Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
  • Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don't see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I'm a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

    Hear hear. Under the guise of Engagement, corporations have weaponized algorithms to maximize the time you spend on their platforms, and it's absolutely been a race to the bottom, prioritizing Outrage above all else. Hard pass, thanks.

    Corporate goals don't align with that of users like they used to.

  • Is Trolling Getting Worse?
  • Expeditions have way more bugs than standard play, which is a bit of a shame. I had to exit the Fishing expedition because my save file kept freezing, gave up on Expeditions ever since, which sucks since I finished the first twelve.

    Keep in mind though, multiple bases built over the same area may not be trolling- other players may not even see your base when they're building theirs, until they log back in to find a base on top of their own; that's what happened to me on Expedition 12

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? November 12
  • So many conflicting feelings.

    • Book 1 was okay, not too bad, I was curious where it'd go
    • Hated book 2, it was way too dark and I saw the ending coming from a third of the way in
    • Book 3 was also WAY too dark, an absolute downer
    • Book 4 had an amazing character arc over the first third, the rest was pretty okay
    • Loved book 5. Absolutely a masterpiece
    • Seriously enjoyed book 6
    • Book 7 is very good so far!

    They're all SO long, too

  • Currently on Book 7 of the Malazan series by Steven Erikson, "Reaper's Gale". Started book 1 back in June, still working my way through them. The whole series improved tremendously after Book 3 finished, it's been a heck of a ride so far.

  • My new Swatch. Thoughts? [2 MIC]
  • This one is the New Gent Polapurple, SUOK712

    It's from the 2018 line-up, so you won't find it in stores, though other versions of the "New Gent" line can be similar, with different colors etc.

    The face doesn't really change colors; it's more that the coating on the plastic changes the color that's reflecting based on angle, kind of like a CD :)

  • My new Swatch. Thoughts? [2 MIC]

    The plastic face scratches very easily- I've had to buff out 2 scratches in 3 weeks, so I feel like it won't have much longevity for daily use. It's also kinda loud, and can be audibly heard clicking every single second when you're in a quiet space.

    Meet Barley

    Got Barley from the shelter a few weeks back, she's 7. All her life her name has been "Harley", but she responds to "Barley" so we're going with it

    This is becoming a regular occurrence

    Not sure if it's the same mourning Dove as last time but I'm only a little creeped out so it's fine, it's totally fine. This is fine.

    Hypurrtia Sounds

    Our 12 year old Bombay cat, Hypurrtia, and the sounds she makes.

    "Hypurrtia" is intended to be a cat pun of "Hypatia".

    I hope her sounds fill your hearts with joy

    The Cloud Forest at Pretty River Valley, Ontario

    Posted this in a random thread yesterday but figured it probably deserved more views. This is from a rainy day last August, near the peak at Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, Ontario, on the Niagara Escarpment. I watched the clouds rolling in, and then they rolled into and through the forest, creating an absolutely magical scene.

    Hikers are welcome. Trails are very poorly marked. Start at the bottom of the valley for maximum elevation gain. :)

    Planet/Ploehrliou Visit Strawberry Hill, a pink grass paradise in Ploehrliou (59)

    White grass planets are nice, but pink grass is so much more chill. Add to that blue-green seas, pink skies, and a wonderful view of a neighboring ringed planet + moon, and you've got a premier destination for anyone visiting the Galaxy 59 core. Sure, there are some minor storms every now and again, but the pink serpent-butterflies and blue-white nighttime nebulae make up for any intermittent weather inconvenience. Visit today!

    A cat shrine I built
