  • signal has sticker packs

    wait it does? maybe then I can convince my contacts to move there xD Seriously stickers are the main selling point of Telegram for us

  • In a way, piracy can fix that problem too, since pirate servers existing for ongoing games means they’ll never actually die

    That happened to Ragnarok Online. Iirc the early server code got leaked by hackers (it seems it's still being developed on GitHub lol), so all throughout the game's 20+ years lifetime it has had a flourishing private server scene with hundreds of servers still online, so I don't think it will die in our lifetimes.

  • The theft was the scraping and regurgitating of art that then puts the original artists out of work.

  • Guild Wars 1 - last month celebrated its 20-years anniversary :) I only started it in 2018, but it's a really solid game!

    And both its developer and publisher are committed to keeping it alive as long as they can. It's been mostly automated in 2013, so apparently it costs very little to keep the servers running.

  • fuck, I'm using the Pocket plugin a lot :[

    not for proper bookmarking, just to mark where I was in longer videos and webcomics, 1 click on/off, easy

  • that's beyond my IT skills, but AdGuard fortunately works for most apps

  • Yeah, that's one of the memories I retained of my 12-years-ago playthrough that the first boss was the most difficult by far.

    Another of my issues is that I'm a completionist and want to play every sidequest and get most unlockables. And that means either juggling 4 wiki lists while playing, or as I ended up having to do, unify them into a single spreadsheet for each chapter. Spending hours not actually playing the game 😑

  • or be like me, play Witcher 1, then play other stuff for 12 years, then start replaying it again to go through the whole series this time, then take a 6-months break 2 chapters in... 😅 (yea, I have issues)

    I love its atmosphere and writing, but the jank...

  • I wish Cyberpunk went under -60% off. I don't tend to buy stuff over -80-90% sale, so more patience for me... 😅

  • the app only has half the functionality of the web page

    ... and all the ads, that I can't block outside the browser

  • Yeah, I still regularly visit Reddit because communities related to my specific games (GW2, Genshin) or countries (UK, Hungary) seem rather dead on Lemmy.

    Also more story-based forums like AITA, TIFU or HobbyDrama, and of course my favourite, BestOfRedditorUpdates (whose Lemmy equivalent would need several active story-based communities to curate from).

    Still a long way to go for Lemmy to completely replace Reddit for me 😮‍💨

  • people who use LLMs as search engine make me go 😨

    my colleagues are doing it too, and I just want to yell at them that LLMs have no idea about reality, they will confidently tell you to eat glue

  • had to look it up, 1996, damn that's an old game xd

  • Oh I forgot about Oxenfree. Yeah, the story and voice acting were quite good, but the game had so many annoying design/UI decisions that it left me frustrated more than anything else :c
