If you're okay with crying, Spiritfarer is great.

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this feels like they're actively trying to make all of these personal experiences of others feel like their own original thoughts. That community was allegedly made to be a mirror of the Reddit community, same with !furry_memes@pawb.social . There's zero reason to be hiding the original link if there's good intentions, and they should be putting it in themselves.

Yeah, but it's starting to feel like there's more downsides. They've put out so much DLC that they're literally offering a monthly subscription service to get access to all the DLC. The new DLC costs $25 (base game costs $40), and comes with a game-breaking patch that couldn't have been shipped without knowing there were glaring issues, and a disclosure that AI was used to make some of the assets. It's getting harder to feel that you're seen as a playerbase instead of a cash cow.

Like every major release, they redid some management elements, so people are unhappy about that. But the big thing was that 4.0 was a patch intended to address performance with how pops were handled, so the mid-late game was playable at a good speed. Instead the update made performance issues worse, and apparently even with a bunch of hotfixes performance is still bad, and there's a lot of issues caused by the patch other than performance.

This ain't about him.

I mean, I get that, but why? I didn't ask out of an intent to name and shame, I just don't have any clue why someone would go to these lengths to make a couple new communities and astroturf them here. Lemmy doesn't have advertising, or any other kind of incentive to promote a community other than it being active. It's not every post from those communities they picked either, just ones that, at a glance, have passed a certain threshold of upvotes. So why would they be doing this? If you wanted to copy over a community entirely from Reddit, lemmit.online is a thing still. This took some work, and given the bursts of posts they're probably doing it manually.

It turns out that it's actually kind of well-intentioned. Granted, they asked a bunch of other subreddits as well, but they just look like someone excited about growing the fediverse. The only real issue I had was using a non-bot account for self-posts, since it made it seem like they were passing off all these experiences as their own. A note in the sidebar that these are intended to be Reddit backups and that posts are copied over probably would go a long way to preventing the confusion in the future.

And thanks to @ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social for looking this up and putting in the work.

Blue Period is mine. I can't quite name why, but it just resonates with me every time. I'd love a second season, but the anime nearly caught up to the manga when it was released.

So, this is getting kind of weird. You don't own a fursuit and don't know what it's like, but you posted earlier that you had taken murrsuit pics. You're posting what you say is OC here, but you've also apparently never drawn?

And now you're asking us what it's like being a furry, even though you told your boyfriend you were one before now. You also say you've been in the fandom for a decade. You even have a sona, one you said a fursuit maker had basically copied. Assuming this post is a genuine question and disregarding what you've said about yourself, you've created two furry communities here and are basically their sole contributor, so it's hard to imagine you don't think of yourself as one.

So I have to know, are you just grabbing posts from somewhere else and throwing them on here as yours? Are you just making stuff up and trying to see what sticks?

I played a ton of it, and it basically consumed everything I did, but after a while I just dropped it. I technically beat the game, but I think it's probably the worst-kept spoiler that finding the 46th room isn't finding more than a fraction of the puzzles the game has to offer.

At this point, it's less of a fun payoff and more of just a feeling of "finally" for the puzzles. There's a room that allows multiples of another room whose puzzle I never managed to figure out after multiple tries, even with heavy RNG manipulation. I have another puzzle that I have to have specific rooms to place as well, which means more RNG. When it's giving good puzzles, the game is a wonderful onion. When you're stuck on a bad one, you're either cursing the RNG required for it, or wondering how the hell the devs could ever have expected that to be solved (looking at you, Room 8's predecessor).

I've got what feels like a ton left to find, but it kind of feels like I'm at the point where the satisfaction is outweighed by the tedium or the sheer confusion the puzzles have. All that to say that this game has totally been worth it, even if I couldn't find myself finishing it.

I don't think it is. I looked it up and couldn't find anything further in the thread from them. Their account has been deactivated, so (I think) the original is gone and we just have reblogs. Wayback Machine doesn't have it either.

 

The only new posts that are coming up are from lemmit.online, or posts from a couple Mastodon users. This is the last exception I could find. Checking lemmy.world shows there should be new posts coming in, but they're not showing up.

For most of the morning, it seemed that pawb.social and pawb.fun were having issues loading/resolving. Did something change?

I posted a while ago about a headshot offer, and here's all the ones that I finished up. I want to thank everyone for their patience in the time that it took to finish these! Also, one more:

 
 

Hi Pawb,

Currently my commission queue is clear, and I'm not great at drawing heads, so I'm offering to draw your sonas. It'll probably take a few days to finish one up, at most. If you're interested, feel free to comment below or message me. Generally I send WIPs and the finished product over Discord, but we can figure out something else if you're averse to it.
