Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.
I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 1 week ago:
Its not astroturfing, it’s that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let’s you access the web.
Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans
And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅
Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I’m using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅

Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh… That was hot garbage…
Dont watch the tweet if you don’t want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they’re scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles
Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch

I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There’s an artist on peertube who posts his music I’ll see if I can check what instance he’s on…

Huh… Yeah that is odd, “or” probably would have been more helpful 😅
Or two separate lists, since controller being preferred probably does generally come with controller support
- Comment on 3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers? 2 weeks ago:
I was gonna reccomend splatoon 3 but its a switch game that’s primarily online multiplayer matches, and while you can absolutely play it with sticks only it REALLY shines brightest with motion controls (yes, really. Motion control for fps aiming is amazing), but lots of people do play with purely analog sticks for aim.
Probably not quite what you’re looking for, but it does have a single player story and a really cool looking rougelite/roguelike mode, though I haven’t played the latter. And then it also has an online cooperative mode.
Splatoon is a really unique movement shooter where shooting or attacking leaves colorful ink on the ground, which you can then swim in for mobility, health regen, and refilling your ink tank (your ammo). The enemy (in single or multiplayer) leaves their own ink color that slows you down, stops you from swimming, and slowly damages you when you’re standing in it.
The result is a really interesting, fast paced fps about controlling space effectively and out maneuvering your opponent with a wide variety of weapons all with their own playstyles- the unique weapons are a huge highlight of the game

Yeah thats very fair. My impression is that Draynos hacks are usually not brutal, but there’s no version that doesn’t patch difficulty so if you like the challenges you either play with higher difficulty or you pick a different patch
I want more vanilla+, so I’m usually a tad bummed about that, but people regard his hacks really highly, even if theyre less what I’m looking for :)
I hope you find the right one for you! ☺️
- Comment on Question: why mastodon hastag timeline shows posts from lemmy community of same name? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for making this thread, I didn’t really realize it worked this way either!
When I’ve posted to lemmy from mastodon, you “@” the community, treating it like a user rather than a hashtag. The underlying guts of the fediverse are fascinating and confusing lol

Hey, I was researching my options for gen 5 and found this very helpful thread (though I don’t know that it’s entirely complete):
and this option from the thread, which is compatible with following platinum if you wanted quality of life, plus your pokemon following you :)
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/platinumqol-now-compatible-with-following-platinum.465574/
I think I was mistaken that renegade is compatible with following platinum, here’s it’s page if you’re interested in something that makes more changes and adjusts the difficulty curve :)

Honestly I largely did too, I pick my favorite designs from each gen and make a team with them, but it worked out okay! I considered chimecho but I really just love chingling and it’s way too weak to battle with. I also considered using trash wormadan,;steel and bug are my favorite types, but it’s not that compelling of a design, and it’s not very good 😅. I’d love to include it on a team someday though

The fact that you get locked into combat as soon as you step into the room with her (unlike all the elite four) nearly completely fucked me over, but fortunately I was able to stall and item spam all my Pokémon back to full health 😅
I tend to really like building teams that can beat stuff a lot stronger than me, so curse on spirit tomb, toxic on toxicroak, and gastrodon and bastiodon to wall did a lot of work 😅 I think I used curse to beat like three of her strongest Pokémon lol. Its such a dumb move, I love it so much.
It was definitely hard though, and item spam is kind of a cheesy way to beat stuff

I think you made a typo of “pay” instead of “play”. Either that or I’m mistaken about what kinda game factorio is…

Regardless of whether it has original content (of course it does, its userbase is massive 😅) it does still absolutely have a bot problem, and reddit has way more resources to throw at the issue than we do. This is pretty much all community built and run with donations.

I’d just make a new gmail, proton mail, or tutanota address you can provide with no other connection to other stuff 🤷🏻
The threadiverse really does have to be more guarded against spam and bad actors. The servers here are largely run by volunteers, and community projects with no full time sysadmins, fewer devs and moderators, and less fancy protections are a very appealing target for trolls and bad actors. If I remember right lemmy was actually hacked sometime early in my time using it and I think instances running a certain version went offline for a while while they tried to fix the vulnerability. And there’s a well known bad actor who periodically shows up in a thread with like 50 accounts and makes hundreds and hundreds of comments drowning everything out with angry gibberish
Federation combined with an anonymous platform modeled after reddit makes it in some ways a lot harder to ban people. So all his accounts get banned and he just comes back.
This is all managed by volunteers being paid donations and occasionally sponsor money. Thats part of what allows it to be independent and resilient to enshitification (combined with federation, and being self hostable, and free license open source software) but it also means we don’t have the same luxury of resources that reddit does.

This is my first time with most of these games, so I’m tending to pick stuff thats very vanilla+ or just focused on quality of life
I’m not sure if I’ve maybe played one of his hacks so far, but I wish he had patches that didn’t make the difficulty changes and stuff if I don’t want them.
I still need to sit down and investigate what if any ROM hacks I might wanna pick for gen 5. Plus I need to go double check which games I was gonna play, I think I was planning black and white 2, but have to go look stuff up and ask my friend who’s a huge Pokémon nerd her thoughts
(I nearly broke my run with a cheat to give myself max TMs at the end cause I think the game is better when you can play with designing your team- the cheat overwrote all of my HMs without me realizing, and I deleted waterfall off my Pokémon who knew it. Off the top of her head she was just like “oh seaking learns it by level up at 40 if that helps”, I was so glad I mentioned to her I might have fucked myself over completely on a whim while texting lol. So I have a seaking names escalator now 😌)

I really like really like the names Macarona and V
That sounds like a blast! I’m not a particularly knowledgeable player, this was my first platinum playthrough
I had fun using curse and stalling my way through the elite four though lol. Except the fire guy, garchomp with earthquake one-shot all of his Pokémon which was kinda funny 😅

The clear blue layer around his orange body kinda reminded me of a marble :3 I struggled with what to name him for a while lol 😅

The ROM hack I’m playing is just following platinum. I don’t remember what quality of life changes there are, but it adds your Pokémon waking behind you like in HG SS
This is my first play through, so I wanted something focused on quality of life stuff, or that could be described as vanilla+
pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/
(Having looked at the link now I don’t think it adds any quality of life stuff, and I just REALLY wanted my Pokémon to follow me. I think renegade might have a version based on following platinum though? It makes more changes like difficulty though)

That’s sick as fuck, thanks for the link!
I’ll have to figure out what exactly that enables and how to set it up but it looks neat!

Sorry for the crappy offset picture lol, I was just grabbing a pic for myself to remember my team by while watching, I hadn’t intended to post it anywhere
I probably should have at least cropped it lol 😅
