one thing I don't like is when people talk about hypothetical automated futures where nobody has to work, and say they could be bad because their lives would be "sapped of meaning." like get over it big dog, get a hobby

posts are knocking at your door asking if you've heard the good word of their god, Takes, and under no circumstances do you have to convert and you especially do not need to debate them. you can just not answer the door. it's fine, they'll move on, and so will you

disingenuous and utterly misleading reporting by RPS here: Discord did not suffer any kind of breach this is a completely-unaffiliated-with-Discord service

Gaming chat app Discord has suffered another user data breach, with a suspected 1 million email addresses stolen alongside (potentially many more) user IDs and IP addresses. While Discord was not targeted directly, third party security service Double Counter have reported a "deliberate, multi-stage attack" wherein hackers spent nearly six hours poking around their infrastructure before the vulnerability was closed.

Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers, promising to detect and block unsanctioned alt accounts and prevent hostile 'raids' by large groups of malicious users. While its efficacy in that mission is debated by Discord users, and the service has previously been accused of selling user data for revenue, the fact is that Double Counter can collect and store personal info of the users that visit its 'protected' servers. Info that, now, has been partly or entirely nicked by Internet miscreants.

By Double Counter’s own estimates, around 1 million user email addresses have been affected, with databases of Discord IDs, usernames, IP addresses, and even location info for up to 28 million users also "partly" copied by the hackers. Security breach trackers Have I Been Pwned further report that 275,000 of the pinched emails and usernames have since been posted publicly.

I have somewhere further I want to go with this but the general internet in its current status remains unprepared for the bombshell Take that comes with it, and likely won't for decades, as it would shake the concept of Discourse™ in its entirety you may be able to guess from that alone

alice @lapismaid.bsky.social · 23h

let's take this a step further and say, a majority of these people are also eager to convert others. once again; not necessarily in a specifically religious context, the specific religion or what takes its role is not the important part. that would instead be the "victory" of converting someone

I feel like this is more down to mentality than specific to fromsoft (but certainly the case for games inspired by them) but regardless I think about how many people these days give on games like this with "I'm not good at this stuff" when a bit of exploring would fix the actual problem

the age old "autistic people don't understand social cues" stereotype shit sucks not just because it's wrong, but because people who say that broadly don't even actually understand the cues themselves, much less their own behaviors. they just accept them as a given without question

would not be surprised if this is like. a real documented phenomenon. especially with people who leave religious upbringings but haven't dealt with the impact it had on their mentality

alice @lapismaid.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

developing a theory that a majority of people crave religious zealotry even when not being religious themselves. in this case, other communities or ideals take the place of religion in this context and are functionally interchangeable; the act of zealotry itself is the key appeal

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

I think every human being needs to experience a little bit of suffering to be emotionally complete but I also think that suffering should be on the level of "lost an entire weekend to Pooh's Home Run Derby and didn't even win" and not "subjected to inhumane systemic violence"

sword of night and flame being a mixed int/faith weapon is actually exciting for how wild the spell variety for that stat spread will be. good use of the Golden Order Seal too? throw a little Arcane investment in there for some spell reqs and I'll have, like, everything I could ever want available

YEAH dungeon exploration is really heavily fleshed out, there's even a postgame dungeon that apparently gets pretty crazy, I never did it myself though. It's squarely for me the 3DS FE I care least for - im very much an Awakening and Conquest girl - but it's very clearly a passion project from IS

Honestly worthwhile from a series history perspective alone, a lot of SoV can be seen pretty heavily iterated in later games, particularly 3H/FW...! Combat Arts got their start there, a forging system veeery similar to Engage, dungeon exploration... lots of things that show up in later games!

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of
