  • You need to make a bulleted list because your lists came out as jumbled paragraphs. At a minimum you need to put two spaces at the end of each line to preserve line breaks.

    I’ll fix it since you put in all the effort to write that up.


    One time purchase:

    • Peglin ✨
    • Luck be a landlord ✨
    • Forager
    • Dicey dungeons
    • Dead Cells (optional DLC)
    • Bloons Tower Defense 6 (out of the way IAP) ✨
    • Terraria
    • 20 minutes till dawn (has a non premium option with some micro transactions)

    Free:

    • Antimatter dimensions (long idle-ish game) ✨
    • Legends of Runeterra (just play the story modes) ✨
    • Team fight tactics (cosmetics only)
    • Plague inc (and probably rebel inc, but I haven’t played that yet) ✨
    • Super Auto Pets (cosmetics and extra optional sets) ✨

    Star on the ones I’d specifically recommend for casual play



  • Lawnchair is almost exactly like Pixel Launcher except you can do things like remove the search bar, change the icon counts, and stop the app tray search bar from searching the web (or switch it to another search provider).

    I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t be happier.

    Incidentally, it wasn’t until about 10 minutes ago that I realized “Lawnchair” is just “Launcher” if you pronounced it in a French accent.



  • If I read comments then tap the Android back button, the post looks read and it stays that way through refreshes, so I don’t seem to be affected. I’m on Lemmy.world, though.

    Sync is full of dumb bugs and the markdown uses reddit style for everything still. A fucking year later. I wish apps like Thunder would catch up in the quality-of-life features so I can abandon Sync entirely. It’s a cobbled together port of Sync for Reddit and was never given the focus it needs, especially for the price he asks for it.

    I’m on version 122 of Sync on Android.

    Where are you getting that number? If I press the bug icon when editing a comment, this is what I see. (Some stuff omitted)

    Device information

    Sync version: v24.03.26-14:56    
    Sync flavor: googlePlay    
    
    View type: Compact    
    Push enabled: false    
    
    Android: 14
    







  • It works now. It definitely didn’t before when using Sync for Lemmy. That kind of mistake wouldn’t have worked on the reddit website either. I had seen it a million times. Not sure if the Lemmy web site would handle it right.

    Both versions work on my end.

    I’m surprised to hear that.

    Markdown libraries normally see the closing parenthesis in the URL as the end of the link markdown syntax of [text](link). You had [text](link(stuff)) which is parsed as [text](link(stuff) A smarter markdown parser could handle it, so whatever app you were using might do that.







  • Here’s the article. Their cookie policy is shit, so fuck 'em.

    Hell, just go to the game’s page: https://www.woodus.com/den/resources/dq+nightfly.php

    Enix’s Dragon Quest is one of the most important JRPGs ever made and can be credited (alongside Final Fantasy) with turning the genre into the huge commercial proposition it is in Japan today.

    However, given that the game’s Western release – under the title Dragon Warrior – wasn’t quite as acclaimed in the US, there’s a good chance that some of you reading this haven’t actually experienced the first game in the franchise.

    Before running to Square Enix’s official ‘remaster’ of the game on your Switch, you might want to check out Dragon Quest +, a fan-made remake from NightFly Studio. Described as a “full remake” for PC containing around six to eight hours of additional content, it has been in development for over a decade and finally got a full release late last year.

    Dragon Quest + features remixed monsters, new weapons and armour, an orchestrated soundtrack, new locations inspired by Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, new mini-dungeons in Alefgard and three fresh minigames.

    It’s free to download but is only compatible with Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 10 and Windows 11. It’s also playable on Steam Deck, although there appear to be some issues which are still being ironed out.


    • (W)INE (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator. It’s not a virtual environment either. It’s just a compatibility layer that wires up calls to Windows libraries to their Linux counterparts. Proton is an enhanced fork of WINE.
    • Sleep mode is just… sleep mode, and consumes 10% of your battery per day.
    • DosBox runs on Windows, too.
    • The Steam Deck is a weak ass PC. I love mine, but it does not compare to a modest gaming PC.

    I haven’t gamed on Windows since buying my Deck, but you’re testimonial here isn’t very convincing. It’s a portable gaming device that requires a dock (or hub) to even play on a monitor. It’s underpowered by design. Not even all top Steam games run on it.
