  • They changed the overall game design in Assassin's Creed Origins, but not out of goodness of their hearts. The game's new direction was more compatible with microtransactions.

  • Ubisoft seem to be running out of ideas if their best bet is remaking a relatively recent game. They should leave the Assassin's Creed franchise resting for a bit if they lack innovative ideas for it.

    Maybe doing a feudal Japan AssCreed is still valid as there's fan demand for it, but if they do they better nail it because they'll be inevitably compared to Ghost of Tsushima.

  • Ars Technica recently published an article very critical of Mastodon. The main takeaway is the argument that Mastodon won't scale well to a large userbase, as the more instances there are, the bigger the server burden to everyone. And as most users are against corporate funded instances (they'd defederate from any that emerge), it may be unsustainable mid/long-term.

    I wonder if these scaling-issues apply to Lemmy too? The instances make copies of posts/comments from other instances. They copy images too? And videos? If so, I imagine a future where only the bigger and wealthiest instances will survive.

    And concerning moderation tools, I know they'll improve with time. But how can a federated system like Lemmy do certain tasks that Reddit's Pushshift enabled? Example: bots detecting and deleting re-posts, spam, bad actors across multiple communities, etc.

  • I'm more motivated to participate when there's fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.
