- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 1 month ago:
Yeah, that’s the draw XDef has over CoD. It’s F2P and generally the content is earnable, outside of some cosmetics and additional currency. I think both “locked” factions can be bought through challenge completions, so not really P2W either, paying just unlocks it faster. And it’s not a bad shooter either imo, it’s just…the same as every other shooter. Very average.

Gotta get the game in front of the young eyes as much as possible to get that sweet miceotramsaction money from their parents
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
Thanks! I spent years in Diamond, and had a mini goal to get to Champ. Never really been one to practice mechanics, it was just sheer rotation and positioning. Like I can’t hit off the wall with any kind of consistency. Hit it in like…2019 and haven’t played much since, I actually played last night prior to this comment for the first time in probably a year.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
Only games I ever 100%ed were…Assassins Creed 1 and Rocket League, strictly by achievements only. Like I never made it past Champ in RL, and AC1 was really just beat game and collect flags. I never have the urge to 100% a game cause usually it’s just a grind for grinds sake and that isn’t fun to me

You’re telling me it’s “shifting” and not “slipping”???
All my hours watching Space Jam was a lie

I remember using Sync, but it didn’t really stick for me. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s like Relay but slightly worse?
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
Ooh Sync is another one I enjoyed! I swear I bought every large 3rd party app to try out fully. Google Pay Rewards, thank you. Lol
- Comment on Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’ 2 months ago:
Yeah I’m not entirely well-versed in the implications of what that would allow, but it’s another use-case that would be cool to see!
- Comment on Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’ 2 months ago:
That’s…actually a cool AF idea/inplementation of Fediverse shit. A practical use as well, as they’d control who was on the instance and would be a sorta pseudo-verification process for any accounts on it’s own.

I’m an Boost truther. I loved Boost for Reddit, and the dev is usually super responsive in the subreddit when it was a thing. I also used many Reddit apps; BaconReader, Relay, and Apollo on iPhone back when I had one. Boost was easy favorite.
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 2 months ago:
Sounds decent enough! I am not hardcore against ads; I know platforms and publications need to pay somehow. If they’re non-intrusive, I don’t mind seeing them. Thanks for the info!
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 2 months ago:
That’s kind of what I was worried about, was if it was algorithm based, and if it was, how bad is it pushing content vs showing me what I would be interested in. RSS feeds may be difficult cause I never really committed to any specific publications or sites, so I wouldn’t have any specific ones to populate the feed.
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 2 months ago:
Haven’t gotten to that point yet; I’ve followed/unfollowed a few just due to general spam or some pretty clear biases (whether I agree with them or not).
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 2 months ago:
Ty! Will have to look into it some! My problem is I don’t have any specific preferred news sites already so I guess I’ll be just spamming big ones til it gets sorted out a bit? I’d also like to keep it as balanced as possible, if not just to be prepared for potential points of conflict to be knowledgeable on.
- Comment on [Major_Trenton] Sony's Scam 2 months ago:
I never got the PS Pro controller but I’m well-versed in the Xbox Elite bullshit. The best way I’ve seen to go about it is to buy a Core Elite from Gamestop or a store that has their OWN in-house purchasable warranty (Target goes through All-State or something I think so you have to send it in). It’s $30 to Gamestop but I’m covered for a full-year for when the bumper inevitably goes. If, by some miracle, it doesn’t, I go anyway and exchange it for a new one at a local store for no controller cost, and pay Gamestop another $30 for the warranty. It’s cheaper than a new standard controller and I don’t have to deal with any additional warranty process. It’s just an exchange. It’s bullshit that it happens, but the game I play the most basically requires the back paddles.
I’ve never had stick drift on the Elites (or any controller otherwise), it’s just bumper problems. I’ve heard the SCUFS get drift pretty badly second-hand and their replacement process is much slower. The new Turtle Beach controller seems decent, but I have doubts about battery life and I’m not ready to buy-in on it yet. The PDP Victric with replacement modules feels very similar to the PS Pro issue where the modules just are never in stock so that’s out too.
Some enterprising business could make a killing with a decent controller, but apparently Xbox won’t license wireless controllers unless you do specific things with them, likely preventing any real pressure to get better.

How do people like Flipboard? I need to find something to get news now that I’m off Reddit. Is it pretty decent at giving different perspectives in articles or is it pretty much algorithm based on what you’ll prefer?
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass is getting MAJOR changes, with a new tier without day one games, and a range of price increases 3 months ago:
Nah. I’m staying at my current stage, paying for Live and then doing the extra $5 for Game Pass…shit tier? Idk what it’s called now. I don’t need to play CoD on day 1.
- Comment on The Trouble with Forking Mastodon 5 months ago:
This is my thought as well. The whole point of this system is that if you feel like you have better choices and ability, you are well within your rights to spin up your own instance and manage it, and make your own choices. Just follow the standards, and you should be able to integrate with existing platforms. They are free to defederate, but that’s their call to do so. It’s always been a tradeoff, and one of the big things with Reddit is that, even to a point now, it’s Reddit or nothing. With federated sites, leaving a platform isn’t starting completely over like it is leaving Reddit.
