Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

There doesn't need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn't used to be so damn consolidated.

I don't give one shit about "Lemmy vs. Reddit". I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

I get that, but the anime subs were just so absurdly numerous. I just wanted to browse /r/all without having the entire page be anime and "weeb" stuff. I would click to filter out subs over and over and over again, which would help for a while, but eventually /r/all would be flooded with a new batch of anime subs. All I wanted was a "filter out all anime subs" checkbox in the settings.

I think part of what annoyed me about the anime subs also is how much of it was the lowest of low-effort content (which was the same state of affairs for the "irl" and "circlejerk" subs, hence why I disliked them just as much). If I skimmed /r/all and came across thoughtful discussions about subjects that didn't interest me, that never bothered me. But a screenful of crappy image posts never failed to annoy me.

I'm not arguing that the subs didn't have a right to exist or anything, all I'm saying is that I personally found them annoying, wanted to not see them, and have enjoyed the fact that I'm not seeing so much of that same content now that I'm browsing Lemmy instead.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

Consider the possibility that the "hate" is not an opinion being reached in good faith.

and buy up so much property it drives housing even higher

It's easier to blame Californians than the investment firms that are the ones actually buying up the housing inventory.

I want to report them for the fraud thing, but I’m the only one who knows about it aside from the owner, so they’d know it was me who reported it.

What's the owner gonna do, fire you?

Well, when I look at the All communities list, I'm not yet seeing an endless flood of groups with "_irl", "circlejerk", or groups for every single damn anime in existence.

So, thankfully, it's not feeling too Reddit just yet.

As someone that was a late teenager during the run of Infinity Engine games, and then witnessed the subsequent consolization and decline of CRPGs... seeing Baldur's Gate as a CRPG again and having it be a marquee AAA-caliber release is kinda mind-blowing.

The 2000s were a mistake, and so much of modern indie development is about undoing those mistakes. "Boomer" shooters, immersive sims, CRPGs, point and click adventures? All back on the menu, baby.

Release 3.5 already.

Submissions have to be related to games - Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

Sports are games. Not sure that's the kind of traffic this community is envisioning, though.

Sure, you could have ran RotT in a number of sourceports

Not very good ones. This project is probably one of the more necessary Nightdive port jobs. I hope it's good.

My man's out here binary search tree-ing his plugins, lol.

Taking a glance at Hexbear, it looks ridiculously juvenile.

Doesn't feel like it merits pre-emptive defederation, though.

Even if you fix Gollum, all you're gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.

No Man's Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.

Exhibit number I-lost-count in why my 50/50 PC/console split a decade or two ago is now a 100/0 split.

Steam Deck killed off the last console gaming I was doing.

Yup. Can't remember the exact date because I deleted those accounts, but from a glance at emails it was no later than 2010.

I now waste my time here, and occasionally look at a subreddit as a logged-out user for certain informational threads (eg. the pinned driver discussion thread atop /r/NVIDIA, or the pinned release discussion thread atop /r/UnRAID).

Hopefully in time, more of this discussion will migrate away from Reddit. I deleted my phone apps and my browser bookmark, so I no longer autopilot my way there.

Every time a 95% shot misses in XCOM (or X-Com), I cry.

Does Slashdot still have value? I read Slashdot way back in the '90s and early '00s.

Facebook collects all this data, yet Threads still thinks someone like me (who listens to extremely harsh underground music) wants to read posts from J-Lo.

This is funny, because I literally said “good!” when I read the post title. So I’m right there with you.
