  I am in the exact same position lol checking off some other games while it matures

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve stopped playing since Microsoft copilot was announced and I fully ditched windows, but I held on until the final raid because of the gun play, nostalgia, and the representation present in both the studio and the game. I grew up with the Marathon games, and the early Halo series. The DNA of those games is still there and I can’t help but love it. I’ve been chasing a single player experience that gets even close to Destiny’s feel for so long. The System Shock remake is getting close, but I would love a PvE only game from Bungie. For a long time (read pre-Sony-buyout) Bungie was also a sort of hold out for various minority representations I try to support. The studio’s media showed an employee base that is diverse and they often did a good job pushing back against players saying any sort of agenda was being pushed just for including diversity in the game. This made them a company I was much more willing to throw money at, compared to say, activision/blizzard. That sentiment as largely faded for me as the studio had been turned into a “for the shareholders” cow Sony can milk.

  I appreciate it!! I realize it’s a pretty niche request, made mostly selfishly, but it’s very fun for me!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is really random, but could you go back to omitting the title of the game from the title of the post? I’m possibly the only one, but guessing the game before looking at the post text has become a sort of daily game for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just recommended a video about this game earlier today. I had already opened this thread, but had not read everything yet. I’m taking it as a sign. Terrafirmacraft is one of my fav Minecraft modpacks, and Vintage Story looked to lean into what TFC was trying to do to Minecraft. Cheers for the recommendation!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing ... where are the users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, by my understanding this is by design. However, there’s nothing stopping you from running multiple instances for each user account on a computer, assuming you are running Linux and are using the Syncthing CLI. Probably can’t do that on windows though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your fav recipe manager?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’d also generally prefer to use my front matter for my global tagging and sorting so I can keep my templating consistent. I’m not explicitly opposed to adding more, but in an ideal world I’d keep my front matter pretty trim.

  I’ll do some experiments of my own with data view and such to see if I can get some good functionality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your fav recipe manager?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you elaborate on “move to obsidian”? I’m already storing some recipes in my vault, but I would be interested in further features like shopping list generation and other filtering options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game fits this?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I’m so captured by the setting and enough of the characters that I’m seeing the light and dark saga through to the end, but I largely agree with the sentiment towards the game at the moment. I’ll let the studios next release come out and really gauge my interest carefully. Bungie has set my personal style for gamefeel and almost every game I enjoy, I enjoy due to its moment to moment similarity to destiny. Robo Quest, Metal Rising: Hellsinger, Bullets Per Minute, to name a few PvE based games.

  That goes all the way back to playing halo on 2 original Xbox’s wired together in the attic of my friends barn at 3am, and even back to Marathon as a younger kid. On top of that, compared to pretty much every other major FPS title, the studio stands behind a lot of causes I align with. The representation in the game, and seeing myself and people like me present in destiny’s vision of the future un-ironically gives me a warm feeling.

  I was just talking with some friends that an extraction shooter with world events the complexity of destiny raids would actually be super cool. A fireteam activates a raid (like sea of thieves forts) and begins diving into it, but then other teams can follow them in as the original groups clears encounters and puzzles. Maybe the teams following them in have some smaller scale mechanics to do, then there’s a heavy fight back out with whatever loot. Could make for the gameplay loop gambit could have been. I think the studio has potential to do the PvEvP really well, but we shall see.

  Syncthing and KoReader. I also have a few android eink devices and this system works great for me. When I need a better interface for organizing/editing metadata of files I use calibre which also has some plugins to help free your files from proprietary epub readers.

  Shocked Donkstiny Destiny 2 didn’t get mentioned yet.

  I do (perhaps sadly) agree with you, just think there is some more nuance to it than that. See my reply to the other comment if you want to see my thoughts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair. I definitely did not acknowledge my own bias. There are numbers showing the growth of Linux in both gaming and general. The steam deck alone is showing many people, including hardware manufacturers, the power of linux. That is directly pushing and growing the portable gaming market, which takes market share away from Windows. This will continue to grow, and I believe negative sentiment towards the bloated experience the vast majority of users are getting with Windows is also growing. I have only anecdotal evidence as far as I have seen quite a few articles about various “features” in the last month, but again within posts from my slice of the internet. One such article was about system popups basically begging you to use Edge, another this change to the keyboard, and one about ads/sponsored links all over the OS.

  The “slowly” in parenthesis and “I feel” in my final line of my original post, did not acknowledge the slice of the internet I generally consume content from, which absolutely does have some collective bias against windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This might have been said, but I just see this as a wild attempt to stay relevant and lock people into hardware. Windows is (slowly) dying. Gamers are starting to leave for Linux and Proton, which will also only help the Mac gaming market share. Linux on ARM honesty seems like the future for most devices. The corporate world and anything that’s in too deep with Excel is, I feel, the last big hold out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which one do you trust the most for your privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At my time of adoption, Telegram had a better feature set and I wasn’t honestly super focused on the privacy minutia. Knowing what I know now…I guess Signal, but honestly I’d probably go even more niche if I was after something truly private. Like P2P messengers or something like that. I don’t really treat any messaging platform as fully private. If I really need something guaranteed to be private and I don’t want to try to convince a friend to install a new, even more obscure app, I’d probably just encrypt text files and generate keys for each other and send them via something, maybe email idk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m both an iOS and Android user for various reasons. There is a free KeePass front end for iOS, but I paid a one time lifetime license for one that was a little more feature rich. That and the only version of Syncthing for iOS requires a like $4 purchase to allow you to sync folders outside of its default location, which was a pretty necessary feature for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Same system here. I really like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I do keypassXC and Syncthing. It’s cross platform with only a couple bucks needed for lifetime access to all all necessary features depending on platform. Besides I use Syncthing for a bunch of other stuff as well, so it fits right into my flow. I’m considering moving to a command line tool simply called Pass, and still syncing with Syncthing, but I’ve yet to pull the trigger on that switch yet.
