Yea, the download size was getting too big (or they couldn’t be bothered QA-ing new gear with old content) so they started deleting old stuff.

Means if you start playing now you can’t play the story from the beginning which seems pretty terrible to me.

Could instances not basically do that here too though?

Does karma actually effect your account on reddit?

The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.

This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.

Thanks. I’ve been using liftoff too but have been finding it a little buggy at times.

Hoping Boost for Lemmy will launch soon

Which client are you using now?

I used to love MMOs (Eve Online and FFXIV) back when I had masses of free time and could get away with coming home from work and getting stuck into a game from 6pm until 12pm every night. The communities I got to join in with were great and it was really fun. Loved Dota 2 for years as well.

Now that I’ve got a kid though I have to play things that I can pick up and put down quickly and easily and that’s kind of pushed me into mostly playing single player games now. Currently playing FFXVI.

I think the big worry with AI and the arts is the threat of it putting legit artists out of business.

I think film is less likely to be effected, but certainly typical art and music could be effected pretty badly.

You need to sneak it into their house and put it up somewhere!

Have a look at a game called Banished. It’s a town builder that felt quite relaxing to play, but had a bit of a survivalist side to it as well.

Rimworld is probably slightly too combat focused, but it’s an amazing game and has definite building elements to it as well.

Pure city builder I’d probably go for skylines, though I don’t think it’s got the kind of trade and resource management that’s so important in Anno

I mean, at the moment I’ll just take most active. I believe in the idea of the fediverse giving us multiple communities for different vibes of talking about the same topics but for now I’ll just take having communities that are a bit more active

Sorry I think you misinterpret what I was saying.

Im saying that those who don’t care about it are also likely the ones that need to care about it the most.

It’s worth comparing similar communities on different instances to make sure you find the most active group.

I went for a 5 year mortgage rather than a 2 year at my last renewal. With how much rates have increased by recently, I think this will have saved me about £15k by the end of the 5 years.

I feel like Cambridge Analytics stuff was about picking out who might be vulnerable to those types of political campaigns and by nature there’s probably a bit of a correlation between that type of vulnerability and a lack of understanding of why their privacy is important.

The people who recognise it’s important are unlikely to be the ones picked out by these groups anyway

You should check out Foxhole. It’s a pretty similar type of game though not an fps. Is more of a top down shooter type thing

Hadn’t realised they stopped updating it :(

I remember playing the demo of it over and over again but I never saw the full game for sale anywhere so didn’t get to play properly. The monster merging thing was awesome and I remember the flutey music being awesome.

At the same time, in Pokemon Red I didn’t know where to go at all after the 3rd gym and when I did eventually find that cave I didn’t know flash was a thing, so that was painful.

I think I had a level 45 Venasaur by the 4th gym!

Ahh, so not really a threat to Lemmy then? Like they aren’t really trying to be the same thing…
