  • But text games are pretty cool tho

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • Ja, ich habe bisher von keinen dieser Maßnahmen mitbekommen. Ich habe nicht absichtlich Falschinformationen verbreitet, ich habe den Beitrag falsch verstanden, wie ich auch an anderer Stelle eingestehe.

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • oooh okay, yeah that would be amazing.

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • Entschuldigung, kam das als Meckern rüber? Würde mir wünschen, nicht so passiv-aggressiv angesprochen zu werden. Das ist nicht nett.

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • That's the first time I heard about that. Do you have a source?

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • Genau, ich dann 76€. Oder gibt es irgendwo eine Quelle wo steht, dass die 29€ Teil meines Semesterbeitrages werden?

    Edit: I stand corrected. Ich würde mir trotzdem nen freundlicheren Umgang wünschen.

  • 29-euro Deutschlandticket announced for students in Germany
  • Ich versteh nicht so recht, wieso unser Semesterticket nicht schlicht in ein Deutschlandticket umgewandelt wird oder wir nur die Differenz zahlen. Der Mobilitätsbeitrag beträgt 220€ pro Semester, also knapp 37€ im Monat. Somit zahlen wir am Ende mehr als der Otto-Normal Bürger für sein Deutschlandticket.

    Short reply in English: I don't understand why we should pay more than the usual user. We already pay 220€ per semester, which equals to roughly around 37€ per month.

  • Magic the Gathering: Arena grabbed my attention again after our friend group picked up the cards again. When I dont play modern stuff I'll boot up my PS2 and play Monster Hunter 2 (DOS) online. Some smart folks brought back a private server for the old PS2 era games. Great Community (MHOLDSCHOOL Discord, also hosts of the Server) and a change of pace.

  • Today I learned @lemmy.ml Manu @feddit.de
    TIL about Robert Richards, a Du Pont heir who avoided jail time after sexually abusing his 3 year old daughter
    www.forbes.com How A Du Pont Heir Avoided Jail Time For A Heinous Crime

    Robert Richards, an heir to the DuPont company, was convicted of raping his daughter in 2009. He served no jail time, leading many to wonder if his wealth influenced the ultimate sentencing.

  • Probably because Social Media is their ad platform.

  • Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine
  • I did at some point, but I keep mixing it up with my native language rule for quotations. I study both german and english language and should actually know better, lol. The rules of written language are fascinating to me, so I appreciate any corrections!

  • Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine
  • That’s good to know, thank you! I‘ll try to keep it in mind from now on.

  • Over 50% of all steam games have never made over $1000
  • There‘s no mention of ingame purchase revenue, so I assume they aren’t included?

  • Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine
  • Hey there! Don’t want to nitpick, but it is spelled „you‘re“ in your case. „Your“ is used when you‘re talking about possessive attribution. „Your car“ vs „you‘re (you are) driving a car“.

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • Dropped Reddit and never went back.

    Edit: Gotta take the flow and promote !bassment@feddit.de while this post is hot. A community for Bass-Guitar players I've been building since the Reddit blackout. Come join us!

  • PS2 Era Monster Hunter 1, G and DOS are finally online again!
  • Was exactly the same for me. Was so hyped once the DOS server opened up for public access. I‘ve played my fair share of MH1 online back in the days so this was like a dream come true.

    What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
  • I went back to PS2 era games. This was the golden era imo, where games came out in a playable state and an amazing amount of content. Right now I‘m playing a completely English translated version of Monster Hunter 2 on a private server that went live about a month ago, it’s amazing.

  • What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
  • It’s just part of my personality by now and I don’t feel bad about it any more. I just keep adding skills to my repertoire and thus have a broad spectrum of things I can talk about and relate with other people.

    My Warwick strap locks have worn out and snapped off right in the middle of filming a music video..

    Which strap locks did you find reliable? Afaik Schaller and Dunlop offer some, but I've never seen them in use.

    If you could build a bass in any way you desire, what would it be like?

    I'm contemplating to build a bass after I'm done with my other projects, so I was wondering what specs others are into. Would you go with:

    • A wax finish or color coating?
    • How many strings do you prefer?
    • Fretless, fretted, or even fan-fret?
    • What about scale length?

    So many options there. What would you do if money wouldn't matter?

    Begrenzung bestimmter Communities in /all möglich?

    Ich nutze All gerne um neue Communities zu finden. Zurzeit nimmt aber die Memeflut überhand, so dass ich nahezu keinen relevanten Content finde. Aktuell sind bei mir so zum Beispiel 14 von 20 Posts auf der ersten Seite von /all Memes.

    Gibt es da eine Möglichkeit, das irgendwie einzudämmen? Ich würde ungerne anfangen, die ganzen Communities zu blockieren. Wäre schön wenn es da eine Option gäbe, z.B. jeder Community nur einen Beitrag pro Seite unter /all zu haben.

    Can't sort by All anymore: Several pages filled with Memes only

    I love me a meme or two a day, but I can't sort by "all" anymore. What can I do about that? I already unsubbed from c/memes because otherwise my subscribed filter would be filled as well.

    What I like the most is that they keep stock of their full production line. Would you pay a visit if you were in Japan?

    My „Partinez“ - some kind of partscaster

    Hey everyone!

    I recently finished my partscaster made from an old RG421 body and 90s Harper neck. What do you think? Painted it black with a pearl golden finish.

    There was quite some work to be done, but just to name a few things I did: Fixed the trussrod, complete fret job, fixed body damage, chizeled new pickup cavities, modified neck shape, installed fluorescent side dots, complete new paint job and so on..

    It certainly has some flaws like the scratches on the front that doesn’t seem to polish out and a few nicks here and there, but I‘m absolutely satisfied with the overall result!

    I Learned quite a thing or two throughout the process and already began working on another guitar, but this time with a body built from scratch. Hopefully this time without messing up the paint job, lol.

    Hope you like it!

    What is something you wish you knew when you first started playing bass?
