@kaupas24 i'm pretty sure they are post flairs, so examples might be like "meme" or "news" or "review" used for sorting/filtering within a magazine, just haven't been implemented yet

Clicking the button should keep the dialog box open for upload, weirdly hovering does seem to work for me but maybe that's a browser thing (or it's different for comments, idk)? Upload from url is not working yet if that was what you were trying.

@s804 I'll apologise for both the unnecessary descriptor and the pre-emptive bans, please understand I was seeing someone posting at a very high rate to many different magazines and didn't want to wake up to a big mess in my magazines. I've helped mod other communities before and high posting rate was one of the big red flags for bot behaviour. It was not "random" and you also didn't need to troll my comment history with downvotes in retaliation. I've lifted the bans and apologise for being hasty instead of contacting you first.

@TheaoneAndOnly27 So, go to either the page for the magazine or user you want to block, you should see a ᴓ type of symbol which is the block button. On the magazine page it should be just to the right of the subscribe button, and on a user's page it should be just to the right of the follow button. Click that thing and it should go red to indicate your block is successful! Also sometimes it takes a couple seconds to register, just wait it out :)

I think it's temporarily disabled/not yet implemented, ernest can delete them as he is the instance admin but for now maybe your best option is to ask others if they want to come aboard as mods, and hand the keys over to them later on. Perhaps try a thread in /m/ModHelp and/or a pinned thread in your zines asking for help, and y'know, it's ok to feel a bit overwhelmed when you're learning a whole new thing. :)

I suspect anyone pushing ads is probably going to find themselves swiftly defederated, lol

idk how some people want to spread themselves so thin in this way, I have 2 tiny zines to look after and that is already plenty. I think some people are just camping as well, I have visited quite a few freshly-made zines the past few days where there is no welcome, nothing posted, and the mod is not participating anywhere really. I know there has been downtime and lag and folks are busy too, but it is kind of a bummer if they are not even going to try. :/

i saw him last night before i went to bed, now i have seen him again upon waking. feeling truly blessed rn :3

partial to kbeans myself (to explain: kbin beings -> kbeans)

nice publicity for kbin tho :3

The cover art for the Ghoulies movies freaked me out, like I would make a big deal about checking the toilet for those little goblins & needing the main light on in the bathroom so I could be sure they were not hiding in the toilet shadows. I was fine with a lot of other spooky stuff (and love horror now) but those goofy af toilet goblins were a major concern for years.

Ahh I have vivid memories of playing this song on Rock Band Unplugged!

For mine there was very little for me to tinker with, it was a single player Azerothcore repack ready to go, which is good because I am not very technologically skilled! There have been a couple bugs, like a couple of quests are kinda janked, but I can just go into the database and mark them off as done for my character when that happens cos I don't know how to properly fix them. Most of the tinkering was things like, do I want to adjust reputation/skill gains, how much stuff do I want the auctionhouse bot to list, how many profs do I want to allow per character, things like that. But that was all very easy to do thanks to the way the repack was done, and isn't actually necessary because you can just stick with the default settings. The only thing I can't do is PvP because I don't have playerbots, but I never did PvP on WoW anyway so it doesn't affect me much. I prefer it a lot to most of the multiplayer pservers I have tried, but I did tend to play WoW as a single player game mostly anyway! :D

I don't play this often enough lately but Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams is a super simple & cosy game. It's jigsaw puzzles, yes, but you also get to decorate the apartment where you're doing the puzzles. It is just a very chill, no-pressure time and often I will just mess around doing the decor side of it so I have a few different apartment vibes to choose from for when I finally decide to do a puzzle. When I get super sad & unmotivated I will do a really small easy puzzle on the bedroom desk and it helps me to get the feeling that I have completed a thing, which is sometimes enough to help get me moving on non-game things.

@ernest awesome, thanks for all your hard work! :D

I run my own single-player WoW-WotLK server and that is the main comfy game, the other is the Tropico series (mainly 3 & 4). I have tried a few alternatives over the years for both of these and nothing hooks me in as much, but maybe they only hook me in that much because of familiarity or nostalgia? Timberborn is I think the closest that has given me a similar feeling to Tropico (even though they are fairly different!), and I do have Guild Wars 2 which is a lot nicer overall than WoW but doesn't really give the same feeling. I should still give it another shot though, I played it for a little while before I set up the WoW server and really liked that the clothes were so customisable :D But I have been out of the loop so other suggestions would be good too!

Yes, idk if it is anxiety exactly but I definitely find it stressful and discombobulating. But having the backlog sitting there looking at me is also stressful! Probably I need to take pressure off and just try to chill out with a new game, which is sort of the approach I have with drawing, like if I remove the pressure to be instantly good at it and let myself be terrible at it, it actually is a lot more fun for me and I will do it more often.

@Swyperider ahh awesome thank you so much!! :D my other guess was optical character but that made way less sense to me!

Yeah good point! Come to think of it I got a new game late last year that I thought would have a good shot with pushing through that mental block and then some life stuff got very in the way and I just didn't go back to it and forgot about it until now. I should try that one again now that things are slightly less chaotic.

I just looked Gris up and even though I tend to avoid platformers, everything else about it really appeals so I will put it on my wishlist and have a think about whether to splash out for my birthday, thank you!

I have actually! I do remember liking aspects of it but it is a bit too hard for me tbh, so it just ended up being too stressful. But it was a good suggestion anyway!

Those are super cute! Are there places around town or your neighbourhood that people put stickers on? People do this a lot in my neighbourhood on lamp-posts, bollards, all kinds of things really, and I really enjoy looking at all the different stickers come and go over time.

I feel super stagnated when it comes to games anymore. I still want to play but I only ever seem to play the same 2 games which are positively ancient now. I have tried to chip away at my backlog, but I will play for one night and then go right back to my comfy games even if I enjoyed it. Then if I want to try again I have to start over from scratch because too much time will have passed and I can't remember the controls or what I was doing, so it's back to the comfy games again because at least I won't get frustrated.

Maybe I need to try some very short games or something? But also maybe I am just being too picky! I look for things that I think would scratch the same itch as my comfy games but haven't found anything that gets close enough (yet!). I just want to have fun why do I have to make this so difficult?! >_<

Take your pick from a curated selection:

• As a kid: broke my arm doing a cartwheel (was trying to impress an older, cooler cousin)
• As a teen: fell in the pool while scooping leaves out of it with one of those long nets, scraping all the skin off one of my thighs on the pool edge as I fell, then proceeded to scrape the skin off the other shin plus tore out a big toenail in my frantic effort to get out of the pool
• Also as a teen: hit by a car & badly concussed because I did not look before disembarking a tram (this was also the driver's fault for not stopping tho! but I still should have looked, oops)
• This year: fell down the stairs of my loft apartment because I forgot steps were a thing I needed to step on, busting open my elbow and getting a rude shock to the spine in the process (am fine now but it was hard to walk for a few weeks, oops)
