For those of you using multiple ShittyGaming Lounges: how do you decide which hot takes to drop in the subreddit, Discord, or Lemmy?

I like to post some exclusive content to Lemmy just to attract more people over here

boot@lemmy.loungerat.io · 7 pts · 3y

tbh i just keep all my hottest takes to myself because to do otherwise would be irresponsible

zyl@lemmy.loungerat.io · 5 pts · 3y

I think rn I only have my first top-level comment on here, but even on the reddit I mostly just reply to other people's comments now. mostly I just use the discord

I've seen some other people dual-posting between the reddit and discord but not the lemmy so far though

DoctorProfessor@lemmy.loungerat.io · 4 pts · 3y

Wondering how lemmy works? Post to lemmy

Cat pictures? Post to discord

Everything else? Reddit

BestKiwiEver@lemmy.loungerat.io · 4 pts · 3y

I deleted my reddit account so that's not an option anymore

the discord has channels and threads for almost anything I ever talk about

except for the most random and general stuff, which will probably wind up here. #general doesn't really have that SGL vibe imo, it feels exactly like a #general discord channel lmao

I scored this rad bakelite phone from the 30s, my inner "kid who is a little too into trains" self has been very happy with my purchase

I have a really bad joke that I need to get out of my head, and since nobody's here it's a perfect place to throw it into the void.

A father and son have a car accident and are both badly hurt. They are both taken to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for an operation, the doctor says "I can not do the surgery because I think you've misheard me when I was hired. I AM A STURGEON! I AM A STURGEON! I AM A STURGEON, DR HAN! I AM A STURGEON!"

Honestly I feel like I like it better here without the rest of reddit around being super fuckin weird and shitty. Though it kinda seems like a lot of the people from the subreddit aren't interested in moving over here, so idk.

zyl@lemmy.loungerat.io · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

might get more people over here if something else happens with reddit again

or maybe it’ll mostly be moving to the discord again, idk

pickelsurprise@lemmy.loungerat.io · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I'm on the discord as well, but I feel like most channels just move too fast for me. Like I step away for an hour and there's already 300 unread messages and I have no idea what's going on anymore. I can't just drop a shit take there and expect people to actually react to it before it gets buried.

zyl@lemmy.loungerat.io · 2 pts · 3y

yeah, the discord's very different. more of a flow of conversation that leads wherever and might just completely pass over something at random

the secondary general chats are usually slower, but not always. sometimes you just have to bring something up again later if no one talked about it the first time

I should continue with my Kingdom Hearts journey. My goal is to eventually get all achievements in all games, which will probably take another year if I start again now. My current progress is:

  • KH1: beaten on Proud and within 15 hours, nothing else done besides the main story, still need to do a run without changing equipment.

  • Chain of Memories: gave up on Floor 13 when they introduced enemies that are immune to magic. I firaga'd/blizzaga'd my way through the game so I will probably have to start over and account for that from the beginning.

  • KH2: beated on Critical, haven't done any post-game stuff

  • BBS: fucking hated this game for some reason. I could barely bring myself to finish each character on normal, I will have to push through Proud somehow

  • everything else: I've yet to start.

I was thinking about maybe playing Melody of Memory as I go along with the games, could be a fun little distraction. But yeah, I still have a loooong way to go for sure

Switched to the default theme based on your local light/dark theme

The old one wasn't rendering the admin panel correctly and our federation was kinda borked as a result

BuoyantTrain37@lemmy.loungerat.io · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I haven't been following the Threads stuff too closely so I didn't realize they were planning to federate it. Interesting that one of the big social media companies is trying to get into this and I'm curious what that's going to look like.

Already considering just adding Threads to the blocklist but we'll see how it goes.

inexplicablehaddock@lemmy.loungerat.io · 5 pts · 3y

Being honest, they're probably only saying it because "fediverse" is the current buzzword. If they do wind up doing fediverse integration (assuming they don't ditch it for the next buzzword); I'd be prepared to bet it'll be a closed garden where Threads instances are only able to federate with other Threads instances.

I'd also advise blocking Threads; if nothing else than for the fact that some instances are talking about defederating any instances that federate with Threads.

boot@lemmy.loungerat.io · 5 pts · 3y

I'm down to block threads

zyl@lemmy.loungerat.io · 4 pts · 3y

honestly please do block it. it’s impossible to moderate properly for individual instances and they’re certainly not going to do it

it’s really not worth the trouble of blocking them later once they’ve been established

I've applied the recommended solution for this attack, and I'm confident that we weren't affected. I've disabled custom emoji for the time being as an extra precautionary measure, and am keeping my eye on a suitable rc for the latest security patches

zyl@lemmy.loungerat.io · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

0.18.2-rc.1 fixes it and is out. idk where you normally get patches from but the github has a tag with the fix

it's crazy how some lyrics are burnt into my brain even if I haven't heard a song in years. I just remembered Mr Blue Sky exists after like 7 years, and after some humming I got most of the lyrics right.

I want to try some weird japanese KitKat flavors

does anyone have any specific recommendations, otherwise I might just grab what's available online

boot@lemmy.loungerat.io · 3 pts · 3y

The green tea ones are dope

The white sake ones are pretty good to

pickelsurprise@lemmy.loungerat.io · 3 pts · 3y

I always like cookies and cream, though I've never actually tried the kitkat version of it so idk if it's actually any good. I did however eat a lot of "panda" pocky when I was in Japan.

BuoyantTrain37@lemmy.loungerat.io · 3 pts · 3y

The best one I ever had was an Apple Pie flavor that was purple for some reason. I think it's available in the fall, around Halloween.

I want to build the bunker from Supernatural in Minecraft but the only blueprints I can find online are for one floor only.

There's supposed to be at least another floor and a garage :(

Also I'm not sure if I want to build it in a server with friends or in singleplayer, my friends keep wiping servers out so loosing that would suck

Edit:

Ok I've found this and this
