Reply to comment by Moonside in I miss the old days of SRS by cowloom
I never visited the chapo subreddit; all I heard about it was secondhand complaining about the liberals on it from /r/ShitLiberalsSay. When SRS was starting to wane, I migrated to other leftist/socialist subreddits for a while. Then I got involved with IRL organizing, and realized half the stuff people were making a hullabaloo about on the internet wasn't really important.
I guess some of my criticisms of SRS are that the community was too quick to dogpile ignorant redditors who came across the sub and simply didn't understand things. Maybe it's hard for other people, but it's easy for me to tell the difference between an actual concern troll and someone with ignorant views who's attempting to engage in good faith, and I think flaming the latter did a real disservice to our movement. I understand the conditions that led to this state of affairs (the sub being constantly brigaded by trolls), but if someone's genuine questions were met with hostility, they probably wouldn't be giving feminism a second thought, and may even double down on their reactionary views. I also think rule x may have caused as many problems as it solved; IRL organizing has taught me the vital importance of principled criticism & self criticism, and by disallowing that, it meant that actual problems within the community couldn't be addressed (cowloom was benned for this comment). There were a few other things, like the prevalence of identity reductionist politics, liberal feminism & liberalism in general, SRS disco turning into SRS drubbing every second thread, but I digress.

That's pretty cool, I guess I've known how to program for a few years less than that, though I've only done it for a career for about a year (programming for a corporation sucked the life out of me). Mostly I've just done hobby stuff, but it's cool to know that there are other programmers here

That's cool, I may check it out sometime! Not that I have an actual game I want to make, I've just made a few simple hobby games for fun. Bonus points for it being FOSS as well

Nah they got shot completely out of the solar system. It is a rock though, and the Pioneer spacecraft used to ride these babies for miles

That sounds pretty fun, how is Godot for game development? I've only ever used Game Maker, and later C++/SFML.

Very late to this post, but another possible solution could be to cull the oldest uploaded images when we get close to storage capacity

Now I'm curious to see how someone would make a horror game with frutiger aero aesthetics, those two seem pretty disparate. Then again day horror is a thing, so maybe someone could pull it off

I see, perhaps I could propose the protein-potent peanut as a provision to purposefully pursue?
Or any kind of nuts or beans tbh, but most of those don't start with the letter p
