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

I haven’t played it, but Cruelty Squad beats 95% of these in uglyness. Probably because they (hopefully) do it on purpose.

That game is beautifully ugly lol. I need to go back and beat all the secret worlds

I know that game, used to play it on BBS in the early 90’s.

PR_freak, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Fight club and shutter island

I probably saw them both around 15/20 times

redballooon,

Yea, fight club is big for me too. Don’t know shutter island, will check it out.

PR_freak,

You definitely should. Especially if you like the brainfuck genre

Also make sure you stay focused for the whole movie or you might lose some important details! Enjoy

I ever manually corrected and uploaded the subtitles (language and sync) of the .avi/DivX version of Fight Club. That’s like more than 20 years ago.

I have it in my iTunes Movies (or whatever it’s called) collection now, and watch it maybe once a year. The final song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it out in the wild.

That and Taxi Driver are my most watched movies. The Taxi Driver sounds and soundtrack are just so smoothing, I can comfortably sleep to it.

Bringing Out the Dead probably comes 3rd.

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.

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

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.

@ch1cken@kbin.social avatar

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

Cube6392, 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?
@Cube6392@beehaw.org avatar

P2P social networks have a moderation problem. Individual users are all their own moderators, which works like the “block” feature on Lemmy and KBin. However, this can get super exhausting so fast. There’s only so much fascist, homophobic, or transphobic bullshit a person can tolerate in an online interaction before they just give up and leave the network because it feels like there’s nothing worthwhile there.

There may be a solution to this problem someday, but for now, you have a choice for P2P networks. You can give up on user discovery entirely, as in Secure Scuttlebutt, where your network grows as you get invited to follow people or invite people to follow you. Alternatively, you can give up on moderation entirely, as with Nostr. I think either are fatally flawed presently, making federated services the best choice for having good control over your social networking experience without having to do every single part of it yourself.

TauZero,

this can get super exhausting so fast

I wish to see a P2P network with moderation “subscriptions”! So you can subscribe to the “anti-spam list” or “!asklemmy moderation list by @mekhos” or “anti-xenophobic list”. The integrity of each filter list is upheld by its reputation. If a spam list flags too many legitimate users, people have the choice to abandon it. If users of a community (which is just a hashtag) don’t like the direction the mods are steering it, they can resubscribe to a different set of mods.

@nix@merv.news avatar

Bluesky does this.

The atProtocol has some pretty cool things. I hope ActivityPub can adopt the ability for users to invite others so closed instances can have an invite system

Cube6392,
@Cube6392@beehaw.org avatar

I think ultimately something like that will be the solution. And maybe it will just be that you can subscribe to any other user’s block list, and perhaps they can in turn subscribe to yours, and basically within your peer 2 peer network the block list(s) are federated. You could potentially even have a block and whitelist where when someone you think shouldn’t get blocked gets blocked you personally white list them, and in the case of conflicting block and whitelists, a consensus based confidence list is created where some users just don’t show in your feed if enough percentage of your block list follows block them vs whitelist them, and users near 50% show in your feed in a collapsed “controversial” mode

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.

Emu, (edited ) in What movie did you rewatch most often?
@Emu@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t rewatch movies often, but in order of most rewatched: Gattaca, Sicario, Drive, Pulp fiction, Hamilton, Les Mis, China Town, 21/22 jump street, other guys, step brothers, the nice guy, the princess bride…

neamhsplach,

Drive!!! What a gorgeous film. I was about to comment that it’s my most rewatched too.

GreyEyedGhost,

Giving you that sweet upvote for mentioning Gattacca. I don’t usually rewatch movies, but I’ve seen that one 5 or 10 times. Second on my list is The Princess Bride, but even that is at most 5 times, mostly introducing it to my kids or friends.

Emu,
@Emu@lemmy.ml avatar

OMG I added princess bride, I’ve seen it at least 10+ times. I also added a bunch of comedies. It’s funny how many movies I’ve rewatched over and over but so many I have only seen once and will never rewatch.

paddytokey, (edited )

I give you an upvote just because you say you don’t rewatch movies often, but then proceed to list your top 12 movies ordered by most rewatched :D Brilliant!
