Yeah I actually really like P4G even if it looks "outdated". I played P3R as my introduction to the Persona series but I thought P4G had a lot of charm in its style.
I'd be interested in a remake of P1 and P2 though.
My friends and I played R6 a lot until early 2020. It was a lot of fun back then. I preferred it over CSGO because it had more strategic depth and it didn't rely too much on aim. It was all about information gathering and learning different setups and countering the common ones.
Trying the game again last year and it was a mess. So many new operators to grind out for and a lot of them were really weird. We thought Oryx was weird already and now I come back and you can play as two robots as a single operator :/
It's easy to make statements, suggestions, and opinions, but it's really hard to actually do things in practice.
We all want more people here. The question is "How?", and simply saying "Make good defaults" is easier said than done (what are good defaults?) and "good defaults" is too simple of an answer to a very complex issue.
The conversation has been stuck here for over a year already as very few people are actually willing to develop and test these solutions which takes a lot of resources too.
The irony of the situation is that a lot of these solutions that have been suggested also need a central authority. For example, people have suggested creating a central hub where everyone can sign up to. Another example is creating a little quiz which begs the question "Who decides which instances goes there?".
The best effort I've seen in trying to implement a solution are Reddit mirrors which aren't well-received because nobody likes talking to bots.
As a personal anectode on "lowering the barrier of entry":
Since I started this instance (ani.social), my goal in mind was to make it very easy for users to sign up. There's no manual approval here (except when it's being flooded with trolls). Only email verification is needed -- just like every social media platform.
But sometimes when new users sign up, they comment or post on communities in instances that defederated from us.
Now I have to think about how I'm supposed to explain defederation to people, and the moment I do try to explain, that's a big turn off for many.
Again, I'm not saying Lemmy can't improve (it can in a lot of ways), but it all boils down to developer resources and who's willing enough to test these solutions to see what works and what doesn't. On the other hand, it takes minimal effort to say "It needs to be better".
I think the irony here is that the user-friendliness experience of Bluesky stems from it being a centralized service (in practice). I seriously doubt most people who signed up for Bluesky even understand what "decentralized social media" means.
I'm not saying Lemmy (and the greater Fediverse) can't improve, but it's clear that the biggest barrier for most people is the decentralized aspect itself -- the core of the Fediverse -- which is something one shouldn't really "hide".
As long as the state of social media usership demands centralized practices, then the Fediverse will forever be at a disadvantage in gaining mass adoption in my opinion.
Oh I had a similar experience in elementary school. Our teacher knew and told us that Pluto wasn't a planet anymore but because the textbook was out of date, she told us that if it came up on our tests, consider Pluto a planet anyway.
I like PipePipe. You can log in with a YouTube account (which fixes a lot of the YouTube blocking for me) and it's a fork of NewPipe too (just like Tubular but it regularly receives updates).
But understandable if you wouldn’t want to touch it, Doesn’t it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?
There are already two projects that mirror/bridge Reddit posts to Lemmy. Unsurprisingly, they have very little interaction right now. I've subscribed to some, and even I don't interact with those myself. Not because I hate it though, but because I find no reason to.
Good explanation. I think many people miss out the point of Shinji. Too many people assume that protagonists are always people that you should aspire to be, but Shinji's messed up self and traumatic past is something that still resonates with many youth today.
There are a lot of cues that happen in the game and you just kind of respond to that. I mostly play roaming supports so my brain is wired to go straight to mid after recall then look around the map to see where my presence is useful. The most obvious cues are the junglers.
Anyway, it's kind of like flash cards. When you memorize things with flash cards, at some point you don't really think anymore. There's a default answer to every situation. But sometimes you get it wrong though. If you get it wrong too often, then those are bad habits.
The new game mode looks like the opposite of R6. The map is more open? Looks COD-like. R6 has always been CQB to me.
The interactive props are cool though.
