I didn’t think I’d watch the whole video but wow, the level of incompetence was just unrivaled. Komchatka was captained by Mr. Bean confirmed.

and he was a fair bit of a regular.

That’s the wildest part to me. You’d think if you’re into that kind of stuff you’d learn to repair your own equipment that hosts some of the most illegal content one could possess.

Somewhere I have a picture of it saved, but as a Sys Admin for an office one person had so much dead skin piled on their mouse I gagged. It formed the shape of their fingers on the buttons and the dead skin was, not exaggerating, like 4-5 millimeters thick of caked-on yellow disgustingness. Mind you, we provide new mice for people to use in the office for any reason, they just need to let us know and ask. There was no reason for this other than the person just being a Nurgle initiate or some shit. People are gross.

Interesting, thanks for the additional info!

The entire Dreamcast catalog. Specifically Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone 2, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2, Berserk: Gut’s Rage, Spawn: In the Demons Hand, Phantasy Star Online, and so many more great ones.

I’m not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It’s so much better and you don’t give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there’s not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what’s going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

You just take the URL for the subreddit and add “.rss” to the end and that’s it.

Example: “https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss”

I want Star Citizen… The Star Citizen that was promised in the Kickstarter… Still waiting.

There’s !writing@beehaw.org and !writing@lemmy.ml already. Still a little lacking in activity but they’re growing.

I’m pretty sure the games are still there but in HTML5 now, I remember logging in again a couple of years back and they were there at least.

I don’t mind too much, I didn’t know TorGuard was blocking that traffic or logging American users but now I do. So I appreciate the article in that regard but the post should’ve been titled like “Reminder that TorGuard tracks American users” or something rather than being presented as new info imo.

Exactly, it’s really easy to access a lot of the streams. There’s little to zero technical knowledge needed so this law will likely be very effective against most viewers as much as that sucks.

Yes, correct. I’m not sure why you tried posting that as some sort of gotcha. It’s much easier for a person to have accessed one of these streams than to change DNS and put on a VPN. While that is very easy for us and people in our circles, I think you’re severely overestimating the technical prowess of the general population.

it will probably exclude a lot of people from access

Majority of the population I’d wager tbh, most of the general public is not tech-savvy enough to get around this.

Oh wow, this project looks like a really awesome management game! Thanks for sharing!

Edit:

Huh, I already own it without knowing it too O_o

I mean, that’s still selling flowers. Just a different kind of flower, a skunkier flower.

Divisions by zero has some good vibes from what I’ve experienced and federated with pretty much everyone that I know of. Their main focus is piracy but they allow you to create your own community so there’s things like Silly Cats and Screenwriting on there already.

lemmy.world will definitely give you a bigger pool of potential subscribers to pull from but Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world at the moment. So people from Beehaw couldn’t participate until we refederate with them.

There was like, a whole thing. I still see memes from lemmy.world users about it whenever I log into that account lol. To summarize, Lemmy moderation tools kinda suck for the time being and to maintain the chill Beehaw atmosphere it was easier to defederate until better mod tools get developed because they have open registration so a lot of trolls and bad actors from lemmy.world were coming into Beehaw bein’ dicks.

Oh okay, I think I misunderstood. You’re not wanting to make a community for the general sense of content creators (ex: writing, poetry, comics, blogging, animation, etc.) but more so a community centered around streamers specifically.

That makes more sense! I think that a community like that could be made if enough people on Beehaw wanted it? Idk the answer to that though.

I didn’t mean to imply it was a bad idea, on the contrary, I think it’s a great idea and something I’d like to be a part of. I just wasn’t sure what a small content creator community would look like if not self promotion and boosting each other.

It could pertain to issues they’re having as a content creator, but that’s going to vary widely depending on the content they’re making. If it’s a twitch streamer like yourself specific questions might be better suited to the Gaming community. If it’s for art/writing content creation (like me) issues/questions might be better suited for the Creative community.

That’s more what I meant, what would the small content creator community look like that couldn’t already be better served by the specific content communities? And how would we prevent it from becoming a ladder of self promotion?

Yeah I’m not sure if Beehaw would make a community for that tbh. (mods/admins feel free to correct this) They just did a survey like two-ish weeks ago (?) which asked the Beeple what communities should be added. It also might be considered too spammy/self-promotey for Beehaw? I know that’s not generally their vibe. But it could be made on another instance that allows you to create your own communities if you were super inclined to get that started? You’d have at least one subscriber if you did haha (it me, I’m subscriber).
