I was able to ditch Windows completely thanks to them, haven't had to dual boot for years. I remember back when I first tried linux there were only a handful of games that would run without hours of tinkering. Now compatibility is an afterthought; I just assume Steam games will work and I haven't had any issues yet.

Do you have a plan for recruiting new users? Lemmy already struggles there and it's one of the bigger platforms. If we move even further from the mainstream, I'm afraid we'd slowly wither away as people leave and aren't replaced.

Half of the content I see on here is about reddit, and they're also some of the most active posts. I feel like anyone looking for an alternative to reddit might take one look around and conclude we don't have much to offer besides bashing reddit.

There had been a daily reddit megathread showing up on my front page, and I thought that was a good middle ground.

I don't get what all the fuss is about. I told them I don't like Nazis and was approved within minutes. It was not a complicated process.

Yeah, that's a butt.

The Four Seasons Landscaping press conference is the funniest thing to ever happen in politics.

I'm using Jerboa on Android and Firefox on Linux and neither experience is all that great. Jerboa keeps putting my comments in random places, not refreshing, and doesn't have accurate comment counts.

Biggest issue with Firefox so far is that it likes to randomly refresh while I'm in the middle of browsing, so I'll go from a few pages down back to the top without warning.

Both have problems following links to other instances without bringing you to a login page. Adding new communities is obnoxious because you have to copy and paste them into your search bar. Both also seem slow and clunky to me.

It'd also be great if there was an easy way to block communities. I like using the All option so I discover new ones, but a lot show up in languages I can't read or are niche porn subs I'm not into.

It still very much feels like I'm a beta tester.

I've never had a fancy car, so it's the jank stuff I remember fondly on my old vehicles. Having to start the truck by jumping the solenoid with a pair of pliers, that time Reverse just didn't work for a month so I had to really think through my parking situations, when it insisted on starting in Drive no matter what so I had to keep a brick in front of the tire and then pull it out and jump in real fast.

Anybody can get in a functional vehicle and drive; I like having to learn and overcome the weird stuff. It's like taming a horse, it's a bonding experience.

Now that I'm an adult though, I am quite fond of heated seats.

I subscribed during a promotion for $2 and the only thing on the entire service I watched was Yellowjackets (and that's a Showtime series, so don't know why it was on there).

I don't understand why so many companies want their own streaming service when they don't have the content to carry one.

I cancelled months ago, but they never cut me off from the streaming or prime shipping. I've checked multiple times to make sure I'm not being charged, and so far so good.

Not at all an expert, but I'm doing fine with most games on Manjaro. Most things worked out of the box with Proton on Steam. I also liked Arch before I got old and lazy, and Manjaro seems to be a good way to get most of the benefits of Arch with lazier upkeep.

I remember back when Treyarch was considered the B team that got the side projects, but even then World at War was the only game in the series I ever really liked.

I had a good time playing the EA, I'll have to check out what they added for 1.0. It fills the niche of hack and slash that's better than Diablo 3+, but doesn't require an insane amount of work like PoE.

Edit: Full offline mode is awesome to have.

I'm probably only half joking. I love when people just do weird shit for the hell of it, it reminds me of the early internet. People doodling horrific Garfield content is weirdly wholesome and just makes me happy.

That's perfect, thanks!

How do you block instances yourself? I had anime bestiality porn popping up on "All" earlier, and would like to not have that as part of my normal browsing experience.

Not build a door or windows.

Metro 2033 Redux: I'm not usually big on first person shooters, but love horror games so I gave it a try. The atmosphere and mechanics combine to make it a really immersive and tense experience. I loved that they put a stealth option in a FPS. There's limited gas mask filters which pushes you to move faster, while at the same time the traps and lack of ammo make you want to slow down; which keeps up the tension even if there's nothing elsr happening at the moment. There's a good variety in the types of levels, so you're not just blasting your way through everything all the time.

Their approach to moral choices was also very well implemented; instead of giving you clunky and obvious dialogue options, they just watch how you play the game to determine which ending you get.

Look into The Mountain Goats; all their early stuff was recorded on a boombox cassette deck.

I did, but I cancelled before the next year so who knows what's going on. For a while I wondered if maybe there's few enough people canceling that it was cheaper just to let them keep the service rather than hire someone to code the thing to remove them.

Got addicted to Farmville. Should have known right then that it wasn't going to work.

I play usually with my spouse, and occasionally my brothers. With the former, we usually get pretty into ARPGs (PoE, Titan Quest, Van Helsing, older Diablo) or Don't Starve Together. With my siblings it's usually random stuff they suggest that's not too complicated so we can catch up while we play.

I used to do Overwatch, but the time commitment to stay good is just too much, and the games end up sucking more often than not. Haven't touched OW2. TF2 is still fun, and I've been doing a bit of Sea of Thieves solo but occasionally interacting with other crews. Basically anything that involves playing with strangers is usually not worth the effort for me.

Those are both pretty good. I just tried looking up another song by The Seatbelts and it was very strange. Do they exist just for Cowboy Bebop soundtrack stuff?
