I’ve got so much respect for people who fight the good fight and continue posting Pepe in 2024.

That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it’s not bad.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I don’t mind using it or hearing people use it at all, as long as it’s being used as a synonym for “dumb” and not being used to specifically disparage someone with a disability. Just like “idiot”, words evolve over time from being specific words to refer to disabilities to just general words for someone being a dumbass.

If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.

A shitpost is something low effort, that simply takes up space in the content feed without being engaging, entertaining, or interesting.

One of the primary forms of shitpost is a meme or joke that isn’t very funny, or has been reposted to death. So “shitposting” can refer to the act of spamming shitty meme posts.

I’m a bit sick of how there are only like 9 bios in all the dating apps. This one is number 6. No creativity, no information about yourself, just copy something funny you saw somewhere.

I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.

Patreon allowed you to limit how many creations you would pay for in a month

Moose do actually cow. They are incredibly scary and imposing.

It bothers me that the name of the park encourages you to pronounce either “Aqua” or “Quatar” incorrectly

Whenever people criticise Bethesda games for their engine, I pretty much assume right away they know nothing about game development. Bethesda’s engine is something they have a lot of control over and can constantly improve and iterate on. It’s not as though Starfield and Morrowind are running on the exact same codebase.

Starfield is bad because of bad game design, not bad game development. Skyrim was buggy on release as well, and yet people loved it because the design of the game was good enough that people were willing to forgive the programming flaws. People overvalue the engine in discussions about Bethesda games and it’s become this meme among people to seem like they sound like they know what they’re talking about, but ultimately the flaws in Bethesda games that determine their success has very little to do with what engine they use.

Also, the Skyblivion team is constantly releasing dev diaries showing the progress, and the mod is nearly finished. It looks very well done, and the whole thing is out in the open. There’s no reason to be cynical about whether it will ever release when you can literally go look at the progress with your own eyes.

For Oblivion, there is Skyblivion coming out next year.

Not sure what you hope would be added in a “remake” though. You’re asking for something which would inherently do very little and be exactly the sort of cash grab that we normally condemn. You want these games with better graphics or mechanics? Play with mods.

The Anno games are notoriously hard to run on Linux. Protip: always check Protondb for Linux compatibility.

Also, if you find yourself missing Anno on Linux, check out Tropico or any number of city builders by Hooded Horse. There are lots of great resource production chain city builders out there that don’t force you to use Uplay

“binary digits” is an oxymoron. “Digit” implies decimal counting.
