*This is a group game. Anyone can respond, but the first action number replied will be used.

Round 2:

You quickly take cover behind a fellow soldier, using him as a shield against the incoming bullets. The boat continues to rock violently, making it difficult to maintain your balance. The soldier you're hiding behind shouts, "Stay low and keep moving!"

What do you do?

1. Stay behind the soldier and continue to use him as cover.

2. Break away from the soldier and make a run for it.

3. Return fire at the German soldiers.

Choose your next move carefully, soldier. The danger is escalating.

Welcome to a GROUP GAME of Choose Your Fate (beta) by #[0]. We have selected an action themed game for you today. Anyone can participate and affect the outcome but you MUST reply directly to each specific action message with only the action number itself. The first reply each round will decide what action is taken. A pool of 500 sats will be split among all that participate correctly if the game is won. Good luck! This game will time out in 6 minutes if no one responds. #games on #grownostr. Win sats #zapathon

Round 1:

You find yourself on a boat with other Allied soldiers, sailing towards the shores of Normandy. The sound of gunfire fills the air as German soldiers rain bullets down upon you. The boat rocks violently, threatening to capsize at any moment. You must act quickly to survive.

What do you do?

1. Take cover behind a fellow soldier.

2. Dive into the water and swim towards the shore.

3. Return fire at the German soldiers.

Choose wisely, soldier. Your life depends on it.

on #nostr saying “gn” means you’ll be online for at least 2 more hours

Does this happen for anyone else’s links within notes?

I was able to see this image earlier, it rendered just fine and I had reposted, but now it has all of these extra reverse slashes and image is not showing.

I have been seeing these links with extra slashes for awhile, but this is the first time it happened on an image I had previously been able to see.

Anyone else out there seeing this happen?

Running Damus for reference.

Heavy note that I felt compelled to share.

Trigger warning: Suicide

I’ve been kicking ass and taking names for 25 years, in less than a month it’ll be 26. To some that’s normal. To me that’s phenomenal. Because by the time I turned 18, a mere teen transitioning into his real life, I attempted to take my own twice and failed.

It was mostly to do with how my brain operated. It wasn’t doing what it was supposed to. It was telling me that everything was bad. And that there’s an easier way out. I had a really good upbringing. I had plenty of friends. I was the student body president. I was the class clown. But my brain was telling me “all this is worthless and stupid and you can’t keep this up much longer.”

I’ve never been more happy to have failed what would have been the biggest choice of my life. Twice.

Since then I’ve seen psychologists, medical doctors, pastors, and I’ve since become more comfortable and open about talking about my survival story. Because it needs to be talked about because I’ve since seen one of my best friends and my younger sister’s best friend unfortunately succeed in taking their own lives. And I’ve seen what happens to families, friends, and communities. No one should go through that. I wish no one ever had to ever again.

I wrote this because you need to hear one of two things:

1) You are loved so damn hard by so many people even when your brain is telling you that’s not the case. I promise. Even further, you are loved by a Creator who sacrificed everything for your sake. And if that still doesn’t help, hit me up. I’m happy to talk to you. Not to try and convince you that what I’m saying is true. I just want to hear your story. I want to be your friend. I’ll listen. That was all I really needed all along.

If that didn’t apply to you, here’s your message:

2) Think about every interaction you have with every single person from here on out. Be extremely intentional and think very carefully on what you say. Because you don’t know what they’re going through, and you could literally be the reason their loved ones see them again. And you might not even know it.

Happy to be here. Thank you for loving me. Now go love everyone else.

Good news with BTC price dropping I"ll be raising my default zap level. More sats for you. Same $ amount.

The goal should always be more sats because in the future its going to out perform fiat......

So price down = a blessing for stackers!

I know about multiple people that have tried Nostr and gave up because they only saw Bs and Zs. It's weird because we don't have only that type of content in Nostr, but that's what everybody sees all the time.

But seriously, instead of follower counts an engagement metric calculated from the amount of replies and whatnot that your posts receive would probably be easier to do in Nostr and more valuable for end users.
