They’re already pushing for more and more current gen games to be released on the iPhone 15. It’s pretty much there.

Whats the one feature you like that windows 10 doesn’t have?

I tried to upload the gif of the outdoorsman smiling and nodding but it broke. Loved this reply lmao

He can’t respond because he’s too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets

I’ve made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I’d like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I’ve even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.

I’m willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren’t and that’s something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome

I’ve had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync’s filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as “Tankies”, “Anti-Tankies”, commies, fuckcar communities that aren’t even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.

Like, don’t get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I’ve definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn’t much here for me.

Dang it’s a good thing people don’t play games for fun otherwise you might actually have a point, doofus

Yeah I’m a programmer at a community college and this is like us. Although we don’t have any apps, we have different web apps that we use. My current job is trying to use the APIs for each of them to try and build cards in one central web app that bring in the functionality from the other web apps to minimize the amount of time you spend going from web app to web app

I’ve literally never met anybody that used Wordpad, whereas I know a lot of tech normies that’ll use MS Paint for quick memes and things

To clarify, I 100% think this bill is bad for adults, privacy, and the internet.

However…

“The end result of this law would likely be that a huge number of young people—particularly the most vulnerable—would lose access to social media platforms, which can play a critical role for young people in accessing resources and support in a wide variety of circumstances”

Social Media has a documented, well-studied, negative effect on young people’s mental health. We really could and should be doing more as a society to prevent young people from using it / pressuring social media platforms to fix the inherently negative issues with social media. This bill isn’t the answer, but acting like kids and teens should have free reign of web apps that are known to be bad for them isn’t the answer either.

How exactly does one build a “better one” that doesn’t automatically get included in the coverage of bills like this?

We have different reasons for getting the hell away from reddit. I came to lemmy because reddit killed sync. I paid like $3 for Sync in 2014 and used it every day until Reddit killed it without seeing a single ad. So, not only do I disagree with Sync for Lemmy missing the point of getting away with reddit, but I also disagree with the notion that sink for Lemmy is in any way bad for having an ad - supported tier when you can pay a negligible amount of money ( $20 in 2023 ) and never see an ad again for the entire lifetime of the app.

Legit. I paid $3 for Sync back in 2014 and used it daily for nine years.

I’ve been using Sync for Lemmy since it was first released and I still haven’t seen an ad. I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.

I like having both 2D and 3D Mario games. I kind of fell off the 2D games for a while because I wasn’t enjoying the New Super Mario Bros Series of games. I’m optimistic that this will be more enjoyable

That’s my thing. I enjoyed it for what it was, but I could not call it GOTY. The police were barely implemented, the best gear at any point did not have any kind of theme so you were punished if you tried to get outfits that matched, and the shallow cybernetic system alone made me put it down before I could finish it.

I went in cautiously hoping for a RPG and what I got felt more akin to a baseline action adventure title with some numbers added in so they could pretend it was an RPG.

It’s not the best, but you can group the other player characters with your character so they just follow you around the same way the origin characters do. You still lose the slot, but it’s otherwise the same as using an origin character.

My wife left early last night while we were playing and her character ended up coming in clutch in many combats. Figuring out I could get her to follow me was a game changer

It’s looking like I will only get to play around 3 hours a week with friends and I’m ready. Last night’s session was fantastic. It felt like meeting up once a week for a more simplified DnD session. We got through a fair chunk of content.

You may never be able to reach the end of the game, but I think if you enjoy the base gameplay then it’ll still be very worthwhile

I discovered speak with animals last night and my friends and I were having a riot hearing what the animals had to say. A cow talked shit at me, a rat led me to treasure. Fantastic
