Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. It comes with a laughable 11 modules which you tire of after a couple weeks of playing. It's badly coded and its modding support is flimsy and haphazard. The developers are unreachable and uncooperative.

Without mods, you'd put down the game after a week and forget about it completely. With mods (created for free by the community) you now get a wealth of thousands of modules, but you also need multiple extra mods to get simple basic functionality that should be in the base game. Wanna play more than 100 modules? Game crashes on startup unless you install the Tweaks mod. Wanna play just the modules that your friends enjoy? Gotta mess around with Steam workshop subscriptions for hours unless you install the Mod Selector mod. Wanna play a specific set of modules you like? Good luck getting the right RNG, unless you install the DMG mod. Wanna play more than one bomb? Needs the Multiple Bombs mod. Some modules are genuinely unplayable unless you get the Boss Module Manager mod, which in turn relies on a volunteer-run external website to be running and to be constantly updated by volunteers. Even Camera Zoom is a separate mod!!

99% of the game is made for free by volunteers, and yet it's the garbage 1% that everyone has to pay for. It's a travesty.

And not all Germans were Nazis in 1939.

Anyone else thought the headline (“bloodbath”) was saying there were actual deaths and that this hypersensationalistic reporting is irresponsible?

The jurors are heros. Let's make sure nothing happens to them.

Rad.

Will it make a difference though?

I predict that Europeans will look upon the drawn-out and comedic campaign with smug disdain and self-satisfaction... and proceed to explain away their own increased support for right-wing nationalism and fascism. One day, we will all wake up and realize that we dun goofed but it's too late.

I was actually kind of confused at first about the liquid and bar soap thing. I've used bar soap to wash my hands all my life, and for nothing else. To wash the whole body during a shower, I use liquid soap (called shower gel) and I would find bar soap unwieldy. Moral of the story: your insistence on using one vs the other is entirely cultural.

Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

Almost all dinosaur-centric film/TV of the 90s-2000s imply (or state outright) that the dinosaurs are now extinct. As a result, this remains a deeply held and ubiquitously perpetuated misconception. Paleontologists have suspected since the 70s, and known for sure since at least the 2000s, that the avian theropod dinosaurs survived and became modern-day birds. Therefore, birds are dinosaurs. Wikipedia is pretty clear on this.

she wants to be seen as a person, not for her disability

... Entire article is about her disability

This obviously assumes that you know exactly what metadata you want to eliminate and how to view it.

The OP’s whole point of asking is that they don't know the former.

Even in the 2000s I never understood that fascination for uptime and how it has somehow come to be seen as a badge of honor. What's the purpose of bragging with how much power you're wasting?

What IRC servers still exist that allow random people like me to just join but have interesting people and channels and not just trolls and spam?

Is there a way to convert a link to a post on another instance, into a Kbin link to the same post?

Basically, imagine someone links me to a post on Lemmy.ml or Beehaw.org, and I wish to reply to it but from my kbin.social account. What's the easiest way to do that?

Having trouble getting onto Lemmy.

I’m really liking Kbin sofar. I hope this will grow to become a true Reddit alternative. However, I’m also trying to give Lemmy a go. I’ve registered on two Lemmy servers (lemmy.ml and tchncs.de) but neither will let me log in. The “Log in” button on the login page just spins forever, and the Network tab in the browser console shows that it doesn’t actually do anything. The “Forgot password” link is similarly dead. Has anyone seen this? Is there anything I can do or do I need to wait for the devs to fix this? Excuse my ignorance, I’m completely new to the Fediverse but I’m very excited about the project.
