Like warm apple pie.
I’ve played so many it is hard to have a favorite. I like when different games try to incorporate romance, but I still prefer visual novels. I have played so many where you are a guy romancing women (these usually are bad quality and an excuse to see sex, I am fine with sex but at least emphasize the romance) but have been getting into otome games where you are a woman romancing guys. There are still bad tropes in some of these games, like noncon (I only do consensual). There are also queer games like Dream Daddy I enjoyed.
For non-VN I would say I liked Bioware’s games, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon games, Story of Seasons games, Rune Factory games, Persona games, Divinity Original Sin 2, Baldurs Gate 3 (haven’t beaten yet, seems promising), Cyberpunk 2077 (Judy), Life is Strange, and Obsidian/Bethesda (sorta).
I enjoy well-done romance in games. It’s just a taste thing.
I just read this on chapo.chat, what a rollercoaster ride! You can read the admin update here, it looks like they will keep their domain since the auction was cancelled🤞
you do not need to do anything
i am so sorry for the confusion, honestly the whole situation is confusing.
Years ago when we changed to hexbear.net an admin bought the domain name from a domain registrar.
That admin had things come up and wasn’t able to be as active or available.
A small issue with paying for the domain name for the year 2025 happened and the payment was 1 day late.
The domain registrar (digital landlord) took the payment and also put the domain “hexbear.net” up for auction pointing to policy that says if you are late on payment they can auction your domain name.
The admin who owns the domain escalated the issue to the top level up support for the domain registrar. During that time we tried a technical route for moving the domain name to a new registrar, which we did not expect to work. The technical route had a 5 day delay on finding out if it worked or not, during that time is when we set up the vote for what name the community would want in the event we lost hexbear.net
At this moment we still do not know if we have it or not so we are continuing with moving towards hexbear.chat but think that we might have mitigated the worst case scenario with a malicious person getting the hexbear.net domain through the aforementioned technical route.
We are currently working on an updated post to give all the info we have at this time.
Glad it’s resolved: If anyone is curious on the behind-the-scenes the j_s bidder was planning to return the domain but maybe not in the best way. They found a bug in Sav’s site that allowed them to bid without authorizations being placed, and on another account they managed to “win an auction” for low dollar value domain AND transferred it out somehow. Maybe they noticed, might be why their auction interface was in maintenance mode immediately as this was going on (archive from 19 Feb 2025 10:26:35 UTC https://archive.is/qsVg6 ).
It’s still up and on the megathread. I was downloading Xbox 360 games from it the other day.

??? I have no idea what you are on about. I know you definitely wrote the content because you claimed to have written the content. I understand you are exhausted but I really don’t want to talk about this anymore.
I looked at the user you linked but they do not sound how I was describing. The question they asked was confusing but it was not a rambling nightmare. Look at these two links:
https://lemm.ee/post/53623301 (this is your post in c/PTB)
https://www.tumblr.com/deviantartdramahub/774992292343873536/hello-i-am-new-here-i-came-over-from-the-lemmy?source=share (this is what you linked to as your perspective)
The above is definitely you (long walls of text, incoherent at times, my brain feels like it is melting, I do not understand your point, etc.). I knew this post was pretty much you because it sounds just like the links I linked to above. That’s why I thought you were all the same person. I finally read your perspective on tumblr and it confirmed that this is a terminally online, possibly the dumbest drama I’ve read and I do not want to talk about it anymore.
Alright so whoever wrote “commission” used the wrong word. I can’t tell which parts were written by which person and that is a problem. You are doomed to repeat this drama until you all stop. IMO, you should especially fire whoever keeps writing posts like this from your writing group, it is written incredibly badly and uniquely identifies them.
Your analogy does not apply to this situation at all because this is an online anonymous discussion. If I were a mod and banned one of you for breaking a rule, I would ban the other because you all sound exactly the same and that is a red flag for ban evasion. There are no quotes used or any indicator that the account holder did not write the content. Lemmy does not have a ban evasion system the way reddit has, the two different instance admins can share with one another IP addresses and email addresses. This can be easily overcome. Whereas reddit invasively fingerprints you and even that can be side stepped.
There is no smoking gun for your side, this drama is so dumb and terminally online. I suggest if you want to quote one another, do it properly. I think that would clear up the misunderstanding. Or you are all trolls. Who knows.
If I sound like her, it’s because we commission messages and parts of messages stuff for each other
So you, Leni, shinigami, and who knows who else at this point all sound the same because you pay each other to write messages for one another? I admit you all sound the same and I thought you all were the same person: you write long walls of text, you put a bunch of random links in your messages (leading from tumblr to YouTube to deviant art, etc.), and I always feel like my brain is melting when I read your messages.
Did it occur to you that if all of you are writing messages for and with each other on a regular basis on your lemmy accounts to the point people can’t tell the difference, that you all are alts then? All 3 or more of you share these accounts like alts. All of you should stop doing that, all you’ve accomplished is confusion and misleading people into thinking you are trolls. Especially when you drag in Blaze, Cheese Greater, and Drag into this to create more drama? Either you are one singular troll, one person in a system, or separate individuals that are very misguided, possible trolls. This is dumb drama.
I’ve blocked a bunch of instances via Summit and never had a problem. I’ve blocked non-english and NSFW/porn instances. You could try posting in the community !summit@lemmy.world. It’s been working for be since before lemmy made blocking instances an actual feature.
Hexbear was banned because there is a crypto on https://hexbear.io/ and China banned all crypto. China does not actually care about lemmy so much that they blocked hexbear.
There are reactionaries there :/ For instance they make fun of content warnings for vegans. I knew then that wasn’t the place for me.

Disengage.
I’ve repeated myself several times already. I refuse to hold your hand anymore. Ask someone else if reducing types of harm as far as is possible and practicable equates to reducing overall harm. I get the feeling you won’t ask in a vegan community because you already know what they would say to you. Drop the debatebro act and you might not get banned. No promises because I consider myself patient and I’ve already lost my patience with you.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose
You disagree that this is harm reduction? If it was the elimination of all harm no matter what, this would not be on there. I understand you believe you know more about this than the actual vegans, but you should ask them and listen.
Again, ask vegans. Your comments show a lack of understanding them which is why I suggested this.
