I haven't played Genshin in a couple of years but it's definitely one of the better ones from what I've seen. I played through f2p until I had a sense of the game and was confident in the content and monetization model. After that I did spend whatever it was, five bucks(?), for the "battle pass" but honestly as long as you have the time to grind then Genshin is fairly non-invasive. That grind is why I quit though, the end game was a slog.

What do you mean what happened? Prices in my area dropped 20¢ overnight the day it went out of effect. They have yet to go back up (although I fully expect them to).

You trade me some of your friends and I'll give you some of my alone time, dealio?

Mouse sensitivity. Every game it's just ESC spam until I can get an options menu. Shoutout to the games with a 5m gameplay intro before you can access options. Super double special shoutout to games with 5m of very loud unskippable cutscenes before you can change audio settings.

Not sure if he's up your alley, but I enjoy Ryu (ryukahr) for this. I find his content cozy. I only watch his Mario channel but he has another channel with full play throughs of other games, mostly retro.

I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

With just a single account on ~~any~~ most Lemmy server(s) you can read and write ~~everything~~ most things everywhere else.

Click on the "all" button and you'll see content from ~~all~~ some subreddits on ~~all~~ some servers.

I know I am nit-picking, but this over-selling of federation as if it "just works" and takes no manual effort almost drove me away when I first joined. It did and still does drive me away from Mastodon, but Lemmy is not as problematic.

At any rate, I know we don't want to overload new users with talks of defederation and unfederated content, but pretending it doesn't exist makes for a very frustrating time the first time someone realises they can't see 50% of the posts or thinks Lemmy as a whole is really quiet when it's because their server isn't federated 100% with every other server.

Paywall article 🤮

Came here to say something similar because it's important to recognise that this likely is not out of the kindness of their hearts. But I don't think there's any reason to talk down potential allies either.

I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you're using doesn't support it?

I added a cheap PCI 4 slot NVMe expansion card and a couple of SSDs for a new pool and then migrated all the database-heavy stuff over to it. Required some use of local ZFS send/receive which I didn't know was possible, but it has gone smooth so far. Very happy with it! It no longer sounds like my HDD pool is trying to escape from hell and some of the services are much snappier, especially Bitmagnet. I'd highly recommend it as an upgrade for anyone still running purely HDDs. I thought I could get away with it but ZFS speeds are no faster than single drives and the amount of stuff I had was hammering it non-stop.

I also bought my own domain finally to escape the free-tier dynamic DNS woes and I can finally feel good about sharing links with other people. I slapped a file share container with disabled registrations on a sub domain. I put it all behind free tier Cloudflare to hide my server's IP, it took a little bit of learning what the different records are but so far much easier than I thought. Although I have yet to do the hardest part of setting up dynamic IP for my DNS records. I see a bunch of scripts floating around, but none seem that easy or well-maintained...

Oh, and the PI I've had running Pi-Hole v5 for god knows how long with no maintenance couldn't run Tailscale, so I wiped the entire thing to start fresh and got it up and running with Pi-Hole v6, Tailscale, and Unbound. I like having these separated from my other services as they are more critical to have at all times and I have had 100% uptime with my Pi so far. Although I chose Dietpi for my OS on a whim because it looked interesting and am not sold on it. I like that it has easy software installs with sane defaults so I probably saved time overall, but the amount of time I spent debugging the weird choices Dietpi made for basic shit like networking options really threw me off.

I guarantee you you can and eventually will if this platform lives on. Not to mention user propoganda is not exactly much better. Keep your brain on and don't believe any platform to be immune to garbage because they never are.
