No, I do not have it wrong.

There was a protest to mark things NSFW, correct, but what I’m talking about was something else. Kbin and Lemmy communities were marked in such a way that it was impossible to look at unless logged in. While logged in it wasn’t marked as NSFW. It also wasn’t a choice of the subreddit moderators. They were blocked by reddit admin themselves to force people to be logged in to see information on how to transfer to Lemmy.

Star Trek.

It’s not even remotely a surprise to anyone that I’m a dedicated Trekkie and have been for quite some time. Also not much of a surprise to those aware of the Trek fandom that sometimes it can be kinda bitter towards shows that don’t fit a certain trend. I happened to like one of those shows and was looking for a place to talk where it wasn’t just constantly being bitched about. I was just googling around and found Startrek.website so I set up an account on lemmy.world to watch stuff over there for a couple months before eventually joining that instance. My original account still exists on lemmy.world and it’s fairly early in the run of a lot of things. I’ve also gotten a few messages to that account simply because it’s a single first name that other people wanted.

Anyway I started posting Trek memes to Risa and it went overboard. Before I realized people were making memes about me and I just sort of stuck around. Startrek.website showed it’s administrators to be flagrantly abusive of not only their power but also of just people so I set up Stamets on this instance. Rest is history.

As someone who used to be vehemently anti-lemmy, it’s a few different reasons.

1. It’s something new. Honestly is as simple as that. Most redditors are straight up threatened by new features, new looks, new anything. New Reddit is an example of that. To be fair it is hideous but it’s also drastically underused according to reddits own metrics. This just stays consistently with everything. People prefer old subs to new, prefer old users to new, old memes to new. Why? Dunno. Could be as simple as just that they know it so it’s comforting.

2. The propaganda that reddit put up against Lemmy was pretty insane. The first few mini-migrations set people up with weird expectations and a lot of them bounced back to reddit with weird notions. Some of it was based on shitty admins or shitty servers (cough lemmy.ml cough) but other things seemed to be almost coordinated against Lemmy. By the time that the big migration from Reddit killing off third party apps/API use a lot of people had heard one or two things and just started spreading it. Redditors often don’t source material and just kinda spread rumors or ‘feelings’ or upvote one idiot who seems like he knows what he’s talking about while blatantly lying. This has never gone away. The same idiots keep whining and being dismissive.

3. Redditors are hateful. Not purely hateful people or anything but the atmosphere encourages hate and division. I still browse reddit occasionally and I’ll check the comments out about a post. It’s always so bitter and angry, snapping out at one another. When every crab in the bucket is pulling you down, you get stuck in that habit too. Until you break free of reddit you don’t realize just how bitter it’s making you. Lemmy doesn’t have those vibes and it can be really off putting to someone still in that bitterness. Kindness and people getting along almost comes off as stupid and naive so you just kinda dismiss the entirety of Lemmy as a whole.

4. This is a conspiracy but I’m positive that Reddit admins are purging a lot of references to Lemmy that don’t show the site in a positive light. When the API shit was happening people kept pointing out that certain communities that were supportive of Lemmy suddenly got locked behind a NSFW curtain that forced users to be logged in to read the community. A lot of people talked about how certain posts and stuff were being removed, especially ones critical of Spez. I don’t think they stopped that campaign and I think they still try to demonize the hell out of Lemmy. Could be because China has a significant hand in reddit now or it could be because Spez has a tiny dick and a tinier ego. Dunno. But I think they’re weighting the scales.

The American election.

A combination of working stupid early hours and depression

Unless you’re an alt of theirs then you’re fine <3

Yeah… their other comments don’t really do anything else to dissuade someone from that conclusion either. Their other comments are all me me me. Calling everyone else selfish because they dare do something that systemglitch doesn’t do. The narcissistic self attention here is on full display. They are taking everything about themselves, painting it on everyone else and then judging them for it because they can’t bear to look inwards.

Maybe dont be so desperate to paint other as the villain.

Dude, you started whining and complaining about people who you’ve invented in your head after basing all of the troubles of people you’ve never met off of what you’ve personally gone through. You literally started this. You don’t get to whine when someone points out your behavior is no different than what you’re complaining about. You created a strawman and lit it on fire.

You’re a narcissist. I’m going to block you now because I can see absolutely zero value from anything that you’re contributing. It’s just malice, hatred, small mindedness, and self absorption. Especially when looking at your other comments in this thread like “I don’t care about peoples birthdays, it’s selfish bullshit and everyone loves me for it once I point that out.” Jesus christ.

All a person can do is deal with themselves and grow

Then why are you projecting your own view of ADHD onto it? Not really dealing with yourself if you’re judging everyone else with ADHD based off your own difficulties.

Only thing I’m rolling my eyes at here is blatant hypocrisy. Pathetic really.

Nope, not a community I’ve ever posted in. I deleted my ST.W account in January.

None of them tried to overthrow democracy.

Try again.

I was banned from lemmy.ml for posting a meme about the fact that gay characters are removed from movies in China. Not even by a mod. By an admin. I’m not remotely surprised they’re pro-shitheap in general

I have no idea but now I really want to try this. I don’t know if I have any characters far enough into the game to respec though. I deleted all my saves like a MORON.

Doing an honor mode run through at the moment. Gonna respec Halsin into this when I can pull him in as a companion. See how well it works.

I agree. The reason I said that though was because you literally came in saying that the build was missing items.

My issue isn’t building off of the build. My issue was your phrasing that didn’t seem to extend from it but try to “fix” it.

Oh yeah I forgot Luminous Armor doesn’t do damage. That being said, still never makes it as part of my build for the aforementioned reasons. You must proc it with Radiant damage which the build barely creates outside of Spirit Guardians and requires a radiant damaging attack which I do not use. Callous Glow Ring also doesn’t fit within my build for the previous reasons so if I’m not using it then luminous armor is effectively worthless.

Like I said. This is my build. I’m not looking to have it fixed or have stuff added that was “missing”. I am not trying to make a broken build for the sake of a broken build. I’m making a build that works really well for me and that I thoroughly enjoy. I do not enjoy simply casting a magic missile and having everyone suddenly explode with a bunch of R.O stacks all across the entire field. That’s just not fun for me. I want to have my cleric actively running around the field and slapping shit.

These builds aren’t min maxed or optimized. They’re just ones I like. Speedrunner doesn’t have Champion because I prefer the Natural Explorer/Favored enemy to an expanded crit range. It’s also kind of a significant part of the build as it’s what gives heavy armor which I like having on that build.

Same with Flashbang. It’s not missing major components at all. Luminous armor creates a radiant shockwave which is a tiny bit of extra damage and the potential for more R.O. But that only activates on radiant damage and the builds only radiant damage is from Spirit Guardians. The shockwave would only activate in the same area as the guardians. Meanwhile Yuan-Ti cranks your AC higher and makes you harder to kill which is the point of the class, zipping around enemies and applying damage while they can’t stop you. As for the glow ring, I just sort of forgot it even existed. Can add a tiny bit of extra damage (or trigger localized shockwaves if you want the Luminous Armor) but isn’t an enormous boost. I usually go for Ring of Regeneration in act 3 to protect the cleric just the tiniest bit or Ring of Free Action to make sure that the cleric can move around the battlefield and not lock up immediately.

Ah I made an oopsy. I was copy/pasting a table and forgot to change the Wisdom. It should be 10 and not 12.

Oh I’m going to have to try this one

It is so much fun. I usually have Gale with me and have him hasten my Tav. From then on it’s mayhem. I usually have all 3 of these builds in the same party with Gale on the side and we’re fucking unstoppable. Tactician is an absolute joke. I haven’t tried Honor Mode yet. Been wanting to do that with someone.

I am a dumb.

Thank you lol I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice. But thank you <3
