Dunno if I can master this but it came up on RA Roulette and has been pretty fun! I think most of the bosses come from other SMW hacks? I def recognized a few. Some are super broken though lmao

Age is definitely not the problem at all lmao. I've been online for a while since I'm turning 31 soon but my mental health still DRAMATICALLY declined when I finally got a cellphone which wasn't until like... around this time of year in 2017

My hernia surgery was Jan 2020. I can't take pills so they gave me 30 mL liquid oxycodone I think LMAO. And they had me do 5 mL doses day 1 and then half it til it was gone.
2023 it recurred and I had a 2nd and they gave me even less. Thankfully that time was laparoscopic and I didn't even need it

That's pretty wild they did that for you with the amount of work you were having done but what do I know. Here's hoping your pain improves sooner rather than later 🙏

They def do this on purpose with all the addiction problems people develop. My first hernia repair only gave me 2 days worth and they basically had me weening off it before I even started. It was awful

Glad to see this is continuing to make steps in the right direction. Sucks it took all the negative PR for something to happen but it is what it is now

It sucks cause dietary changes aren't seeming to do anything and despite journaling everything, I can't figure out what's causing it :( I'm so miserable

I've managed to catch it once in the RA discord earlier this year. Sometimes people who get timed out get a server muted role. They lose all other roles and their name goes white. My guess is to differentiate them from other unverified users so they don't immediately get let back in.

I've def been trying to be a bit more careful with who I follow on here. Went from like 900 something to 250~ here

Bone @bonecrusher1022.bsky.social · 4d

yea most likely. we had a cat that we'd let outside but it'd just hang around still in our yard. there's so many outside cats here but some ill see go to people's houses and such when they go off

Bone @bonecrusher1022.bsky.social · 4d

There's a cat here, not sure if it's a stray or not, that's starting to get a bit friendlier cause we had some extra food our cats don't like to give it. It's still super skittish and it eats like it's starving :( wish I knew if it belonged to someone or not

Fr I saw so many smug ass posts like this today. Or "I always hated them and now i have a good reason"
They won't care what's already been done or what will in the future either.
If you don't like achievements that's fine just stfu lol

I remember Gears of War still doing unlockable characters and then they just became online multiplayer grind locked. then loot boxes... and battle passes. yuck. It fucking sucked getting those and then having a year pass and your favorite character just never got added!

I regret to inform you I have had achievement hunter brain rot for decades. I totally understand how stupid it is for most people but for me it's just fun to do idk lol. even when i'm raging, I get satisfaction finally doing (most) things

yeah that's literally all they do in the discord 24/7. Very rarely ever ban anyone so I have to block a billion people cause every time people are saying weird/fucked up shit people are like "HOW ABOUT THOSE VIDEO GAMES YALL, WHO LIKES VIDEO GAMES HERE"

also they moved it out of the Pokemon Clover thread to it's own now so here's the follow up post with the new link to that bsky.app/profile/tiet...

Disappointed but not surprised to see this. The topic has come up for years and most admins boast about being "anti-censorship"
There's more I could say but people literally got banned in the past for speaking out against this. Will be interesting how they handle it now that the site has grown 🤔

Retroachievements using the "we're just neutral It's not political!" about allowing a romhack with pokemon named

platforming hate isn't neutral

Yeah that's what happens here. My aunt sometimes just gets a bunch and gives me a couple lol or for Christmas we'll play games for random prizes, some of which are $5 worth of scratch offs
