Ive used /r/penpals before with good results, as well as swapbot. Would highly recommend a po box.

Clicked on it and the first thing I saw is "women's bodies were meant for the male gaze"

I'm not a fan of lemmygrad at all but yeah thats wild lol

man its real interesting to see vintage stuff like this

Thank you for the neat website! This looks so cool

I felt the illegible scribblings in a journal because thats what I did when I was first starting to layout the setting. Even my maps look like that. I drew most of it in tuxpaint for that deranged feeling 🫣

I think that planning and keeping in mind what NPCs do through out makes the game feel "alive". I try to do something like that, though I'm not sure how good I am at it. At most I just make recurring characters appear where they might be when a player enters a building or a setting occasionally

this is exactly true (sorry if this is off topic and/or preaching to the choir).

This is also is why I'm often so wary about people who talk so loudly about being able to treat one anotherwell regardless of political beliefs. Sure it sounds good in a vacuum, and I'd agree with it otherwise but when the said politics often includes "trans people dont exist" and "marriage is for one man and one woman" that makes me feel less welcome. IMO human rights issues shouldn't even be a political contention but unfortunately thats the reality of the world we live in.

I zeroed on that too. Ive never thought or seen the very word "minorities" as a political dog whistle but I guess thats just sign of the times

(For real it does suck to be seen as political just for being)

discord is absolute trash for me no matter where I use it but alas the network effect keeps me on it. I'm only there because all of my friends are there😮‍💨

ive tried matrix with fluffychat a while back but somehow it was a little intimidating to me. besides I prefer forums, especially with strangers. chats feel too personal lol

I still use mastodon to this day, but I find I get more interaction rather than just lurking and viewing pictures here. Aka more actual conversation. It's easier to participate and not feel like you're posting to a void

Heres to new beginnings!! 💖🥳🥳

for me its going to be very melancholic to see something I've (unfortunately) spent years on. I will actually be sad to see it go, not the app itself but all the smaller communities and the wiki's and all the knowledge that was shared. It was inevitable but I didn't think it would be so soon or so quick.

At the same time, good riddance.

biphobia sucks, I'm really sorry people told u that

closeted but I thank god every day I'm bi regardless. genderwise I guess I'd rather not be nb but it is what it is 🤷. I'm more or less okay with what I am.

wouldn't it be amazing when all of spez's attempts to make reddit look pretty for shareholders completely fail so they ruined their community for absolutely nothing

I dont think you can make communities in beehaw

yeah I definetly agree. specifically because of the lack of algorithms or profit motives it won't be " addictive " nor as easy as traditional social media to find what I'm most likely to engage in. but it also means ragebait is less likely to be pushed to me, and for that, its actually quite fine...

im quite sick of the "few big websites" that the internet has become. I miss when there were a greater variety of forums, blogs and places to hang out, only supported through people's passions. and it seems to me federation goes back to those old times.

man that's really unfortunate, sorry to hear that. thank god that the default Lemmy website runs so nice.

I had the impression that the community was more or less conservative in the garden variety but I'm welcoming being wrong
