Yeah that’s super fucked up. Who the hell thinks this shit is a good idea. I’m so tired.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions in either direction but it’s entirely possible that people may not be speaking out because it may upset people who could potentially choose to cast them (or not) in future roles.

I am an admin on another wiki that used to be on Gamepedia before the Fandom buyout. We forked immediately. I have also been self hosting a wiki for another game since early 2017. Completely worth it. Fandom has always had terrible user experience, and frankly they do not care about their users at all. Maybe their community-level staff do, but definitely not the higher ups. I’ve chatted with them directly when we were planning to fork. They’re only in it for the money, not for the good of the editors or readers. They make ridiculous changes that are great for advertisers but completely subvert the user experience and actual content on the page. They’ve also let go a lot of their staff for nonsensical reasons. I really hope the Minecraft wiki goes through with the fork, and that more and more wikis follow. It’s absurd how much of a monopoly they have, given how awful their service is. I for one will be happy to visit the Minecraft wiki again, as someone who plays occasionally, but not often enough to be keeping tabs on all the new features and updates. But I boycott Fandom wikis on principle so I haven’t been there in years.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on one of those apps but do they not just ask for your birthday and simply calculate your age…? Surely dating apps don’t require you to update your age manually every year right…

I guess if you’re not using an app then sure but you could just as well tell your birth year and if it’s close enough it’s probably fine. 🤷

All clothes should be accepted based on functionality and practicality regardless of gender.

I get super lost in them. Honestly even if it isn’t open world, if it’s still a 3d overworld, I will get lost. I think what saves me is helpful accessibility features like in Xenoblade 3 for example, with the glowing red line on the ground leading you toward your destination. It won’t clear your obstacles for you but it will help you orient yourself and not get super lost. I would never get through a game like that without that feature. Anything less is honestly not sufficient for me to not get lost, unfortunately. I do try to play other games but I will absolutely be lost for ages in them.
