that would make “community discovery” as a particular thing I’m having some difficulty with. Getting better as I’m getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point

Groovy. Thank you

I’m looking for something like this (queer/trans memes). Could you link the community?
