So that’s the piefed dev… and I’ll assume the two others consist of the most overtly zionist admins in the FHF corporate team? (Wait, I’m sorry “corpasluts”.)
I mean just what is FHF going to do without their CFO? Or will they keep him onboard as a reliable financial manager who just hates the fediverse?
Oh it’s been a fun the last couple of weeks on here, I can tell you that. The vindication feels great.
I cannot attest to any of it other than it exists:

Forked during this or the last dramatic debacle with the dev.
Yeah the whole concept was dogshit from the beginning. It solved no problem except as an exercise of control.
Perchance, comrade.
Just before this whole thing, the piefed dev pushed an update that capped how many up/downvotes piefed users can do per day. They set the cap to effectively punish like 3 users who posted all day everyday.
One of those users had a “I will leave unless you reconsider.” moment and they didn’t give half a shit. And they didn’t even make the list. None of their communities did.
So just a couple devs thrashing around causing as much collateral damage as possible.
But hey, I don’t actually eat hot sauce.
Then it was probably a poor analogy to use.
Best I can say is you mentioned people being ‘conditioned’ to eat hot sauce or not. The experience of extreme hot sauces is largely about how each person react to the same sauce. Each experience is different because the conditioning is different for everyone, which is the whole point.
Fromsoft games are the same way. They don’t have any calibration for conditioning because it’s all about how well (or if) you can condition yourself to able to experience it.
I’m just going to have to restate the exact same analogy and hope you get it this time.
I am just trying to engage with the context of your points. I used Hot Ones to build on it and offer a counterpoint: the games are about how you tackle the spicy mountain, which by design is the same as everyone else’s spicy mountain.
Giving me access to mild hot sauce does not reduce your access to the extra spicy stuff. Letting me reduce the Guardian Ape’s health by half in my save file does not reduce the Guardian Ape’s health in yours.
All true and fine.
It just ensures that we both have an equivalent experience to each other.
Fundamentally we have not. An ‘extra mild’ The Bomb Beyond Insanity, that is an actual palatable smoke flavor, is just not the equivalent experience as suffering through the real deal.
But, for the record, it’s 100% appropriate to clown on people who suffer those million scoville hot sauces on their food like it is an enjoyable culinary experience. Don’t play the game if you don’t have fun, and no one should suffer the fools who think you should.
So with the Hot Ones analogy. The show is about interviewing guest tackling the challenge of hot sauces.
People tap out, and that’s a part of the show. There’s challenges within the show as well: (no milk, etc.)
If guests just ate the first wing 10 times, or it was just Sean Evans eating the wings and asking questions it’d just be a different show. (And there are shows where the guests just eat nornsl chicken wings, which is fine. They just sren’t Hot Ones.)
If Sean Evans weren’t eating the wings, however, the premise of the show is still there. Him joining in just helps the guest keep trying.
You can quit, you can not even play at all. If you’re not having fun you shouldn’t feel forced either way. Tap out, drink the milk, eat the ice cream.
At a certain point there’s going to be a “Challenge Mode: The Game” that is not conducive to an Easy Mode.
Well, “soulslike” is a pretty garbage category, honestly. I have played a lot of games that call themselvea soulslikes, and I pretty much only trust Miyazaki with that genre.
Miyazaki’s quote is wrong for what the gaming industry labels ‘soulslikes’, but not necessarily the games he has designed and created. Because a lot of soulslikes don’t do what Miyazaki tries to do.
And I get what you mean about the game being easier as relative. But there’s also the fact that people do challenge runs in all kinds of games. It’s that drive to be challenged and do something harder, so it is not easier, is at the root of what draws people.
Well first off, fuck them. That’s just what happens when people lose at PvP.
His quote is absolutely right, and especially with Dark Souls 1. There’s so many ways to approach the game that isn’t the meme pvp build everyone references out the gate.
Not the fingerlings!
My instance hosts anti-communism and drone-kill footage communities so I guess we got a pass by default.
I am kinda surprised I am not on there. But then again, the users that would want me on the list would be way more mad about me not being on it, so it’s kinda win-win for me.

These keywords are hilarious.
Yeah you’d be overthinking it since the dev wasn’t doing much themselves. The blacklist was not put together coherently and appears to be mostly built by emotion, especially in light of the dev’s “I’m not sorry at all” response.
The dev is a part of a corporate structure they formed where they’re named CFO. They are, in their mind, Fediverse C-suite, and they act accordingly.
- People who (intentionally?) take others out of context just to attack them
Hah. Not with that list they’ve curated. Not in the slightest.
The distance left and right doesn’t have to be the same in each direction.
Which makes the center arbitrarily defined in the exact way I stated. Precisely.
The “center” is a pretty worthless intangible the moment parameters are defined beyond “left” and “right”. It is interchangeably used as an arbitrary midpoint in policy and as a whole range of politics between, if not including, socialism and fascism.
Determining how ‘far, far’ right you need to go to calibrate for the ‘far, far left’ stretches and constrains where anything falls.
But let’s be real, centrism itself relies on being able to switch sides in that ‘slightly’ range.
Only thing I could add is that the Piefed dev has thus far been supportive of the Tesseract dev in their blacklisting decisions. But I dunno about this DDOS stuff though.
