    Hm, sounds like the opening paragraph to a mod, we should call it “better than armadillo’s” and essentially fork Minecraft into the game we think it should be.

    Oh, what’s that? Modders did that with wolves 10 years ago… oh, I’m old.




  • Yeah, Reddit will actually need to kill itself, which, with how it’s being run, isn’t out of the question. Or, something no one else has thought of has to do something better. I don’t know that you can have essentially a Reddit clone ever have the user base for a lot of those niche communities to exist. Because they already do.

    It’s hard for me to use Lemmy largely due to this. Unfortunately the communities I used Reddit for, really don’t exist anywhere else, so I still use Reddit, granted, in browser, and I no longer comment or engage with anything. But, it is the only place to get news and discourse for some of the things I like.

    I sometimes consider attempting to create a more niche community here occasionally, but, to what end? I don’t have the sources or inside knowledge for some things. Nor do I have time for it realistically. Sad really, I’d like Reddit to die as much as any of us. But, I don’t see it happening. I do like it better here though in terms of actual engagement, when it happens.






  • “Might not be a good year for games.” Idk, we’ve already had the surprise with palworld, which, while it didn’t really grab me, was a breath of fresh air for people. Helldivers slaps. I think the key is not to buy into hype, and play actually good games. People like to say 23 was a bad year too, but, I’d argue that stinkers like gollum just got more coverage and were on top of people’s minds. Not to excuse it at all, but, I played a lot of really good games last year.












  • I agree. And I most definitely understand, you don’t have, not should you expect a right to privacy the second you leave your front door. (Arguably before that too, but that’s neither here nor there.)

    I think what bothers me most is, I don’t want, let’s say my walking pattern in a city, monitored(it already is) to then have some camera see that I’m having a “bad day” then in inundated with ads that, “based on my profile, x emotion shows I’ll spend money here.” Idk. It just feels very dystopian, if that reasoning makes sense. Though, it’s sorta like climate change, it’s inevitable and the individual is essentially powerless.
