Possibly because I know nothing about tarot, some of these connections seem odd to me (Zorayas as the sun? Fia as judgement? Blaidd as the chariot??) That said, the artwork is beautiful. Nephali as Temperance is probably my favorite. Great work!

Sorry, I don’t use wefwef. In the main browser, you can navigate to the community and the “block” button is right below the “subscribe” option.

Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a “rule” that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn’t cluttered.

I don’t love this example because enjoyment of the object isn’t really a cost. If I buy a book or a videogame or a movie, the time it takes to enjoy the media is the value, not the cost.

If you’re talking about maintenance and upkeep on your car, that is a different type of cost that has to be weighed against the cost and time expenditure of a bus pass or whatever your alternative was.

In other words I feel like this is a catchy phrase that kind of falls apart once you start to dig at it.

I feel like there’s a lot more to this than “pay it twice”. If you’re talking purely in dollars, then you’ll want to consider maintenance and upkeep over the expected lifetime of the object and compare that to alternatives. Additionally, everything has an opportunity cost because no resource is limitless and you could have allocated it elsewhere. Finally, emotional and other intangible benefits are something that most people have a very difficult time quantifying.

If you want to say “consider more than just the purchase price” then I’m with you.

I’ve tried a number of different weapons for my (un-optimized, PVE only) arcane build but I keep coming back to Elonara’s poleblade as the most fun. The double-handed move set feels fantastic, it applies bleed well, the Ash of War can initiate and then make space by retriggering. And the charged R2 is so damn satisfying. Throw in Flame Grant Me Strength and maybe a dragon incantation or two and it’s a very versatile setup- at least for PVE.

I agree with the spirit of this 100% and will support any way I can. I only hope the implementation is free of trolls, bots, and other bad actors.

I don’t love this idea either but let’s tone the hostility down eh? Got a friendly community here, let’s keep it that way.

If all you’re trying to do is limit bots and trolls, just make your $10 a required donation to help with hosting costs. I’m sorry but this sounds like yet another blockchain solution in search of a problem.

And who decides what counts as bad behavior worth forfeiting funds? Sounds ripe for corruption.

This is hugely personal to your own interests. Personally I am subscribed to communities around news, science, gaming, whiskey, and my favorite sports team. You can always use the community browser to look for something specific or just keep an eye on the “all” listing to see if something catches your eye.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve never played the Armored Core series but this has me wanting to check it out.

I naively want to believe that this won’t be an issue for most users having most conversations. But out of curiosity can you link what the ban list actually contains?

Like a lot of new users I’m only here because Reddit killed the app I used. I don’t like the official Reddit app. But if I’m honest, it’s still a better experience than Lemmy right now. You can’t deny that Lemmy has less content and more warts.

Like any early adopter, I’m here for the potential. For what I hope this can one day become. That’s not something a majority of people care about. If/when Lemmy reaches parity for “normal” users, attitudes will change quickly.

So just sort of “preserve the knowledge of mankind” sort of thing? Prevent society from having to re-invent the wheel? Sounds like an interesting challenge, best of luck with it.

I mostly lurked on Reddit as well. In the large communities, you could predict what the responses would be already and anything that wasn’t tailored to what the hive wanted to hear would be buried. And why bother posting your journeyman-level knowledge of a topic when some expert in the field (real or imagined) was surely right behind you?

My advice - find a topic you care about, a hobby you have, and talk about it. Maybe you won’t be the best comment on the thread. Who cares? This probably won’t be the best reply you get either. If you helped one person out, even a little, wasn’t it worth your time?

You can search for existing communities using the community browser.

I’m not even certain what all “Datahording” entails but !datahoarder@lemmy.ml appears to be one such community.

Some of this feels like a bit of a reach to me. Color is very important from a game design perspective in order to help players intuit mechanics - health potions being red, for instance. It’s helpful that gravity magics are all colored purple, which is a hint that they are doing physical damage to magic-resistant enemies such as Rennala. But I don’t think that this means that gravity magic is inherently related to sleep magic as this video claims.

I mean sure, they can take their toys and go home. It’s their instance; it’s their prerogative. I guess I just don’t understand why anyone would want to be invested in a tiny little dictatorship where four admins run every single community.

Ok so help me understand here. The root post is Beehaw complaining that their four admins can’t handle the new influx of users. But isn’t that the entire point of moderators? Shouldn’t each community be responsible for dealing with trolls, etc? From what I’ve seen of Beehaw, they’re attempting to have the same handful of admins moderate every single community, which was never going to be sustainable and IMHO misses the entire point of this sort of experience.
