Eh, that’s a mixed bag. Absolutely, one could setup shared delete requests, to federate a delete request, but it would be a bit of a lie as anyone could simply… update their instance to simply ignore delete requests.
For now, simply not having a delete feature is a more honest to the realities of the fediverse. There’ll never be a “true” delete, even if they do eventually support one that’s “good enough”.
Yeah, similar experience. The only game I tried was basically a web version of state.io, which was already a free app anyway, but instead I got to play a worse version in YT that made my phone burning hot. Cool.
I actually did enjoy it, so I just… downloaded the real app and never booted a game via YT again.
Ah, well that niceness was much shorter lived than expected. Oh well, my VPN will continue to block the ads anyway.
I’d be very surprised if anything functional actually comes out of this. Far more likely they get scammed out of the money by garbage like the current “AI writing detection” methods, with terrible success rates that cause more societal problems than they solve.
Pretty happy about it honestly. He’s been counting down to this for ages in his newsletter, so it’s far from a blindside on my end.
I’ve preferred much of his “second channel” content for a while now anyways, and I suspect we’ll see lots of interesting content outside of the boundaries of “things you may not know”.
My two are Morrowind, where I loved the quest design and lack of handholding, but the random hit chance and BS difficulty distribution were just… too much to handle.
And also, KOTOR, which I expected to love as a huge Star Wars fan, but the “stand around while dice are rolled” combat was just… exceptionally boring and tedious.
Eh, that is kinda the appeal of Reddit, and its alternatives. Finding smaller communities of likeminded individuals that you can group into a tailored feed.
I always say the magic of this model is that it’s not just a firehose of every possible interest, it’s more like a shower of dozens of tiny handpicked jets. It just happens that on Lemmy, the “All” feed is still reasonably tailored to the main demographic here. That being tech nerds who dislike Reddit’s recent decisions enough to make a change.
Legally responsible, for one.
I.E. If a federated instance hosted pedophilia, that content would be copied to, and served by, your instance’s infrastructure, which is obviously legally problematic.
Mine is still that (on Mac, at least) the only way to update Apple apps is by updating the whole system. Work requests we don’t update our macs, and now I still can’t edit texts from my computer.
Oh, what an interesting idea! I like this, on Monday I’ll test out switching to this as my main search engine for work and try to report back how it goes!
Surprisingly legible, but feels like I can only read it with momentum, flitting past it and letting my subconscious tell me where the word breaks are. The moment I get confused and look more closely, it becomes almost impossible to read.
Surprisingly, a lot of the creepy media is fairly accurate, though extreme. Demons aren’t prominent, we know they are angels who rebelled with Lucifer, and were cast out, so that would be their appearance, but in reference to possession, we basically have those that Jesus encountered and a few his apostles drove out in his name later on.
And what we see are people behaving almost like animals, screaming, shouting, with an inhuman strength to break chains or whatever locals have tried to contain them with, and inflicting a lot of self harm. There’s a woman who would throw herself into fires, a man who had 100 demons in him (where “I am legion” comes from") who would throw himself onto rocks and off cliffs and cut himself, etc.
The more manufactured elements are the head twisting, anything to do with pentagrams, and honestly a lot of the hostility to others. People usually steered clear, but demon possessed individuals generally did more self harm than harming others, with cases where Jesus would meet them within cities, and they weren’t surrounded by dead people or a panicking mob or anything. They also don’t “haunt” or hunt people like they do in movies, but are usually extremely obvious.
Anyway, that’s my experience purely from biblical account, off the top of my head, I’m sure others can add more detail or examples.
I suspect this is the end for now. MS won’t be able to quell anticompetitive fears on another large buy for at least 5-10 years, IMO, and with the economy down overall, few companies will be looking to spend big money. Embracer not getting their payout is another scare for the industry too.
That said… it’s likely only a matter of time, and this consolidation will likely continue eventually. Hopefully small indie studios continue to thrive to fill the niche.
Still wish they’d just… let this one die and let Arkane move on. Hopefully this can be the final update.
Honestly, I like this idea, just because it means I could block your instance in my app and instantly filter out that kind of content, just like how someone can block lemmynsfw to get rid of almost all porn.
Yeah, nothing but respect for Lego here. Tried it, proved it wasn’t viable, chose not to do it just for the PR, and set back out to continue looking for something that actually works.
That’s too bad. I pay for premium, it’s the main thing I watch, and I actually regularly download and background play, so it’s worth it, but… man, they’ve really been cranking up the price and it’s getting ridiculous.
I wish they’d at least offer a marginally cheaper option without YouTube Music. Was a much better value with Google Play Music, YT Music is such a terrible service that I literally went out and started paying for Apple Music to get off it.
This seems like a pretty good indicator that they intend to stick with all or nothing though, which is very disappointing.
You’re in the F1 community? What did you expect to happen here?
This seems amazing! As someone with an overflowing shelf, and a lust for some of those insane 500$+ Star Wars sets they’ve been putting out, I’d go crazy for this.
Hopefully this does very well, and we can have a similar concept in Canada one day.
Honestly, would still be nice to have, for how much Xbox controllers are the de facto controller on PC as well.
Lots of games there between steam input, emulators, etc, where it just feels odd to not have that gyro in what’s otherwise a very premium controller (I’m using the Elite controller). It’s my favourite controller hands down, and yet I consider using my Switch Pro Controller just for gyro in some titles.
And yeah, better to lay that groundwork now for the next generation than miss out on it entirely.
