    What are your favorite Pokémon attacks?

    Jump

  • the first Pokemon game i owned was XD on the GameCube, and like any good kid i overtrained my starter and ignored the rest of my team. i evolved Eevee into Flareon and Fire Blast quickly became my favorite move, killing anything and everything in just one shot. it only has 5 PP, though, so things started getting tough once trainers had six Pokemon. i eventually reached the Ground-type boss and never did get farther than that lmao. but my soft spot for Fire Blast still remains!

  • Why I ditched Twitter for Bluesky - and hope you will, too!

    Jump

  • The one drawback to Bluesky’s block feature is that a user’s block lists aren’t private. Through third party apps, you can find lists of everyone anyone’s blocked. That probably won’t bother most people, but it’s a potential issue for those who worry that public block lists could be used perniciously by persistent stalkers or harassers.

    The only missing function is the ability to lock your account or go private as you can on Twitter, which would let you hide your account from non-followers while still posting to folks who already follow you.

    But Bluesky has gotten considerable criticism at key points over the last year and a half for failures in handling anti-Black racism in particular. Rudy Fraser wrote extensively about some of these issues along with a deep dive into his goals and challenges as the creator of the now legendary Blacksky feed in a great post a year ago.

    Every time someone recommends me Bluesky, I learn something else about it that makes me never want to make an account. Any one of these three quotes should be a dealbreaker on their own

  • Lemmy users what are some things translators do that absolutely infuriate you ?

  • ah, interesting!

    Jump

  • it always takes me right out of whatever i'm watching when a character says the same word twice and it's translated into two different words. like when "matte! matte!" becomes "wait! stop!" it's a stupid thing to care about and i'm sure translators have their reasons- very easy for me, an idiot who can barely speak one language, to criticize- but it always shatters my immersion

  • What is this, the dark ages?!

    Jump

  • these were standard issue before synthehol was regularly available on starships. can't have too many people asking about the abnormal kidney failure rate in starfleet or they'll start poking around and find our Saurian brandy stash

  • Palworld maker vows to fight Nintendo lawsuit on behalf of fans and indie developers

    Jump

  • any fan could tell the difference, but i can see parents being confused, and they're the ones footing the bill for the vast majority of pokemon fans. pair that with the guns and back in the day if my parents caught wind of it, Pokémon would be banned in my household no matter how hard i tried to explain Palworld was different

    for the record i am very anti-copyright and think Pokémon should be in the public domain by now, and generally hate Nintendo's over-ligitous practices. i also don't understand the patent angle of this action. but i ln this one specific case i can see where they're coming from, as opposed to if they were going after good-faith tributes like Coromon or Cassette Beasts or a ROM hack

  • The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: Cohost and the Fate of Centralized Platforms

    Jump

  • i just have such a hard time wrapling my head around why the fedi is under that level of scrutiny to begin with while everyone assumed cohost would be forever. i had an account there but stopped using it years ago because half the time i tried to log in it was down! come october there will be a plethora of mastodon instances that both predate and have outlived cohost

  • The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: Cohost and the Fate of Centralized Platforms

    Jump

  • last week i was in a conversation with a few people about social media. i guess they were finally leaving xitter and wanted to know where to go. cohost came up and they all made accounts immediately. then i mentioned mastodon and was immediately rebuffed because "sometimes those instances shut down"

    whoops!

  • What hobby was easier to get into than you thought?

    Jump

  • libby is such a game changer. i totally get why a lot of people want to only read physical books but for me, being able to read anywhere at any time instead of having to make a concious decision to find and bring a book with you means i read way way more than i used to
