You live long enough and you start to see the elements of a new game’s DNA. Most games build on another that came before it. For example, Undertale takes a lot of inspiration from EarthBound.

What this has meant for me is that new games have a harder time really gripping my attention because I often think “well, that part was fun, but this other mechanic was much better implemented in this other game.”

I don’t have the patience anymore - nor the free time - to stick with any game that doesn’t do something special. And for me, gameplay is more important than anything else. Great visuals don’t make up for unfun game mechanics.

To each their own, of course.

Sorry, boss, but this girl-on-girl playlist is to protect our sensitive data from Microsoft

WhatsApp is owned by Meta, and even other billionaires don’t like Zuckerberg

I would say try out Junk Store for the alternative game stores so long as you’re using Decky Loader. I greatly prefer it over Heroic

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know too well how it feels to miss your animal.

This was Barley. I lost her to cancer on New Years. We didn’t even know she had a tumor despite multiple recent vet visits and blood work. She was a rescue, and we had just barely passed 11 years together when she died.

There is still a hole in my heart shaped like her big, fuzzy butt. This dog saved my life, and I will forever feel like I was so blessed to have had her. Literally every person who met her remarked at what a good dog she was.

No, you’re just unable to follow context.

No, it’s not. The discussion is what is the motivation for the move, not that it’s technically possible to move.

That’s not the discussion we’re having…

I’m not intentionally trying to argue just to argue, but what instance isn’t going to have moderation issues? I haven’t seen enough performance issues here to have noticed any trends. Mods themselves are very frequently asshats anywhere you go. It’s the nature of a job that offers power but no other compensation.

Is there something specific that has prompted this move? Some event I missed?

I like the clear Terms of Service here and the accessible admin team. I’ve been part of other servers that were clearly taking a much less professional approach.

My only mark against LW is that they didn’t want to block corporate instances, not that those have been a problem at all.

Maybe? What is the motivation to move?

When did Dildopolis open a second location!?

Did the seller promise discreet packaging or discrete packaging?

They will know our peaceful ways, by force if necessary

I’m sorry, but it’s for the greater good. Our people will never forget your sacrifice.

Welp, in ya go!

Dead processes make no log entries

They never taste right with synthehol

As a strong introvert, I didn’t hate it. I can understand a lot of extroverts losing their minds though.

What do you mean were coming for us?

I hear you. I don’t know about the rest of the apps, but Voyager has a fairly robust set of filter options. I regularly block things for non-dramatic reasons (like I just have zero interest in a specific subject that gets a lot of posts).

I’m not sure about using Lemmy through a web browser and what options that affords.
