It’s still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.

When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.

Previously, if you shared your library and someone else was playing any game, they would get ejected from said game and be unable to play any other game, as soon as you started to play any game whatsoever.

This made it more or less useless.

Now they changed it to where you can only play the same game as many times as your family collectively owns it. So, if your family member plays a game you only have a single copy of, they can keep doing so, until you start that exact game. You may still need to activate the client beta for this, but it’ll be active for everyone eventually. (Don’t know if it is yet, as I’m using the beta)

As someone also using Kagi:

  1. There’s a free tier, so you can try it out as much as you want (technically you only get 100 searches, but as with all free trials you can just make a new account)
  2. There’s a cheaper tier at $5 now, which gets you 300 searches per month. Depending on how much you use it, that might just be enough.

I know what you’re getting at, but generally homes are actually built that way.

Law enforcement can always go through any doors or windows if they have a warrant. You’d have to build a bunker to be save from them.

I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn’t really play anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I’ve never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading that it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two modded 3DS’ and send my data.

Even if there’s nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.

and then they break it and decide the cost of a repair isn’t worth it

Yep, that was me with my previous phone, which I did indeed have for over 5 years.

But there’s another major factor to it.

I use Android phones, which get official software updates for only a couple years (3 years for the most part). This includes security updates.

So when I got my current one it was one of only two I even considered, because only those two manufacturers promised 5 years of (security) updates at the time.

It has gotten better though, but except for Fairphone they’re still all very hard or impossible to repair.

My Nexus account has a simplelogin email adress. Granted, it’s one of the premium domains so the free ones may fail, but you could try that.

It’s at the very bottom of the settings page inside the app itself.

Mine vanished as well, but after I added it back it now works fine again.

Next time, try “what difference does it make?”

In case you and others want the answer to that: If it’s an allergy the restaurant will (or has to, depending on the jurisdiction) use separate pots, knives, pans, etc. for your meal to avoid cross contamination.

If it’s just a preference they don’t need to do that, because you won’t die if any small pieces of the things you don’t like end up in your food.

I wish I could experience a game with the ambience of the Submachine series for the first time again

I recently wrote about this series in another comment on here and I wanted to expand on it. For those who don’t know, Submachine is/was a series of 13-or-so flash point and click adventure games. Each game was based on “screens,” and you clicked the edges of each screen to move around the game world. You could collect...

I remember trying to play those (and failing miserably because I of how young I was). Maybe I should give them another go.

You might want to give the “The Room” series a shot. It starts out as just a digital puzzle box, but gets more involved as the series goes on and explores lovecraftian themes. There are monsters, but they’re set pieces or serve to further the story and typically only show up for a couple seconds or so in cutscenes. I personally dislike horror games, mostly because of jumpscares, and I’m completely fine with these games.

There are versions for iOS, Android, Windows, Switch and even a VR one, that is really well made. I would personally recommend the Steam versions, because they are a lot more detailed.

For anyone who wants to avoid fandom: getindie.wiki

Redirects any fandom wiki to their Indie alternative which are in most cases the only ones actually being updated.

For every wiki where that isn’t possible because they only exist on fandom, it redirects them to alternative frontends, which remove all the fandom crap.

JackOverlord,
@JackOverlord@beehaw.org avatar

I have also used that in the past, but when I did it only redirected fandom to BreezeWiki and not the other independent wiki.

For example, Indie Wiki Buddy does this, while libredirect didn’t: oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com -> oldschool.runescape.wiki

And it still doesn’t say it does that. Am I wrong with that? Cause I’d definitely use libredirect if that was the case.

They have explicitly stated that bikes (and bike lanes) won't exist in the base game at release. It is a bit hidden, as they wrote that only on Twitter and in a comment under dev diary 1.

Bikes will almost certainly be a DLC again.

JackOverlord,
@JackOverlord@beehaw.org avatar

They said on Twitter and in the comments of the linked post, that there won't be any bikes at all at release.

They'll very likely be a DLC.

Communities: Basically impossible, unless Meta/Facebook has a public list somewhere.

Instances: That will be public, because they have to register the domain somewhere and I'll also assume that they will actually want people to know which ones are theirs, so their users join those.

Hey, another Joey user.

Nice.

Usually doesn't get mentioned when people talk about third party apps.
