he's pissed that Elon took his handle but not that pissed because he's still on the platform (cancelled his twitter blue, wowwww great protest), he still loves Elon, and calls X "Twitter" 😭 this is wild

My partner and I played through Divinity Original Sin 2 many times with co-op, and now we are playing through BG3 and we are having the time of our lives. It's really really good. It's like co-op in DoS2 but I'd say it's even better.

Just make sure you recruit someone and they recruit someone to your party (just like in DoS2) so you both get to control another character. But it's really easy to switch out party members if they are in your camp.

the experience on mastodon / micro blogging platforms is very different from lemmy which is more of a forum / link aggregator. I get that the fediverse can be tricky to understand but I think for the best user experience it might be better to have a microblogging account for all those instances, and a forum account for lemmy / kbin. I think there's features that some platforms have and others don't? and the interface is very different.

although kbin is different as it supports both, and hashtags.

I use obsidian and syncthing, although I use it for just myself; as long as you aren't editing the same document at once it should work. If there is a file conflict, nothing will be deleted, just the conflicted file with have the word "conflict" in the name. So you can do a text compare between the original and that file to see what needs to be merged.

Syncthing is self hosted, obsidian has desktop and android apps. You can exclude certain files or folders from being synced on a certain device with syncthing. Obsidian uses markdown so that might take some getting used to, but the plus side being all your notes will be text so you aren't locked in to using obsidian.

You can also use another markdown / text editor as well, maybe one that supports wiki links for obsidian compatibility but obsidian works with the markdown link format as well.

  1. downvotes can be disabled by admins of the instance for the entire instance, so it's optional and up to them. is there a karma system with lemmy (like showing how much total karma you have on your profile)? I know kbin has that

  2. user level instance blocking would be nice to have!

I hate when the steam deck fans are loud so I like playing 2D games like Vampire Survivors on it.

I have pihole as well and I find it doesn't block the promoted posts / reddit ads on mobile. But revanced fixes that.

I used to play a lot of games on miniclip wayyyy back when flash was a thing, but nitrome games were my favorite:

  • Final Ninja series (2 games I think?), 2D platformers where you could swing around and also shoot enemies with ninja stars. had a lot of levels to complete
  • Dirk Valentine, 2D platformer, similar to final ninja but with a different theme
  • Avalanche, a 2D game where you are a penguin trying to escape the avalanche by sliding and avoiding obstacles. I think this had a lot of levels too

Looks like nitrome has these flash games to download on their website, but they also converted / are converting them to html5 as well. I'm so glad these aren't lost!

Thankfully someone already made a similar one here /c/bestupdates, I used to read BORU before bed too

I'm really enjoying co-op games that I can play with friends. Like Phasmophobia, Necesse, Minecraft, Terraria, Back 4 Blood, Battlebit, PlateUp!

Alternate article link

He has 15 million subs on youtube (his last video to reach 1 million views was 4 months ago). He made an AI that cloned his voice (it's not 100% accurate) and makes an AI vtuber-like cartoon webcam of himself? It's very bad. Using the Return Youtube Dislike plugin, the video has 1.5k likes and 13k dislikes.

He says he has a waitlist of 500 influencer friends that want to try this AI of his, but he's not giving them access "until the cost of creating new videos drops to an economical level".

That I've only played 400 out of the 1600 games I own (in my defense I got a lot of these games from bundles) and I have 6800 hours total playtime.

a really simple ground meat and noodle casserole, my go to when I don't want to spend much effort cooking. Good for about 3-4 servings.

  • 2 packages of kraft dinner (or macaroni noodles). Boil these in a pot until they are done. Strain the water, add these to a large bowl.
  • 1 pound of ground meat (beef, chicken, or turkey all work). Season the meat as it cooks, I usually add salt, ground pepper, paprika, rosemary, a splash of vinegar or Worcestershire sauce. Cook this in a pan on low-medium heat with some oil until it's done. Then add to the bowl.
  • grated cheese (or you can make a cheese roux). Add to the bowl as well.
  • whatever else you'd like!
  • mix everything and serve

For vegetables, I have something quick like cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, or something frozen like peas or corn that's easy to heat up in the microwave.

Gnosia seems right up my alley, thank you!

I played Life is Strange as the episodes were coming out, the ending hit me worse than any game has. I believe I remember that segment, the cockroach and the jukebox? I love that game.

Thanks for reminding me to play it! it's been on my list forever, it looks so good.

The premise to Three Minutes to Eight is interesting, I'll check it out. Thank you!

That sounds amazing, I've added it to my list. Thank you!

I've never heard of this mod before, but you've sold me on it! Thank you, I can't wait to play it.

You unlocked a memory for me: I remember playing one of the games in the series, I think it was Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands because I think I played it on DS. I'll check out a playthrough of Sands of Time, thank you!

This looks very promising, I'll check it out!

I watched a playthrough of it 6+ years ago and I STILL think about the story/ending from time to time. it's so damn good

did no one learn from No Man's Sky at launch like??

A time loop roguelike deckbuilder... I enjoyed Slay the Spire a lot, I will add this one to my list, thank you!

This looks interesting! I'll add it to my list, until it either gets a patch on PC to fix the memory leak, or I come across a PS5.

I didn't know that! Thanks I'll have to keep that in mind.

I forgot about this one! I played it for an hour years ago, I need to find time to continue playing it.

I'll have a look at 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, thank you!

Years ago I played Undertale and Pony Island and I love them both so much. I have a soft spot for 4th wall breaking games.

They are both on Steam! Funnily enough I was debating on adding Evoland 2 to my post as it kind of counts but also doesn't. But the ending of that game hit me hard. Loved the story and how the graphics changed, a very unique game.

I'm bad at zombies but I play with friends that are much better than me and we have fun. I'm still learning how to get a good train of zombies going.

I guess this game is a time loop in the same way Hitman could be considered a time loop.

The time loop mechanic for combat looks very interesting, thank you.

I played Deathloop before and I loved it, I need a sequel asap.

Thank you for the list! I see a few interesting games on there that I will look into more.

I watched the anime years ago but have forgotten most of it other than the fact I liked it a lot! Thank you, I will rewatch it instead of playing the game.
