Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur's Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We've played a lot, and some games we've finished or tried recently included:

• Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
• Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
• Raft, 7 Days to Die
• A Way Out, It Takes Two

I'm posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I've Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what's there is games we've already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I'm going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

Hello everyone! Things have slowed down quite a bit over on Gift of Gaming, so I thought I would post about it on here to get some more eyes on it. We are a community dedicated to hosting Video Game giveaways! You can come join for a chance to win some games, or if you're feeling generous you could always host a giveaway too!

Right now I am personally doing a giveaway for Doom Eternal, and I hope that by giving away a bit more of a substantial release I can bring in some new people to the community. A lot of our previous giveaways had no one enter, so we had to close them and keep the unredeemed keys.

If hosting or winning giveaways for video games sounds interesting to you, we'd love to have you join in. Many more giveaways are planed for the future. I have 300 keys that I have been holding onto from Humble Bundles over the years, so there just might be a game in there you might want. Thanks for listening!!

Back in May of 2022, I was bored so I decided to boot up Brickadia and create some pixel art of the map of Pallet Town. It took me a few minutes to find the map of the town online, load it up in a pixel art software, and recreate the color pallet (pun intended) in Brickadia. Over the next hour I proceeded to place each of the blocks down to perfectly match the pixel art in the original games. After finishing that I was thinking about how it would be neat to make the pixel art 3D.

I spent the next four hours systematically making 3D voxel models in Brickadia of all of the objects in the town, filling out the town as I went. I had finished everything except the patch of tall grass and Professor Oak's Lab before having to close the game to go to work. I would then forget about the entire project until today, July 28th 2023, when I accidentally stumbled across the files on my PC.

I spent only another few hours making Oak's Lab and the tall grass models, placing them in the scene and finishing the town. I can't believe I forgot about the project!! It was a lot of fun and really not too bad for only taking about six hours or so. The hardest part was definitely the water area, because I had to decide how to make the 2D texture of the rock 3D while maintaining the pattern on all sides to keep it looking seamless. I think the finished version looks pretty acceptable, but there where some ugly versions in there at one point.

That's about it. Thanks for listening to my story about my fun little day project.

I'm just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram).

What are they after? Are they going to try and infiltrate it so they can get people's data and content? Are they trying to monetize it? It just doesn't add up. I feel like most people on the Fediverse already would agree that we don't want Meta's platforms to access our content.

Please excuse my ignorance if it doesn't work like I think it does. I'm relatively new to the Fediverse myself.

Long love, long live, Lemmy!!!!
