I would sort of expect it to be the stuff we struggle to get rid of, like fungi and weeds. So maybe mushrooms and dandelions? This is just a wild guess, and obviously you couldn’t live off them forever.

Technology@beehaw.org•PSA: Reddit is Forcing Users to Accept Personalized Ads
12·2 years agoOr am I missing something?
I think the only distinguishing factor is to target, it must gather data. So that means your activity is being tracked, stored, and shared with third parties. Of course for some people this will matter more than to others, but for those privacy focused you now know for certain they are storing data on you, potentially making money off of selling it, with no way to opt out.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Report: Fall Guys dev Mediatonic "decimated" by Epic layoffs
6·2 years agoThey just did that FF14 collab too… I think the fall guys portion of it was already accessible but I think the ff14 event is coming up next patch?

Games@lemmy.world•"They don’t care": Inside the triumphs and failures of accessible gaming hardware
18·2 years agoThis is quite the in-depth article on the topic, I might have to read through it a few times to digest it all.
One thing I was going to point out was I definitely see benefit to working on software changes where possible to save the cost of needing specialized equipment. The article does cover this
Holden cites Sea of Thieves’ addition of ‘single stick’ controls, where any swashbuckling and/or plundering can be performed using a single thumbstick
I was going to mention PSO2: NGS which has a single button to cast any spells based on what might be best for that situation (maybe one of the few things I liked about that game…). Definitely would like to see more of that. I also play FF14 and read a theory that the devs there consider button bloat a game feature, so whenever they simplify one skill (by making it a single button) they have to split another skill by making it multiple instead, which I find really unfortunate, I have a disabled friend who has trouble playing much due to the mass amount of skills.
And yea, definitely a good idea to donate to charity. SpecialEffect is listed which has been in the Yogscast Jingle Jam charity event at the end of the year. Assuming they have one this year and are taking part, might be a good idea to send some money their way or to other relevant charities for people who can do so

Games@lemmy.world•How Cyberpunk 2077 clawed its way back from disaster to complete one of the greatest redemption arcs in gaming history
31·2 years agoThe article does a good job of summarizing everything they changed and improvements, but I feel like pcgamer’s headline is sort of leaving off a “… after reducing scope”. For instance, the multiplayer mode that had been announced before launch. I also think I read they planned on multiple DLCs but they reduced that down to just this one? Regardless all my friends seem to enjoy the game so I’m sure it’s a fun game to play
One thing I’ve been told in the past is that with public voting records you at least get an idea of if brigading is happening, where it’s coming from etc. Though maybe that’s just a giant list of randomly generated usernames but if it’s coming from a single instance there are at least actions to take from that.

Patient Gamers@lemmy.ml•Games with absolute banger OSTs (and perhaps good stories / gameplay)
4·2 years ago- Paradise Killer
- River City Girls 1
- River City Girls 2
- Enderal (the entire soundtrack is good but maybe not bangers, just good story)
Wait the suggestion of Jet Set Radio made me think
- Gran Turismo
- Twisted Metal
- Cool boarders
Now those are some classics, time to break out the PS2
Definitely curious to see if we experience waves similar to how mastodon does every time elon says something stupid. I’m not sure we will, though. With the entire reddit gold thing I was expecting people to throw their arms up about the reversal of stuff people paid money for but it seems like they just accepted it and moved on. Perhaps the people that remain will stay there no matter what. Regardless I think how things are going here are still promising.

Games@lemmy.world•FTC fails to redact Microsoft document, revealing an old Bethesda release schedule
12·2 years agoIt also says FY which I assume means Fiscal Year. It seems like Microsoft’s fiscal years end in June and start in July based on browsing a few investor pages (like this one saying fourth quarter ended in June). Not that that completely solves for the time difference but wanted to mention it

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Instance Protectionism in the Threadiverse happens because of the Prisoner’s Dilemma (protecting one's own instance is currently more sensible than increasing overall discussion quality)
4·2 years agoI do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That’s obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.
I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn’t even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.
This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I’d like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.

10·2 years agoMastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed
Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn’t much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.
Personally, I didn’t agree with your previous post and I don’t agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they’re the ones paying and maintaining it. If it’s not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren’t locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark “hot” and “sub” and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.
I have a metal coffee table that I tap every time I get up. Maybe something similar if not that, like an end table next to your couch?

Games@lemmy.world•Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Official 2023 Announcement Trailer
17·2 years agoNeither of those had any NPCs, did they? I’m not familiar with Dear Esther but from looking it up it says you just explore environments, and I remember Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture having like, vague humanoid models but I don’t recall them being animated, could be wrong.
I admittedly don’t follow mastodon development much but wonder if there are plans to allow switching it out. I know firefish allows meilisearch which I’ve read is far more efficient

This sentence sort of reads like there was a link expected to be in it, but I could be mistaken. I think I found it here.
