Reddit had ways to automatically catch people trying to manipulate votes though, at least the obvious ones. A friend of mine posted a reddit link for everyone to upvote on our group and got temporarily suspended for vote manipulation like an hour later. I don’t know if something like that can be implemented in the Fediverse but some people on github suggested a way for instances to share to other instances how trusted/distrusted a user or instance is.

I’m for blocking Threads. I’m not for blocking instances that support Threads. That’s ridiculous, you’d just split the community and make the Fediverse irrelevant.

Not quite. Blocked means you won’t see any of their posts, it’s something users can do.

Defederating is something instance admins can do. Defederating from an instance means everyone in your instance can’t see their posts, and they can’t see ours from here on out.

Here’s where people get confused: even after defederating, their communities and all of their older content still exists here. But, you can think of them as “dead” communities. Anything you post there won’t be federated, meaning only your instance will see what you post there. All other instances won’t see your post on a community you’ve defederated with, so it’s important to stop posting there and instead post on communities you’re federated with.

There is a tagged release and I assume an official release is soon to come

It has a lot of different mechanics. It’s more of a combination of minesweeper with nonograms (aka picross) where the idea is that there is that you can solve all puzzles without any guessing. Check out the Steam page

I would totally use and recommend kbin to everyone but only after a few days. The server still crashes a lot. The dev is doing their best though and I can’t wait to go back when things settle down!

It’s pretty overwhelming at the start but I feel once you get past the starting area the game really clicked for me.

I see, I had no idea the old 2600 was called the VCS.

I guess that’s yet another example of how confusing modern Atari is

The demo is only a few days old and people instantly modding Bloodborne models into it is absolutely hilarious. People REALLY want Bloodborne on PC huh.

It was released 2 years ago! The fact that nobody’s ever heard of it is another testament to modern Atari :^)

Elden Ring is such an easy choice. Just a fantastic open world that encourages exploration and discovery. I think you should give it a second shot OP.

Anybody remember the Atari VCS? It was such a total disaster that the developer of the first exclusive game on it wasn’t notified that his game was going to be on the console.

Life by You looked pretty rough last time they showed it, I hope they’ve polished it up a lot since then.

Surely this year… Surely.

Dwarf Fortress?

Remember that you always have the option to buy used parts, usually they run perfectly fine. I’ve seen used 3060s go for pretty cheap.

They’re definitely ports for people who have never gotten a chance to play them more than they are remasters.

I’ve never played an Armored Core game but this looks really cool. I’m glad they’re strictly trying to make it not like Dark Souls.

It’s not at odds, it’s the way you engage with enemies. Starfield at its core is still an RPG, gunplay is just one facet to it. You can choose not to fight enemies and just explore, talk to NPCs, build bases… You could decide to play melee or do different builds like stealth instead of just blasting enemies. It’s a choice.

That’s like saying Skyrim is just a mindless game about whacking people with swords. Combat is a part of it, but the game isn’t about combat, and they’ve never advertised it as such.

The wingsuit in Just Cause 3 might be the most fun traversal I’ve seen in any game, it’s just a shame there’s nothing much to explore and the world is pretty boring. I’ve always enjoyed playing it for a little bit but the game’s kinda shallow to warrant ever finishing it or actually taking quests seriously.
