Yeah Christ, the complaint here is overstimulation and the capitalization/commercialization of peoples’ attention spans, a topic which spans far greater breadth than just “colors”. What a weird specific aspect to zero in on. I don’t disagree that colors attribute to the issue but man, OP needs to take a step back and huff into a paper bag.
This is some hyperbolic shit right here.
Hmm, so basically exactly the people you’d expect to be traded. I guess it’s a silver lining for this season going so terribly that moving pieces that are actually working for us won’t hurt too terribly and we can try to get as much in return as possible without worrying so much of how we’ll survive the postseason.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with bottle episodes. It’s the bottle episodes specifically starring Vic Fontaine which stretches the premise thin to incredulity that I think people–or at least I–have an issue with. Do another Ferengi or Klingon thing if need be. But attaching such sentiment to a character that the show really really wants you to like doesn’t work for me. Again, he’s a love him or hate him character. At least Ezri’s episodes, while shoehorned, made sense for why they needed to be there if they had to have her as a replacement at all. Vic was just an insert the writers specficially wanted for no good reason.
Most people here are ignoring the main reason: the writers were just a bunch of baseball loving rat pack fans who took their love of those things maybe a little too far. In the case of baseball, we only had Take Me Out to Holosuite to deal with (which is a great episode–provided you like baseball, I suppose). In the case of the rat pack, we inexplicably got Vic Fontaine who you either love or hate. I wouldn’t hate Vic Fontaine so much myself if they didn’t force him to basically take up the space that Quark’s Bar was supposed to be, and for him to be an integral part of the show so late in the series. And yes, the musical numbers take up too much time, if you ask me.
Absolutely the biggest issue for Lemmy (and any other federated threadlike site). This whole reddit “implosion” business (though it really is doing just fine still) has done wonders for user growth, but it’s gonna take at least another few hundred thousand+ people on here before there’s enough random distribution to make smaller niche hobby communities viable.
It’s definitely not old reddit. But absolutely hate the new reddit crowd. So much low effort bullshit that’s making this place feel like /r/funny.
I do agree not enough of the niche stuff I’m into has built up though. Personally enjoy local/regional and hobby stuff. So far, regional communities are big enough to have much discussion or content, and the hobby stuff I’m into hasn’t really moved over much other than the various tech stuff which is something, at least.
The issue is it takes a lot of users to hit a point where enough niche communities can exist. Until then it’s just gonna be this lame tryhard shit with people trying to force lemmy memes about beans or some dude who can’t poop.
From what I’ve been hearing this sounds like a bit of a steal? I haven’t paid much attention many players other than Reinbacher and Leonard, and while I figured it unlikely we’d get them I still held out hope. Still, a new center with potential like his sounds good for the team.
Probably none, if you’re fine with KeePass. Personally I don’t want to use anything that’s hosted on someone else’s server. It’s a bit more inconvenient to use the local files of KeePass only, but I’d rather feel a bit safer with that, even if by all account BitWarden/Proton Pass would be fine.
It’s made on the same engine as Skyrim and Fallout 4 so for all intents and purposes this is going to be like any other Bethesda game. So, if people want Fallout 4 in space with procedural worlds and companions then I guess it’ll be what they’re looking for. But my belief is it’s going to feel like a last gen game with a sheen of current gen on top.
Themeable in that you can change colors and icons and sizing to your liking. But inherently it’s just a search bar and an app drawer basically. The screenshots do a bad job of showing the variety of looks you can achieve though. I’ve been pushing for a custom color hex picker for a while but it hasn’t made any releases so far though.
Here’s an example of mine below…
Can also set favorites to float above the search bar like more traditional if you’re into that.
Don’t know enough about Gaudette myself but consensus seems to be this isn’t a bad deal at all. I guess kinda similar to getting Blais this past season, and the return on value he brought with the new scenery.
Unfortunately when an instance/community is federated it does not bring any archived posts or comments over. If new posts/comments come in then it’ll get those, but otherwise yeah it’s a bit of an issue since there’s plenty of old posts people will want to be able to peruse when a community is discovered by an instance.
Yeah not sure why but lemmy.ml can’t access this community. Would happily hop on there.
No reason this can’t just be a one stop shop for anything Cardinals news from around the web. Nice to have it all in one place to have some discussion on it.
384 blocked for beehaw, Jesus Christ. Trying to like build its own world over there?
What a weird trailer. The British humor of Fable is just a fun extra on top of the core gameplay, not the defining feature… Not really sure what this trailer is conveying exactly, showing off a single character and some kind of Richard Ayoade theme park experience, but I guess we’ll see.
Good ol’ Florida. Still want em to win though.
Man Florida is just plain getting beat right now. Still, ain’t gonna count em out til the series is done.
I was lucky enough to see him start at Citi Field for his last win. Was starting to worry I may have seen his last professional win and I’m glad I was wrong. Hopefully he can make 200 but if not 199 is pretty fun too.
