I keep seeing the posts about OW2 where everyone is acting like blizzard is getting destroyed by the poor reviews, but, like you said, they still already made bank on these games in spite of all the complaints that have existed since launch. Blizzard just out here like:
Completely agree. Remember when people lost their shit over horse armor in Oblivion? That would be seen as reasonable now. They just kept forcing these things until it was normalized, and now we’ve had an entire generation grow up with MTX as the norm.
For real this seems like a major red flag.
Awesome, the episode they added to the original Quake was fantastic so this should deliver as well. Also, I never played the N64 game either. Nightdive is too good for this world.
Cool, now make the search useful again by letting me do -thingIdon’twant or “thing I do want” in quotes. Why did that functionality even go away? Search is such garbage now that tries to get you to click on shit you didn’t search for.
I love the content/creators, but hate the company that runs it. Sadly, unless you are willing to give up the channels you love there isn’t much in the way of alternatives.
Let’s not think about the Reddit of today, let’s think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I can agree with this to a degree, but can’t we just not think of reddit? I mean, back then, I don’t recall redditors obsessing over other sites as much as I have seen on lemmy. Digg was the top dog, and I don’t recall daily threads about reddit’s numbers or how it wasn’t matching up.
It was just it’s own thing and not constantly comparing itself to it’s alleged competition. I feel like that helped it grow into it’s own thing, and we should give lemmy a chance to do the same instead of trying to turn it into reddit 2.0. That said, I might just be forgetting—there could’ve been constant ‘sky-is-falling-because-we-aren’t-Digg’ posts—but I just don’t recall them.
I was on reddit before the digg exodus, and the current state of lemmy feels somewhat reminiscent of those times. When communities are smaller there is just a completely different feel than the 1 million+ subscriber goliaths some subreddits became.
What is the reason for removing search functionality? Is it really just to make it harder to find what people want and potentially be served more ads? Hopefully site:whateverbutprobablyreddit.com never goes on the chopping block.
From where I sit, this instance of Lemmy is too small to worry about bots denying the users. 😉
Is it? I myself have gone to post something I found interesting, and saw a bot beat me to the punch. I feel it hurts the smaller communities even more. You end up with those bot post graveyards. Though, I get this a complete non-issue to some; It’s why I suggested letting the communities and moderators themselves decide. I see no harm in that.
My personal preferences make me more likely to comment and contribute to content posted by other humans. I get lemmy is small right now, but I don’t see why communities should wait to address these bots when they are already clearly a divisive subject.
The problem is that this seems like a band-aid fix to me. I mentioned this in another thread, but I feel like the bot posts deny the human chance to post and engage with the same content. When a human is the one to create the post they often have both knowledge and passion for the subject and will continue to engage in the comments. Bots do not.
I think ultimately this is something that should be handled by community mods. Ask for feedback from their communities, and if it’s what the people want disallow the bot posts.
Same, I had a knee-jerk angry reaction until I saw that it was free.
It’s legitimately one of the best Star Trek movies.
Agreed on all points. The last 3 episodes in particular were just visual stunners on top of awesome and challenging level design culminating in an immensely satisfying final battle against the titular ‘Evil’.
“No, You shall not fall today!”—I pretty much shared Civvie’s reaction: “You’re goddamn right.”
Have you tried any of the other Pokémon clones? I’d be interested to hear how you think it stacks up to some of the others. I tried a few, and none really captured what I wanted. I thought Cassette Beasts looked pretty cool style-wise so it was somewhat on my radar.
I was on E2M6 before work got extremely hectic and I put it on pause for a while. Now that I’m finally getting back to it, I love it so much. It combines two things I love: boomer shooters and Warhammer. To extend my playthrough, I’m playing it how I play classic Doom: Boltgun start only, no saves (death means I start the whole level over), and Exterminatus difficulty. It’s gotten challenging but I love the mastery that comes from playing a map from the beginning again.
Any boomer shooter fan is doing themselves a disservice if they don’t check it out.
I have just been using this script. Simple and works great. Also, it let’s you setup multiple home instances so if you have a back up account elsewhere to deal with downtime or an account for other things 👀 it’s fantastic.
Wow, 50% for Fear and Loathing is absolutely criminal. It’s what made me aware of Hunter S. Thompson in the first place—and it prompted me to delve into his other works. It also deepened my appreciation for Transmetropolitan’s Spider Jerusalem, who was blatantly inspired by him.
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don’t mistake Lemmy’s privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
