  • Don't know about Teamspeak, but you never HAD to pay for Mumble. You could just run the server on any machine you wanted, including the same one as your client.

    I assume you still can, for that matter.

    How do you turn your nose off or deal with a heinous smell?
  • Most of what we experience as taste is actually smell. It's generally not an issue.

    The trick is to not put the smelly thing inside your mouth.

    How do you turn your nose off or deal with a heinous smell?
  • This could be difficult to apply for such an extended period of time, but I generally have good results by just breathing exclusively through my mouth. Pretend you're underwater and breathing through a snorkel.

    This technique has gotten me through many a fart and temporary sewage/fertilizer exposure.

    Why is there so much hentai on Lemmy?
  • Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven't subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.

    It was Donkey Kong Country (SNES) for me
  • I'm sure it works for a lot of people, but for me it's kind of ruined pacing in games. Either you end up overpowered for the main game by doing too much side content, or you end up finishing the main game too early and end up unable to experience the side content in the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Side content tends to be more fun if it is interspersed with the main game, so that there is a steady progression for both, and so that any time-gated side stuff doesn't pile up and end up feeling tedious. But when it's left to the player to manage that balance, they are unlikely to hit a sweet spot. At least, I usually fail to do so. Can't plan an optimal route through the game without reading through a bunch of spoiler-packed guides ahead of time, which destroys organic exploration and feels like work anyway.

    "gaming is dead"
  • Hammerwatch II and Sea of Stars just in the past few weeks. En Garde not far off. The hardest part of gaming is finding the time.

  • It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I've noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It's still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don't click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.

    Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?
  • Viewing the images directly sounds to me like a different context. Browsing the images is more akin to end user activity, i.e. using the server for its intended purpose. Managing the server is more like making sure it's running, that there is enough space allocated, security holes are plugged, software is up-to-date, etc. Administrative tasks. When wearing the admin hat, there wouldn't usually be much of a need to actually look at the photos - you'd be more concerned with file names and metadata, not contents. In that context, the GUI becomes less important. And if you ever do need to see them, you can always fire up the GUI software for that occasional situation.
