I mean yeah Twitch definitely needs competition. It’s just kinda sad when the compition is even shadier than twitch lmao

Turmoil:

It’s a 2d game where you drill for oil, then have some light logistics management to do to load it in to barrels on horse waggons and then sell it. It’s a lot of fun.

How would you even enforce that?

Of course every parent should have an idea of their kids are doing on the internet or at least educate their kids to such a degree that they don’t require supervision and can be trusted use the internet responsibly. But that is just common sense and should fall in to the general responsibilities of a parent.

I shouldn’t have to be a lucky mf that stumbles upon an article by coincidence that explains how to configure his web browser to not send pictures I look at across the atlantic ocean without my knowledge. WTF is going on.

Why preorder a product that has unlimeted supply?

Ion Fury:

It doesn‘t try to emmulate the look and feel of those build engine games like shadow warrior or duke nukem 3d… because it is one of them.

It is legitimately running on a modernized source port of the build engine. It has fantastic level design. It somehow feels modern and old at the same time. If you grew up playing games from that era this one is a must play imo

That sounds like the most stupid shit ever. I’m usually not the person that blocks a lot. I believe in 5 years of twitter i maybe blocked 3 accounts plus a couple of spam bots. But still…like…why would you think that this is a good idea?

Are you trolling?

I mean I guess Lemmy is deeply rooted in the open source community so I believe that people here tend to have more interest in the steam deck because it’s an open system running on linux so there is a huge overlap in the communities.

Also why do you believe that reddit is anti nintendo? The nintendo switch sub alone has almost 5 Millions subscribers and is in the top100 sub reddits.

I would try to find a solution for instance agostic links for posts or comments. afaik there is currently no way to do that.

It’s a microsoft product. So it’s definitely the worst kind of infection

playing Project Zomboid with a couple of friends :)

well…idk. I didn’t use slack in years but it’s not really a good point for discord.

It’s like advertising Chlamydia with the slogan "It’s not nearly as bad as Sysphilis! Give it a try!

My take on this:

If it didn’t support ActivityPub: Why would I? I could just use twitter. If it does support ActivityPub: Why wouldn’t I just use Mastodon that is ad free and doesn’t try to invade my privacy?

Discord:

They started the software as a light weight voip solution for gamers. And imo they kinda lost focus a long time ago. It is now a sluggish, bloated, messy piece of electron software that has privacy issues and runs very poorly. They keep adding new features that are all paywalled and the pricing is just unreasonable. I’m not against paying for a service at all especially if it is free of ads but i feel like 10$ a month is just way too much for a chat app.

If you really only want group calls for a handful of people I can only recommend Signal for that. Just create a group chat in there. You can start a call and select it to not ring on the other peoples end and then you can just hop in and out just like a discord vc. It has a desktop app for Mac/Linux/Windows too so you could use it while gaming too. The app is not pretty but it’s minimalistic and it works. Everything is end to end enrypted even the calls and video calls.

You could even screenshare with it but i never tested how well that works. It’s free and open source. It is not federated however. But still the most easy to use and best secure and private messenger out there.

I disagree. The upvote system is prone to creating echochambers. You post bad news and people will downvote it. You post something controversial. People will downvote it. I mean I don’t think it’s a bad system. I just believe that ranking content visibility based on it has some downsides.

Damn I really miss forums.

I had the greatest times in the internet 20 years ago in forums where you could be part of something that felt like a community built over years. Found some long lasting friendships on forums. Sadly then came myspace and facebook and caused every single forum I used to die.

Honestly the fediverse somewhat can replace that because the instances emulate that feeling of community a little bit.
