They got the roads, now they get the belt.

No, I meant my garbage music taste as in the classic Hank Hill "Mother of God, it's all toilet sounds!"

I joined the Discord. Now, let's see if I can spread my garbage music taste.

HL3 is unlikely to ever happen. I can't see a groundbreaking innovation for the FPS genre in the near future that would meet the incredible expectations for, probably, the most hyped up game at this point in time.

We might get more Half-Life games once we reach the point of uploading your consciousness into the game, or similar. And even then those would be like HL: Alyx. Fun fact: Did you know modern VR headsets have been around for a decade, give or take? And they still aren't widely adopted.

Mine would be on saturdays, but I haven't celebrated in years, so...

Pokemon games have always had more or less the same structure. You moved into a new town/region with your mother. You get a pokemon from the professor. Your rival/friend takes the pokemon with type advantage/disadvantage. You start walking, catch pokemon, battle trainers, reach the next city, fight a gym battle, find ot there's a "team X" who are criminals who want to utilize something to manipulate and control a legendary pokemon to realize their criminal goals (often disguised as doing the world a favor in some way, shape or form), they succeed and get stopped by the pre-teen who casually defeats hordes of mooks, leaders, and in-universe gods, and then carries on to fight the top trainers in the region like it's just another tuesday.

There are some variations to this, such as Gen3 having two teams, or sun/moon where there were no gyms, just juiced up regular pokemon. If you've played one of then, you basically have played them all. The best thing about Pokemon is actually just catching them and battling. The story has been the same, with largely the same characters and tropes.

Back on the other website this recipe was known as the "upvote soup" and afaik it spawned a time where this was used to farm karma and counted as vote manipulation because it used to include upvote in the name.

Might be wrong tho, as I didn't participate in that community during those times. Nowadays it's just known as "the soup".

The quality of reddit posts outside of niche communities or events has tanked a lot. Most of the stuff at the top is AITA(H), the most basic questions, and reposts, with some short video clips and the occasional comic. Doesn't help that it is known that someone is using LLMs for bot accounts.

I'll be honest, I am still browsing Reddit, though in a more limited fashion. I deleted all my submissions and comments and refuse to post or comment, no matter how strong the urge to correct misinformation regarding topics I am interested in is. Communities for those topics are generally non-existent, got created and withered within a month of the 3rd-Party-Exodus, or in the case of /r/leagueoflegends and its local mirrors, are generally carried by the eSport scene and there is generally no decent discussion to be had outside of that. And I don't even know if one of the League communities here even does post-match threads.

Images load on my PC as expected. When browsing Lemmy via Firefox on my phone I can also load and see images from those specific servers (at least sh.itjust.works the other one is down).

Specifically using Connect to view an image from those instances (currently sh.itjust.works as the other seems to be down) results in the image not loading.

Didn't know, but this problem occured ever since I first noticed that images from both named server just don't load.

I should of known better, but I could care less.
