OUTRAGEOUS

I've been making custom proxies for a while, and these are some of my favorites. Opponents' reactions are always either utterly confused or hilariously distracted.

For example, when I'm logged in, subscriber counts and user interaction counts appear far, far lower on different communities than they do when I'm logged out.

Look at these screenshots of the same community. This one is with me logged in:

And this one is with me logged out:

Why such a huge discrepancy?

Similarly to the post I made earlier on The Elder Scrolls, I may be missing a few communities that already exist due to lemm.ee being on a slightly behind server version - but on the chance that there isn't already a Fire Emblem community here, I decided to fix that.

In your opinion, which moment sticks out as the absolute lowest point of the series? The absolute nadir of quality? Be as specific as you like - can be a moment from a game, or a whole game in its entirety if you can't pick.

Also, what about the opposite - the highest point? A moment so good that you felt FE had reached a new peak of excellence?

For me, the lowest point has to be the dynamic between the Nohrian family in Conquest. The moment-to-moment writing is atrocious, but I doubt even John Updike could have saved the overall arc of the story itself, regardless of the specific lines of dialogue.

Another contender is the entirety of Fire Emblem Heroes. I can't even begin to describe how much that gacha dogshit bothers me, and the influence it has had on the direction of the series as a whole is extremely depressing.

The highest point for me (so far) is when Alm and Celica's routes merge in Valentia. I don't know what it is about that game, but it's far and away my favorite so far.

Lots of game-specific communities have been popping up lately; surprisingly, there isn't an active ES-specific one, so I fixed that.

Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don't know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They're attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I've caught plucking from the tree.

I guess I like plums? But there's around a week left until they all fall to the ground and become a horrifying slurry, and I'd rather avoid that.

Any suggestions?

TLDR: Have plum tree, it's bursting with plums, no idea what to do in order to avoid ant apocalypse

For example, it's a tiny bit of a pain to quickly and cleanly access subscribed communities. There's a "subscribed communities" box beneath the right-hand sidebar for the instance you're in, but it seems to me like it should be a stickied item on the left-hand side of the screen, like this:
