jballs,

The glyphs translate to “ZETEMA” - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

I just assumed she was casting something to transform Razira back into her own body so she could lay the smack down.

jballs,

That’s ok, the fact that she maintains the angry eyes while in flight made up for it.

jballs,

Just read the title of your post and realized you were saying that she was casting a different spell, which ended her rabbit transformation spell.

jballs,

I think the average person is not willing to take 5 minutes to figure out how Kbin or Lemmy works.

jballs,

Before I left Reddit, I searched for alternatives and saw that people recommended Lemmy or Kbin. But I didn’t know what those things were. I assumed they were just Reddit clones hosted by someone else. I didn’t know that I could create an account on Kbin and interact with other posts in the Fediverse. I didn’t even know what the Fediverse was. So I was stuck with this decision of “do I try Lemmy or Kbin first?”

When I decided to try Lemmy, the first thing you need to do is sign up on an instance. People recommended beehaw.org, but that required filling out an application to join. That seems weird, since I never had to apply to read Reddit. I decided to try another instance (sh.itjust.works) but was worried that I was missing out on what people had recommended about other instances. Maybe I chose the wrong one? Maybe I should make an account on Lemmy.world instead?

It took me a little while to grasp the concept of federation and realize that it made no difference as an end user which instance I chose. I stuck with it, as did everyone reading this, but I think it’s fair to say that the average person has similar barriers to entry. We’ve overcome them, but many, many people will not.

jballs,

Elon tweeted:

Oh you mean the “Election Integrity” Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone.

Seems like his view is that fact checking is a threat to elections. What a douche.

What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

I’ve been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio’s Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rogue like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I’ve played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it’s definitely worth a play....

jballs,

I was mildly a Borderlands fan, but then I played Tales from the Borderlands and fell in love. It’s such a great game with amazing writing and music that I’m always surprised to hear that most people, including fans of the main Borderlands games, have never heard of it.

jballs,

That’s exactly how I felt about it too. It felt like if your FPS character just set down their gun and started talking to people.

jballs,

I just finished listening to Duma Key by Stephen King. For some reason, the narrator thought it was a good idea to lower the volume of their voice and nearly whisper the really dramatic parts. It’d be like “**Her father was a **^smdfprhfjs”

I had to rewind so many times that I was ready to quit. Fantastic book otherwise, but having an option to jump to text real quick would’ve been a life saver.

jballs,

I do this almost every night. Makes me feel like a ninja when I finally turn off the TV and my wife doesn’t wake up.

jballs,

Lol that group of muggers looks way too wholesome. They’re about to get wrecked.

jballs,

Konsi can fix them.

jballs,

I know that Diablo isn’t a Capcom game, but if industry leaders are looking at $90 games with battle passes and in game purchases for $20 horse armor is “too low”, then we are truly fucked.

jballs,

Not an answer to your question, but yesterday I was annoyed that I unsubscribed to an email list and there wasn’t an option to select that I never signed up for it. My email address has my first initial in it - and my user name does not stand for JulieBalls, seeing that my name isn’t Julie. However, that doesn’t stop Julie for signing me up for all sorts of shitty emails like “Hi Julie, Rand Paul needs your support to fight Facist Fauci”, “Julie, this is Reverend Fuck Knuckles and I need you to pray for Trump”, etc.

When I unsubscribe from these lists they usually make me select an option like “I’m no longer interested in this content.” I’m like “bitch, I was never interested in your trash-ass content!”

jballs,

Your mom and Julie are probably best friends, cause that’s exactly what’s happening with my email account. It’s like every 6 months, she signs up for something new. I’m guessing she must be confused when she never gets the communication she signed up for? But she probably has a very loose understanding of how email actually works.

jballs,

Same here. Still blows my mind though. Like do these people think if they just write down an address, then it’s magically theirs?

jballs,

My lady has signed up for Care.com to be a nanny, and I frequently get inquiries from families looking to hire her. But yeah, I have no way of actually getting this info to her, since I don’t know her real address. I considered doing a password reset to make her have to get another account, but I wasn’t sure about the ethics and legalities of that.

jballs,

It won’t matter to his supporters. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon for fraud charges where he was stealing people’s donations to “build the wall”. They still don’t care.

jballs,

I love how the lawyers were fined for presenting shitty arguments that they were specifically instructed not to. Hope that sets a precedent.

jballs,

Didn’t even notice the woman in the picture for a solid 2 or 3 minutes.

jballs,

Ah yes, the classic 7 showers every other Monday.

jballs,

Those kittens have been hanging out with these puppies.

jballs,

That sounds pretty complicated. I’ve just been plugging the text and description into this site: glif.app/

jballs,

Not sure what this prompt was, since I didn’t make this one. I linked the site I used above, and they’re pretty simple to do but need a few tries to get a good one.

jballs,

That one is really good!

jballs,

Findings showed the virtual nose allowed people using the Tuscany villa simulation to play an average of 94.2 seconds longer without feeling sick, while those playing the roller coaster game played an average of 2.2 seconds longer.

Yeah instead of throwing up immediately, you won’t throw up until 2.2 seconds in. Problem solved!

jballs,

Yeah getting a new headset for the Oculus with a battery in the back is a comfort game changer. It’s not the weight of the headset that’s a problem, it’s that it’s all front loaded.

jballs,

I don’t think you want a nose for those videos.

jballs,

I think all of the Golden Girls were in their 50s at the time. Watching that growing up, I thought they were all supposed to be in their 70s.

jballs,

Any tips for us non-professionals?

jballs,

Depends on the context. I work with databases, so A and B are column headers and X and Y are either row numbers, or identifiers.

jballs,

Baja Blast is fucking awesome.

jballs,

Thanks, been meaning to look into this and you saved me the mental effort.

jballs,

I like how the top railing fades into a road? Light Rail track?

jballs,

I’m aware. I was just commenting on how strange that piece was.

jballs,

I’m guessing “Hello world” followed shortly by “send nudes”.

jballs,

Now I feel like we need to see more of Chicken Bot.

jballs,

If your traditional stroganoff recipe isn’t good, you can also try this site.

jballs,

I originally tried linking to join-lemmy.org but it was too long to fit on a single line.

jballs,

What do you mean? I’m logged in to the Lemmy instance I use (sh.itjust.works).

jballs,

Not following your problem. You’re saying you can’t login to another Lemmy instance that’s unstable?

jballs,

I’ve been getting data limit alerts for a few months now for a device that isn’t on my account. I couldn’t find a way to tell T-Mobile about it, unless I wait on hold for a phone call. Fuck that.

jballs,

Those aren’t murder chirps, those are the noises my cat makes looking at birds out the window… oh wait, that makes sense.

jballs,

Lol

jballs,

Heads up I think the Next Comic link is broken in this one.

jballs,

I’m using Sync. If you look at one of your other links, they look like this:

ttrpg.network/post/1036898

But this post’s Next Comic link just seems like it’s a link to a number (1021263) instead of a URL.

jballs,

Awesome that works for me now. Allowed me to click through the whole series from the beginning. Thanks!
