Just finished Tunic. I shan’t spoil the game since I encourage people to go in blind, but it has so much charm in it and focuses on such a unique sense of nostalgia.

“We here at Meta take people’s privacy very seriously and are committed to protecting our users. Unfortunately at this time we can’t discuss what measures we’ve put in place.”

Meta could probably mitigate at least some fears about this if they did any planning or discussions out in the open.

I get they want to have a massive “reveal event” or something, but come on…

It’s entirely possible (but perhaps unlikely) that this is a passion project by some engineers and Facebook is just sponsoring them “hands off”.

Cautiously optimistic for Pikmin 4, here.

League of Legends, but with the attitude of “We really need to try more games, but this is the only one we all play.”

We’ve also played Overwatch and FFXIV, but they don’t really stick that well long term.

While I hope Lemmy/Kbin takes off (heck, I’d love early internet forums to come back in style) and kicks off a second internet renaissance, the imminent collapse of Reddit legit is giving me anxiety. Hope y’all don’t mind if I vent a bit.

Firstly, there are a lot of “niche” communities on Reddit, mostly dedicated to individual games and the like. The kind of thing where fanart, announcements and discussions happen. In the short term, I don’t see them surviving the collapse. And if they do, they’ll probably move to a not-great platform like Discord or whatever Facebook comes out with.

Secondly, with SEO optimized AI generated garbage topping search results, Reddit has become an important reference when looking for reviews and opinions on things. As well as that, it has become somewhat of an archive of internet culture in a way. With subreddits moving to black out permanently and a push for users shredding their own data, there’s a very real chance that all of this content will be lost forever.

Agreed, but I think the best way of doing that is to have an instance setting where NSFW subs/posts don’t appear in the “All” list or similar. So people can (if they so choose) subscribe to these sorts of things from other instances, but it doesn’t appear in public feeds.

I think one thing Lemmy is lacking is “Limited” federation a la Mastodon, where you can designate some servers (or communities?) as “limited”, meaning that their messages don’t apear in public feeds.

Of course, at the end of the day, instance admin makes the rules and if they don’t like anything (NSFW or otherwise) they can just ban federating with it.

In addition to nobody really wanting to set one up for (non furry) smut, some instances don’t allow you to subscribe to NSFW communities on any instance. I think lemmy.ml is one that doesn’t allow it, but I’m not sure how you would check.

Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to “user interactions”, whatever that means.

TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.
