Funny little consequence of making Rising Tide a prerequisite to Sedna Junction is that nobody's going to see The Man In The Wall at the reliquary drive in the quest unless they replay it. That little teaser is no longer part of the new player experience.

Sorry if this is off-topic but I want to get some input from the Warframe community on a hunch I have. I've been talking to the developers of a game about playing as a cellular organism and evolving into a complex creature - think Spore. And there's this question about demographics, about whether this kind of game can appeal to an average person.

I think the kinds of players that might enjoy a game like Spore are the same kind of players who play Warframe and enjoy the infested aspects like Helminth. Or the players who play Starcraft or No Man's Sky and like the living machine-organisms in those. People with a love for biological gaming. Does this idea make sense to other Warframe players, or am I talking nonsense?

I already have a railjack, but my swarmmate needs one to do the new war, and is having trouble with the missions. I had trouble too when I got my railjack. The enemies were easy to kill, but on the earth mission in particular I struggled so much to keep enemies out of the area, since it had two sides with a big rock in the middle. I couldn't cover both sides at the same time so it took ages. I saw a lot of people complaining that each player is allowed their own railjack, but I have no problem with that. My complaint is why can't you help your friends on the quest? There's no story reason for it, it seem silly.

We collected this many tamms and it still wasn't enough to get a decree. Every time we spoke to the shepherd boy, it would insta-abandon the quest as soon as we exited dialogue. Tamms would keep on spawning around the anecdote area

Yes, someone actually did this and I found it running on our server

I told my boss I had an idea for a program that could improve efficiency across much of the business, and he let me build it on company time. In the long term, he wanted to be able to sell it to other companies. However, the program never got implemented due to personnel mismanagement, and I'd rather be able to post it on my github under a free licence so I can use it as a resume item, and at least someone would have the chance to actually use it. It's all still in my head, and I could write it again if I wanted. If I do, is it illegal to publish it? What if I write it in a different language? Do I need to change the variable names? I did plenty of research and planning on company time to build it, and it's not like I can research it again, it's all still in my head.

Blahaj's admin has refederated with Hexbear, using most Blahaj users unhappy and baffled. No communication from the admins regarding the change, though one user speculated it was a halloween trick. Multiple pings to the admin Ada have gone unanswered, even though Ada is clearly still active on Lemmy.

Eating food in general? Hard. Eating vegan in comparison with eating carnic? Easy.

Mum: tries to make you eat vegetables for 18 years
Carnists: Man, I wish there were something vegans could eat instead of meat

I recently made a new account on lemmy.blahaj.zone, because I’ve been harassed and doxxed on my old account and I wanted a fresh start with a more lighthearted online identity that I could be more open about my gender identity on. I’d heard blahaj zone was good for trans people, so I made my account there. And yeah, [email protected] removed my post discussing neuronormativism from a queer perspective, but I hoped maybe “the trans instance” would be friendlier to trans people.

A couple days after making my account, I saw someone on Blahaj engaging in the tired old cliche of “I hate politics, there’s no politics on my social media and I want to keep it that way!” Well we’ve all heard the joke that the two races are white and political, the two genders are male and political, and the two sexualities are straight and political. Hatred of politics is a transphobic, sexist, and racist trope. And having sufferred harassment and abuse from people inside the queer community who “hated politics” and saw trans or nonbinary or xenogender identities as political, I knew this kind of speech was going to make bigots feel comfortable saying they also hate politics, and they think us trans people are it.

So, I responded to the transphobia. I started out by attempting to educate them on what politics actually means. But I was interrupted by the Blahaj admin Ada, who told me that politics is “anything I disagree with”, and that indeed politics isn’t welcome on Blahaj. This language was deeply triggering of my past issues dealing with abuse, and I knew from past experience this sort of thing is said by people who are getting ready to say some enbyphobic or racist hate speech. It is especially common for white queer people to talk this way to BIPOC queer people. I tried to reason with Ada, explained the history of the cliche, the trauma it’s caused many trans people, and the consequences this kind of speech will have on the community here, making us all less safe.

Ada wasn’t having it. She minimised my concerns by reducing them to my personal trauma while ignoring my wider concerns for others’ safety, and weaponised my PTSD to paint my opinions as invalid because I am mentally ill. She said she owns Blahaj, and she gets to do whatever she wants with it, and nobody is allowed to express a differing opinion, even one that protects trans people, because that’s politics. At the time I thought her concern was me speaking directly to transphobes and making them feel uncomfortable by calling out their actions, so I said I’d just report it instead, and she banned my account.

This behaviour protects transphobes, WILL lead to trans and BIPOC people being harassed on this instance, attacks and gaslights victims of trauma (my concerns can’t be valid because I have a mental illness), and forces out any trans person with a commitment to safety for the community.

EDIT: The person who originally posted the transphobic views on politics is now misgendering me and calling me a "guy" despite me being very openly nonbinary: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/2319669. And I didn't call them autistic at any point.
