That’s how I’ve been starting to see this all as well. The seperate, smaller instances remind me a lot of 00’s phpbb forum, but it’s with the UX of Reddit. Lastly the intercompatibility feels comparable to e-mail: It doesn’t matter that I use gmail and you use Outlook, we can still send eachother an e-mail and both servers will talk to eachother without any issue. It’s the some of the best of many worlds and I’m feeling Lemmy and Kbin are here to stay for me.

My last few adventures have been: J-RPG > Farm sim > City Builder.

It’s been really fun to explore genres and games that I had not really touched before, both new and old games. It made gaming a lot more fun again

Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more

What about games like Half Life or Metro? I don’t like most mutiplayer shooters either, but storydriven singleplayer games can be great imo

Complete dealbreaker for me. You’ll never actually own games with such models, as you are completely dependand on the publisher. Once they pull the plug, you can’t play the game you paid for. Server probleem? Sorry, you can’t play right now. Traveling? Sorry, can’t play.

It is also generally bad for modding and the overall user experience. These kind of games often have DRM that don’t allow for modding

• Star Ocean First Departure (PPSSPP)
• Star Ocean Second Evolution (PPSSPP, Maybe even Yuzu?)
• Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth
• Stardew Valley
• Wargroove
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Spiritfarer Farewell Edition

Good to hear! I actually still haven’t really played it, although I set it up on my system. I got the urge to play more platforms, including Jak, after I finally beat one of my favorite childhood games, Rayman 2 The Great Escape, a few months ago.

You might want to keep an eye on OpenGoal. It’s a decompilation of the original engine. This allows you to run Jak 1 natively, and they’re working on porting Jak 2 as well. This can also result in higher performance, better graphics and more :)

Thank you for sharing LibreTube! It’s exactly what I was looking for!

I was starting to like NewPipe more since Revanced borked on my phone. However, it doesn’t load child comments and the UI could use an update. LibreTube seems to improve on those exact issues!

Yes, please! This looks amazing!

Same for me and I have to say, I’m really liking it here so far! The community is of course smaller, but it’s still large enough to be engaging and the users are nice so far.
