I like games culture and anime culture. Have empathy.
Not game-specific but those types of games certainly were a big factor.
I used to love playing with my school friends. Yet slowly but surely they became very toxic to play with as they became bitter in adulthood. Now I only play single player and stick to text chats with them.
yup, this hits the nail on the head for me. I consider myself very tech literate; I am my family’s IT guy. I even have Mint installed in a separate drive but I seldom use it unless I have nothing else to do for an afternoon. And the reason is that the more I know about windows (be it editing the registry, troubleshooting services, learning diagnostics tools…) the less comparatively capable I feel in a linux environment. It’s like moving countries after I spent my whole life learning this city and I could’t even speak my native language anymore. Yeah I know it works out of the box and there’s wine and I can make my UX the same. But, going back to my metaphor, that feels like moving to a different country and just not leaving my house and only talking to the people I knew back home. Yeah it would be the same if I severely constrict my comfort zone. You just have to learn a bunch of new shit and leave all you know behind and that’s just one distro. Because YEAH linux isn’t an OS it’s a whole family of operating systems. The nerd yelling that it’s a kernel is right in the worst way possible. I can learn Mint but I can form an opinion on Linux because I still wouldn’t know shit about Arch or Fedora or Gentoo or what-have-you. It’s all very daunting and what I have is functional. No, not “functional enough”. This does literally everything I want in less than 4 clicks, everything is plug-and-play, everything works out of the box (and if it doesn’t you’re sure as shit it wouldn’t work out of the box on linux), my knowledge on windows is applicable on every machine I find, it’s the system everyone expects me to have (I’m fucking sure the software my uni made me install for online tests wouldn’t have a Linux installer). It’s not just that the path of least resistance points to mac/windows, Linux as a whole also has very potent repelling field. I still want to learn it but not because I see any practical value/utility in it.
my guess is that they were working on it in the background and when musk bought tw they started pouring way more resources into it and turned it into a standalone app
Yeah I never really got the notes system especially reblogs. It makes sense when a tumblr screenshot gets posted online, it just looks like a reply chain. But when I tried to use the site myself (it was 10 years ago tbf) I never got anywhere and I couldn’t find the funny.
For me it’s tricky. I don’t like watching single player LPs because they play the game wrong. I do like watching multiplayer games if the people are likeable (my friends suck for that specifically). I feel like multiplayer games add to the whole point of internet personalities.
Mastodon has a system that verifies an account’s possession of another webpage. So that could help with company accounts.
It’s not even about morality. It’s a dumb law that doesn’t protect users most at risk—even if enforced—while making it incredibly convoluted and awkward for everyone else.
On second thought, that second part was probably the point.
I really love project zomboid but I feel this a lot. There’s no reason to face danger once you get your safehouse set. I think an understated feature of the game is exploration—unless you memorized the whole map already—and you kinda stop getting that at the endgame. You might drive around a bit looking for a nice car but that’s it.
I wish there was a mod that tweaked the map a bit to add some more authored environmetal storytelling to key locations to incentivize more exploration. Right now you walk into buildings and everything is set very tidy like people still work or live there but there’s zombies just vibing inserted there. Sometimes you’re presented with random scenarios like a car with a flat tire and tools next to it, but I’m talking about something more deep. Like, imagine seeing a particular police station completely torn apart with a dead cop inside a closed cell with a few empty cans and bottles, a note, and an empty shotgun. Or going to the museum but someone put all the exhibitions in a locked room, and maybe the zombies broke down the door anyway. Maybe one of the houses already had its staircase broken and we could explore how those people lived there for a few weeks and tell a story about it. You could show how authorities might have tried setting barricades near public buildings that got ran over anyways. I think the research facility is a huge missed opportunity for this as well.
you’re blaming the medium
I don’t think that’s implied in the post. Also reddit inc is complicit in the bot farming since it boosts their engagement metrics.
A few points:
-I feel like even this short guide is overcomplicating it for 90% of potential users. Just add a tl;dr at the start about checking out the relevant settings (top bar, notifications), subscribing to magazines, and navigating to the “subscribed” feed. Like, if I want a hot shower I don’t need to know where the water comes from or how pressure is determined by the bermoulli formula, just say what do I press to get the water to come out hot.
-Explain that collapsible comments are coming and there’s a userscript for people who are into that.
-I don’t think that this separation of tiers is efficient for anyone. Like, if I want to know how to see the local feed is that lurker or addict.
-I think it’s overcomplicating threads and microblogs. Yeah, I didn’t know there was a difference between replies and comments but it’s never been relevant for me this past month. One is like reddit and is compatible with lemmy, the other is like twitter and lets you talk to mastodon users (and misskey, and calckey,…).
-On that note, some people get overly confused with the concept of federation (in part because people usually overcomplicate it when explaining), and this problem is compounded on a platform that also interacts with instances from other platforms. You can just keep it simple and say “you have an account on a website which has its own content. There are others that look exactly the same with different users and content, but you have access* to all of that too”.
*unless admins decide to defederate specifically from your website, like what beehaw did.
Ironic that I said to keep things short and then wrote a huge comment.
I used to use tusky when I made my account way back and I remember that being good. After returning this year I decided to buy fedilab and it’s very good.
Players with over 30 hours in the Necopara
What about the guy who has had them open since they came out, uninterrupted? (+10k hours, iirc)
Just reply to one and tag the rest at the end of your comment like a CC
It says it’s not so much a replacement, but rather you might want to use it if you want to follow a particular community irrespective of the platform/format. For example, right now there are several games whose communities are more active on discord servers than any of the other mentioned websites including reddit.
I say ‘spez’, as an adjective, should denote a level of degradation similar to that of a cum box with live fungi growing out of it.
I’m more of a mergers&acquisitions type of guy
I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.
What an odd way to initially phrase it. Saying “underage-looking nsfw” is such an underhanded wording that it makes me feel like they were trying to stir up a shitstorm against their own userbase. The followup is way better “we’re allowing weebs, no loli, some of you might still think it looks underage but we’re leaving it at the mods’ discretion”. But the damage is already done.
Going from playing space impact on my nokia to having my next phone reproduce a gif recieved by bluetooth.
Also Wi-Fi.
Gone Home is pretty neat. I usually need secondary gameplay loop to placate my short attention span but this one gripped me through presentation and atmosphere alone.
