@[email protected] I loved it, I played the original SIF for about 7 years, then switched to playing DanMachi Memoria Freese, then SIF2 for the 3 months it was open before they shut it down. I miss it alot, because I adore LoveLive! and the music.

@[email protected] I played for a short time when I live in Seattle, but I moved back east in 2014, and there wasn't much activity here, so I dropped it in favor of LoveLive! School Idol Festival.

@[email protected] I honestly didn't even know Ingress was still operational.

@PuddleOfKittens It is very much a mistake to suggest that "traditional" cities grew "organically" or "naturally", or even that they represent "human scale". Human settlement has always been subject to land use restrictions. The European and Japanese cities featured in this article as exemplars evolved they way they did under severe feudal land restrictions, not because there was any kind of conscious choice to build that way. Article is 11 yrs old, "New Urbanism" is no longer fashionable.

@[email protected] I honestly did not know the Fediverse existed until 2022. I hesitated to start an account for a few months, but eventually Elon Musk was confirmed as the new owner of Twitter in Oct 2022, so I shut down my accounts there, and started this one in Dec 2022.

@LibertyLizard I did watch it. Like most videos of its type, it throws up a bunch of relevant-seeming statistics uncritically. You cannot make a bare comparison of rents between cities with wildly differing income structures and land values.

Did the author not wonder why Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are so low on the list, despite being highly desireable places to live?

@LibertyLizard I just feel like this video is going to misinterpret so many things about reality.

I'm curious as to why you think this video is "well-researched". Because it throws a lot of statistics of dubious relelvance on the screen?

@Imperor @dndhomebrew @[email protected] @[email protected] @askgamemasters @worldbuilding @ttrpgs I can only really say that for my part, in my setting of Enrathe, humans, "orcs", "elves", and "dwarves" are actually all the same species who diversified long ago into different cultures, and "halflings" don't exist.

@GarlicBender Unfortunately. Such people give the very idea of Liberty a bad name. They have now become what libertarianism is in the public's eye.

@ajsadauskas @technology These guys are not "libertarians", at all. They are, in fact, the antithesis of libertarian. They are authoritarians who believe in liberty only for themselves.
