I saw an article about it!! I really want to play it but alas don’t have anything that can run it, but once I can get a PS5 it’s totally going on my shopping list!

Man I keep meaning to replay Wildwood Story but I know once I start again that’s all I’m doing for the next few day lol… I love the colony layout editor so much, spent so many hours fine-tuning my colony to make it exactly the way I wanted it

All four games are also on Switch!! That’s where I played them!

I don’t see people talk about the Katamari Damacy games very much which is a shame because I think they’re delightful! I also wish more people talked about Cattails (especially the sequel, Cattails: Wildwood Story), these games deserve more love imo haha

Echoing the others who commented Porkbun, I’ve only ever had good experiences with them! They’re American though

I just think it’s cute lol

Seeing stuff like that makes me feel so thankful to live somewhere with (mostly) functional public transit lol

Animal Crossing Wild World! I like New Horizons a lot too, but there’s just something about Wild World that’s cosy in a way no other game has been able to replicate for me

For me, what worked best has been smaller sites/communities! Specifically art/roleplay spaces (with the caveat these spaces also have a lot of drama and people who live for said drama) and virtual pet sites somehow lol. But I also feel like people online just aren’t as interested in talking or having actual conversations as much as they used to, so it’s less about looking in specific places and more about just… Getting lucky and finding someone on your same wavelength I suppose.

Gaming can be another way to meet people too. Can’t speak from experience there, but my brother was super involved in the Hearts of Iron IV modding community for years and made friends through it!

What a horrible day to have eyes.

Well, nature is… What it is lol. Roman seagulls are built different man, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s traces of rat and pigeon in that

I saw them!! The Italian 24 hour news channel had a “chimney cam” next to the regular broadcast and I was way more invested in the seagull family than the smoke lol

I got one this morning!! Immediately clocked it as a scam lol. I didn’t delete it but it disappeared from my inbox so I guess the account was closed

I feel like of all places to try and scam people lemmy is… Not a good choice? From what I’ve seen (and I haven’t been around too long tbf) the community gravitates towards more tech-savvy and educated people, so unlikely to fall for scams like these. They’d have better luck on Facebook probably, just attach an AI-generated Jesus and they’d make mad cash lmao

My grandmother’s great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?

For something spicier, around the end of Italy’s involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt’s family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt’s family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn’t fit into the bus so they were forced to stay… Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof
