Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

This would work on me for many games. But I don’t drink. I’m at home playing the games.

it's a cue that the post is intended to be read in william shatner's voice

Because it truly is baffling to her that two individuals can share interests beyond 'hey, wan sum fuck?' .

Step 1A: find a shared interest, which helps make you fulfill Step 1 goals.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Caveat: you have to actually have any interests. Unfortunately many men mistake jerkin it to anime for an interest, and so fail to follow this step as well

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yep. Too many people think attractive only means good looking. I may not be good looking, but I'm not real smart either. I forget where I was going with this.

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I've never seen anyone take the "step 1. Be attractive Step 2. Don't be unattractive" as anything but a meme. I don't think it's meant to be actual advice.

Like what you are saying tracks and is fine, I just didn't expect someone to actually turn it into a reasonable 2 step program 😄

You have to have somebody be willing to talk to you before you can charm them.

A baseline of grooming, clothes that fit, and welcoming expression and body language makes a HUGE diff.

Step two: draw the rest of the owl.

Well if she doesn't find you handsome. She should at least find you handy.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together.

[–] GuyLivingHere@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Ah, people of culture.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

Thanks Mom!

Statistically speaking, it was bound to work eventually.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (4 children)

i don't understand the appeal of stuff like roblox.

i played second life back in 2003 and it was boring as shit to me then. robox just seems like the kid-focused version of that in 2025. and yet three of my nephews are addicted to it.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

Years and years ago I worked for a startup that was building a 3D social media world (think Second Life meets Facebook). Dev asked me to do research on Second Life as a new user. Give my opinion of things like sign up, getting to know the software and worlds, whats wrong with it, what's good about it.

I spent a week in that thing. It was horrible and lonely.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Doesn't it have loads of games within it? When my son plays he might be shooting, or driving, or doing some kind of obstacle course.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It is a game where you can create your own games.

Playing minigames is nice, but using it as your own game engine is great.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Up to a certain extent, until it just becomes a storefront that takes 70%+ of your money instead of 30% (steam, app stores) 10% (epic) or 0% (self-published, etc)

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

It’s 30% revenue for games and in-game micro transactions and 70% for character cosmetics. Different markets with different revenue share schemes.

[–] RaoulDuke85@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Sounds like Yakuza games.

[–] gbuttersnaps@programming.dev 25 points 1 week ago (11 children)

From what I understand, it's more like a Garry's Mod type game. Just a sandbox that let's you build fun and/or dumb stuff to do with your friends. I've never played but I understood the appeal after it was explained to me that way.

To me it's like fishing or cards. Technically there's an activity, but what you're really doing is shooting the shit in a casual social setting.
