You would probably enjoy this community more.

FWIW, I totally get the way you feel about greentexts in general. I think it's a very natural reaction, and those of us (myself included) who enjoy these posts without reservation are actually the unusual ones who have been desensitized by a lifetime on internet forums.

There's a certain jaded callousness, seasoned with a sprinkling of cynicism and misanthropy, which allows one to most fully savor the fruits of c/greentext ๐Ÿ˜‚

Can we please never refer to RFK Jr as RFK? Honestly I'd be fine if we never mentioned him at all, but letting him take over the name of the real RFK is a fucking travesty and I will not stand for it.

Idk if admins need to manually approve registration applications for Mbin. Many smaller Lemmy instances are set up that way, so it may also be the case for Mbin.

Regardless, whether the registration is reviewed manually or automatically, the admin is the one who will be able to help you.

Yea this was a good thread. Except for your comment, which is off topic ๐Ÿ˜‰

There are plenty of small towns away from the world that aren't in Greenland ๐Ÿ˜…. I get the sentiment but Nuuk is total overkill if anon is just looking for a peaceful small town

The Maori were Polynesian navigators who were the first humans to settle NZ around 1300 AD. New Zealand and Hawaii were two of the last places on Earth to be settled by humans.

Then some of the Maori left from NZ and colonized the Chatham Islands around 1500. Due to their geographic isolation, they diverged culturally from the Maori, adopted a pacifist way of life, and came to be known as the Moriori.

In the mid-1800s, some Maori tribes, armed with muskets obtained from trade with Europeans, invaded the Chatham Islands and committed a genocide for nearly 30 years against the Moriori, who did not fight back because of their belief in pacifism. This is known as the Moriori genocide.

It'll be huge in the context of Lemmy, despite only representing a small percentage of Reddit's total userbase.

Yeah the more I look into it, I see that it takes direct inspiration from Total Annihilation and SupCom. I messaged my friends who used to play Forged Alliance with me and at least a couple of them have already played this game.

I've been waiting for over a decade for a new game in this mold. It's not just an RTS, it's a very specific kind of strategic RTS that has a much greater scale than a tactical RTS like Starcraft. I like that it's more focused on macro than micro.

And the fact you can do 16 player matches is just epic. Supreme Commander was originally limited to 4v4 and then they eventually modded in the ability to play 6v6, but it would frequently cause the framerate to drop to slideshow levels. Can't wait to try this game out!

Wow this actually looks amazing. Reminds me of Supreme Commander, I used to play Forged Alliance Forever back in the day. Good times.

Yea this is an obscure one, I was pretty confused

[โ€“] imaqtpie 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I understand. But just because someone can't recognize a brown recluse spider doesn't make them an idiot. All you have to do is be like hey, actually it's not a brown recluse because of xyz. No need for the ridicule

Dude just calm down. You could make your point without being so hostile and condescending.
