I’m not switching to Vivaldi, but it is refreshing to see someone say “I didn’t put X in the product because people don’t want X in the product.”

Welcome! It can be a pretty fun place around here

I still design my personal web pages like we’re in the modem days. Mostly text, and the images are highly compressed jpegs with tons of artifacting. No javascript. It’s a lot of fun

I’m just using pass on Linux. Haven’t figured out a good way to access my passwords through it on mobile yet, but I avoid using my smartphone when at all possible so I haven’t been particularly motivated to find a solution to that

I hate that I upvoted this, but it’s the frustrating truth

Proton seems okay still at the moment, but with their growing in scope and success I imagine it’s only a matter of time

I knew trouble was brewing when they started adding the little corporate cute waving graphics and stuff to the UI. Glad I already migrated away

I got worried the first time they started giving the UI all the rounded corners and more clicks to get anywhere or get anything done. Now there are corpo-cute little waving hand graphics and stuff in the UI. I’ve been migrating to local “pass” because these are always bad signs for a product

What a splendid fellow

I did that this week, highfive! It was surprisingly easy to do

It’s cool how different people like different things. I think a lot of the appeal is the simulated escape from the dominant flavor of soulless daily corporate drudgery, to something that feels more grounded and community based. Of course it’s just a shallow simulation but escapism is a huge part of gaming in general.

There’s also the quaint pixel art and soundtrack and cozy vibes mixed with some not so cozy aspects like most of the characters having flaws and being imperfect.

My family makes fun of me (lightheartedly) when we play multiplayer because I pretty much just fish, forage, and chill. That’s my escape fantasy, I don’t need to be maximizing profits and getting the biggest house. That’s another nice thing about the game, you can play your own way at your own pace without setting off some lose condition.

All that said, of course not everyone will like the game. Humanity is awesome in its diversity, take it easy out there pard

Good grief. This is such a goofy time to be alive

Let’s start a club

I don’t know man, I’m not a fan of infinite scroll

Heck yeah brother! Not in Nottingham is another good one to play

I also love that my wife got me a shirt with Skippy brandishing his wooden sword and his quote “DEATH TO TYRANTS!” on it. She’s a keeper for sure

I make it easy, I sit right out in the open by my sign playing songs from subversive pro terrorist media like Disney’s Robin Hood

Return to Pidgin

Glad people who like the UI can get it in Matrix too but personally yeah, the Discord UI has never been one I’ve liked. Way to insist on being fullscreen at all times

Can’t wait til they’re blasted and shredded

Stay strong partner
