Thanks for articulating this. I've had the same reaction but I avoid engaging because I have this unhealthy mental thing where I (often, not always) actually get upset if online people yell at me.

I'm pretty dense and it took me a couple minutes to figure out what this meme was getting at, but now that I get it I love this image. Does anyone have the original image?
Even though I'm not a furry, I'm like 90% sure I regularly "engage in anthropomorphic behavior". I probably would have been more confident before I saw this, but now I'm wondering if I've been misunderstanding that word for as long as I can remember.
Why can't anyone make a decent monster collecting/battling game? The closest one to being good that I've played is Cassette Beasts. It shouldn't be this hard.
Monster taming games are kind of my niche (although I'm not particularly interested in playing Palworld). Yo-Kai Watch 3 is the best I've played. Ni No Kuni (the first one, I haven't played the second) is also really good. Those are both big studio games.
Of the indie games I've played, Monster Sanctuary has the best gameplay. The game mechanics are well-designed, rewarding, and very respectful of your time. The main drawback is that the story is not engaging at all. (Also the art style is not super memorable.) The studio that made it has a new game in the works which will be called "Aethermancer" that looks better graphically, if they get a better writer that could be really great.
Nexomon Extinction is another good indie game which is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. The actual gameplay is somewhat lackluster, but the dialogue and story are fantastic and make the game worthwhile.
You mention Cassette Beasts, that one is solidly in between the other two. The gameplay and the story/dialogue are both pretty good. I feel like it gets the most fanfare out of the three and I have milked a good bit out of the game, but I actually like the other two better in spite of their flaws. The aspects they excel in make them memorable games. Cassette Beasts felt fun enough to kill time and had some innovations, but just didn't make a lasting impression on me.
Asking in the megathread because I don't know the better place, sometime I'm logged into lemmy.ml and post to hexbear and lately it's been a crapshoot whether my comments from that account actually appear on hexbear or not. For example, here is one that went through, here is one that got blocked. There were a couple comments (this was one as an example) that had been blocked for over a month, but checking now they seem to have made their way through now long after the threads have died.
Is this a federation issue or are the posts getting flagged?
He also falsely claimed about those who died that day that “most of them died from being too excited”.
Okay but this is just great journalism.
I generally love monster tamers/pokemon clones, but I played a bit of cyber sleuth for switch and it didn't do it for me at all. I think it was mainly that the vast majority of the monster designs I came across were visually unappealing to me, and generally seemed to get worse the stronger the monsters were. The shitty base forms were somewhat endearing, but I just wasn't vibing with most of what came after. Part of the fun is feeling attached to your stupid creatures.
I've read about the general idea behind warrant canaries before, but I've never actually looked at one in action so I don't know what an issue is supposed to look like.
In the sidebar of the /c/feedback community, there's a link to the "Hexbear Warrant Canary". I've never looked at this before, but I was curious so I clicked it, and I can't get anything to load other than "Connection timed out Error code 522". Does this indicate that the canary is dead, or is this a purely technical error?
Cis privilege here but when I see this happen to hexbear users I give the benefit of the doubt until they blow their chance to apologize. I have no argument against what you're saying, and I think there's almost zero chance I could make this mistake in real life, but I feel like I'm bound to mess that up on here at some point because I'm still really awful with only reading post content and basically ignoring the usernames. I'm here a bit, but I don't spend anywhere near as much time posting online as I did 10-20 years ago and I can easily see myself slipping back to the habit where everyone is ungendered until their post content makes it clear.
