I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.
I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!
Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!
I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you’d think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.
It just didn’t really explain what I needed to do. I don’t need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and ‘menial tasks’ to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn’t pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.
Abzu though, that was amazing!
I’ve got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I’ll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I’ll like this!
(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that’s why I haven’t jumped to it yet!)
I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.
The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I’ll check them all out!
Newpipe is the way to go!
Download videos, download audio, have no ads, listen to audio with the screen locked.
I love Newpipe!
You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!
After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data
What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.
What a sad day to lose someone like that.
I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.
If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.
As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!
Agreed with this.
A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.
Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.
I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.
I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.
Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?
Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me
Why am I not surprised?
What annoys me the most is the stance he keeps trying to project that reddit is just a a ‘poor lil company, never any profit, just a little fish’.
Hearing that he wants to bring in the ability to oust established moderators by votes?
Good luck, who wants to literally give their time and energy to this company now for free? Not me anymore.
What a sad, sad interview.
Me too, going to look into this one!
It is the techical help that hurts the most. Raspberry Pi, Linx and Steam Deck are the big ones I find help for on Reddit.
But to be fair it just encourages me to search harder elsewhere, or better yet forces me to tinker more myself to find the solutions.
Regardless, it is a wealth of users that the users have given for free for so long.
SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone make me realise when I watch something on my Xbox just how bad regular viewing can be
Agree with this wholeheartedly.
We shouldn’t use that word or the meaning behind it as a slur for anything.
You can be better than that.
We’re good teams, but I really hope not. A couple apathetic mods in each, but they seem content to follow the masses.
Its a game of trying to not log in to reddit (because every click they don’t get is a win for us), and needing to in order to discuss all this nonsense.
I just hope enough subs stay dark and get on board with the choice to go indefinitely.
Chatted with the moderator teams for the subs I am a part of. Two of them agreed we’ll go dark indefinitely, and we have joined in on that via ModCoord’s post.
The largest with just under 1m users is still thinking about it, but I’m fighting for it.
We need to push them where it hurts: active users for their ads to be used on.
On two we presented the options abailable (Lemmy, Mastodon, Usnet and so on), on the biggest we didn’t do that. It was a last-minute announcement, so didn’t really have the time (also too many cooks with different recipes, so to speak).
I’m sure it won’t matter in the long run, but should we not try? A giant company runs on advertising. And the time we stop users interacting and engaging with these ads can only be a good thing.
As I’m writing this, 4,669 of 6,934 subs have gone dark.
Its beautiful to see.
Really glad you both suggested this game!
Am having an absolute blast playing!!!
