I think a lot of the attitude I saw on mastodon about this like a year ago was one of suspicion that they wanted an open network but didn’t use the fediverse standard

Horrifying

this would be cool, but I could see it causing issues for places like Memory Alpha, which have a really strict and well-defined manual of style and acceptable references. I frequently see things on other wikis that you’d never see on Wookiepedia, Tardis Data Core, and/or Memory Alpha, like fanart embedded in articles, links to YouTube videos, incomplete drafts without proper tagging, etc.

EDIT: Conversely I could really see it benefiting the smaller wikis, especially ones with lots of overlap with each other (all the various Marvel/DC wikis, the specific Clone Wars wiki separate from the main Star Wars one, etc)

Do you feel that the PCs actually pretty smart, but the DM is still making jokes like they aren’t? Or is it some of the PCs are using “oh I’m dumb” as an excuse to derail gameplay and ruin ingame plans?

I think people have lots of definitions for what constitutes railroading. I personally don’t think anything in the meme constitutes going off the rails.

In my view, if you build or plan the next session based on where you think they’re gonna go next and what they seem like they want to do as players, and then someone goes “Well can I actually just make a 90-degree turn off the road to the city that we’re talked about going to last week into these random woods instead of engaging with the hours of content you made for us,” you aren’t railroading them for going “sure, but I’ll have to pause the session here so I can put the time and prep into this that you deserve as players, or we play Dnd today.”

Matt Colville has a great vid on this, but I can’t remember its title. I think he’s done a few videos that talked about railroading.

The GM has the power to present a heist, but unless the GM is really railroady, the players have the power to make it a ransom, a demolition job or just ignore everything and join the circus.

This doesn’t sound contradictory to “planning a heist”. I guess I just took it to mean that the setup was a heist and that the punchline was that they had little control over the tone during actual play. I feel like ransoms, a demolition job, or joining in the circus fall within the “heist” aesthetic and narrative.

I really hate how interwiki navigation sucks on Fandom. Like, they’ve done all this branding and centralizing of the Fandom platform, yet I’m pretty sure they only fairly recently started logging you in on all wikis whenever you signed in on one.

Its all just to try and be some hip pop culture thing for use to “consoom” without any effort to actually take advantage of being a central platform for the repository of lore from across culture.

Okay and? Like, you’ve listed the problem, which I think was already known to anyone passionate enough to care about PeerTube and to want it to grow, do you have any ideas or solutions or are you only here to demoralize and discourage?

I’d really like for PeerTube to take off, especially with how YouTube/Google seem to be escalating the war on adblockers.

keep it all inside and one day, die

Did you like tell them? Have you been reporting it?

This is so important to know, because it matters if this is from willful negligence or simply because no one has brought it up and the instance admin(s) think it’s smooth sailing.

I only watched it all for the second time since it came out a couple of weeks back (I sort of fell off the Doctor Who bandwagon and have been getting back on. It was gradual, where first I just watched everything 1 time as it came out). I actually had to pace myself with some of the scenes – and it made me want to watch “Years and Years” that he produced or wrote given how dystopian and much more uncomfortable certain aspects of Children of Earth felt 10+ years later.

God forbid the series have relatable stakes and be grounded. Gimme my silly space fantasy 100% all the time. ./s

Chibber’s first series was also kinda earthbound too. I always preferred when Earth was in danger instead of some weird Doctor-centric plot involving his impeding death and how he gets out of it like dominated Moffat-era who.

Series 2 dials it back somewhat, and Series 3 is pretty chaste, although there is still nudity.

oh god…

Wait this is legit?

There is absolutely a segment of Mastodon users who behave like they do, and tbh I think there should always be small instances, but i also think this will be a great improvement.

About a year. I found it after cleaning up an event. Took it home, soaked it for 24 hours, and now it’s covered in stickers.

They’ll probably whine and kick about it. When did Cast Members unionise? Was it recently? I would guess they’ve been unionised a while, as American corporations weren’t so anti-union until Reagan.
