@PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter It's pretty sad really. A lot of these Poastoids are probably younger than I am, and they probably only know Internet culture for getting into shitty arguments with people online, constantly having to pick a side on every issue, and trying to make a lolcow out of everyone they disagree with.

@PurpCat @arc @Mr_NutterButter Poastoids fight over the most retarded shit. It's part of the reason why I mostly stopped caring about the "dissident right". Link related.

@Hoss @jeffcliff the thing with KF is simple: big tech associated "activists" were actually paying people on Discord to file reports or were having 6am "girl talks" with hosting providers to take down a singular site.

The other problem with KF is that is way higher profile than say, the sharty, zoomer "ironic" sadist discords, and whatnot. Thanks to a broken person blaming his suicide on the site (and not his shitty "friends", lockdowns, or something that was more likely the cause) and the site constantly making fun of a certain untouchable group, there are autism fatwas against the site by "consent accident" enjoyers.

We gotta understand that not all people can switch to Firefox, or daily drive GrapheneOS, or search in DuckDuckGo, or migrate to Proton Mail, or from Twitter to Mastodon.

If only that was sufficient anyways...

I agree with the sentiment here, but I can definitely understand the desire to push hard given how... dire things are.
On some level, you have to take a zero-tolerance stance with how things are currently run to forge a different path.

That said, I would encourage you to be kind and patient about it!

Heartwarming. The worst people you know are all getting screwed over.

@Pawlicker This is exactly why I was always skeptical of Gab since Day 1.

Once a wise man on Discord said there is a such thing as an internet cycle.

Some new service will come along and declare themselves to not be like the other guys, only to become like the other guys and lose all their users. Rinse, wash, and repeat.

@leyonhjelm @noyoushutthefuckupdad I'm not anit-anime either. Like what you like. And no, I'm not into modern, western DEI-shit, before anyone asks.

re: gamedev 

@lina And it worked (obviously). Thanks, but this problem will eventually come back, when I inevitably write text talking about ownership.

re: gamedev 

@lina Might as well. I tried another font, this time from 1001fonts and the same problem persisted, though I have no idea why it's showing three squares instead of one.

The prologue text was AI generated because up until recently, this game didn't have a story at all (it's just a practice game for something bigger). I decided that the end game item should be a mirror after someone suggested it, so I had ChatGPT write a quick prologue to give a backstory.

re: gamedev 

@lina There aren't that many TTF fonts on OpenGameArt.org and implementing bitmap fonts would be difficult in SFML. Though, I don't like this font anyway because no matter what strings you display, the text will always be in all caps.

Apparently, the recording was corrupted. Here is a better video.

Started creating a prologue for when you start the game. The White rectangles appear presumably because the font I'm using apparently doesn't support apostrophes.
