  Is there another game you’re waiting for? Or were you hoping for more specifics on Silksong?

  Do you have recommendations for fixing discoverability? I can browse by category on streaming apps, but that just shows the top ten or twenty titles. Beyond that it’s search by name or scroll alphabetically.

  My point is that I don’t search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I’m not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.

  In my view this isn’t a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s just something new users have to get used to.

  It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

  We can help on a very small scale by planting a variety of native plants and not using pesticide or herbicide. I don’t know much about the risks of fertilizer on a small scale, but it’s generally not needed for native plants anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I also want smaller phones. Even my “regular” sized phone doesn’t fit into running shorts phone pockets unless I remove the case, but even then it’s a tight fit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The latest pixel pro is available in both the regular size and the XL. In previous models the pro was only available as the XL.

  Any time a video is known by its title instead of a description, it’s better not to seek it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Swimming pool, blind dog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vinyl instead of boards also removes any particular spacing requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what I read was actually about oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I’m not sure if that changes your questions or not. I agree that the Skyrim character did feel like a genetic dragonborn. The guild quests especially made it feel that way. (I’m the head wizard, but also chief fighter dude and captain of the thieves guild… What?)

  I guess for the role play aspect I prefer games to more narrowly define the main character and tell the story from there rather than leave it up to me to decide who the character becomes. A Plague Tale is a great example of this type of story telling, but of course it isn’t at all comparable to an open world game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard it’s more action and less role playing than Skyrim, which sounds perfect for me. Does that match your experience?

  Reminder that Firefox on mobile also has ublock origin and other add ons that improve the experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like souls like games. I saw black myth wukong was specifically said to not be a souls like game, but guess what? It’s enough of the same combat elements that I still don’t like it. So now I avoid games that are souls like, but also games that people claim they’re not souls like.

  Black is the new beige.

  I kissed four so the universe is now back in balance and there’s nothing you can do about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 170,000 EV chargers in limbo as Enel X Way exits North America⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Open EVSE is the only open source charger I’ve heard about, but I haven’t used their products before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

  DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

  This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.
