source engine aesthetic was peak. i still love it, and nothing’s been able to replicate it. some games have tried, but the source feel is just unique.

i always love stacking books in barney’s interrogation room and trying to shove as many objects as i can in to kleiner’s mini teleporter.

i also remember having to wait for headcrabs to finish their death animation before i could move forward in hl1, so that’s fun :P

isn’t that what the upvote/downvote buttons are for? although to be fair, i’d much rather the people of lemmy decide which things are good and interesting than some “algorithm”

halfway_neko, 1 month ago

yeah. you’re right.

it’s not like i blindly trust the votes to tell me what’s right and wrong, but they still influence my thoughts. i could just sort by new, but i feel like that’s almost as easy to manipulate.

i guess it comes back to the topic of the post. where and how i get my information is always going to affect me.

i’m sure other platforms are no better than lemmy with manipulating content, but maybe for different reasons. i just have to choose the right places to spend my time.

i prefer my binaries to stay inside the computer. binary does not belong in brain >n<

i feel a little more comfortable commenting here.

being a smaller community, i feel like i’m actually contributing when i post something, instead of just adding to a sea of noise

it also helps that i’ve come up with this new “persona”. i’m able to be more of the real me than i can with my main account.

it’s like half way between anonimity and publicity. this account has very little connection to my meatspace existance, so i feel safe to say anything. but at the same time i’m not gonna act like some 4chan user. halfway_neko’s a good girl lol

ye. i’ve been using wayland since forever.

started on hyprland, and then moved to sway, but it’s been an almost perfect experience for me

sometimes i have to install a different version of a package or smth, but otherwise everything works fine.

halfway_neko, 1 month ago

they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.

on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.

it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.

there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.

hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.

always All. it’s how i find new communities. it would prob be good if i start subscribing to more of the communities that i like though.

atm i’m just relying on the collective views of the threadiverse to feed me content.

i think it’s really cool in theory, but only the anonymous ones. i don’t use crypto personally, but it’s important that something like it exists.

cryptobros and capitalism have ruined what little reputation the name had, and it’s obviously not going to replace “normal” money any time soon.

i feel like it’s kind of similar to the cashless systems that most banks use, but you’re trading lots of electricity for “not having the economy be owned by a couple of massive corporations”. obviously it has it’s flaws, but i see that as a worthwhile trade.

edit: oh yeah, i didn’t mention it, but this is another vote for monero (it’s private and it’s an esperanto word :P)

i couldn’t put celeste down the first time i played it.

very fun game :3

i also remember a game called webbed, where you were a spider and got to do actual web physics and swinging. That was pretty cool.

halfway_neko, 2 months ago

oooh, yes!! i forgot Inside. i loved that game.

juicy atmosphere and environmental storytelling, my favourite >:)

you guys are getting settings menus? i’ve been doing everything manually this whole time :(

i’ll have to figure out how to use this ui. i have a few “adjustments” i want to make :3

halfway_neko, 2 months ago

i cannot delve any deeper into customization, my phone wont let me :(

stupid thing pretends it can’t unlock it’s bootloader. >n<

i can at least use FLOSS apps for most things though.

halfway_neko, 2 months ago

btop because pretty colors :3

i still need to learn how to use top well though, just in case that’s the only option some day. if all else fails i just resort back to ps and (p)kill.
