  • Some stuff like that’s definitely happened to me. My dumbest defeat was after drinking a potion of levitation to get past some disintegration traps, accidentally tapped he wrong part of the screen, thought I might still have enough fuel to make it to the chest and I’d use my spirit chain on the way back… But nope, I fell right on a trap and died. I had an ankh, but not a blessed one, so even tho I could make it back to that room’s entrance I had no way to recover my bag.


  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon is great, it’s an open-source dungeon crawler. Neither adds, nor transactions, micro or otherwise. If you want to pay tho, there’s a donation link for the dev team.

    And if you still want too play GBA games, check check out the Lemuroid emulator, it’s also open source and has no adds. Works for nintendoDS too.

    You can find both of these on F-Droid. They’re also be on Google Play, but since I’ve only tried the F-Droid version idk if the other has adds.


  • Good question, but I guess it also goes down to what you think Jesus was. Do you think he was God Incarnate or had a divine nature? Do you think he was a prophet of God, but himself simply human? Or just a cool guy, but nothing divine? In the first case, you are a Christian, even if you don’t identify with any of the well known versions of Christianity. After all, many different conceptions of Christianity have existed.

    In the third case, I don’t think there is or should be a term for it. After all, is there a word for someone who thinks Marcus Antoninus was a cool guy? If that’s not something that constitutes an important part of who you are and how you think, why should you be called anything in regards to it? Maybe depending on just how much you like him, we might call you a Jesus fan. Jesus fanboy or fangirl at worst. But there needsn’t be a specific word.

    Now, the middle case, where you recognize Jesus as a prophet is an interesting one, because several religions would qualify, including Manichaeism, Islam and Druzism; and as far as I know there isn’t a term that englobes them all without also including Judaism… If I were to invent a term for that, I might go with “jesuic” or “yeshuaic”, by analogy with the word “abrahamic” that englobes those who recognize Abraham as a prophet.




  • The only feature I can think of that Reddit has and Lemmy lacks is the ability to follow users… But that’s been implemented in Kbin and Mbin, and at this point I think it’s less of a missing feature and more of a choice from Lemmy; for the experience to be driven by communities of interest and avoid making a divide between big and small accounts.

    There’s also the inability to post videos… Now uploading them would cause too big a strain on instances, so it’s absent for good reasons; but maybe they could be imbedded from yt or Yeertube links, so that they can be watched without exiting the webpage or client app? Tho the inconvenience is small.

    I think the biggest thing to improve is integration with other fedi platforms. Following accounts may be out of the question, but it’d be cool if the whole Lemmy post could be seen from Mastodon without clicking (but maybe at that point it’s the Masto devs who must fix it?)





  • I’m French and we mostly mearn British English in school. But then again, we’re very close to GB and Japan is very Americanized (occupation and all that). I think a country that’s halfway between them and has no privileged relationship with either should step into this conversation. Like Russia, Mongolia or Kazakhstan. However, as you might have noticed from the previous sentence, I refuse to use the Oxford comma because we don’t use it on French and it doesn’t make sense.









  • I see. Well, you say you’re “not that serious” about wanting to be a biochemist, but is it still something you want ? Since you also said earlier that you couldn’t commit to something else three more years, to keep going in that track doesn’t seem like a bad option.

    Otherwise, if you find a work project involving one or several of the subjects that interest you, that’d be the other good option.

    I’m a student myself, and I’ve jumped a few times from a study to another, but now I’m committing to physics and I don’t intend to let go. But there’s also a few skills and fields of interest I like learning on the side… That’s not a contradiction, everyone is interested in different things and has a skill set that’s doesn’t depend only ln their work. I intend to be a good amateur artist and an informed layman on several subjects, but physics is what I want to study professionally.

    Committing to something doesn’t mean you should give up on all the rest, just that you should set boundaries on what will be the thing you’ll be an professional in and the rest. Even if you go a different path, don’t think of the time you devoted to biochemistry as wasted time… It’ll have fed your culture and skill set. Maybe it’ll be useful to you, maybe not, but either way it’s not a negative thing. A choice is good if it is a choice you’ve made. And you’re not that late anyway, some have “wasted” more years than that.

    Of course, I’m just a student myself, not a teacher or anything. Beside, I’m French and our university systems might be a bit different, so take it with a grain of salt.
