- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 18 hours ago:
Stardew Valley is a good one, but I definately wouldn’t consider Terraria casual or low-stress.

IMO, Five is easier to learn and more straight-forward, while Six feels more convoluted, but Six gains some depth and variety from that if you put in the time to learn it.
- Comment on Am I the only one who things the community is being to hard on the Rabbit R1? 1 month ago:
At least the stuff I’ve seen is more a criticism of the lack of functionality for the Rabbit, esspecially unique functionality or areas where it excels. The fact that it is basically all able to be contained in one app is viewed as evidence of the relative simplicity, and the fact that (as reviews highlighted) a phone provides a better interaction method compared to the dedicated devices just highlights how unnecessary the hardware is.

Yep. I think it came out yesterday.

- Comment on Legend of Zelda 2 months ago:
Honestly, I think the original. I know its inferior to most of the other games in most ways, but I’ve found a lot of the modern Zelda games feel pretty shallow and formulaec. Not to say they’re bad, but none of them really feel like they stand out to me either - they’re just good games. The original on the other hand, feels very different from a lot of the games since then. The world is kept a lot more foreign and hostile both in terms of aggressive enemies and in terms of tutorialization. Its makes the exploration so much more rewarding, and when you do find a new item, that much more special.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 2 months ago:
I saw this posted a couple days ago which pretty succinctly summarizes the current state of the market.
That said, worth noting that these launchers and complex storefronts aren’t really needed either, which is part of why I don’t have an issue with Steam. If you have a good game, you can just sell it on your own website like Minecraft, League of Legends, or Tarkov. Steam’s biggest (or at least most universal) utility for developers is just that it provides very cheap, very effective marketing.

Annoyingly, my cat has zero interest in spiders. Any other bug from silverfish to houseflys, she loves to hunt, but not spiders.
Guess what the one bug I’m afraid of is.
- Comment on Sons of the Forest 1.0 - Exclusive Trailer 4 months ago:
I’ve intentionally held off on spoilers so far, but Im really hoping once finished, Sons of the Forest will be a nice step up from The Forest. The original was so great in so many ways, but also had so many massive incongruities - esspecially with the content so focused around violence and the enviroment that had absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
- Comment on Recommendations for Pirate Games? 4 months ago:
Its not quite a pirate game, but if you’re willing to expand your seach to include a nautical mystery game aboard a trading ship in 1807, than Return of the Obra Dinn is worth a look.
- Comment on How does a SO feel different from a very good friend? 5 months ago:
Obviously relationships are messy and complicated and varied, but generally the big difference is a commitment to a future together. For example, committed partners might pool finances, or have a kid together - the sort of things that you plan on working together on the rest of your life.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 5 months ago:
Or Pheonix Point, where Epic bought an kickstarter game that was funded under the promise of releasing on Steam, GOG and potentially other stores and promptly made it exclusive - and this was in the early days when their launcher/store was in a much worse state too.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 5 months ago:
I’m asking because I’ve personally found it far more hostile than Reddit (the only other platform I’ve put much time into). What I’ve mostly seen is that people downvote quickly and tend towards eliteism relative to Reddit. That said, I recognize that this could be just by instance or community, so I’m curious how others have found it.

- Comment on YouTube Video Recommendations Lead to More Extremist Content for Right-Leaning Users, Researchers Suggest 6 months ago:
Edit 2: I loaded it in an incognito window and it just says “youtube watch history is off” with no recommendations. I really think it’s you man
Might be something to do with Chrome or that. I’m on Firefox and get a filled out home page when first loading youtube (no history or cookies, mid levels of fingerprint blocking). After logging in, I get the notification for disabled watch history, but not before.

Yep. Every time I open YouTube, before signing in, the much of the front page is just far-right conspiracies, blatant misinformation, and other sketchy content.
- Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer 6 months ago:
I’ll treat it the same as every other, if after a couple weeks once the hype has worn down the game actually fulfills the general schtick and seems to have learned and integrated its NMS lessons, then I’ll consider getting it.
I got NMS for ten bucks at the NEXT update and feel like I’ve gotten far more than my money’s worth. This title hasn’t proven anything yet, and I’ll wait for the truth before purchasing it like I do with every other game. It’s been this way since like 2013 when the industry started pumping out incomplete live service nonsense with seasons and battle passes.
Thats exactly my point. We don’t know any of that, and by just assuming that its going to be a great game and exactly whats promised from a studio that had previously lied frequently leading up to its last release. Thats why you don’t feed into another ridiculous hype train, and don’t pre-order or make day-one purchases. If they’ve actually learned their lesson and reformed, make them prove it before buying the game. I’m not saying don’t buy the game, I’m saying don’t buy in to the hype.
- Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer 6 months ago:
The same people are at the helm, and they’ve managaed to make a massive profit by making up a bunch of stuff, releasing a broken, unfinished game and fixing it over the course of nearly a decade. What’s to say they’re going to do differently this time. If anything, they’re more likely to get a pass releasing an broken game now since it will probably eventually be what was promised at launch.

You’d think they’d be trying to make a good impression for their rollout of games for Netflix.
- Comment on Are there any notable content creators that focus on content other than niche tech and US political on Mastodon? 7 months ago:
Maybe I’m on the wrong instance or something. I already follow most of those hashtags, but only tend to get like one post a day per hashtag. I also found most of the content was spam and low quality posts, which was part of why I was trying to find people to follow; I was hoping to find sources for more consistently good content.
- Comment on Are there any notable content creators that focus on content other than niche tech and US political on Mastodon? 7 months ago:
I’m personally more intro the more popular geeky hobbies, likes video games, Warhammer, History, and building computers, but like I said, I’m open to other quality content as long as it isn’t too niche.

I’ve followed a few, but basically everything I’d be even remotely interested in seem to be near-dead (at least in English).

- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 7 months ago:
Not even just that. They approached games that has already promised not to be exclusives, including kickstarter games, that had already been funded with that promise, as well as buying games and removing them from other stores.
If Epic was paying third parties to develop games that would be exclusive to their platform, I wouldn’t like it, but fair enough. Instead, they were paying to have the games removed from better stores so they wouldn’t have to compete. That is an example of anti-competitive practices, not just making a better product and charging more for it.
- Comment on "The Next Subnautica" aims to deliver underwater survival spooks in early 2025 7 months ago:
That feels awfully soon. I hope they can actually create enough new content for this, as Below Zero felt far too similar to the first. It felt more like a new game plus rather than a full-price sequal.
