Whatever you want to call the genre that Vampire Survivors popularized, Brotato is one of the best of them. The concept is inherently stupid, and they lean all the way into it. It’s also only $5.
I enjoyed them all, but Asylum was my favorite by far. It struck a perfect balance between being a tight, contained experience, while giving you a great set of tools to deal with things as you saw fit. It was claustrophobic in a great way, and you felt like an apex predator when you figured out how to work within the constraints.
The rest of them feel excessive in comparison, both being too open and giving you too many tools to work with. I never felt like I could get into a “flow state” with them like I could with Asylum.
This feels like a gross overreaction to the situation. Sure, I don’t love the fact that TD has a tiny presence here, but I fail to see how that should be cause to defed a large instance. Especially when that community just popped up recently, only came to anyone’s attention in the last day or so, and (to my knowledge) hasn’t caused any real trouble other than the Agora mod vote thread getting a bit spicy.
I’m sure it’s something we’ll need to address internally, but it’s just one item on that list. And for now, it seems like a low priority item.
If you want some really wild old storage tech, a normal VHS cassette could hold 3-5gb of data. But we didn’t have any use for that much storage at the time, and CDs were taking over by the time we did, so nobody bought the VHS storage hardware.
I’ll probably try it eventually, but I don’t have high hopes since Edmund isn’t involved. SMBF was awful, and this looks like a similar mess.
Consider this another vote for Ubuntu or any of its variants. They’re beginner friendly, and established enough that you’ll find plenty of resources written specifically for them. Linux Mint is another one I’d recommend for beginners, it’s designed to “just work” out of the box and be an easy transition for Windows users.
Then it’s just down to using it some. First and foremost, leave Windows installed until you’re comfortable with whatever else you end up trying. Whether you partition, or make a bootable USB drive, or even just a VM, use some kind of temporary space for practice. The terminal is a lot less intimidating when you aren’t learning in your main environment, you can go break things and see what happens.
So far, we have a captcha on account creation now and it seems to be working (from what I’ve seen, anyway)
It’ll be a tough balancing act though. Relatively frictionless sign-up has been great for us, and anything that deals with bots will also affect that. Whatever else we may end up doing will need to be carefully considered.
I don’t even really think about it, I just comment if I have something to say. At worst, nobody reads it and I was shouting into the void for a minute.
But the Lemmy userbase isn’t massive yet, so those week+ old posts still see more engagement than you’d think.
The first time they referred to that world as the “Apex Universe”, I gave up all hope. Even if they do make a Titanfall 3, it won’t be what we want.
It wouldn’t help with things like international tax havens, or shell corps, or creative accounting, the list goes on and on. It doesn’t really matter what a single country does, it’s a global issue that would require global cooperation to address.
You can buy some at the grocery store, it says “Moon Cheese” right on the damn bag! They wouldn’t just lie about what they’re selling
And to make matters annoying, restarting the service that causes the sorting bug can trigger some other bugs (federation errors iirc). So there isn’t a “right” answer until the real fix comes.
Archive.org is also doomed, I’ve seen to that one personally.
Because of federation, I just didn’t think about it too hard. I clicked on Sh.itjust.works because the name made me giggle when I saw it, and signed up immediately because the first post I saw was the boss sharing server stats and being totally transparent about operations and intentions. At the time, it was one of the smaller instances that might not last.
Choosing “wrong” never seemed like a big deal, it’s not hard to start fresh somewhere else if needed.
9 was even worse for that, every fight drags on for ages. It’s the only one I struggle to replay.
For 8, it’s generally best to avoid combat anyway because of the way level scaling worked. Enemies get stronger much faster than you do, even with good junctions. And it seems like the devs knew this a, since Diablos is available so early and built for low-level play. It lets you reduce or eliminate random encounters (and very cheaply), lets you refine status magic that comes in handy at low levels, and its attack has great utility against hard targets.
The slower fights aren’t as big of a deal when you aren’t doing as many of them, they feel more “cinematic” instead.
If you haven’t already, definitely give 4 a try. The gameplay isn’t as polished, but you can see where everything you loved about 5 came from. And the story/characters are arguably even better than 5.
Persona 3-5 and Doom 2016 win by virtue of being the only ones I listen to regularly outside of playing the games. Doom is probably at the top, the album version is just incredible.
Honorable mentions go to the entire Zelda and Mario catalog, especially LttP and Super Mario World. They’re the nostalgic sounds of my childhood and stuck in my head often, I just don’t go out of my way to listen to them.
The only reason would be playing games online, old firmware gets locked out a couple weeks after an update releases.
But there’s also no real reason not to if you’re already running CFW. As long as Luma is reasonably up-to-date, a system update can’t break anything.
The honest answer is that we’re still trying to get The Agora running, and a backlog developed in the process. We are working on it, it’s just going to take some time to sort through the old votes. We’ve been focused on cleaning up the process so we don’t have this problem moving forward.
