It seems like the whole fediverse is having a lot of the same growing pains.

Discovery is still basically an impenetrable jungle. If you already know exactly what you’re looking for it’s fine. But I basically just wander around and happen upon neat stuff every so often lol.

And sorting content is another type of discovery problem. I’m subscribed to some interesting stuff but I need to remember to actually go check them because none of it shows up in feeds.

I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know how long it takes to work out these types of issues. But I do know that I’m only still around because I’m hopeful, not because I’m actually finding it particularly useful or entertaining.

The fediverse currently feels like it might be competitive with webforums from 2010: The platform isn’t doing much to help, but it’s fine 'cause the people have spirit lol.

Ohh, like they’re kind of a foam material? That makes sense.

Somehow I was imagining you’d found round sponges hahah. Show us more of your stuff! : )

Oooh! What are they made from??

Lmao that’s hilarious. I see the switch, what’s he playing??

How much of this is printed vs your conversion? It’s really creative lol.

Ohh, just realized you’re the guy that posted the yellow meganobz the other week! Okay, I’m gonna plug (!orks/@orks) here 'cause I’d love to see more of your stuff!

Lol I thought there was a filter on the image before I read about the print lines.

This looks great! I love how much terrain is around, the setting really tells a story. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Idk if lemmy does this, but kbin.social lets you edit the post title!

Huh. We can basically assume none of these profiles are “balanced” because otherwise they would just be tournament legal.

And I expect the vast majority of it to be strong. Why do all this work just for people to be disappointed the few times they try it?

So… this is for specifically pre-10th players facing other pre-10th players, or for pre-10th players facing opponents who don’t know or care about game balance lol. Eh.

I would have preferred they release tournament legal profiles with a prescribed proxy list.

I love your question! I think these words are examples of a trochee!

In English poetic metre and modern linguistics, a trochee (/ˈtroʊkiː/) is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.

It’s usually easy to recognize a word that’s a trochee because it’ll sound like kids TV show title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Power Ranger Mega Turtles lol.

In this case, it’s trochaic dimeter because there’s two trochees. “LET’S-go RAN-gers!” You may have heard of iambic pentameter, somehow that one always seems popular to people. Well an iamb is just the reverse of a trochee, and pentameter means you’d put five of them on each line.

Now that you know what trochees are, you’re gonna see 'em everywhere. Or maybe that’s just me lol.

Edit: For extra fun, what do you think is going on with the clapping afterwards? I feel like we’re doing something with this at the end, but it’s late and I should go to sleep hahah. Good luck!

Hi! I’ve taken psilocybin on 5 different occasions over about 8 years. Each time was in a safe environment, with at least one sober, trusted friend. I never treated it like a party drug, I always had a goal in mind.

I found it immensely helpful in managing my depression. I try to spend some time with my own thoughts, reflecting on where I’ve been, and what I’d like to do a little bit differently. After the first time, I did feel a little bit better, and that feeling persisted for several months. That was enough nudge that I had the energy to get myself into the doctors, and therapy, and I’ve been slowly moving towards… wherever it is that I’m aiming lol.

Each time, I wait and see how long it takes for me to think about it again, and it’s been 2 years now and I don’t have any interest in it still. I know I have work to do. My depression is… still there, I think, but it’s not as scary as it used to be.

I’m not willing to recommend psilocybin to anyone at this point, and especially not strangers on the internet. I had some incredibly supportive people help me with a difficult time. Psilocybin is like a rocket ship for your brain: When you hop in, you are going somewhere else very quickly, but you’re probably not an astronaut so it’s not you choosing where you end up. Not everyone has a good time.

Some people have a very bad time. My friend had a negative enough experience to never ever want to try it, or any psychedelics again.

Please make sure you fully understand the risks here. Your brain is an incredibly important part of you. Despite my positive experiences, I strongly recommend looking for safer alternatives first.

WITH REGARDS TO ADHD:

Eh. So I describe my ADHD as having 6-8 trains of thought in my head. I take my prescribed methylphenidate, and that helps me by making it easier to conduct the trains (ideally they’re directed towards something I need rather than just… flying off lol).

On shrooms (and for several weeks after), it’s like there’s only 1 or maybe 2 trains of thought. I like to imagine that might be how neurotypical people think, less jumping around to different tracks. It’s not uncomfortable, but it is much quieter? (This was before I was medicated for ADHD btw.)

I don’t mind that version of me, but I did find that I didn’t feel as naturally creative as usual. Less free form brainstorming. I was doing my usual activities feeling more calm, so that was nice I guess, but it’s not who I’m interested in being. I like having creative fire, I just need a bit of ADHD meds to help me actually harness it.

I don’t think psilocybin is a very effective tool for managing ADHD, even regular microdosing. It might be a subjective quality of life improvement, but it doesn’t really help you adult better lol. It helps you be a little kinder to yourself, but it’s not helping you with executive function.

If stimulants are working for you, I’d say work towards securing those over experimenting this. Work with your doctor, or someone else you trust, 'cause ADHD people having trouble with bureaucracy should be a clear friction point for anyone paying attention lol.

I’ve just finished Gazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! by Nate Crowley a couple weeks ago, and I enjoyed it immensely! I’d recommend it, feels very Orky lol.

Dang, those are sweet! You asked for C&C, but I’m having trouble haha. I see what you’re aiming for and it’s working well!

If I had to nitpick, I think I’d go after the bases though! Where are they??

I’d love for the bases to give your bugs some context, especially on the bigger bases. Are they on urban concrete? Maybe some road stripes? Are they on some kind of desert? What are they consuming?

Either, have fun, keep going!

Just wanted to recategorize things to look at the changes in a different way!

Reddit isn’t going to die overnight. It will probably not die at all (at least not as a result of this latest stupidity).

I expect reddit will be like facebook in the long run. Facebook is still useful for specific things (marketplace, messenger), but otherwise it’s just a bloated zombie hippo now. Still massive and still moving, but definitely bleeding out lol.

We’ll have to wait and see how July goes, after all the third parties get killed. In the meantime, the fediverse needs to become as high quality as possible, 'cause a bunch of people are gonna be deciding between a increasingly poor experience (reddit), and a fairly steep learning curve for non-tech people (fediverse/instances/threads/posts/boosts/favourites/reduce/magazines/microblogs/communities).
