This is really sad. I rarely posted on Reddit, and I mostly use it as an information source, but Apollo is how I mostly interacted with the platform, and when I did post, it was always through Apollo.
One silver lining is I found Beehaw as a result, and I like interacting and posting here, so I guess... thanks for being shit Reddit!
Snapped this on my way home from work the other day. The sun was hitting it just right, makes the brown bricks look like chrome. Trying to play with textures and repeats lately.
I have been trying to get access to my feed for most of the day, and I am just getting timed out messages and no feeds. Anyone else part of this instance? Can you confirm if it is alive....
Hmmmm. Now I am definitely starting to think it might be better to move back to standard Mastodon. A whole day gone with no ETA feels kinda bad. I know this kind of stuff can happen, but Calckey was already having some weird issues for me anyway, so I am a little scared away by it.
Yeah 100% no shade on what they are doing. I think it's great. But I do want to be able to access my accounts regularly without major problems. I'll stick it out a little longer, mainly because I already lost all my posts migrating from Masto, and I don't want to lose all my posts again migrating back haha.
As of last week I do, simply because SF6 has really captured my heart. The modern controls allow me to still pull off some cool moves, but give me a chance to focus on building fundamentals. I don't want to grind away in the lab mode for 1934589 hours. I want to learn by doing. I'll never be hyper competitive, but I have won a few matches online and now I have the bug.
I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so...
This was me with VALORANT last year. I run an indie-focused games publication, but I lost myself completely to VALORANT to the point that I wasn't playing anything else, and the site suffered as a result. I wasn't even really having much fun, and then I realized how much I was investing into a live service, and games I was genuinely interested to play, talk about, write about, were just passing me by.
So this year I decided to give up live service games for a year, and that has seriously allowed me to get back into my groove, and to play a lot of backlog games. Steam Deck has also helped quite a lot in that regard.
My friend and I play Destiny 2 but we do not do any of the seasonal content. We are still making our way slowly through The Witch Queen and that is quite enjoyable for me. I refuse to devote my free time entirely to one game again.
Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...
So far I am really enjoying it, mostly because whenever you post something you don't get 130493025084385 people telling you that your are a horrible person and completely wrong and offering you unsolicited advice and ignoring your question in the first place.
For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
I'd really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.
I finally got around to playing the XCOM reboot entirely on my Deck and it was a fantastic experience. Those missions are short enough that I could pick it up, play a mission, and then put it down and do something, and come back to it.
Yeah, they say it is unsupported but it is totally fine. I just used one of the community templates for the controls and it worked like a dream. Looking forward to playing the sequel later this year.
Not sure if I am allowed to share my own gaming criticism here (I don't post that often, so don't worry about spam), but I recently put together some thoughts about RE4 Remake and I think it turned out pretty okay!
Thanks! I will make sure that I don't just share only my stuff, but occasionally I would like to try and get some eyes on the things I am working on haha! Thanks for the comment.

Is PopOS the best for easy gaming?
Hey folks!...
This building feels so oppresive (beehaw.org)

Calckey.social down?
I have been trying to get access to my feed for most of the day, and I am just getting timed out messages and no feeds. Anyone else part of this instance? Can you confirm if it is alive....
does anybody around here play fighting games?
Hello lemmy gamers! Curious who's around here -- anybody play fighting games?...
How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?

How has ur lemmy experience been so far?

What are some communities that aren't here yet that you hope to see in the future?
For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
Suggestions for slightly older AAA games for Steam Deck?
Recently finished Bioshock, Spec-Ops: The Line and Nier Automata (not so old, but played really well)....
ELI5 How to link Pixelfed and Calckey
Hi there! I am pretty new to the Fediverse, spinning up an account on Mastodon in November of last year, moving to Calckey about 1.5 months ago....
Considering changing to PopOS as a content creator
Hi folks!...
I wrote a thing about Resident Evil 4 Remake, and why it proves that Capcom cares about legacy. (pixelsforbreakfast.net)
