Frame it with an engraving telling the story. That’s an awesome piece of history to have, but you would definitely need to display it in some way that immediately communicates “this is historical”.

Oh yeah, so it’s just junk.

If it were actually from WWII, I’d say there’s no reason not to hold on to a piece of history, but if it’s just neo-nazi garbage? I agree with the others saying modify it or toss it.

I’d press it a few times. In the end, I think I’d care way more about never working again for the rest of my life than being a guy.

I stream it

Oh yeah, Steve called the manufacturer about that, and they’re supposed to be sending someone out this month. Maybe next. Our deepest apologies for the inconvenience.

No, the system won’t allow us to discount or refund.

I had to deal with their T&S for my account being locked once. It was indeed a nightmare.

I consider myself pretty reserved and knew that I had never said or shared anything even remotely problematic, so I appealed, and they denied the request without even looking at it, then refused to respond to further questions (or even tell me what I supposedly did). It took me publicly complaining about the whole ordeal on social media for about a week for someone at discord to notice, look at my case, and finally realize a mistake had been made and unlock my account. They still never explained what happened.

I think it’s much less intimidating to new users now compared to when I joined last year. The barrier to entry has been reduced significantly.

There are tons of active communities now, mobile apps that work great (this is a big one), and many more tools to block content that you don’t want to see.

Discord support is the absolute worst. I hope to never have to deal with them again.

Hmm, never heard of that one, but I’ll look it up!

It depends on what you’re into, but I love turn-based tactics/strategy games, so the XCOM series (and the numerous games influenced by it) are top notch for me. I like the gameplay loop of completing turn after turn, with the ability to easily get up and do something else if I get distracted at any time.

For more of an action game, my favorites are the Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, etc. The challenge is unmatched, and there are no waypoints or quest logs to make you feel like you’re mentally juggling a dozen tasks at once (which I find exhausting and off-putting). I like being able to just pick up the controller and simply know that I need to make progress in that direction.

I do also enjoy competitive multiplayer games, but I haven’t liked the direction that those have gone in recent years: with battle passes, dailies, and grindfests, I’d rather avoid getting trapped in that FOMO cycle, so I don’t have one that I play at the moment. (Unless you count online chess, lol)

Public opinion seems to be souring on all the big corporate social media sites, and I truly think if we’re able to get the word out about federated social media platforms, people will jump ship.

Also, it’s hard to dislike a platform that isn’t showing ads, selling user data, or generally making decisions for the enrichment of shareholders.

I deal with this too. I’ve accepted that there’s a sweet spot for the types of games I enjoy, and I generally stay in that zone.

First, the short-term gameplay loop has to be rewarding enough, which cuts out a lot of tedious “shopping list of waypoints” type of games and ones that are heavily story-driven with boring/tedious gameplay in between story beats.

Second, the upper limit needs to be right below the Skinner-boxes of dopamine traps. No gachas, no games with daily grinding, and I try to mostly stay away from MMOs these days. I know that I’ll get trapped in the dopamine loop and play them, even if I’m not actually having fun.

So what happens now?

Fines? Community service? Jail? Nothing?

I’m invested in this now.

The app devs didn’t expect this kind of problem, haha.

Ah, gotcha. It went right over my head… whoops. Lol

…is it a repost? I scrolled back a bit and didn’t see it.

(edit: oh wait, did you mean the original original post, like he’s stuck in a fish bowl?)

For anyone who sees this as an (understandably) confusing thing for someone to post, it’s a meta joke on /c/lemmyshitpost at the moment. Just trying to get ahead of any more reports.

Context:

I’m trying to remember what game I had a very similar experience in, but I’m drawing a blank… Maybe WoW?
