A bottle of water. Wash yourself back there. Yes, like properly with your hand, like what you do in the shower. A lot more hygienic.

No, it’s not “disgusting” doing that. You go back there with toilet paper anyway. You think shit moisture doesn’t get on your hand when using toilet paper?

It is if you want to use it for that.

If everyone that cares about your game is already there, it’s much simpler to use Discord to drop an announcement.

It’s only trapped on Discord if one refuses to ever join Discord. Most people playing games use Discord, so that’s not a real issue for them.

Making things searchable, such as problems and solutions, is dependent on how well managed a community is; over the years I’ve had plenty of issues trying to find something on a forum simply because something like keywords, and tagging didn’t exist or wasn’t enforced, or bug reports were regelated to a single forum thread.

The same it is with Discord. If you’re smart you’ll create a “forum” channel for bug and issue reports and force users to use tags as a rule.

Discord isn’t friction as most developers and gamers use Discord regularly. You refusing to use Discord makes you a tiny minority. So it’s friction for you, and you personally.

These same people want an online live discussion about the issues in the game. This again makes you part of a tiny minority that doesn’t want that.

Since you’re part of a minority, developers lose nothing by your lack of interest in the Discord community they’ve created. A game certainly won’t fail if you choose to ignore Discord. Rather, a game is likely to fail if there doesn’t exist any Discord community for it.

I know this is very unpopular, but something like Discord is very much preferable for real-time conversations than a forum. The interactions with developers and players is a lot more natural, and having a voice chat is always nice.

Discord can also have separate chat rooms about specific issues that can be tagged and searched.

So the functionality of discord is second to none. The only real issue with discord is enshitification. It is very enshitified, and the only way to mostly circumvent that is to have a custom discord client.

If only Matrix was as fully-functional and easy to install and use with just a click.

Eh…

Miniclip.com.

Sure you could go there still now. But it’s an empty husk of what it was before. Flash died without any viable replacement for all the old flash games that relied on it.

The comedic timing of this strip is actually really good.

No. No one can.

Popular to bully. I was curious about everything. I wanted to learn things. My favorite book was a science encyclopedia, and I was always eager to help others understand something.

My classmates always came to me with questions during class. I got trashed and bullied during break or after school. I basically had no friends.

Oh no! The potential that someone is mocking me, behind my back, without me witnessing or knowing it, really keeps me awake at night!

I mean, really. If you’ve gone so far as to block someone, do you even care that they’re mocking you?

If so, why? And are you aware that someone can mock you, or spread crap about you behind your back, without explicitly needing the ability to comment on your threads?

When you have blocked someone, and they comment on your post, do they come to your front door and start yelling?

Are they standing across the road with a large, vulgar sign?

Do you get a phone call?

Do you in any way get notified?

Can you even see their comment?

If you answer “no” to the above, then you are left alone. They are no longer your concern. If you’re still concerned, then that’s a problem in your head.

But they are leaving you alone. You can’t see their comment if you blocked them. They could be screaming like a monkey with rabies and you’ll never notice.

If the idea that they can still comment bothers you, then you indeed want to punish them, rather than just ignore them.

It doesn’t, which is refreshing. A lot of personal ego and insecurity is tied to those that care about how many upvotes they have.

My concern is that something like OP posted just brings that crap over here, albeit not in an integrated fashion.

I don’t get it. Is this the Lemmy version of Reddit’s karma?

Fucking christ, imagine actively rubbing glucose, sucrose, and citric acid on your teeth.

What’s wrong with these people?

False advertising. There are way more than 15 beans in that bag!

Like, does it actually just have candy inside, or is it regular toothpaste with a candy flavour?

You know, I actually don’t think it’ll be a good idea to kill people who are only powerful because they can talk. The more I think about it, the more I think they’ll be turned into martyrs by their followers. It’ll only embolden them.

So, something that really upsets the world in a tangible way would be…

Shooting more CEOs. And bankers.

Andrew Tate, though that may be dangerous as he’ll probably turn into a martyr.
