Well shit, I always wondered why that community never really got much engagement. Now I know.

That is true. We never got much Dragon Quest at all in the US. (I’ll just keep my Startropics and cope.)

But nonetheless, if it is just Dragon Quest left in Japan, I think it still was a stagnant genre.

It broke inertia in a genre that had been struggling for a long time. A lot of folks have mentioned games like Super Mario RPG which was (one of) the last SNES Squaresoft game(s).

With the Square-Enix merger the franchises of the companies kinda merged together alongside adopting the innovations of MMORPGs.

And so the turn based RPG fell along the wayside, much like the RTS, until E33 renewed interest. So I think E33 is important for what it represents: the viability of a once popular genre ignored by major studios. There’d been smaller time pixel art games, but that was the sort od timecapsule realm it was stuck in.

I know a lot of people who claim they have only one account have at least an alt.

Do you though? Please, let me know what account(s?) ya’ll think I use other than this one and then:

We got folks who can find out who’s who.

If they’re thinking I am still another user on the Fediverse then they’re pretty incompetent at finding out who is who. Otherwise it’s just making idle threats.

I am on sh.itjust.works. We are not federated with Hexbear and this is my only account.

This is what I am talking about. I have had threads made specifically about me on MWOG about these things. Whatever you all attribute to me on hexbear ain’t me. I am not on hexbear and never have been, yet this persists.

Aunt Rainbow took over MWOG. You may as well be talking to goat on voat.

Removed by mod

Modlog says the reason was “spammer” without any other info. They made 2 other threads elsewhere talking about or advertising a game they made, which were deleted, likely by the same mod who just banned them.

Look, this level of hate’s one-sided here so I won’t engage this any further in your farewell thread.

I hope there’s a silver lining to this and you’ll find it restorative. The reply guy life beckons you.

Do you not recall how much the Queen croaking fed the feeds? People love this.

What’s another good instance that isn’t Lemmy and backed by tankies?

Ironically that sentiment is precisely what has driven these developments. The fact that it’s now even causing the user who runs MWOG this kind of grief is just laying it on thick.

lol. lmao even.

(Also a short version.)

Thanks for that!

Yes, though I stated ‘arabic script and alphabet’ as that’s the text style used. There are some different letters used but it’s based in the same alphabet system. Like how most European languages are based in the Roman alphabet. The English wouldn’t consider their language ‘Roman’.

I’m not an expert on the language, and I barely remember arabic scripts and alphabets, but I’m fairly certain the direct translation here isn’t even the common mistake of ‘down with/death to’. I think it’s the unambiguous ‘kill’. As in its saying literally “We will make Trump killed.”

I’d love if someone who knows Farsi can confirm or refute my guess.

Sounds like your boss has a boss and those checkin/nasty grams are how they measure their tasks.

There’s a natural divot on my desk that does it for me.

But I also have my outlook calendar filled with my scheduled hours so my status shows I am always busy (working my schedules hours).

So hasn’t been a problem and it’s been years.

I sort of had this situation in a house I lived at in college. It only got weird some of the time.

There’s definitely a wide range of, uh, dignity in someone’s nudity.

WYKYK.
