Chrono Trigger, of course. Some legendary tracks in there that transcend their limitations. The Deadbolt OST, Katana ZERO's OST. Nier Automata, Street Fighter V.
Oblivion and Skyrim as well. Really there are too many excellent game soundtracks to possibly list in a comment
It’s hard to pin an exact number, but throughout western Kansas’s ~400 mi slog to Colorado, I was forced to view semi trailers with trump’s visage printed on the side, hilariously corny White Jesus signs, and Anti-Abortion signs approximately every ten miles....
I completely know what you mean. In North Carolina there are a frightening amount of Confederate flags on things, Trump imagery, or even just hostile anti-Biden imagery. I don't exactly hate if people have a different opinion than me, but the way some of this stuff is displayed just shows how deeply rooted in emotion this conservative love is.
It's borderline disturbing, especially the confederate flags.
It's more of a "are good games with microtransactions good regardless of MTX or in spite of them?"
You can totally have a good game with MTX, but I think it always lowers the quality in some way, and they're only good in spite. I don't think OP is suggesting that no MTX guarantees a good game, but that a game should stand on its own merits and sell its whole experience instead of chopping itself up piecemeal
I don't think there are technically dupes. You could have multiple communities across different instances all called "gaming". But that wouldn't mean they all share the same rules and posting formats, etc.
They'd basically be like different subreddits. So you could potentially create a multireddit, but not truly merging "duplicate" communities.
Nothing about Lemmy would suggest people would like Epic anymore than any other place on the internet. Their exclusivity deals have the potential to upset anybody regardless of what website they post on, so while there's absolutely a degree of hivemind hatred, it's rooted in understandable reasons.
That being said, it's disingenuous of that person to imply that Epic never gives any good reasons to use the platform, the biggest being the waves of free games they put on "sale" from time to time, though you could go down another rabbit hole of whether thats really something that would make gamers want to use the platform, or if it's just a nice bonus people pop in to claim while still spending their money on Steam when it comes to actual purchases.
Complaining is pointless. Unless the mods make a new community about reddit discussion and a separate one for news, with both heavily moderated to focus the content, then you won't get only what you want to see.
Like everybody else said, it's a community about Reddit, not Reddit news, anything about Reddit goes, even if it's sentimental bitching
As a silver lining maybe it's best people don't associate him with what the site has become. He was a piece of its history, but he wasn't trying to found what Reddit has become
Without more context, it seems as if your actual management is decent and understanding. I'd try and have an earnest conversation with the one you trust the most, and speak frankly about appreciating her work ethic, but that she can come off controlling and too particular to enjoy working with.
At the end of the day, if she's the same rank as you her seniority does not magically make her a manager or make her advice solicited. It's not her job to set the standards of how anybody should do anything, so you are not obligated to obey or listen to her do it. As a manager I would agree with that justification and I'd try to get her to take it down a notch.
It could cause her to resent you, though, if you're the one she's chosen to let all that controlling energy out on, but it's just up to what you wanna do about it, in the end a pizza job is not an amazing, highly coveted and high paying position, if your management doesn't help you handle it, or if getting them involved makes her worse and they don't believe or help you, that's just a sign they're not that great themselves.
I’m trying to transition off of reddit completely and I dislike what they have done. But that being said, I thought it was quite honorable of them to not censor the ‘fuck spez’, be it comments throughout the site or on /r/Place. They even left the giant fuck spez ending in the official time lapse of /r/Place and the...
It's a little sad that it's become the catchphrase of this whole situation. Of course Reddit wants you to just hate that one guy, he's the fall guy. I would hope people don't expect the company to do any different without him, they've proven time and time again that they've got one direction to go in regardless of who's running it.
It's just impossible to get people to say "fuck reddit" en masse because of the separation between Reddit the website we all upkept and created the content of, and Reddit the company making all of these decisions
I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I...
It’s a pretty common thing on the internet to see somebody relating a story about someone acting in an inconsiderate way and the response is usually something like, “Well that person is a total piece of shit.”...
Knee jerk reactions are easy, all you need is emotion and a single impetus. Nuance is more complicated and can be difficult to fully express. Most people don't try to make things more complicated than they need to be and don't put thought into everything they say or post.
I quite value content from targetted instances, but most of the "general" instances seem to be memes, posts on boosting lemmy, memes, reddit, memes bot posts, memes, reddit, memes, discussion on lemmy mobile applications, memes reddit, memes, and people talking about how the lemmy changed their lives oh and memes....
They just have to rename/move the option to be more clear. For all visual issues Lemmy's UI has, at least their local only filter mode is pretty clear to see and understand. Kbin's "FEDERATION ON OR OFF" is so open to interpretation I thought for a while if it was a toggle so that things I posted only stayed local and didn't federate
You need to get the fuck out of there, there's more to life than being suffocated by your parents. Don't let them have the last laugh, the biggest fuck you you can give them is to escape their obvious need for control.
I can't pretend like that's easy or that I would know how, but you've got to explore everything you can possibly do to be removed from that situation. By your description it sounds like they're doing things that are likely legally abusive. If you can get out of there just imagine how much better your life can be out from under their thumb.
The epitome of what I’m trying to refer to is the Playdead games (Limbo and Inside). Dark Souls and BioShock both hit on this idea but not quite so directly. The game BADLAND is also a great example of this, too. The mobile game The Silent Age also did this exceptionally well. Never quite knowing what’s going on, and maybe...
I'd say Arkane's Prey hits that for me. The feeling of isolation, not only on the station, but by virtue of being in space, and the story itself. The mechanics of the mimic enemies can create emergent jump scares, but I'd definitely say it's not a horror game.
I'd also say Death Stranding, at times. While the human NPCs are very wholesome, the atmosphere and experience of delivering the packages out through the timefallen wasteland and that isolation lends itself well to introspection and the BTs are pretty creepy and axiety-inducing until you're used to them and can fight them.
Welp this is my first post and looks like my exit from Reddit post. The only app I used for Reddit has officially died. Time to go all in on Lemmy and hope that the developer makes JoeyForLemmy. I like Joey, it was great.
Here's that link to register for their next apps. not sure what they're planning, whether it's something for Lemmy/Kbin or something totally unrelated, but I loved the shit out of Joey and if they go on to make an app like that for the Fediverse I'm right behind them.
It's more the tone, it's respectable to say "it's a bit outdated, but I'm not quite done using this phone yet, so I'm trying to explore other options for YouTube without a full upgrade", a little less to say "... For a fuckin app bro, christ".
The other person did have a pretty flat tone that you could interpret as blunt and uncaring, so as the internet tone police, I say everybody is going to jail here!
Sometimes I’m at the doctor’s office, at the library, or even at the grocery store and see an unused power outlet. My phone is dying. I feel weird plugging in, but I feel even weirder asking for permission.
You could probably just skip the whole anxiety issue by buying a portable battery and using that whenever you're low. If your phone is fully charged at the start of the day and you burn through the whole battery and a mid range portable battery you're using your phone quite excessively and may need to figure something more reliable out.
I still think about this. It's so weird playing Jedi Survivor if you're paying attention at all to the saber. There was a Rancor fight, you slice that thing about a million times with a saber, then in the finisher animation you cut its leg off with one slice.
Used to be in Outcast/Academy that you could be standing still and still kill a dude if the saber was even contacting him idly.
I know it’s long, but this is a pretty well thought out critique of Tears of the Kingdom - giving a lot of thought into what the game got right, what it got wrong, how/why the wrong parts were wrong, as well as how they could have been better.
I think you press X to dash in the water because it's a single press repeated action instead of a held down continuous action, like sprinting. Just like if you crouch and press X you dash forward, pressing x while swimming dashes you forward once. It always made sense to me that way, but I'd imagine there are a few people who don't realize you can crouch dash.
There have been reports of YouTubers I watch getting sick after eating food in third world countries. However, these countries are also home to a large number of people who do not get sick from eating the same food. I think this suggests that the locals may have developed stronger immune systems. What do you think?
Same sort of idea if you went to a small culture in a third world country who isn't used to eating any fast food, and gave them McDonald's. They'd be diarrheaing all over the place because they're not used to it.
Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I’m struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post
I am hesitant to say that I have good news or that I have fixed anything... I honestly don't know if there is anyone left still using this site after all the problems we've had....
I'll keep an eye out and comment back if I notice anymore 500 errors. They were absolutely rampant over the last few days, but things seem all right currently.
It's funny you mention "if anyone is still using this server" because of the technical issues. I would hope anyone coming to Kbin in general has their anus prepared for technical issues given that it's an early in-development site, as you say.
This brings up a good point about the Fediverse, and how there'll be different perspectives on it. I'm sure some have jumped ship because other instances are operating more smoothly, but from all your hard work, correspondance, and word of mouth from other Fediverse users I feel like I can trust your integrity and willingness to get the instance to a good place.
I'm willing to wade through technical issues a good deal because I feel that unless you throw in the towel, you're gonna do what needs to be done, and that even if you did throw in the towel you'd keep us posted and that your reasons would be genuine. It's like the difference between working at a large, stable company with faceless, questionably motivated masters, and working at a small, independent company whose future is not guaranteed, but you can understand the scope of what's going on, and are able to openly communicate and understand your employers all the way up the chain.
I'm extrapolating all of this purely from not very much information, and I could be wrong, but my gut feeling says that I can trust your captaining of the ship, hopefully others feel the same.

Every game developer company should be like this (lemmy.world)
After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/
I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.
