InFerNo, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?

I choose female characters because their hitboxes are smaller, or if the hitboxes are not smaller they will not match the hitbox and throw off any tracking. Smaller models means they might not be seen around corners by having part of the model sticking out.

jarfil,

Try Overwatch’s Torb: small hitbox, “the floor is lava” ult, and a rivet gun with both a ballistic trajectory mode that can go from side to side of the map (hard to master, but extremely gratifying when you headshot an enemy at their spawn from your own spawn), and a mele mode that can take down the strongest tanks.

InFerNo,

I don’t play overwatch though, not my cup of tea.

I always thought it was weird to model a game avatar after myself. I always roll the “random character” button (shout-out Monster Factory) when it’s available, keeps things simple.

I was once handed a princess to use as a playable character in my first text-based chat roleplaying game with 3-5 other people of girls and boys.
It quickly grew on me and I started using girls more often as my playing character from then on.

I won't deny that looking at them could be generally nicer, but I believe it's not the main reason. At least when it comes to text roleplaying, I like to (try) think and behave like a lady in games, to roleplay in their world of view. It's neat in its own way and I love the immersion when it hits me!

aww the little snowflake seething over a pronoun. pathetic.

firebreathingbunny,

You're the one seething in a thread that you could have just ignored but personally and explicitly chose to come into just to seethe.

@muse@kbin.social avatar

Seething? You literally couldn't handle pronouns in a game, nor the mod being taken off of nexusmods. Nor could you ignore that guy's comment.

That's literally 0 for 3, you little snowflake bitch baby.

You literally could not handle a mod that removes incorrect biology and English grammar from a game. Cry more. Your ideology is objectively false and we will never bend the knee to it.

Where, by "bend the knee" you mean "never have to interact with it in any way," but nah, you go off, fam. Row row fight the powah!

firebreathingbunny, (edited )

I'll interact with the mentally ill if I have to, but I won't participate in their mental illness as part of the interaction. This is irrelevant in the context of this game, because it's single player.

insomniac_lemon, (edited ) do kbinMeta w /kbin March update

I'll be more actively handling spam as well, but it's clear that we need additional people for global instance moderation. I'll prioritize this. I'd like to delegate instance administration as much as possible and fully focus on code

Said before (forgive me if you planned on replying to it), but is spam filtering (and similar issues related to moderation/federation) something you're planning or?

The current spam is rudimentary so I don't think false positives are a reason for no filtering at all, particularly if existing users are not scanned the same way. If mods can un-delete false positive threads/comments made by new accounts surely it'd be less work than manually removing spambot stuff (even if it were per-user). Especially if manual spam removal means that people still see the spam.

EDIT: Also clicking on one of the new spam accounts, 13 minutes old with 6 threads (and that was posted almost immediately with the rest posted within the span of 3 minutes).

Facni, (edited ) do kbinMeta w Is Ernest still here?

Maybe it's time for Kbin and Mbin to be a single project, in the end they are the same thing, just that Mbin has more people actively working on it, so they are faster with pull requests. There is no big philosophical problem, just a maintenance one.

Seraph,
@Seraph@kbin.social avatar

This would be great! Can you merge after a fork?

There's also the issue if Ernest isn't around who gives others willing to be on the dev team permissions so they can assist.

HubertManne,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

many forks have merged improvements from the other project in both directions when the licenses allow for it.

    Sorry, due to recent work, I missed a few notifications. Moderation tools have been consistently expanded over the past month. I have one more specific thing on the to-do list, and I just need to create a team of global moderators. This is my goal for the coming month. Further work on the ActivityPub module will also primarily involve improving communication between instances related to moderation.

    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

    Great changes! A spoiler tag button is really nice, especially since the formatting for it can be a bit clunky. On that note though, I think it'd be nice to have an alternate format for making spoilers that doesn't literally have the word spoiler in it.

    It's also awesome to see that official collections are explicitly marked, but the way it's done is rather odd. It's a button that creates an "Are you sure?" prompt on the screen when you click it. It seems like something that's meant for instance owners.

    I think something less obtrusive next to the collection's name would be better for marking official collections. I implemented that with a checkmark in my userstyle, and I prefer it to the button. Maybe have the text "official" show when you hover over it to indicate what it means.

    ::: spoiler Like this?
    Do you mean just displaying something other than "spoiler" in the header? Or not using the word "spoiler" when writing the tag at all? If the latter, I believe it's done that way to match how it works on lemmy.

    (E: I've tried several ways to get it to work, once I got the little triangle but also the word "spoiler" on the end, the rest of the times I got variations of what it looks like now. Am on desktop)
    (E2: it's now settled on a little triangle, it was showing the ::: bits before, I swear 😂)

    ThatOneKirbyMain2568,
    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

    I mean not having the word spoiler when writing the tag. I get that it's done for Lemmy compatibility, which is why I suggest an alternative way to do it (like how italics can be written like this or like this).

    DessertStorms,
    @DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

    (like how italics can be written like this or like this).

    How do you get that to display without italicising/bolding the text? (E: like has clearly happened to me lol)

    ThatOneKirbyMain2568,
    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

    Backslashes. To get this, you type _this_. In fact, you can backslash backslashes, which is how I showed the backslashes here.

    DessertStorms,
    @DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

    Amazing, thanks!

    StackExchange Flavoured Markdown features spoilers done like this:

    ! Hidden text

    Well, @ernest is aware of way, how spoilers are done on Wykop, being simply ! Hidden text

    ThatOneKirbyMain2568,
    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

    True, though this doesn't give the spoiler a header.

    Maybe something like ||header|content||, based off how Discord handles spoilers, could work.

    So

    ::: spoiler don't click if you're 8 or younger
    santa isn't real
    :::

    could be written as

    ||don't click if you're 8 or younger|santa isn't real||

    Edit: Backslashing doesn't seem to work on colons for whatever reason, so I removed that example of how the spoiler could be written.
