  • I have a very long list of blocked political keywords and yet somehow Lemmy users find a way to make political posts that get around all my filters. It is very frustrating. So now I have started just blocking individual users if they post about politics, because a person that posts about it once is most likely going to do it again.

    Lemmy without politics is kinda a ghost board. There is maybe 3 or 4 new posts a day. For someone who is not so active, its not much of a problem, but compared to Reddit it is highly frustrating that so much Lemmy content is about politics.


  • Play Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition on PC. Pretty much any PC these days can run it no problem, and it is undisputably the best way to play Silent Hill 2. Its not nostalgia blinding, the game is legitimately still good.

    Silent Hill 2 wasn’t every really scary. It made you nervous and anxious, but it never tried to outright scare the player. There were no jumpscare cutscenes, everything was slow and very telegraphed.

    One of the things I noticed from the last gameplay they showed was the scene when James gets the flashlight in room 205 of the Apartments. In the original game, the scene plays and the Mannequin which was visible the entire time stands up. But in the remake Bloober made a change, a really stupid one. They added a jump scare sound cue, which is highly typical of Bloober. I am unhappy with this change because the original game never ever did this, and it was an intentional change from how Silent Hill 1 worked. Silent Hill 1 did have jumpscares in it.

    That’s what adjustable tie rod wrenches are for: Image of an Adjustable Tie Rod Wrench from Matco Tools

    They make em in all different size ranges.

    I am an avid fan of Fast Orange, but Gojo is good too. Wear long sleeves and pants (yes, even in summer here in California in triple digit weather) made of 100% cotton and you only really gotta worry about cleaning your hands if you don’t wear gloves.






  • They also remove people’s comments if they are not directly praising this kind of behavior [the behavior common in that community]. Any sort of controversial comments don’t show up there for that exact reason.

    Just a heads up, this happens all the time on Lemmy too. Everywhere where humans talk to each other, this happens. Different topic, same reaction. Its even happening in this very thread.

    I personally am not a fan of “toxic positivity” or not allowing people to make critical observations without sending them to the Shadow Realm. It is harmful to legitimate discussion which could be quite interesting as long as the participants don’t start name calling or doxxing or whatever. It seems like nowadays you either have to be 100% positive about literally everything and have no critical thought or you are ejected into space.

    It seemed like it would be a cheesey movie with some dry humor and I was okay with it up until the girl character called Jack Black “a massive toolbag.” Thats not what I expect from a movie oriented to children, and that made me immediately drop any interest I had left. Then the rest of the trailer somehow got worse with the llama scene, whatever that was.

    They should have made the movie animated in the same style as all their commercials, with the characters in a Minecraft style skin based on their real world appearance. Have them start and end in real life, whatever. But boy is this not going to be good.

    This looks like the 90s Mario movie all over again. Or the Sonic movie – before they fixed Sonic. Like, even the Resident Evil and Tomb Raider movies are probably better than this and those movies were generally very inaccurate to their source material, and not well receieved.





    • Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition - the undisputable best way to play Silent Hill 2

    • Dead by Daylight is horror themed, just don’t interact with the highly toxic community

    • Resident Evil HD is the best way to play Resident Evil

    • Project Zomboid - you either quit in 15 minutes, or you rack up thousands of hours, there is no inbetween

    • The Forest and Sons of the Forest
