- Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well? 22 hours ago:
Correct. It does not funnel all the conversation into the same post, which is probably most people’s preference.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 6 days ago:
I think the uphill battle here is that a good amount of the active users on lemmy are probably very tech savvy. The percentage of us who aren’t, are doing it wrong in their eyes.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 weeks ago:
I blocked a lot of news communities, because it was just consuming my feed, so I also missed when this happened.

Isn’t that kind of how I ended my whole comment?
- Comment on Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re forgetting the thing that is also stopping me from doing a lot of random ideas myself. It’s an extra thing to carry.
I often think “man it would be great to use my sp again”, but I can just emulate on delta on my iPhone. It’s the reason I don’t have the PlayDate and why I also don’t have a dumbphone connected to my iPhone even though I’ve thought about it as well. People want to reduce instead of adding more. It’s the reason it still drives me crazy I have 5 remotes for my TV. People just prefer to get a device that can do the most. Hell my parents in their older age are now to the point they don’t care about PCs anymore, they just have a tablet they can add a keyboard to if they want.
All this is not to say this shouldn’t exist. But if it does I really do hope they take full advantage of the setup and do try to innovate and make creative games that would only exist there.
- Comment on What do you think about centralised clients? 2 weeks ago:
Do we have a percentage of people who visit reddit on a computer vs phone? I assumed by now most of them used a phone, so those same people would keep using phone apps.
- Comment on Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console 2 weeks ago:
My initial reaction was “oh cool”, but I have a feeling most of the games would be something that can just be played on a tablet. I’ll keep an eye out, maybe it’ll be more versatile than the PlayDate.
- Comment on What do you think about centralised clients? 2 weeks ago:
I assumed most apps already do this? I believe the voyager app defaults to lemm.ee now because .world is large
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
I’ve mentioned a list with info of some nature a few times, with people shutting down the idea. It always boiled down to “the instances may lie about what their instance is about”. In their heads what their write may be the truth, even if it isn’t. This would leave it up to a third party to make summaries of these instances, which may or may not be agreed upon. There may be too many drastic and conflicting ideologies.

Image Are you saying they predicted this correctly?
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 months ago:
Megaman Legends Megaman Battle Network Jetforce Gemini
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 months ago:
Given that they remade Chain of Memories entirely, I am really surprised they never did it for 358/2.
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 3 months ago:
This is a very good example. I am going to steal this in the future.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 3 months ago:
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 4 months ago:
Some higher end brands come with shoe horns. I have a few now. I will say in all my years I have never broken or deformed one though, and I have some cheap ones from amazon too.
- Comment on DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns" 5 months ago:
Oh fun. I game series I used to work on is on the first page of the list.
- Comment on If simulation is possible, we could upgrade reality to 4D 5 months ago:
I’ve always been fascinated by 4D, but a question just came to mind. Would we gain anything by being able to perceive that extra dimension living only in a 3D world? Is there anything we are currently not seeing that may exist in our world? Would we just have x-ray vision?
- Comment on The Legend of Goose: The Honk Waker - Mod Release Showcase 5 months ago:
I’m not even sure what my reaction to this should be, but I commend the dedication put in.
- Comment on If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween 5 months ago:
There’s part of an episode in Orville about this very topic. I need to finish up that show.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 6 months ago:
I was hoping an article existed!
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 6 months ago:
Another one that comes to mind (that someone can correct me on). Was Uncharted the game that made the “no health bar, but redder screen as you are close to dying” popular?
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 6 months ago:
This was definitely the first time I also remember this appearing, and it made it more engaging for me as a child.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 6 months ago:
Oh wow, did Zelda really make this popular? I wouldn’t have guessed. I’ve play it a ton.

- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 6 months ago:
It would depend on the actual file formats. For example I can import a live after effects file into premiere and all the updates I make will apear on premiere’s timeline, without needing to render out. The same goes for bringing photoshop or illustrator files into After Effects. I guess we’d just have to rely more on third party plugins that connect these programs like Overlord
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 6 months ago:
Would adsense even be worth it without the search? I really don’t want that popping up in even more places. My thoughts would be
Google Search + ad sense Chrome Android Waze YouTube G Suite FitBit Nest
And then there’s a ton of other misc stuff I’m unaware of
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 6 months ago:
I worry what a broken up Adobe would do to workflows. One of the reasons I can do what I do is because Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere all work with each other.
Now if we want to save Behance and Frame.io, substance, Mixamo, etc, I am all for that.
- Comment on Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace? 6 months ago:
This has always been my experience as well. My first job was “just a job”. But I worked there for 6 yrs and made many friendships during that time. There were many “time to clock out people”, but at least half regularly hung out.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 6 months ago:
I mostly worry about future performance being undervolted too much, since I sometimes do heavy animation work.
- Comment on Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace? 6 months ago:
From the comments I gather that this mostly depends on the kind of work. I’d assume anywhere that is a “career” type place vs “just a job” will have different kinds of attitudes. At a “just a job” you want to just gfto when you clock out. I’ve mostly had jobs in relation to education or creative, and most of the people there just want to connect.
I’ve always had friends and good times with coworkers, many of whom I’m still in contact with to this day, hell, I’ve helped some of them move.
