  • What's the worst game you've ever had the misfortune of playing?

    Jump

  • When I was in elementary school one of my classrooms had Stratego among the board games meant for bad weather days or waiting after school.

    I had previously played Stratego and liked it, but every single other kid in this classroom read that the 'Spy' piece could kill the 'General' (the most powerful) piece and concluded that the 'Spy' could therefore kill any piece on the board. I was shouted down by everyone for pointing out the actual wording of the rules and that a 'Spy' is called that because it's obviously supposed to be a sneaky piece.

    Nobody agreed and just played the game with the 'Spy' as a rampaging super piece killing everything. That was pretty miserable.

  • What show do you recommend to watch?

    Jump

  • Yes.

  • What should we be doing, individually, to increase Lemmy's userbase?

    Jump

  • This is true that crossposting is messy, but I think it is the best current solution. Crossposting means it is more likely to show up on the feed of somebody only subscribed to one of the communities, which might remind them that the community exists. Crossposting also means that when somebody stumbles upon a community it at least has the appearance of a pulse.

    Jump

  • There are certainly plenty of communities that aren't dedicated to doomscrolling. They do need more activity though, plain and simple. I can't single handedly solve the issue of the All feed having so much of that, but I do try to regularly contribute to communities that are more varied, and I suggest to you and other users to do the same. Lemmy is a much smaller userbase and can't rely on the same proportion of users to contribute content like reddit.

    Here are just a few communities I like to visit regularly, and contribute to any time I have a good contribution that aren't full of doomscrolling content.

  • This is true. During the big migration wave to Lemmy about 3 years ago, a lot of people came over and started niche within niche communities with the idea of making straight up 1 for 1 copies of very niche subreddits. I've even inherited moderation on some of them.

    I think the best way forward is to try and backfill by posting a majority of content to some of the more main communities, and then crossposting to the more niche ones. This makes the more general and I think more important foundational communities active, and it gives a trickle of content to the already existing niches. Not being afraid of crossposting and then in general posting more is a good answer.

  • What show do you recommend to watch?

    Jump

  • Stargate SG1 - It's like Star Trek with machineguns.

    FarScape - It's like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there's lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you're on drugs.

    The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.

    Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.

    Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.

    Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.

  • Yes, tabletop gaming is so much bigger and more varied than GW's games. I love 40k and Warhammer fantasy, but just as one part of the hobby.

    The high pricing and FOMO churning is pretty perfected by GW. It is easy to fall into just thinking and buying GW products at MSRP. There are many ways to avoid it and play for much cheaper, but it means breaking out of the GW exclusive ecosystem. (I have many specific suggestions how to do this btw.)

    I can't stand the modern tournament culture which has this sort of e-sports stink on it.

    As a mild piece of good news OnePageRules seems to have decent traction and isn't too difficult to find groups who play in stores. It has its shortcomings, but at least the rules aren't subject to the constant market driven churning updates.

  • Half sweet and half spicy plate of pierogis

    Jump

  • The cream for the sweet pierogis isn't exactly whipped cream. I can't quite identify it, but I think it is some kind of sweetened sour cream (this is something I've have before) that's been whipped to bee less dense than normal sour cream.

  • These aren homemade, I got the plate at a small independent restaurant.

    The sweet ones have a sweetened twaróg cheese filling, and the hot ones have a mix of potato and habanero.

  • This appears to be a photoshop of the Old Trace sign, with the oldest posting coming from Reddit's politicalhumor community.

    I don't think allowing photoshopped images in a community intended for photographs is a great idea. There are already numerous communities here where the photoshop picture can get exposure without cutting into one of the few spaces for photographs.
