The snow biome theme from Terraria is an absolute gem.

This is key. A decade ago I did all three days at the New England Metal and Hardcore festival. Bodies fell from the sky on me. I got punched in the back of the head. I was almost knocked out on multiple occasions. I lost my glasses and was blind for most of the trip. What hurt the most was my feet. The pain was only alleviated when I was running around in the pit and walking back to my motel. I was in my early 20s then. I can’t imagine doing that now.

Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly it came and went. By the time I graduated highschool in 10 it was already falling out of fashion. You could still kinda tell who was apart of it though. The clown makeup went away, but the bangs remained for a while.

Scene kids was a period after goths and before hipsters. It peaked before Myspace was taken over by Facebook. So like 2007-2009. By the time most of them moved on to college, hipsters became a thing and a lot of them grew into that or conformed in some way.

Same. Even as a metalhead adjacent to them, they were still a strange breed of kids. They were harmless though. I couldn’t stand the kids that shit on them for entertainment.

It’s kinda weird and heartwarming to be 30 something and see that style making a comeback. I hope they live as weird a life as we did back then.

You need nuts/seeds. Peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, pistachios. Any high fiber nut and seed will do. If you can get it in bulk, the better. Like 10lbs should last you for well beyond 10 days. But if you need to shit your brains out, well, uh. There it is.

What people like is having one unified account access different platforms and communities. As far as I understand Lemmy right now, it provides the opposite – a bunch of somewhat unified communities where you have to create different accounts in order to interact with each individual instance.

I think what’s confusing people is they think they can use lemmy with mastodon with pixelfed with one account. That’s not necessarily the case. Lemmy is your reddit replacement. Mastodon is Twitter. Pixelfed is instagram. You sign up for lemmy.world and you can use every lemmy connected server. Within each server is it’s own version of reddit. It’s really just adding a server choice on top of reddit/twitter/instagram. You gotta hope the server you’re on doesn’t fail and go away, because you could potentially lose everything on that server. But the whole thing doesn’t come crashing down like a centralized service like Reddit just did. There’s a risk associated with trusting a random server host as opposed to a big corp like reddit, but that’s the fun part of trying to get away from big corp owned internet services.

We’re in the wild west phase of testing new technology so there’s gonna be hiccups and failures. But the bones seem solid so far. We gotta give it time to improve. Much like Reddit was built by the community, moving over to the fedirverse means the same thing and we’re essentially starting over.
