Usually I'd post this to !breadtube@slrpnk.net, but unfortunately slrpnk will be down for a while, and figured I'd share it here in the meantime.

Is this community only for higher level discussions? I think for people newer to anarchism it's a good encapsulation of the concept it tackles.

Kind've an odd suggestion, but if you like more arcade-y type games, and think you'd an enjoy a more advanced sorta spiritual successor to dig-dug, I'd recommend checking out Mr.Do! On the SNES. Weirdly good.

Sunset Riders is a fun and short western arcade shooter, as is Wild Guns.

There's also a pretty neat Shadowrun RPG on the SNES.

Trillium Notes Next is a good open-source obsidian alternative without the bullet points of logseq.

That'd actually be pretty rad if it's doable, especially now that the API for piefed was released and mobile apps are already beginning to support it.

I wouldn't be too surprised if reddit was doing some action to keep Lemmy down (like down ranking posts that mention or link to Lemmy in their algorithm), but I don't think lemm.ee shut down from any outside force attacking them, I think it was far more mundane.

A few things probably contributed:

1. Lemm.ee was the second biggest instance, that's going to attract a fair amount of drama and trolls no matter how you slice it. If you don't have enough mods or admins to deal with that load, it can be overwhelming.

MrKaplan of Lemmy.world mentioned that .world is able to handle their size effectively due to ensuring they have enough active mods to handle their communities so there's less load for the admins, perhaps lemm.ee did not.

2. Their policy of non-defederation likely increased their drama and report burden, as some instances are known to have more toxic users than others, making defederation a powerful tool to make things manageable and quiet that report notification.

Combined with a lack of fresh admins to rotate out the ones getting burned out, and you've got a potent recipe to make the whole thing super un-fun and feel like an unappreciated slog of a job.

I decided to throw Mega man Legends 2 on my miyoo mini, as I had fond memories of renting the first game as a kid, and never tried the sequel.

It's an odd spinoff of the Megaman series that turns it into a 3rd person dungeon delving shooter, complete with story and fully voice acted 90's anime style in-game cutscenes!

Thoughts on the sequel:

It has some improvements over the original, such as the ability to fly around the main ship on a world map! I liked the globe trotting aspect (the OG takes place in one city), and the art style and controls were pretty good.

It held my attention for about 4 or 5 hours, until I came across an underwater level, where things went downhill.

Even equipped with a missable underwater specific speed upgrade ability, movement speed underwater was cut to about a third of normal speed, and this was combined with large open spaces and the need to throw around some finicky boxes to reach high ledges sometimes were dead ends.

I just don't have the tolerance for that sort of thing like I used to, so I deleted it and finished it by watching the cut scenes on YouTube! The ending is pretty cringe, so I'm glad I bailed, honestly.

We will! Unfortunately there's just no way to fix the problem until the server owner gets back home in a few weeks. But we're absolutely comin' back.

Here's the post from our Admin on what happened: https://feddit.org/post/13613230

Yarr, thank ye kindly, Lazy :p

Good stuff, Sergio! :D

As a matter of fact it does, actually 😅

Paul Harrell tested birdshot at 100 yards. It fails to penetrate a t-shirt, and gets very few hits at that range.

LuckyGunner tested Buckshot at 100 yards. It was still deadly, but few pellets will hit.

Shotgun Slugs are effective out to 100 yards.
