  • The gameplay is very good up until level 40 and is definitely one of the more complete early access games.

    So far I have not encountered any game breaking bugs, but the game itself does have tons of jank.

    Now I am currently level 47, and can say that leveling from 40 to 50 is a hella grind and takes a lot of time and resources. Mainly time, as getting end game pokeballs takes a massive amount of resources that only pals can harvest, process, and then craft.

    Also, the end game bosses are quite beefy and hit like a truck.





  • Just because you are made uncomfortable by a comparison does not invalidate it, nor should it be shunned unless it is factually incorrect. In many places the disabled and mentally ill are treated like animals or worse. Unfortunately alot of the world does not fall under our idea of “humane” and that should be recognized and utilized as a data point.








  • Couple questions:

    1. There was back and forth of “aged up” r34 characters being banned. What is the final decision on this? Should we expect admins to strike down any content of cartoon, comic book, manga, anime, and video game characters that don’t have a current canonical age matching the age they are currently being depicted as?

    (Annoyingly, 99% of the content that comes out of Japan is about teens and has to be aged up. Even if they don’t even look or act like highschoolers! Exhibit A: Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 3-5)

    1. Is a slime considered a fantasy animal?

    (I’m partially asking this because I think this rule/question is fucking hilarious, but also because it would basically nuke a fairly active community on here.)



  • Ha, man that sucks. Glad the transition went smoothly.

    TBH this place has some strict rules regarding content so I am surprised that an ISP would even care. I’m guessing since this instance still hosts LGBT content it could put someone in hot water in some more morally strict countries.

    First a back-end mod tries to poison the well. Now an admin tries to sabotage the servers. Seditionists everywhere!

    I am curious how you knew who reported the server? Did the ISP inform you, or did the ex-admin tell you afterwards as some act of defiance? And what even caused them to do this in the first place?


    Edit: Misread server provider as service provider. Please disregard the ISP related questions.


  • Yes, I understand that not everyone lives in the USA, which is why I specifically stated the USA as my point of reference. The admins were discussing the legality of hosting in earlier threads based on local laws. One of the places was in the USA since it has major server hosting capabilities.

    There are many other rules going into place other than a CP ban (which I completely understand a loli/shota ban). They are broadening the ban on any “aged-up” fictional characters which basically cuts out 90% of all rule34 anime art. Also, any non-humanoid character, which will rule out alot of fantasy/scifi based art.

    And where does one draw the line when catering towards the laws of other countries? Why not cater towards the Japanese and require all genitalia to be censored to abide by their laws? You are allowed to block things you don’t want to see and self censor, why impose such restrictions on others?

    I get that it is their server and they can do what they want. But I think many here were hoping for more self governance where the users block what they don’t want to see, not the admins.

    All these bans on fictional artwork is the oddest and most disappointing thing to me. IANAL and I know some are quoting legal restrictions, but I have not seen any legal enforcement of them on actual sites in the USA. For example, I have been a member of Newgrounds since it first started up and somehow that website, based in the USA, has been going strong for many years with basically no content restrictions on fictional art.

    I am glad to see a post like this with some internal transparency of the harsh bans to come. I will wait to see what the other admins post in regards to the new rules, but if it is anywhere close to the levels of what you are stating then I am sure the user base for this instance will suffer a big hit.

    I had such high hopes for this place too. But I am not here to tell the admins how to run their christian minecraft server.


  • I feel like this should be polled. Because, as you said, it is more of an annoyance than an actual issue. It is probably something as a community we would need to decide on.

    Personally, I am here to mainly browse All/New so I’m just going to be blocking them regardless of where they are posting.

    I have most of them all blocked now, but is was a little tedious logging on and seeing several new specific celebrity communities made each day with posts of just regular fully clothed people in my Local/New tab. It prolly wouldn’t be as annoying if there was just one community titled “celebs” with posts about all the random celebrities (easier to block). But man… someone is putting in the work to make an individual community for every single celebrity in existance.

    While the celebrity posts could be fetish thing, we should probably address questions like: Would it be acceptable if someone started a community here posting about farming or tractor repair? (Non-sexual)
