I actually like the platforming in the game but the low gravity in Xen does make it annoying. Missed so many jumps, definitely abused quick save
“Forget about Freeman” the last thing you hear before shit gets real
Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!
I have no idea about the game and whether it actually contains gambling content or is just being auto flagged due to the title but this kind of crap is why I hate big tech and is why I hope we eventually have a future where decentralized services rule over big tech.
API debacle. Went from Apollo for Reddit to Voyager for Lemmy
I don’t know if it’s the best one (that’s probably Mario Kart 8 although I don’t care for it), but it’s the most fun for me.
The items and characters make for fun strategy in choosing a team a kart. It may not be super balanced but it’s fun and not as unbalanced as Mario Kart Wii imo. One of my bucket list items is to play a 8/16 player race on 8 GCNs using the LAN adapter
I don’t think the fediverse needs a fancy explanation that is non-boring. Either you care about federation and the decentralized control of the fediverse and it makes sense to you. Or you don’t care and those features then become roadblocks to getting on boarded.
The fediverse isn’t that complicated, if you really care about ownership and control and the portability of data when it comes to using a social network.
The fediverse is just complicated enough that it is a big enough barrier to keep people that don’t care about those things from getting on boarded usually. There isn’t really a good way to make those factors less complicated with out compromising them for the whole reason people currently prefer the fediverse.
However there are some other pain points that could be addressed that I think will make things simpler for those who aren’t privacy/tech/decentralization focused.
Starter packs for one. Allow instance hosts to maintain starter packs for people to follow if they choose during the onboarding process. A lot of people complain about having empty or inactive feeds. Starter packs solve that easily. Especially if there is a repo for communities to submit their own starter packs as well.
Better discoverability. I know some people don’t want search to improve but it’s pretty hard to find people through actual Mastodon search. I dont know if it’s just do to a lack of users and content or if that’s something that truly needs improving. But basically my follows are usually found off platform and then manually followed or I follow someone I discover via a hashtag.
Great just like games like Fortnite and Call of Dity Mobile have bots with real usernames and profiles to fill lobbies, now literally everyone online could be a bot with a fake profile.
I’m prepared to just be gaslit for the rest of my life from now on
I don’t think we are going to convince each other, I am glad that you find value in being able to sell skins that you don’t want on the marketplace for credit. That is why the system was designed, not for it to be abused by others for gambling.
I more-so have problems with how the system is rife for abuse, and I think that it should be up for debate whether valve should have to do anything about it.
I actually don’t think they should have too, I think more responsibility should be on the individual and responsibility on the parents for minors.
I do think that we should expect easier parental controls with more granular settings to be able to allow parents to protect their kids from risky trades rather than basically just enable or disable the entire social features.
You acquire items of arbitrary values for real life money by random chance and call the other guy stupid or dishonest for considering it gambling?
I like mastodon a lot. I have basically found my hashtags, people and news sources to follow and so my feed is always filled with content to read. Engagement is fairly good on my instance, at least with popular topics.
But I only have 20 followers in 18 months of being on it so if that kind of thing is important to you then it can be something of a negative. Harder to build an audience without an algorithmic recommendation feature feeding your posts to strangers. I find that to be a positive though.
I conquered Koholint island finally! I really enjoyed my time playing Link’s Awakening. I can’t believe they fit a whole Legend of Zelda game on Gameboy! I really enjoyed it
I ended up getting stuck trying to get the bird key. I could not figure out how to get the flying rooster. I tried bombing the weather cock, lifting the weather cock, pulling, using the hook shot, using the magic rod, digging every tile in mabe village, getting the boomerang, giving back the boomerang, tried every key item I could think of. I ended up beating level 8 before level 7. I even made this map of the entire game in google sheets to try to figure it out.
Tap for spoiler
Turns out you can just push the statue
Oh well, I don’t count it as time waste. If anything else it was a great excuse to keep playing. I’ve never played a 3D Zelda before so I am looking forward to OoT
As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best games of all-time.
I’ve been determined to finally beat Zelda II and determine that I would do it without save states and without a guide.
I know Zelda II is considered a black sheep somewhat but I really think in some ways it’s more fun than the original although I’d still pick Zelda 1 over II.
I definitely plan on playing Black Mesa on PC at some point. I played Half Life on PS2 this time. I wanted something a little closer to the original state the game released in but I don’t have a retro PC. But I’m ready to enjoy it more modernly
