Parasite Eve 2.
But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).
When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they’re hardly informed, you get this. Here’s your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.
“It’s only a cold”
FFS.
I wasn’t being too serious :)
I guess I’ll be boiling the whole lake then… Don’t wanna get amoebas up my bum.
Edit: Bit weird several people need to correct this joke when it’s explained only above how they entered the brain. My comment indicates I wouldn’t be putting my head under water because of it.
Damn.

“There’s been a rumor that – you know, a very nice rumor – that you go outside in the sun or you have heat and it does have an effect on other viruses,”
“I’m going to speak to the medical doctors to see if there’s any way that you can apply light and heat to cure, you know, if you could.”
Plus you’ll own a weapon to protect yourself from other people’s Tanks too… we should all buy tanks, to protect ourselves.
That logic worked before somewhere.
That’s the thing, we all have to compromise. I don’t support it either, but if something unethical happens, and people still want to keep supporting it, we have to at least convince them to use the “best version” of said thing so it’s at least as humane as we can make it possibly be. I’m shocked we still continue to use these complicated and ancient methods of execution that have questionable reliability or ethics when it comes to suffering.
It’d be interesting to see how it would be used for AS for sure!
I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade…
But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn’t power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn’t support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.
Cold turkey since.
Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I’ll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.
I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it’s difficult, but I’ve managed to do it.
Shame there’s not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn’t even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there’s nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn’t be judged for it either. It’s fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user… in most cases ha ha! I’m pro voice and choice! ;D
I’m trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that’s healthy for me personally.
There’s less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn’t down or breaking my comment/post submissions I’ll have a better time engaging with the site, I don’t find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don’t find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.
Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it’s mostly due to less users at this point though.

Do we have any user base statistics for the average age of users for Lemmy compared to the ever growing younger user base of Reddit? (Which isn’t necessarily always a bad thing, I love inclusiveness). I can’t recall being asked to put in my birthday/age when signing up. (I’m just being genuinely dumb, I would usually just look up this stuff myself but I have to rush this comment, sorry!)
People don’t seem as flippant on Lemmy which is fortunate.
I have generally had a better experience when it comes to interaction on here, but I do think there’s frequently degrading comments towards Reddit users, especially ones starting out and posting content directly from Reddit. I think it’s all usually well intentioned though, they’re looking for alternatives, and they wish to get involved and add content. Eventually Lemmy will become more self sufficient when it comes to unique comments or memes for example, but there’s a lot of growing pains to get there.
You are definitely right that it’s not that common an occurrence on the other instances. But yes, I should have clarified these issues are with lemmy.world.
That doesn’t mean someone isn’t going to pull those up to reprimand you, or monitor your work.
There’s privacy from personal things, then there’s overbearing micro management who will literally track “Mouse hovering” and “Keyboard Idle Time” or how long you take to write an email.
Amingst the other creative ways they can try to keep you at a level “non promotable” status or whatever leverage to control you.
I’ve never had to suffer from it, I do my job, but as a systems admin/engineer for over 15 years, I’ve definitely worked at places that implemented it at our expense, or we had to set it up for our clients using it against their own staff.
Don’t forget the agents they install that take screenshots every 10 seconds!
I think a good third of what I have typed or posted so far on Lemmy has never succeeded as submitting them would cause it to stop responding and never compete. Refreshing will bring the page back up and allow me comment, but it’ll not work most the time.
Their downtime has been pretty severe… growing pains, I get it, but it’s not just that.
After several attempts at retyping it all, then trying to copy and paste to try to post again just got to me a bit. It’s taking a lot out of me as I’m personally struggling in life to try to communicate with people, with it being flakey all the time, it’s feels like when you have to repeat yourself, then just give up.
It’s a shame because I wanted to post in me communities, but I couldn’t. I keep seeing “View reply” on my comments, but they frequently never load or just vanish. I do wonder if they’re broken/incomplete replies.

Literally only found this out the other day, great comment. I needed head tracking for beamng to complete my setup and found my phone’s camera obviously outperformed my webcam. No latency over usb! Anyone wanting to know an easy way to head track with a webcam or phone should try to use droidcam with Open track. :)
If I’m walking in a lake waist high to avoid brain amoebas, you’ll get the joke.
