    Horny answer incoming:

    If you’re into ERP at all, f-list.net is unparalleled in catering to just about anything you can think of that isn’t outright illegal. There’s a lot of trash as you can imagine, but you can build out a fairly intensive kink list and scroll through an absurd number of character profiles and channels for just about anything.

      Honestly it’s great. I’ve had some really great stories there and met some amazing partners and learned things about kink I just had no idea about before. There are a certain amount of people there clearly for in the moment stuff but also so many passionate, knowledgeable people including some of the most capable DM’s I’ve ever met.

    Amazing library of customizable ambient noises and soundscapes, pretty much all recorded and developed by one guy. I think “Rain on a Tent” is the best rain track available on the internet.

    I love blogs, specially from people with niche interests and experiences. I follow them via RSS. So that’s what I read outside of Lemmy / Reddit / Mastodon.

    Recently I’ve been following the blog written by an IT guy working in a research station in Antarctica (also has a great domain name).

        Yeah the community is so small and everyone playing has been playing awhile and is way above the entry skill level, which makes the matches uninviting to new players so the community gets smaller due to no new blood which just feeds into the problem. the game’s unfortunately on its last legs because of it

          Sounds like someone needs to explain that to the community. Seems stupid but people need to understand that they need to have patience with noobs so more people will play which is good for everyone.

          I’ve seen similar behavior in CSGO casual and called it out. Feel free to be an eletist asshole in comp, but NEVER in casual.

    There used to be this plugin and site called something like “Stumble Upon”. You click on the big Stumble button and it takes you to a random place on the WWW based on your interests. It was awesome. I miss it. Anyone know something similar that still works?

    It’s an AI writing tool for stories. I got about half a dozen stories in progress and switch between them whenever one is starting to get stale.

    It’s nothing fancy, and I’m not a great writer. But I love exploring new worlds this way, building the lore as I go along.

    There are no limits. I’ve brought up before I hold the world record for the most websites having signed up for. I can’t think of a single website out of thousands I’m not on, otherwise I’d sign up.

        A combination of linking all my profiles together, leaving traces of myself on each website (including selfies, intricate life details, my artstyle, vocaroo links, cryptography since I found subtle ways like this to cue I’ve been in certain places, etc.) being able to be quizzed on every website, and a wiki page. There was a world record wiki page (and a companion non-wiki page) where I was registered with the world record, though I’m trying to find it again, Google’s algorithm change this year has thrown Google searching into a bit of uncertainty. Or it may have been deleted.

        One thing that should be noted is, when it comes to world records, sometimes the definitions of a feat have no choice but to be looser than how society sees that feat. For example, we often think of web accounts as being one and the same with the person who made it and use it and always think of it equating to exactly one person, but the world record system for the world record will remind the reader that it’s difficult to see an account as anything more than another inanimate object, so it moreso defines it by account co-identification than it does going to said person to have them log onto all the accounts to prove themselves (though for most websites I can do that on a good day), since there is nothing written in stone that access to something is exclusive to the person who is “seen” as owning it. It’s also not one of those stereotypical world records, as in the world record system (Guinness or otherwise) might have a list of world records that everyone might think of when it comes to world records (such as deepest descent, strongest thing ever pulled, etc.) and then there are world records they have stored away somewhere (because they can) but at the same time not in the spotlight (such as person with the most penpals, person with the most As Seen On TV products, etc.), although the record definitely exists and can be proven.

        Very rarely someone could argue that this occurred. I’m not a native to my area so I rely a lot on the bank logins of my brother for premium purchases, and I do so scarcely, so that much has almost never been an issue as a side effect. One thing I will say is that, if you don’t like unpleasant surprises, don’t sign up for anything belonging to EA. Yahoo was a bummer too.

        Running Win95 on a cell phone.

        Damn thats wild! I remember I wished I could run Windows on a phone back in 00-ish instead of those crappy, brand-specific phone OS’s. What else was I gonna use a phone for, its not like I had anyone to call. Now I can.
