I decided to rig him up to a doomsday switch. I was digging deeply at the time and knew it was a matter of time since I was digging aggressively and had a small army. As it turns out a single beast from the candy depths crawled out of a crack in the rock and moved quickly, it scuttled through the mines and through a modest barracks, my dwarves were ill prepared and with the miners and soldiers dead, the lever was pulled. Ewiwi waited patiently on the surface, apparently enjoying the screams of his captors from below which lasted for some time. While poor on physical defence the fort was rich in terribly optimized pathways ensuring a slow and arduous escape for the monster below. Eventually the beast from below exited the fort, gave a gentlemanly nod to Ewiwi, and left east.

I was going to say Soul Level 1 playthrough of Dark Souls is one of my favorite gaming experiences. Absolutely worth it for me. Helped me through some depression. Do not recommend to anyone however.

I work in healthcare, I’ve removed… so many people from life support. I often wonder if that’s, not the same, but…

IANAL - Can credit card companies coordinate like this? This seems like price fixing but the other way around. Like one company wouldn’t do this alone cause it would drive customers away so they agree to do it together. Does that coordinated monopolistic behavior have president?

Well, after a human army aborted their attack I had an interesting target for my defence.

I pulled the lever!

And the cyclops beat the shit out of the dragon, but bought me enough time to pull the lever again, locking it in.

New problems.

I mean yeah, some might use the feature to create an echo chamber for themselves and all the toxicity that can bring is a concern, the alternative is a user experience plagued with content you literally cannot read. I exclusively browse via an app, Google Translate isn’t an option. I have no problem with Germans, if they want to contribute to discussion on English speaking instances- great, I want to see their contributions. I’d just like the ability to cut content that I will never interact with.

The concern that people are going to block instances and complain about the death of Lemmy due to a lack of content feels a bit like a straw man. One could argue that the inability to control content they consume might drive people away and lead to the death of Lemmy. That seems just as plausible but equally unfounded.

I’m sympathetic to your concerns but if someone wants to dodge an instance they don’t want to view for whatever reason they should be able to do that. Blocking posts on an instance from showing up in your ‘all’ feed seems reasonable however, I agree, the members of that instance should be excluded from blanket blocks.

Edit- also, sorry you got downvoted. And I’ll look around for the language options. Thanks.

I’ve got “English” already set so not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Or I could block German language instances. Why do you care what I block?

I don’t speak German.
