I played some Tiny Life recently. I liked it, but it is a bit simple, and the bigger issue I had with it is just that there isn’t much to it, especially to build. There’s like two counters, two fridges, one shower… from my perspective it really needs an artist to just go ham and make tons of options so there’s stuff to actually decorate with, even if stats are the same.

I took screenshots of this convo as well 😆 Picked this game up when it went on sale for the multiplayer update, been having a fun time. Not too far into it though, been taking my time catching everything and ranking everything up first.

Any reason MATE over Xcfe? Just curious if the performance is close or MATE is better at things, not trying to question your decisions. I have a >9 year old PC at this point and installed Cinnamon on it but was finding it a bit laggy. I tried out the other editions but am sticking with LMDE for now, but sort of feel like I don’t really need nice animations, I just need more CPU for faster compile times, haha

That’s very surprising to me as it’s a two year old game at this point. Looking it up, I guess there were three years between 1 and 2. Wonder if they’re working on a 3 at this point

This may come close to what OP is looking for as it includes reasons for the tags such as gore or spoiler

I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn’t quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.

I always think about the post I saw a while back that was like “I use KeepassXC, a fork of KeepassX, a port of Keepass”. That seems very likely to be true in regards to the fediverse as well.

But I think that’s great, as a contributor to one platform I don’t necessarily see it as “one software above all”, which might be bad to say, but more like we’re all sailing on the much larger ship Fediverse, and it’s been great to see so much back and forth between the different ones, for example one person helping get pixelfed’s avatars federating, or piefed’s blogs, which helped reduce page load sizes for mbin by 40%. It’s quite possible we’re all just slowly contributing to a lot of learned lessons for a yet unstarted software.

All that said, mastodon does have a ton of staying power, as you said. Once they fully support groups, and lemmy has stated they never plan to support microblogs, it’s quite possible that mastodon will be a very solid experience for most of what people are looking for.

Any clarification you can provide on what “this path” means? Edit: Just trying to double check anything would be covered by known issues/roadmap, but it’s fair to say there are a lot of issues.

In the end it’s mostly an agreement on how moderation actions should and are allowed to propagate for activity pub groups, which you can learn more about here https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md#group-moderation

The tl;dr is there’s a set way of saying these specific users are allowed to send actions such as delete on these specific posts, and software that implements groups (communities, to lemmy) ideally implement it in the same way. Of course, someone could always make a software that denies all remote moderation actions for instance, so it’s always up to those implementing the AP spec.

Lemmy has a large userbase, so generally probably gets to decide a lot of these things, such as how moderators are listed when getting information on communities, and other software will have to choose to follow along to be able to work with the large userbase or raise concerns/give feedback if needed

Visa systems were down one day for me when I needed gas, and I decided then to always have at least two different types just in case (it also helps with other issues as I tend of get chip malfunction errors and stuff)

What gets to me is the “Thanks in advance”. I might be alone in this, I asked a co-worker and she said it just seemed like normal dialogue, but I interpret that as “You don’t have a say in the matter, you will do this, your consent is not needed”. Granted, the people who say this to me are my boss or director, so they’re right, I don’t have a choice. But if I wanted to be reminded of reality, I wouldn’t play so many video games.

I’m glad they look much better in game than the trailer one. Not sure what was up with the trailer one, maybe slightly small head or flat snout, but it came off as a bit uncanny valley looking.

This completely blew my mind when I saw it; I thought I had passed out and was dreaming about PSO2 or something

Does the subscription ever go on sale?

The base game / expansions do, but I’ve never seen a sale on subscriptions (though there are free login campaigns, which are usually like 4 days long). The good thing is: the free trial is a ton of content, especially since Stormblood was added to it. Also, I find there’s plenty of time to unsub and not miss much between patches if you do catch up, like right now myself and my friends aren’t subbed while waiting for the next event or content drop.

Are the classes/races decently balanced?

No racial differences in this game. Class wise, playing regular content (not savage/extreme/static raiding), everything is completely viable and no one will have an issue with people playing any class. The main thing to watch out for is doing your class quests to have all skills (top left of the default HUD shows current main story quest and right under it current class quest) and when a class hits 30, it unlocks a questline to change into another class and you must do that and upgrade your class, that would be the only reason anyone would be upset xD

I saw a menu option for macros, and I’d assume that’s keyboard-only?

I think macros can be used on controller as well. I can’t speak to controller too much, as I don’t use it, but I know people say it works fairly well. All I know is it’s called “cross” in the menus so things like cross hotbars are for controllers. Macro wise I’m not sure macros are used too much. I have plenty of crafting / gathering / changing classes macros, but people tend to not use them for combat actions as they have a slight delay compared to firing off actions manually.

An actually good outfit for free? hype. I wasn’t a fan of the dream set
