Welcome! It's a bit slow around here compared to reddit but the vibes are chill. ๐
I love cbu3 leaning into the Phoenix as their mascot, glad we're finally getting the coil version as a mount.
Soon as I find some time to figure out lemmy bots, I'd like to automate this kind of thing - unless you want to keep doing it manually! ๐
That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there's almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I've been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.
I hope they never stop producing these, I need a full shelf of xiv lore.
Thanks for the reply. I've been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren't constantly on top of things.
As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance's stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don't allow. I wouldn't think you'd want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.
Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?
Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the "hardcore" crowd into their own community, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
The REAL real tragedy would be losing r/shitpostxiv ๐คฃ
We're definitely due another job that uses scouting gear at least. I'm guessing the second one will be a caster, though I wouldn't be surprised if we just get one new job per expansion going forward.
I don't think it will happen, but I'd love to see the resources that would go into a second new job get applied to the existing jobs and make each of them feel a bit more unique.
Daily might be a bit much, but I'm looking into a way to set up episode discussion bots for both here and !gundam@possumpat.io. I think two series, one episode a week might be a good starting place?
In the meantime, feel free to run whatever discussion threads you like though!
Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it's okay to say you didn't enjoy something.
I'd discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying "Voyager sucks" let's try "Voyager didn't work for me because it was too episodic" (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).
I'd suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.
ULTRAKILL is the most fun I've had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it's super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you're good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.
Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc
possumpat.io is the instance this community is hosted on. It's a (bad) domain name joke๐
We're set on moderators for now, though thanks for your interest.
