Healthy debate is interesting - even trolls are interesting in their way - but I haven’t seen many comment threads ending up having to be locked. Not on NL, anyway. Bit of an odd turn.
@Krull I agree. The moderation was feeling a bit heavy handed for those articles. They locked and then unlock the article during different times. It’s interesting and I’ve never seen that strategy employed on any site that I can think of.
@Krull - I’ve been a reader a lot longer than I’ve been a member, and I’d be willing to wager blindly and at unfavorable odds that more comment sections have been locked in the last two years than in all the years prior combined. It was a rare event. I blame idiots. It would be convenient to blame it on bored idiots during the pandemic, but the turn came prior to that, so... we’re doomed.
@bimmy-lee I have been on this site for idk 1, 2, maybe three years, and my first time seeing an article getting locked was on that one harvest moon article.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@Snatcher - Haha, I didn’t even know a HM article got locked, amazing! So, do you want the other side of that wager? You’re gonna have to do the research, but I trust you. Even though the odds are stacked against me by volume, I’ll still wager on -150 odds.
@bimmy-lee Nah man, you can go through all that, I'm good. But If I remember right there was also an article about this P*** game nintendo put out a lawsuit for, and the harvest moon article was locked bc Of gay Hater's. (If I remember right)

@BloodNinja Personally, it's a decent concept to do so. The trolls get annoyed that they can't post any then leave, thus re-opening the discussion for people who actually want to talk about the article, rather then those wanting to stir the pot.
Personally, as a mild-Bisexual, the problem with Pride Month is that it's only a month. You see all this support for LBGTQ+ folk for all of June, but once Midnight hits on July 1st, everything; including the people, are thrown back into the closet til next year. Hell, it's safe to say that Christmas decorations stay up for longer than with Pride Month.
@NatiaAdamo Nothing wrong in taking pride in yourself all year! I do see what you mean though! It’s somewhat “neat and tidy,” like ok we are done now, next thing. Weird culture we live in.
Also, you don’t have to go into detail or even answer, but I’m unfamiliar with the term mild-bisexual? Obviously if that’s over-stepping I’ll shut up, just curious!
@Snatcher - Yeah, it’s too much research. We’d need to export the entire site history into another file and then spend the next few weeks analyzing it. Probably not worth it. Sounds about right on Harvest Moon. It’s a game about many choices, so insecure folk will always be worried other people aren’t playing it right.
@NatiaAdamo IKR, Its kinda strange too, I mean there's no straight month, I don't think there's a trans month unless pride month is clumped with that, There is like no month for these two, And In my opinion, there really, kinda shouldn't be, I mean why can't we all just live among our self's? And people talking about "Its to normalize gay people" but your kinda doing the opposite, as people come, they eat, they leave, And its kinda messed up.

@bimmy-lee Weeks? how about months! Ya that article for me, is when NL started you know, Falling off the latter a little bit but we told them your falling so they adjusted there ladder, But that amiibo article man, That really did it in my opinion.

@BloodNinja Nah, you're cool. It's not a real term, it's more of a "I feel like I'm Bisexual, but I don't think I am fully ready to commit to it." Plus, I'm only really Bisexual for fictional characters, but I don't have enough data to see if that equates to real life people as well.
@Snatcher - If we could get it all into a notepad doc, then we can mess around with some command language to find instances of locked comment sections, but first we’d need to find some kind of regular trait every time a section was locked and build the right command to find it. Basically, we’d need to work on it simultaneously. You could just read and mark the entire document, and I could experiment with the commands, and we could get together at the end of the week and discuss what we’ve found. Most likely, we’ll then need that second week for you to read the doc several more times while I refine my command, and then, at the end of the second week; we could probably declare a winner.
@NatiaAdamo I understand that feeling very well! When I was in college I had a few experiences and learned I was straight. This stuff can be confusing at times!
@MarioLover92 Oh gosh, another game series I need to play: Portal. Though I'm somewhat familiar with how GLaDOS operates. Those E.M.M.I. robots remind me of a combination of her and the creatures from the Alien franchise. That'll get the blood moving a little lol. As for Luigi's Mansion 3, I really enjoyed the puzzles in the previous games. I think it'll be right up my alley!
Currently playing: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
So that was a nice evening of gaming I had. Played Ninjala for about an hour, and did some missions in Wing Commander Privateer.
@SM3DASislit Had to let you know, it's been awhile since I played Ninjala, once I got back into the swing of it, won a game tonight! Decided to use some of the free jala on the Ninjala Pass mini to motivate me to play more.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
