CeruleanRuin, in I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one avatar

I feel like if you’re subbed to a meme community you ought to know what you’re in for. Memes are typically low effort both to make and to consume, which means there will be more of them created and upvoted in the same period of time as other posts. They will ALWAYS overwhelm other content. This is why many sufficiently large communities either split and create meme-only spaces contain them or limit them to specific days of the week.

On reddit I had a separate account for meme subs, because otherwise it was all I saw in my feed.

Imbroglio (apps.apple.com/us/app/imbroglio/id969264934) is one of my favorite minimal purchase iOS games. I haven’t played it in awhile, but it’s a unique dungeon puzzle game where you place attacks as floor tiles on the board ahead of playing. There’s some consistent rules with ramping challenge, which made it super replayable for me. I loved trying different floor designs, finding strategies, and there’s a small progression system that’s fun. Hasn’t been updated in a few years, but it was a great design despite the rough appearance.

I'm using brave search, and am very satisfied with it overall.

pootedesu, in What movie did you rewatch most often?
@pootedesu@latte.isnot.coffee avatar

Hackers and Grosse Pointe Blank. Watched it almost every night to go to bed for years on VHS.

Grosse Point Blank is not my favourite film of all time. But it’s the only one I’ve ever been able to honestly give a perfect 10/10 score.

The story, the cast, the script, the pacing, obviously the soundtrack, there is just not a single flaw I can find.

Isn't Grosse Pointe Blank from around '98 or '99?
That's when VHS was on its' very last legs. I think my first DVD player was from around 2001, by that time the graph line of DVD rising and VHS falling had already intersected, and this was in Mexico, I'm not sure when other parts of the world made the transition, say in the US, Europe or Japan it happened earlier.

dubble_deee,

Hackers is a great choice, it’s so cheesy but it just draws you in and completely suspends your beliefs. Every character is likeable and the lines are so well delivered, man now I got to rewatch it. Terminator 2, hackers, and Pokemon 1st gen probably made more SDEs than any stem outreach program.

neko, in Do you think Federated networks are the future or do you think Peer to Peer networks are the future? Which do you think is better?

Federation for big communities, p2p for friend and misc local affinity groups.

I just wish more people knew about Manyverse, especially activist circles

julianwgs, in Do you think Federated networks are the future or do you think Peer to Peer networks are the future? Which do you think is better?

In my opinion federation is the better peer to peer / decentralized service. Power is not centralized, but everything can be run as efficiently as a centralized service.

cumberboi, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

totally accurate battle simulator, i have a really strong morbid fascination ngl

LANCESTAAAA, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Haven’t checked in a while but I think my personal record is 1400+ hrs in Europa Universalis IV.

teolan, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?
@teolan@lemmy.world avatar

Mindustry. It’s a mix between an RTS and Factorio. It’s pretty nice and Open Source

Link69,
@Link69@lemmy.world avatar

Open Source

You said it all

14four,

Mindustry has wonderful graphics!? Nice vector objects that scale smoothly. What’s the ugly part??

Jarmer,
@Jarmer@kbin.social avatar

I loved this at first but then the complexity of the various mechanics seemed to take a sharp rocket ship upwards through the roof. I got kind of lost and then tried to read the wiki guide and it was like a book, so that was that. I really wanted to like it though! Maybe I should give it another go.

starman,
@starman@programming.dev avatar

I wouldn’t call it ugly

teolan,
@teolan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not ugly but I find it pretty hard to figure out what’s happening at a glance because it’s really abstract

Lolors17, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Interstellar

androidul, (edited ) in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

what is this “reddit” thou speak of?

Oh it’s just some old myth people have been spreading. Probably doesn’t exist.

naneek, in Do you think Federated networks are the future or do you think Peer to Peer networks are the future? Which do you think is better?

I don’t understand the concept of peer to peer in this scenario. Isn’t lemmy essentially peer to peer?

sarahcanary,

Bit torrenting is an example of peer to peer. Blockchain theoretically works this way too.

@nan@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

No, each user is a “peer”, in Lemmy they access content through the instances.

They are talking something more like IPFS.

I don’t really know much about IPFS, but I think a downside to peer to peer is the potential for content to disappear because someone turns off their computer or quits whatever application. I can’t be the only person to have a torrent stall at 80% because the rest isn’t available in the network.

lwuy9v5, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?

Dwarf fortress and RimWorld are both… Pretty ugly

imaqtpie,
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah especially Dwarf Fortress. The gameplay:graphics ratio is over 9000

nailbar,

That’s improved now, though, with the steam release. Before the Steam release I exclusively played DF with Ascii graphics. Honestly, I thought it was pretty.

sLLiK,

I LIKE ASCII graphics done well. It tried playing the version of Stone Soup that uses tiles and couldn’t do it.

imaqtpie,
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works avatar

It does have a certain charm. I never really played that much tbh, my favorite part was reading the sagas of fortresses on the forums. Those were always so unpredictable and hilarious.

MagnusRobotFighter, in What's the worst thing you've ever smelled?

Paper mills like in Ticonderoga, NY or Rumford, ME.

AcornCarnage,

Unexpected Rumford.
