Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

I love games, but even when I was playing a lot of multiplayer, it was never really a strong competitive thing for me. We hit our stride right after school because we were all spread out across the country, but nobody had too serious of a job or relationship to devote much time to. We would all lobby up, and just use the voice chat to bust chops and generally chat while the game was happening in the background.

Now, most of the people I played with don’t really have games in their life anymore, so they’re all at least 1 console generation behind. I’m married with 2 tiny children. I still play a bit, but it’s not organized, scheduled time… It’s basically whenever I can squeeze in an hour or so (usually either after everybody goes to sleep, or before anybody else wakes up). For this reason, I usually play single-player games, or if I’m playing multiplayer, it’s online with randos.

Now that you mention it I would REALLY like to get some of my friends playing Deep Rock. I’ve had nothing but good times playing with randos, but MAN it would be good to mess around with good friends.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, “turn right at the traffic light. There’s corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you’ve gone too far.”

Ouch, I feel that one.

I kinda want to make a sign out of that (with proper attribution and a watermark of the Titan sub) and put it on our manufacturing floor.

Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she’s been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom’s. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.

Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.

You can, you just have to scroll to the bottom of all the comments.

My apologies, I don’t know if you never saw it, there, or if you saw it there and just didn’t like it.

But Lemmy and Kbin can’t just “go corporate” because there is no Lemmy LLC with a CEO and shareholders. Lemmy is open source software that a whole bunch of people have been contributing to (although admittedly, I have no idea who’s in charge of approving changes, or how that works). But one thing that MIGHT be true (I’m still figuring this out myself) is that if you and I are excellent coders and we know that lemmy 3.0 is nothing but a corporate cash grab, we can just go back to Lemmy 2.99, and Save As… call it Jemmy, and then anybody who follows us is part of our cool new anti-corporate club.

I think, maybe. I’m not actually sure at all.

The biggest corporatization risk I see is that if one instance, like lemmy.jrubal gets SO big and awesome and concentrated that it would be really painful to leave and start over, then whoever operates lemmy.jrubal would have the leverage they need to be greedy, until they make it painful enough that people leave.

And @kichae !

Keep pulling that string we’ve almost got them!

It’s better than “no censorship”. It’s “whatever censorship you and your instance agree on”.

Don’t like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your “all” feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn’t federate with them. It’s just SO much better this way for everybody.

From vlemmy.net, I first searched for [email protected] and found nothing.

Then I searched for https://kbin.social/m/vegetablegardening and found it.

Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I’m in a real pickle.

Username checks out and concerns me.

I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the “old thing” just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.

Also, at the moment, there’s an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.

Quite busy. We were booked up every night all weekend with parties, class reunions, and father’s day shenanigans. Also we’re taking care of a lot of business that needs to be taken care of before our 2nd baby arrives (probably Wednesday). It’s been a weekend!

For /r/scuba, there was already a [email protected]

I tried and failed to post there. I assumed it was suffering the same growing pains as everywhere else, but after a few days of waiting I just created kbin.social/m/scuba

Oh yeah I guess I should clarify that I meant to say that they’re capable of displaying compassion (I’ve seen it). But this, obviously, was not compassion.
