That’s about how well it fits in. You produce and find guns and can equip yourself and the pals with certain weapons. Modern firearms in a generic fantasy setting. It’s like a meme game that has too much production budget.

Your phone does the same thing just without communicating it. Samsung phones let you change the percentage of the battery is “100%” charged.

When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.

Any RPG with dialogue and choices. Bonus points for custom characters or male/female options.

Before my girlfriend got into games, I would often play a new game with her and ask her to design the create-a-character and ask for her input on dialogue choices. Sometimes we would take turns reading aloud in game text and documents. It got her invested without the stress of having to handle the game.

She eventually bought herself a switch and blasted out 500 hours of animal crossing during the pandemic lockdown and now she is all in on games.

Extra Punctuation was the slower, slightly longer format videos that were more musing about broad industry trends and gaming history. It was great.

I am working on my bachelor’s degree in computer networking and I still find Lemmy a pain in the ass to search sometimes.

Communities are too small, fractured and not enough people post. 1% rule and all that

I’m probably wrong but I think because it takes a lot more user effort to navigate Lemmy and find your communities, and those communities can be spread across many instances.

It’s just easier for those that are interested in the community around those interests to use something like reddit or a specific forum site.

Lemmy is mostly tech dorks, which isn’t a bad thing but that leads to the tech and programming communities dominating the feeds. Also I think people who have been using Lemmy for a while vastly overestimate the appeal of the platform and also tech literacy of the general population. It can feel intimidating and uninviting.

They are mission based and very fast paced. AC games are generally pretty challenging and designed to be replayed a lot for mastery and for trying out different mech loadouts as you unlock parts and weapons over time.

They are Balinese cats. Long haired cousin to the Siamese and they are hypoallergenic.

It took me a while but now that their face patterns have developed I can tell them apart when they look at me.

Ghost (close) and Griffin (far)

I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.

This is really fascinating to me. It would be interesting to see each country set up their own Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/other federated systems and have those instances constantly talk to each other. Like others have commented, It seems like a great way to keep the communication style and interaction of twitter/facebook, while also protecting the validity of the information through private instances. Really smart decision.
