That's when you just flip a coin between positive or negative response and hope for the best.

If I don't engage with something basically every day I just forget it exists. Doesn't matter if it's a friend, a TV show I'm watching or working out every morning.

Love Summit, and idunnolulz is a fantastic dev. It's already my preferred app, but when the whole roadmap is implemented it will be the best by a margin I think.

+1, would be really great!

God that brings me back to middle school computer classes and hacking together your own websites with basic HTML.

Isn't this old news? I am pretty sure they submitted a request back in like February already.

If you want the SNES emulation flavour I am a big fan of the Woolsey Uncensored romhack. So much of the 90s Final Fantasy charm (in the west) came from Woolsey's uniquely creative translations, and it's a shame to miss out on it in my opinion.

If you prefer the Pixel Remaster version there is a mod to use the Woolsey Uncensored script instead for that one too. I haven't tested that one personally but it could potentially be the best of both worlds if it works.

The Talos Principle series are probably the biggest and best 3D first-person puzzle games out there, together with the Portal series.

I think Blue Prince needs to be added to this list going forward.

I assume you've already played Final Fantasy VI?

It's a damn shame because Sync is absolutely excellent, but it's already had several quite severe bugs gone unfixed for over a year now, and it will stop working altogether with Lemmy 1.0.

If you're looking for an alternative Summit has been great, and the developer is super active and responsive. It's without a doubt the best alternative, in my opinion.

So my impatient gaming is over for the moment. I'm finally finished with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Well, I say finished but that is a bit of a lie. It still lives rent free in my head and I'm still watching people play it to relive those first playthrough moments. But I'm done playing for now. I was actually tempted to go straight back and do NG+ immediately after seeing the credits, and that is a very rare feeling for me. Last time I had that feeling was Alan Wake 2. Anyway, the game is great: play it, wishlist it, whatever - just don't miss it. I think it will be a shoe-in for Game of the Year, and it's one of the best games I've ever played.

As my repentance for being super impatient two months in a row with Blue Prince and Expedition 33 back-to-back, I've gone back to an old classic for my next game: F.E.A.R.. I never actually played it back in the day, I remember trying the demo but my PC at the time couldn't handle it and it fell to the wayside later as I played other games. I've installed a couple of mods: upscaled textures (didn't get the actual Rivarez Mod, just the textures) and the Echo Patch for stuff like HUD scaling and FPS fix. I'm also playing on DLDSR 1.78x and with RTX HDR.

With all that said, the game holds up incredibly well. The lighting and atmosphere is phenomenal, but what is really striking is the gunplay and enemy AI. This really doesn't feel like a 20-year-old game. Even if you completely ignore the horror elements, the game is just an incredibly enjoyable shooter, with every engagement feeling thrilling as enemies flank you, hide, flee, sneak and flush you out with grenades. The bullet time is cinematic, but a little overpowered. Though you can just elect to not use it.

If you haven't already, pick it up on GOG and play it. You can probably get it for like a dollar on sale and that's an absolute steal. Now if only I could get EAX emulation working...

Once practice and qualifying were completed, every car had lapped the Jeddah Corniche Circuit faster than its predecessor had managed with a single exception: the AMR25s of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll

 

Someone else linked this absolutely haunting reading of Kipling's 1915 war poem some month or so back elsewhere on Lemmy and it's stayed with me since then. The poem is great in its own right but this reading is something else.

 

If this is a one-stop we're doomed. And I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that it will be.

  • Swipe gesture actions don't work in the inbox view. I often find myself instinctively swiping to Upvote and/or reply on comments in my inbox, but it doesn't work unless you click through to open the comment thread. Would be convenient to have them work right there in the inbox.

  • Automatically hide the default banner from the header of Subscribed, Local and All feeds. It's nice to have the Post View Header setting on for communities, but the home page feeds doesn't have banners so it's just clutter. Possibly also automatically hide the banner and/or icon for communities that doesn't have a custom one set?

  • Option to have left-to-right swipe act as "back" button on all screens, including menus. Would help using the phone one handed.

  • Option to have "Confirm exit or save draft" dialogue pop up when exiting a post/comment you've typed in but not sent. More convenient than manually saving drafts, doesn't automatically clutter your saved drafts like auto-saving does and still works as a safeguard against accidentally losing long unsent posts.

  • View "Remote Local" function - ie what the Local page looks like on an instance other than your home, but without changing accounts. Good for finding new active communities, especially on smaller instances.

~~Remote instance community browser. Basically just a list of all the communities on a given instance that you can click through. Another good way of finding new communities.~~ EDIT: I found this is already possible. Maybe make it more visible? I don't know.

 

It hasn't been the most active lately but with the recent influx of new users I thought it might be a good time to promote it. I'll try to make an effort to post more but no promises.

Very impressive turnaround from Brighton and Hurzeler. Curious to see who comes out on top in tonight's rematch.

 

Lemmy Federate är ett verktyg som hjälper nyligen skapta communities federera med andra instanser. Såg att vi inte är registrerade där, och det kanske vore en idé att signa upp? Vet inte om den arbetar retroaktivt men skulle i alla fall hjälpa nya communities här få mer traction.
