People absolutely should be mentioning in their reviews of a product that it has bad netcode, or any other positives or negatives they think are worth mentioning. People use reviews to inform their purchases of products. Victim blaming people for certain developers’ inability to produce robust netcode is wild.

I don’t feel like its too closed off, no, I appreciate how closed off it is!

A reminder that Microsoft coined the term “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and they are going to continue doing this on purpose

Anti plastic propaganda is a hilarious sentiment. I’m sure it exists, but we aren’t meant to have plastic in our testicles.

Being fat and sedentary is also a problem, but two (or more) problems can exist and all require attention.

Its incredibly difficult to join beehaw without knowing what its about. When you apply to join they explain what it is and ensure that you’re actually, like, on board with the mission. I can understand the sentiment of users finding themselves underwhelmed and leaving if they don’t understand why.

As someone with accounts on other instances, I’ve definitely encountered far more bigotry and bad faith arguments off-beehaw than on-beehaw. For some people, which would appear to include you, encountering the asshole and blocking and moving on is sufficient, and that’s fine and awesome for them. But for others who may be part of marginalised communities or particularly vulnerable, the bubble of safety and curation that beehaw offers is so tremendously valuable.

Beehaw has defederated from instances they felt were not meeting a minimum standard of moderation and healthy, good faith discussion. Beehaw’s whole shtick is to maintain a platform where its users can be(e) kind and expect others to behave similarly.

It is genuinely baffling to me how people can see beehaw curating their instance this way and go “feewings” and “beehaw bad”.

I think you mean legally distinct horror kart

Absolutely, but its well worth the cost. You improve your own life and the lives of all of the people you interact with since you’re not projecting your trauma or having them bear the weight of your mental ill health as much.

It isn’t a cost that everyone can afford and that’s okay, but it should be high on pretty much everybody’s list of “things to get”.

This is a thread about things people bought. Money is implied.

Private therapy sessions. Get therapy.

Getting therapy.

Get therapy everyone. Seriously.

Honestly even your average tech bro isn’t doing as well as they “should” be. Mass layoffs and unreal churn in the tech industry mean that while tech bros are perhaps less affected by inflation than your “average joe” in some other sector, its still the ceos and that lot who are winning.

Dooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit

Tunic! Bonus points for being one of the best games of all time.

Grayjay is pretty snazzy

If this is interesting to you, try CrossCode

Fake elected official

You think they are in a position to bring about change for the people but actually haha they’re just there to fuck you all

Gender is a very personal thing. You don’t get to tell someone they’re trans - some nonbinary folks do not consider their identity to be a transgender identity and that’s entirely valid. You can dive as deep as you want into the technicalities of the transgender umbrella, but at the end of the day these are words we are using to describe ourselves and if “myself” does not align with “transgender” then anyone insisting that it does align is misguided at best.

Aaaaaaalllssso you can fuck around with gender within your AGAB and not consider yourself non binary. Femboys are valid and many are cis. There’s probably some transmasculine femboys out there!

I was very much hoping that this was like “Skeletor is a bad guy and is saying this thing which is implicitly wrong and harmful”

Edit: nope, her post history is a fucking trash fire. She truly believes this.

Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that
