Could be people just aren’t upvoting it, could be all the upvotes did not properly sync, or it could also be a crosspost from a different community or magazine that got the comment spillover but again, without people actually upvoting all of the crossposts.

Find a job you actually like!

Nope, I don’t have one.

They’re around but not nearly as bad as they are on sites like Reddit, Facebook, X, etc. They are also usually called out when someone is trying to circumvent the bot tag. It probably helps that Lemmy is much smaller, so there’s less incentive to send spambots to something like Lemmy compared to larger places.

That said, asudox is right in that there aren’t really any built in safeguards either, it’s pretty much up to the admins and/or mods to stop them.

Gliding is definitely my favorite, but that about sums it up. Still, I hope it gets a sequel or an expansion or something.

A Short Hike was fantastic! I don’t know that it necessarily lends itself to screwing around though.

On a semi-related note, Donut Country is also a lot of fun.

I once accidentally scryed in a puddle: I “saw” a scene outside my friend’s house with police cars and bad vibes. I called them to see if they were OK but they absolutely refused to talk about it, then I started getting threatened online. I tried talking to my friend’s cousin about it too, but she said she promised not to tell anyone. It turned out this friend’s brother got in trouble for domestic abuse after attacking her (I only found out years later). He was likely the one threatening me online.

My best guess is that somehow I subconsciously figured it out and the reflection in the puddle kinda acted as a focal point for putting together details I didn’t even realize I’d picked up. I’d always been pretty good at intuiting some kinds of information, but this was a whole different level. I also haven’t really experienced anything quite like it since.

Games I’ve enjoyed in terms of shenanigans:

-GTA 3-5

-Just Cause 3 (4 too, but it’s not as good)

-Untitled Goose Game

-BOTW

-Read Dead Redemption 2

-Saint’s Row 2-4

-Cyberpunk 2077 (driving is kinda meh, motorcycles are a little more fun)

-Watchdogs

-Elder Scrolls

-Teardown

Also, I haven’t played it, but I heard the new Indiana Jones game is fun with high shenanigan potential.

I got attacked by a mentally ill guy having some sort of freak-out: He came up, told me he was stressed out, then started punching me in the arm. I backed up just out of punching distance but still in kicking distance, squared off, and warned him to leave. Someone who was with him kinda dragged him off before he could close the gap again so things didn’t escalate past that, but my plan was to teep him in the guts/chest as hard as I could if he came at me again.

You are now a poop sherpa, thank you for your kind service.

Probably Vampire Survivors or Vampire Hunters: Sometimes it’s just nice to play something where you don’t really have to think too hard.

There are dozens, probably more like hundreds of different instances out there, all with different rules.

There’s extremists on Lemmy too, but they’re mostly on defederated instances like hexbear and lemmygrad or whatever it’s called now.

I still go to reddit and you are basically describing reddit itself: It’s a bunch of reposts. Not sure what you mean about “uncensored” exactly but if you’re talking about NSFW stuff, there’s instances that cater to that sort of thing here too.

You will get better results if you browse all and start subscribing to things you actually like, then set your filter to subscribed and you’re off to the races!

Look, I had a lot going on, so I kind of stole some flowers from someone’s yard on the way, but the other wise men caught me. It’s bullshit!

That would probably require some modifications…

Yeah, but you can though. Go spec your own gaming rig if you don’t believe me.

Also, again, there’s pretty much no way it’ll be $1,000.

Less than $1,000? Yes, why not? We’ll see what the price actually is, but I doubt it’ll be anywhere near that high. Valve was pretty smart about sourcing their parts for low cost and decent performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were closer to $500 even.

At $1,000 that’d be a hard pass for me even though I love Valve, I could easily build something better for less. I seriously doubt that’ll be the price too, it’ll probably around $600-800.

Hey, those are on my list too!
