Yup. I got banned from a sub for using the verb "to Luigi" (someone)

After many years, knowing all too well that it's the kind of game that would have driven me crazy, I started Factorio. I am indeed struggling not to have it swallow my life whole.

I went very far with it but gave up because I was feeling quite fatigued. I think I'm a bit after the underwater (?) Highway. It's a fine game but I don't have the patience for that kind of grind and repetition anymore

Is this guy for real?

I'm using Boost for both Reddit and Lemmy, and as a quick glance on my phone they look identical. To be honest if I was to open a random thread and look at the comments I wouldn't be able to tell where I am.

• the fact that Vandermeer worked a lot to present himself as THE authority on Weird fiction, with his articles, collections, prefaces to reissues of older books and so forth.

God yes. Fuck shorts. That format should be banned from any platform
