  • I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

    1. If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
    2. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
    3. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored

    When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.






  • Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

    Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

    I’ve just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

    Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

    (also, what’s the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)


  • I have - I’ve played all 3 Grandia games. The second is really good, and it refines the battle system in some nice ways, but it’s a (slightly) smaller, more character driven story that loses a bit of the grand, somewhat naive, adventurous spirit that makes the first game so unique and satisfying.

    There’s a large number of people who prefer Grandia 2, and for good reason, but I prefer the characters and story of Grandia 1. If you haven’t played either, I recommend playing both in order. Grandia 3 is a bit of a letdown in comparison, but I still really enjoyed it and think it gets a bit more hate than it deserves.











  • “Framerules” in Super Mario Bros. speedrunning on NES is probably the most memed analogy for a (very slightly) more complicated concept I know of.

    The game can only send you to a new level every 21 frames (about .3 seconds), so there are tons of levels where timesaves don’t lead to any benefit, because you have to save a full .3 seconds in order to see any benefit.

    In the community, this has been explained with the same analogy so many times that “Imagine there’s a bus” has become a well-known meme.

    So, imagine there’s a bus that only leaves the station every .3 seconds (21 frames). Because the bus only leaves at the times on its schedule, arriving early for the bus doesn’t get you to your destination any faster, because you still have to wait for the time the bus will leave. For this reason, any new time saves in SMB1 must reach a new “framerule” (get there early enough to catch the previous bus) for there to be any real timesave.
