Yeah, same. Getting past Guardians in BoTW required relying heavily on save scumming until I managed to get it right. Any fight that needed flurry rush was also always a disaster.

Not really, and I think that’s because in many games I play primarily to experience the world, find new items, and generally explore. The story itself usually takes a back seat and is rarely the thing driving me forward.

One counterpoint to that, off the top of my head, is Journey, which I always play through to the end scene.

Darks Souls 3, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Skyrim.

I love RPGs but hate boss fights, for some reason. Once I feel I’ve done enough exploration and character development, I invariably lose all interest close to the last boss.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.

It’s not exactly the same complaint at all. You got a single comment removed from a single thread by a single moderator.

The equivalent would be if the admin of lemmy.world stepped in and not only banned you from World News but also every single other LW community you posted in, out of spite.

I think you have a very different definition of “perfectly reasonable” than most people.

I’ve defended lemmy.ml in the past when people have blamed the entire instance for the actions of a solitary, overzealous moderator, but this genuinely concerns me:

This must have been action taken at the instance admin level, considering all those communities have different moderators.

Is there any way to probe the modlog to see which account it was?

According to research, the space between letters is more important for people with reading disabilities than rotational distinction.

Typefaces may affect web accessibility, but if you want to provide a better experience for readers, Comic Sans isn’t the only option. The best practice is to use a widely available font with no extra decorations or flourishes.

In addition to Comic Sans, the British Dyslexia Association recommends Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic, Trebuchet, Calibri, and Open Sans.

As are many other sans serif typefaces.

It’s acceptable in the following contexts:

• In a comic
• In content designed for children

That’s pretty much it.

Opus is the best lossy codec in terms of efficiency, but many devices/apps don’t properly support it.

Well, if we look at humans as a species then obviously the greater part of that is prehistorical. Clearly our “nature” is not incompatible with collectivism when looking at small communities and groups.

However, I think you have a point when it comes to more complex societies with increasingly larger populations, which, as a rule, have tended to form hierarchical class systems that are antithetical to collectivist ideals.

So we could say that humans have historically been fine with communism up to a certain point. It’s when they start to form nation states and larger communities that societies have generally gravitated towards hierarchy and plutocracy, for whatever reason.

You can’t just say “in .ml”, is my point. Which specific community?

If you’re talking about like say, worldnews@lemmy.ml, then I totally understand, but my point is that if we are talking about instances as a whole, then Lemmy.ml is quite mild in its “tankiness”.

Just to point out, Lemmy.ml isn’t really like that, with a few exceptions. Before the big influx of Reddit refugees, it used to be the default Lemmy instance, and so has quite a few non-political communities.

It’s Lemmygrad.ml that’s the super tanky echo chamber.

I don’t want to sound patronising, but you have access to the entirety of our species’ history

I mean, do you? You think early man was a rugged individualist who pulled himself up by his boot straps?

Homosapiens survived hundreds of thousands of years as a result of collectivism and sharing resources, which are the central tenets of communism. From a historical perspective, the ideas that underpin capitalism - private ownership, the elite controlling the means of production, individuals acting in their own self-interest - came about only very, very recently.

This didn’t happen to OP, and it isn’t recent - look at the report date.

This happened back in 2021 and apparently blew up on Reddit and Twitter, causing OpSec to release a public statement that claimed that the DMCA notice was a fake.

These are valid points, but I still think what sets apart the current situation from Iraq is 1) the scale and 2) the intent.

With regards to #1, bear in mind that those figures for Iraq are calculated over a period of fourteen years as opposed to just six months in Gaza. For the latter, the daily death rate is four times higher. Similarly, the fact that most of Northern Gaza is now an uninhabitable pile of rubble dwarfs even the destruction that occurred in Iraq. With regards to the genocidal language, the comment from Rumsfeld is a far cry from Isaac Herzog saying “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible,” for October 7th or Yoav Gallant saying “We are fighting human animals.”

As for #2, the vast majority of Palestinians are have been displaced southwards and are now basically trapped in Rafah with nowhere to go. The equivalent in Irag would have been for US to build a wall around Baghdad and prevented any women and children from leaving while they carried out their bombing campaigns. Also, the steps that Israel have taken to block humanitarian aid from getting to desperate and starving people sets the behavior apart from the US in Iraq. There’s also the sense of “collective punishment” in Gaza that wasn’t present in Iraq.

Again, I am still somewhat in two minds about use of the word, but I think there are still distinct differences that makes the current situation what the ICJ terms a “plausible genocide”.

FWIW, I have also been personally deliberating over whether Israel’s actions in Gaza are technically a Genocide as opposed to, say, ethnic cleansing (which it undeniably is, and has been for decades).

However, I can understand why the term is in widespread use at the moment regarding Gaza:

• The sheer scale of civilian deaths.
• Cutting off water, electricity and aid to civilian areas.
• Indiscriminate carpet bombing of civilian areas.
• Wholesale destruction of public infrastructure.
• Genocidal and dehumanizing language being used by Israeli government officials specifically towards the civilian population.

With Genocide, there has to be a discernable intent on wiping out the people themselves, not just their government.
