Not whom you asked, but I imagine it tastes vaguely like canned Heineken

I doubt that, if you’re looking for an OG Cube World like you’re probably looking for Veloren

The Farmer Was Replaced — I got this game as a gift on Steam to a friend because they asked for a Python crash course recommendation, as I was assisting him with the learning process (considering that the game doesn’t use the real Python) I ended up playing it myself.
Some resources are surprisingly challenging to gather efficently, and my friend said that the in-game guide didn’t explain basic procedural programming concepts (paraphrased) well enough; he’s planning to start another run, with minimal assistance from me.

I’m not sure I should admit to such things on Lemmy, but I’ve also recently discovered the Peripeteia EA and I’ve played it a few times.

It’s… certainly a game, minus “certainly” — it’s full of bugs, the levels look unfinished (tbf, they are), the Funky Zone™ level is extremely hard if you don’t know the routes by heart, and its gameplay and aesthetics are an acquired taste.

I really enjoyed it (excluding the last currently available level), but I also really enjoy “games” such as X3 or Halo 2 on legendary so my enjoyment doesn’t really mean much.

Didn’t expect for Halo to stick with you this much… a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

… y’all mean it’s going to become even more enshittified?

I did random bullshit written on the Internet for DAYS to get my browser to use a decent file chooser, it’s harder than it has any right to be

• ml user
• replies three times to me, just saying I’m wrong (without explaining any further)
• only says “wrong” and “yeah” with no useful insight whatsoever to anyone even outside this com

You must be very good at building Lego models, because

Then you disagree with the above definition saying “[…] that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users […]”, I’d rather use a definition that excludes basic Twitter screenshots, but I’m not dying on this hill.

… at least,

Also, I mispelled your name too ._.

“Many” may be me editorializing, but “internet people” implies that it’s not just one person posting the same thing in many places around the web and people liking it.

To be fair,

If any idea is a meme, is any meme an idea, and is there a direct causal relationship or is it a coincidence (or, can there be an idea that is not a meme)?
If so, and if the former, then the definition of “meme” is a synonym of “idea” and that would be that, but I don’t think most people use that definition.

Note that I’m somewhat biased, loosely speaking I don’t consider raw microblog quips to fit a community / subreddit / virtual space called “memes”.

I never said I don’t like the screenshot I referenced, I just looked up for “twitter screenshot” on DDG and took a representative link. I find the content of the screenshot mildly amusing.

However, many people (including me) do not consider those to be memes;
if the most widely recognized definition of the word includes them, then I question its usefulness beyond a synonim for “funny quote”.

Care to summarize what those books say that the surface-level Google definition provided to me by Antagonistic doesn’t?
I’m not going to read entire books just to defend my meme against another meme which defends a class of alleged memes.

If the screenshot has been shared widely enough by many different people, yes, it should be considered a meme by definition.

Then let me put it this way:

OP didn’t say that memes can’t be textual in nature, OP complains about snappy Twitter, 4Chan, Reddit (idk about this one? Reddit does have memes in some subs) or similarly sourced screenshots of texts.
Such posts, while possibly humorous, and occasionally a bit funny, are not spread rapidly by Internet users, and rarely posted with any variation.

Example 1 - this is a meme:
“Nanomachines, son!”

Example 2 - this is not a meme:

Just in case you have this problem with other software: it’s probably an XDG desktop portal issue, I haven’t used Sway specifically for a while but it took me a lot of trial and error to wrangle my portals into submission without using Plasma.

You can’t tell me what to do >:c
