A small multiplayer game called “Red Crucible 2” (browser based FPS game that runs in Unity Plugin, game’s now dead)
GTA V
GTA IV
Note: I don’t have the times on these games because I might or might not have “downloaded” some of them outside of official stores… so its just based on how vividly I remember them.
I used to love PS2. Fallen away over the years, but I have fond memories of being in 4 different team speaks at any given time relating messages. It was always a great time.
I’ve noticed a bunch of dev work has been done recently. Is it worth getting back into?
Tabletop Simulator. In 2020 my weekly gaming group couldn’t meet anymore, until we discovered that solution. We still meet in person occasionally but we have been playing every week online. I’m genuinely not sure how I would have gotten through the lockdowns without it.
This is a bit confusing. I’m not sure if the shadow you mean is a dark side of our own personalities or if you mean something like an apparition or hallucination. As for the second type, I didn’t know people could actually establish a “relationship” with these, all stories I heard (and experienced) are about a shadow figure that appears and then it’s gone. I’ve never met someone referring to one of these as a normally reoccurring thing. I’ve seen shadow imps when sleep deprived if that counts?
There was a point (only a few days ago really) when browsing All was a way of discovering new communities, but now, if it’s not memes it’s auto-generated bot content harvesting link from HN or wherever.
American cheese is great when you want a cheese that melts, but doesn’t become liquid. It’s great for burgers, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, and dips.
Nope! While lemmy is still missing a lot of things, such as large amounts of text posts and comments, and smaller communities, I’ve found other ways to fill the gaps. I browsed nosleep a lot and have found some nice series’, but that won’t make me go back. Also Tumblr exists to fill the smaller community gaps
The Lemmy apps are fine, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It’s too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It’s unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.
Block the communities you don’t want to see in your profile settings. That way, you’ll see more meaningful posts. That’s what I did, I blocked all memes communities.
I don’t care so much about the memes, but the moderation on the meme subs is severely lacking. I’ve seen enough shit and dicks in the last 3 days I just temporarily blocked the instance the accounts were coming from until they figure out their shit.
I totally agree, it is getting better though. I’m trying to keep in mind that it’s only been a couple weeks. new communities take time to grow. i think a big issue with lemmy is there’s so many options so there’s competition between communities for content but there just aren’t enough users to go around. it’ll get there though. one thing i do like though is that i’ve been getting more quality engagement on posts and comments i make. i’m not feeling attacked by replies or seeing pointless comments like “this!”, ya know?
What I did was unsubscribe from the meme communities. When I want a laugh I’ll go on “Global” and see them. Switch to subscribed to see better discussion.
Just block the meme communities and it makes this place a much more engaging site. There’s obviously not the same level as reddit yet, but with time it will get there.
That’s what I do, but they were mentioning that they wanted to browse all, but the memes were ruining it for them. I’m usually on all so I can keep an eye out for new communities to join
The problem is I like memes…I just don’t want to ONLY see memes. It’s just that Lemmy’s sorting algorithm is not as robust as Reddit. With Reddit my subscription feed would show me all of my communities, even if there was a large difference in size of them. My small communities still showed up in my subscriptions feed because Reddit had a more balanced algorithm. With Lemmy, the most popular communities flood out all the others. If the devs made the sorting work better we could have a more balanced experience.
I’ve found that the trick is not to actually sub to meme communities, even if you want to see them. That way you can browse your subscribed feed for all the discussion on the topics you want, but then you can switch over to All > Top Day or whatever and still end up seeing most of the memes in there because they’re so popular.
Yeah this is what I do. My subscribed feed is all news and discussion (and good discussion at that!), and then I go to All to see the memes. I first I subscribed to a meme community or two and it dominated my feed.
I figured that out too, I usually start off with my subscribed feed for interesting discussion and news articles (but you have to sub to the right sublems), then I might hop over to the all feed for memes and random pr0n and anything that maybe I missed or new popular communities. Then I jump over to another account on a smaller regional instance and hit the local feed there. I get plenty of interesting discussion and articles… and I think it is way better than reddit has been in the last 10 years. It reminds me of reddit when I joined 15+ years ago. So I’ve had the direct opposite experience as @Pmmeyourtoaster , the discussions here have been exponentially better than reddit has been for a long, long time now.
I will say that for like the first day or two I spent a good amount of time searching out and subbing to different sublems. I also used multiple different tools to find them. Two of the main ones being the built in Reddit Migration tool in Voyager, another being sub.rehab
I still do, but only read a few nosleep stories on my mobile browser before bed. If I had another option for spooky stories from indie authors I would quit completely.
As weird as this sounds my brother and I eat a slice of American cheese with a banana and it tastes surprisingly good. Just a banana with cheese wrapped around it nothing else. Might be the most out there but I still enjoy it from time to time.
some guy posted a question about how he can survive without shitting for 3 days straight. Ge didn’t want to say why he wanted to do it and never gave an update. The post has become a meme
That’s interesting! I’d hate if the unusual word came up randomly in an everyday situation. “Not like this!” as you fight your bladder from releasing a deluge while you’re on a commute on a bus…
I don’t know which was first, but around 4 or 5 years old I had a bunch of dreams that I confused with reality. They were so vivid, even now when I’m back in that town I half expect to see these impossible things.
A towering rock garden in the park, a hair comb shaped like an ice block, a man in a beefeater costume who gave rides in his horse drawn cart, a singing black cat on the fence of that house on the corner,…
I’m using Voyager and there’s a Home feed that shows only posts from my subscribed communities. It’s not as good as multi-reddits, but it’s better than checking each community individually for new posts.
The web pages for Lemmy and kbin have the ability to filter by subscribed communities, as well. I think what most of us are thinking of is a way to view the “All” feed that gives more weight to the smaller communities, which would help us discover new communities to subscribe to.
I was following it for the drama involving the blackouts. I logged in today and started browsing around, and can’t help but wonder if it’s recently become even more polarized and radicalized with regards to absurd, hateful opinions, or if my bias’ against it are making it look that way.
Either way, the experience made me feel gross, and it occurred to me that I just don’t want to be there anymore.
Honestly, same. I didn’t fully comprehend exactly how bad it had gotten since it was kind of the boiling frog scenario. When you’ve been on Reddit over a decade you know the userbase is considerably worse than it used to be, way more polarized, and unfortunately way more representative of the general population.
Getting to Lemmy immediately reminded me of how the internet used to be to some degree, and when I read the engagement I don’t feel like I immediately need a shower or a lobotomy afterwards. Let’s hope it stays that way as long as possible.
