Most don't want to have to learn Latin or paleontology to get a joke. Most don't want to have to take time and effort to figure out how mastodon works.
Fine for me, I don't need a ton of people on my social media ( hence why I'm here) but I'm wonder if it'll ever reach critical mass with its barriers to entry.

Comment on Buying a game from a director that you really have problems with (Kingdom Come) in ~games
Drynyn Link ParentTo me, there's a wealth of content out there, games especially. I could probably never buy a new game and die before I work through my steam backlist. So while there may be some FOMO, I don't mind...To me, there's a wealth of content out there, games especially. I could probably never buy a new game and die before I work through my steam backlist.
So while there may be some FOMO, I don't mind avoiding a game, or at least grab it for a fiver a few years from now.

Comment on There is no safe word: How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades in ~books
Drynyn Link ParentI think the issue is that it is noise, not signal, which this place is adverse to. (It's why we have the noise labels).

Anything more after that is a nice bonus. Doesn't always happen ofc.
I find using this https://goblin.tools/ can help break down some barriers.

Comment on What moderate countries are left to emigrate to? in ~travel
Drynyn Link ParentAs an immigrant to Scotland I find that the weather is not as bad as the Scottish like to make out. What was a bigger impact was the lack of daylight in the winter months.As an immigrant to Scotland I find that the weather is not as bad as the Scottish like to make out.

Drynyn Link ParentI just love it how Art doesnt have some tragic backstory like some slasher villains. They are just out for a good time. They are living their best life.I just love it how Art doesnt have some tragic backstory like some slasher villains. They are just out for a good time. They are living their best life.

Comment on How do you listen to your favorite obscure music that never made it onto any streaming platforms? in ~music
Drynyn LinkGoogle music gives you some storage to upload music to your personal library. Only you can access it but it syncs across devices etc. https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9716522?hl=en...Google music gives you some storage to upload music to your personal library.

Edit: just FYI, if you want to move fully from Spotify to Google music for this (or between any music streaming service) you can use services like tunemymusic to transfer over playlists etc.

That's why I tend to go for OSR (or specifically post-Osr) type games for a lot of that fantasy hack n slash fix. Mork Borg and the like are dead simple and great fun.

Thing is what might be a great game/ system for me to run might really suck for you. Running Bitd requires a different headspace to DND as an example. You need to figure out what kind of stories and systems work for you and the way to get that is trying them out.
