I end up there from Google a lot, mostly because the other search results are usually ads or clickbait. I haven’t posted or logged into my account since rif went down.
Often when I turn on my PS5 I think of the those endless summer days alternating between going outside in the sweltering heat and playing my PS1 in front of the air conditioner with my older brother. Those were the days!
Since some instances were compromised earlier I’ve been able to access the desktop and mobile sites (just had to log in again) but can’t get third party apps to work. Jerboa seems confused whether I’m logged in or not, some pages work and others give a ‘not logged in’ error - I don’t see any option to log out or...
I’ve seen a lot of positive praise and sentiment for XVI even from longtime fans and I find that worrying. I finished the game and thought it was a solid 5/10 at best and was happy for it to be over. The game felt closer to Genshin Impact than it did Final Fantasy....
I’m only part way through (a bit past bahamut) so I’m not fully qualified to comment on the game as a whole, and I’m avoiding reviews until I’m finished (also haven’t played 14 or 15). So far I’m really enjoying it because it just has that Final Fantasy charm that squeenix are so good at. I love the world, the story is good (if leaning a bit too heavily on game of thrones for my liking), and the characters are likeable enough. Combat got fun once it clicked. That said…
There are a LOT of really obvious things to criticize. Over tutorialized, incredibly boring fetch quests, and progression systems that are wierdly linear and restrictive. It’s frustrating because some small tweaks could make it so much better. Let me explore and discover quests for myself instead of witholding them until the game decides to make them available and then spamming me with notifications. Disable the on-screen quest markers or at least let me turn them off (the “animal instinct” feature is neat, don’t need more than that). Let me upgrade my weapons past +2 and specialise them with elemental synergies so there isn’t just one “correct” gear set to use at any given time. Give different merchants their own unique items to sell. Jill is an interesting character but is underused, that whole descent to the first crystal with Cid, and the cutscene that followed, she was barely given a single line. The titan fights are great ideas but not always fun to play, and too reliant on quicktime events which I thought we’d all agreed kinda sucked several years ago so idk why squeenix didn’t get the memo.
But anyway yeah it’s pretty and sometimes fun and I can pet the dog so it still gets a thumbs up from me I guess 乁( •_• )ㄏ
Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I’m a bit confused what the problem would be. When Meta does its usual corporate bullshit over at Threads, how would that hurt a user or community based on Lemmy.world? If anything, wouldn’t it...
I think it might be okay in the early stages of a community when they're trying to grow a user base, "build it and they will come" sort of thing. But spamming more content than the community can keep up with is just annoying. I think they should be tweaked to only post a certain number of times per day so there's a chance to get some meaningful engagement on each thread.
Curious how everyone's experience has been playing FF 16 so far. I'm enjoying myself and having fun with the game, but I am having a really hard time understanding all these 9/10 review scores. When the game is firing on all cylinders it’s a total banger, but there are so many issues with this game....
I always love watching people discovering my favorite games for the first time. My favorite blind playthrough is probably Dan Floyd's "bug knight" series on Playframe, and more recently I've enjoyed watching Adamanth and lil Indigestion. Who do you like watching?
Sorry for the potato quality, I think this was taken about 15 years ago. Since greyhounds can't sit comfortably we had to have dog beds and blankets in every room so he always had a cosy spot to lay in.
First time posting to Lemmy, not sure if I'm doing it right so we'll see if this works?! Photo is a few years old, my old rattie girls Indi(go) and Violet ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ

Why does Playstation hold a special place in your heart?

Did anyone dislike Final Fantasy XVI?

Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"?
Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
What would be the problem if Threads federated with Lemmy&co in the future?
I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I’m a bit confused what the problem would be.

What are your thoughts on bots reposting links to Reddit posts?
It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.
same, bro (lemmy.world)
We've had one, yes. But what about second breakfast? (i.imgur.com)
