AnonymousLlama, to asklemmy in What are your thoughts on bots and people posting only news articles on lemmy?

At the end of the day I'd argue that the majority of people want a "Reddit like" experience, with dozens or posts with heaps of engagement. I'm happy to have news / repost bots if the end result is a more engaging comment thread / discussion.

When looking at older Reddit posts, I never enjoyed the comments where the discussion was OP focused. I'm keen to have them phrase the original question / link and then step back and let the discussion naturally form

You can also look into kbin which supports both the regular article based content (like Reddit with subreddits) and posts (which are like tweets attached to a topic with tags).

Been finding some decent topics to follow recently

The reasoning is so clear and obvious that it doesn't require any sources apparently. Just go ask these people yourself who are doing this to find out why 🙄

It's mostly a multi-tweet long religious rant. The overall content itself isn't important, the main point being that they're not interested in any actual debate, they just want to dump their opinions out there and position it as fact.

Ah well, that's the nature of things are unfortunately. Go take your outrage to Twitter maybe

These types of tyraids are a pretty good example of what I mean

Either someones personal opinion, a hot take based on their own perspective or something similar. There's plenty of discourse that could happen here but these people just want their own echo chamber

AnonymousLlama, to games in Baldur's Gate 3 is defying game industry trend-chasers — and is being rewarded for doing so | Windows Central

It's one of the newest D&D like games out there, so UI wise it's probably one of the best to start on. But there are other similar games (e.g. Pathfinder Kingmaker / Pathfinder Wrath of the righteous) that I'd start on first.

Both of those last two we're a great overall introduction into what TRPGs can be like

Great to see baulders gate 3 doing well. A perfect storm of development conditions and we get rewarded at the end of it with a fantastic game. Hopefully heaps of extra extra content down the track to keep it going

The issue occurs when purported facts are just merely opinions or regurgitating talking points, you used to see it heaps on Twitter, someone alright posting their mini rant and sprinkling in "facts"

Used to see that mentality heaps on Twitter, that X isn't up for debate etc. People should really go back there if that's how they want to engage in their online discourse, the point of the fediverse isn't to be another echo chamber.

Though that's the reason you make heaps of alts, ensures that when you anger the next janny you don't lose access

AnonymousLlama, to piracy in Guess Empress was right this time.

So it creating an exe and hiding it from the task manager is fairly normal then? From the screenshots another bloke pasted on here, that looks pretty suspicious

Cheers for the screenshot mate.

Heaps of stuff that's positioned as the "alternative of X" feels like garbo. For example when I'm forced to use Pinta editor / GIMP over Photoshop when I'm using Linux. I get the expectation can't be to have feature parity but some of these alternatives feel really poor
