Slack seems cool to me and my friends, is it not cool to other people?

My group left about 5 years ago (give or take a couple) when there was a hostile takeover of freenode. I haven’t really looked into it at all since then, is freenode back or where did everyone move to?

just finished act 1 of Clair Obscure this morning. I’m still not sure how much i enjoy the gameplay but the story definitely has me confused and wanting to know more. The battle mechanics are cool but i feel like i’m too dumb to really be good at figuring out good synergies. so far i’m not a huge fan of the map exploration but it’s getting easier to find my way around now.

I need this one explained to me… Did something happen in March 2025? Why are there two different versions of the same joke? Or is it all one big joke? I know the second frame in the first joke is a guy from the fallout show but I don’t understand what it means in this context. What is the person in the second joke, just a generic trans person? I also don’t understand what that has to do with COVID. Maybe I’m just dense.
