Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I can conjecture some things, though I can't be 100% sure on either:

First, maybe it's fanatics/fanboys that don't like competition making their platform less relevant. Second, it's paid actors complaining. Third, it's robot accounts making posts. Fourth, as proposed in the OP, people are getting the wrong impression due to noisy and problematic bubbles. Fifth, people being scared of leaving their comfort zone. Sixth, a mix of either some or all the previous possibilities.

Post immediately downvoted after I posted - nevermind, I won't share here again. Thanks! in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Regarding the message in the title, much like the Reddit downvote mob, after a while, the ones here on the federated platforms seem to get tired of downvoting people that don't subside to their pressure. And tying back to the tip, while I struggle to think of a specific use case for that, I've seen other highly specific ideas before that, for their use cases, were quite good, so I imagine yours can be useful too, specially with the text body's tone, and thus I don't think it's worth stressing over people trying to cause a silence spiral on yet another social media.

FF6, T(ranslating)-Edition | Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 9 in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

The post title was a pun with the mod's original name, "T-Edition", and me insisting on playing the Japanese version despite still having difficulties with the language. But besides apparently increasing the main game's difficulty, the mod adds a ton of optional challenges, including one that, iirc, acts like FFV's mini dragon.

Playing Final Fantasy VI once more, now modded because I'd been curious about this mod for years.
Also, I know there's an English version of the mod, but why make it easier when it can be harder? e.e"

Regarding the mod itself, I get a feeling even normal enemies were made stronger, with how much I was getting "kicked in the spleen" (Paine: "...spleen?") during the tutorial boss. This will be fun.

Wasn't in the mood to play yesterday. But in exchange, was so much in the mood earlier today that I got to finish it twice (somehow), first with the secret character, and then with Marion, the girl in the screenshot. Great game, specially when you don't need to burn through the money ~~you were to buy dairy with~~, and glad I used a sturdier controller, else I'd be with a broken action button like with Celeste on the Switch. 😅

Snapdragon 8 Elite arrives with Linux support, potentially unlocking PC gaming on phones and tablets in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 42 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The more concerning part is the bootloader that keeps being made more and more cumbersome to unlock. Not as easy to install one's system of choice when you need to beg the device maker to allow access to the part of the system required for that. =/

I mean, slap a proper desktop system and plug some bluetooth devices like a controller or a keyboard and mouse, and you got a makeshift laptop / notebook / whatever-the-current-name-is.

This game is hectic

Taking a screenshot was a challenge on its own. =P
Also the first boss here on Gunbird 2 took me a few too many tries, and I'm fairly sure I picked the easier difficulty. (chuckles) I'm in danger

The fact you can't tell anyone to go f themselves online anymore without getting banned is absurd and sad in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Finesse doesn't mean bowing down to everyone. And indeed, expecting people to put their egos aside, at least quickly, is unrealistic, and even if the person takes in the points later on, chances of admitting are also low. But for example, if the person is clearly aggressive by his/her discourse, specially when including swear words, people tend to close down to whatever the first person is trying to say, or even respond proportionally aggressively.

There's a saying in my mother tongue that goes like "say what you want, hear what you don't". Even in situations where you need to have a more coarse tone, having some level of finesse to the words sent would help not just in not getting sanctioned, but also on getting past people's defenses more easily.

Barrel of Doom | Screenshot of what I'm playing, day 5 in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Doesn't help the wheel doesn't seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<

Also, I didn't get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn't find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

Just got through the stage. Overall fun, but I might have a few colorful words about that spinning wheel near the end. e.e"
Also luckily I managed to save the electric state til the end. Made the boss far easier.

Unrelated, but changed the title format because I thought the previous one was too visually polluted. Hopefully it looks better now.

Bad pun is still bad. =P

And Gunbird 2 seems to play a bit better than the first game.

For finding content creators on alternative services, maybe use Grayjay for Android? It aggregates multiple services into a single, mostly concise UI, and when you do a search, Grayjay can search all services at once. Also recently it added a recommended tab, which should help finding new channels on the go.

Loving how each new stage is an extension of the previous one.

Apparently, the mods at Linuxsucks are really sensitive? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Auster@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Whether it's a rage-click community, a community made for an agenda, or both, I don't know, but in either cases, I wouldn't see as surprising for the mods in such a community to be very trigger-happy. Best you can do, I think, is to block communities and individuals with such a profile, and to recommend others to not engaging (remember to explain why if you do it, btw).

Bad pun is bad. "<.<

ahem

Already finished the PS1 version (a.k.a. the original but emulated PC release) and the second PC version, but with the differences the two versions have, the overall lack in information on the game, and having had a good time in the previous playthroughs, I decided to play the versions I could reasonably get (so no arcade cabinets, thank you very much e.e") so I could get a good idea of what changes, and the next version I could find was one of the Gunbird 1 and 2 bundles for the PS2, specifically "Gunbird: Special Edition". It also serves as a break from Sonic, since I'd been playing too much of the franchise, and too much for anything is still too much.

Sonic Mega Collection Plus plays great, even more so as a commercial emulator. Kudos for Sega.

(Potential spoilers) Question about BlazBlue series' play order (lemm.ee)
 

Greetings, everyone!

I finished BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extended a few years back, but life happens and I couldn't play the rest of the series. Fast-forward to nowadays, and I decided to play the rest of the series, or, if anything, at least the main games. And reading on them, specially the one I played, since I remembered some quirks about it, I found a mention that apparently, part of its plotline is actually the plotline of Calamity Trigger, introduced in this edition. Is that correct? And if so, could I skip Calamity Trigger, or are there any benefits to playing it too?

Thanks in advance!

JYDGE getting removed at least temporarily from multiple platforms (www.jydge.com)
 

From the message in the linked page:

"We received a complaint about the game in its previous form, but we were able to resolve it amicably by agreeing to make a few changes. The game is now removed from sale from various platforms, but we are hoping to relaunch the game soon with a different name."

Please return November 5th, 2024 for more information. You may be surprised.

From what I could find, the game is/was available on:
