  • It’s good to see clips from Loops as the Fediverse is trying to get their competitor to TikTok and whatever the other competitors from Facebook and YouTube are called. Loops can be a good thing but it’s still very nascent, so I appreciate OP making posts for Loops content to try to inform others and spread awareness. But I’d rather see an occasional cat video or something, as on Lemmy I prefer reading over watching stuff. I’m not the target audience for short form videos.

    The short clip summarises the About page of GOG. https://www.gog.com/about_gog

    Cool to spread awareness for people that are on those platforms and enjoy swiping through short videos. But here? Nah we’re okay. Plus I speculate the majority on Lemmy knows the value of GOG compared to more public places like Reddit.











  • Kellog also married, never had sex with his wife or consummated their marriage, and the pair adopted like 30 kids or something like that.

    So clearly, corn flakes works. But ideally, corn starch is the way to keep those urges down.

    Keep them down, dude. “Conceal, don’t feel” as Elsa from Frozen would say (and seriously, do not feel because that specifically strengthens urges).







  • Since you said “up there for sure”, I guess that’s fine. My promise of riot has now simmered into measured acceptance.

    Like you’re at a restaurant waiting for your food. A waiter comes by and you think it’s your order and you start to get excited, but they move in a slightly different angle from you which instantly alerts you that it’s not your order. So now you have to temper your reactions and pretend that you were not fooled that your order was coming to you. This leads to you carefully measuring your movements and reactions in the event someone in the restaurant was observing you, so as not to impress upon them that you, a stranger, were deceived and instead were merely adjusting your posture while you waited patiently. That’s the level of measured acceptance I have right now.

    More seriously though - That’s a game I wanted to try out but never played. On my “next play” list I had Advance Wars on it, so I’ll toss FF Tactics on there to give it a go. I liked Fire Emblem on 3DS, and having not really played SRPGs before I did enjoy FE. Figure FF Tactics might be interesting and fun, so def will give it a go!



  • So wholesome watching the Star Wars Halloween Special. 🥰 I watch it every year. In the original movie, I think Anakin falls in fiery stuff and screams how much he hates someone, or something like that. But in the Halloween Special, he falls into Twizzlers and screams “I ate you!” at the Twizzlers, while some older dude on a mountain watches him with admiration and calls him his brother and how much he loves Twizzlers and Red Vines, too. He loves candy. Such a lovely moment, I cry every time with happiness.
