  • I do agree that being closed source is a detractor to the game, but Stardew is also closed source. The comment, to me, implied that Stardew is open source, lol. The point seems orthogonal to a comparison critique of the inspiration game. Unless we are implying that games should be open source, complete, and available through other platforms generally and critique games from that point of view. I’m curious if there is any games that exist that fit that description? A game that is a cozy, charming farm simulator, is open source (GPL V3 if I can have my way), is in a source forge that would put it in a more mature development state, and is available pre-compiled outside of steam? That would be a game to behold. Perhaps if the developers see this traction, they may choose to implement some of these ideas. I think the game looks cute. I’ll have to take a look.




  • I use this instance daily and I really like it. The experience is exactly what I’m about, audhder and sharing data. I think that I typically discover new communities by the community having a really legit post that pops up in the hot feed. I would really like if there was better discoverability of cool communities, or even a big list of all the communities so that I could browse through the less active ones that have good posts from the past. @db0 you’re doing a really good job. My main technical gripe is that the Jerboa client does not search by post and only searches by community but that isn’t a instance level issue. That’s a developer issue for the Lemmy client. I mention it here in case you ever get a chance to bend the ear of the Lemmy developers. Now that I’m thinking of it, a hub for other fetaverse stuff to hook up to would be pretty cool or just resources in general for how to navigate fediverse. That might be outside of the scope of a runner of an instance, but the learning curve I think would be a little less steep if there was some Lemmy/Fediverse onboarding kind of built into a mega thread for new users. Overall you’re doing great, keep it up! Thanks!









  • Well let me tell you, the market is already taking care of this need. There is a long established tradition in the US military of partners for our servicepeople being stay at home people. I have witnessed people get divorced from one enlisted person and marry another within a short time span. I’m not assigning moral value to this set of actions, but I think the gf from the state meme kind of already exists, but it’s implicit. Making that some form of guarantee would be pretty heinous in my opinion because it would be likely to break the assortative mating that we humans are so fond of (we sort into mating categories for absolutely good reason). The power to date/mate outside of your league is typically reserved for higher-ups in power hierarchies. The tantalizing promise that the underlings in these hierarchies can get that power is one of the main lures ised to get people to support fascism. I think the logic goes: If the boss has all the power in the world and needs me, the common goon, to secure that power, then the boss is likely to toss a few crumbs of power to me. I might be able to date outside of my league, one or two rungs. I can stand the boss breaking the natural order because I’m assuming that I will get to one day be the boss or I will be rewarded by the boss with some power. I went to Dubai and visited the big water park there. The population there is heavily stratified. The couple makeup was almost exclusively what I would describe as fat guys with supermodel wives. It breaks the assortative mating that makes up the natural order. I would suggest to anyone thinking that state-sponsored-girlfriends shoulds like a good idea ask if you yourself would like to date under your league without corersion. If not, then any dating arrangement other than the normal one is immoral. And now for some unsolicited some dating advice: the best way to date out of your league is to move up out of your league by cultivating yourself.
