Hey, just remembered the other part of my post about how to get duplicate posts out of the Uploads section on my profile in the name of server storage.

By the way, what makes an image turn .avif? Whether I upload .webp or .jpeg it turns to .avif when the upload finishes

Haven’t poked my head into !games@lemmy.world in awhile. Impressed to see you are still going!
- Comment on Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report 5 days ago:
I do notice that it takes more effort though. Before online platforms figured out the whole engagement outrage pattern, I spent a lot of time playing video games, yes, but also reading books or making art.
Then the online platforms started investing in trying to figure out how to engage you, and it is easier and easier to spend time online by default to the exclusion of other things and feel bad about it because your online time wasn’t spent on something that made you feel good like it did in the past. It is surprisingly hard to resist the current big platforms are trying to push us down.
People on the Threadiverse have taken at least a small step by disengaging from Reddit and going to an open-source, non-corporate-controlled engagement-maxing platform. But human negativity bias still makes it a lot easier to post outrage and comment outrage and get in fights. Hell, I am making this comment because of my own negativity bias and desire to expound on how much I hate what has been done to our attention spans! It’s a lot easier to complain than to analyze why I enjoy something. And I think the engagement bait outrage has ruined my brain a bit to still sort of seek that out and scroll (but better Lemmy than Reddit). I’ve been trying to get off but change is hard. Sometimes I relapse and click an article I know will have negativity and anger, like this article I clicked on.
I do really appreciate what you did by posting something to help instead of yet another “thing bad” even if I super agree with “thing bad”, and I’m being part of the “thing bad” pattern right now.
I do know of !takeyourtimeback@lemmy.world which might be able to help with the whole online engagement problem.

Been using Cattails: Wildwood Story, a !lifesimulation@lemmy.world, as my relax-after-work game. Started The Farmer Was Replaced to try to ease me into coding again.

Cattails: Wildwood Story (life sim, some mechanics will feel familiar for Stardew players but it’s not the same), the incremental game Birb, and the interactive fiction Shepherds of Haven demo.

friendly reminder you can ask at !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip (full disclosure, I mod it) for suggestions

A nice thing about Lemmy is that you can edit titles! You can change your title to say itch.io
(also shameless plug for !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip where this post would definitely fit in, I see posts asking for recommendations/suggestions all the time on other gaming lemmies)

I am so glad you liked my post :)
I am also a fan of the dual region thing, and the content.
I’m surprised they gave those moves to Pikachu, but I also should not be surprised. Series mascot. I am usually not a “oh it’s popular so it sucks” person, but the overexposure and favoritism of Pikachu in other Pokémon media sadly ruined some enjoyment of the otherwise cute critter for me ;-;

Still Pokémon Soul Silver. Thoughts originally here on !pokemon@sopuli.xyz.

Still play(test)ing my in-progress ROM hack of Pokémon Soul Silver.

Oh no, another game for the backlog. Maybe next weekend, I have stuff to do today.
Feeling extremely validated about my preference for windowed over fullscreen.
possible Undertale/Deltarune spoilers
> The robot teaches Niko to communicate with the player, telling Niko that the player is a god of the game’s world whose responsibility is to guide the “Messiah” Niko. Feels like some Deltarune theories about the player being the angel of the prophecy. I’ve always enjoyed this kind of metafictional thing, and the idea of the player as some kind of deity-adjacent to a lot of game characters—also a nice convenient power fantasy :P

Trying to mod/ROM hack !pokemon@sopuli.xyz Soul Silver, so that also necessitates playtesting that.

curious if you are on !crpg@lemmy.world

There are definitely lots of things in life that I personally fail to see any value for myself in; but that I respect specifically because I know it brings lots of other people happiness.

This is sort of how I felt about Pikuniku. The controls pissed me off into not gaming for an entire year.

I’m your reverse. Friends with some big Dragon Age fans, they wanted me to join, it worked for me too! The Dragon Age train crashed when I had to free up space on my PC for more important real life things sadly, but when I finish that I’d like to finish my playthrough and maybe replay with fight-skipping cheats, or hit up the rest of the series.

The not was absolutely intended as optional! I’m wondering if other people are seeing it as required judging by the count of responses talking about negative experiences I got…

While I did outgrow teenage edge, the fun of playing an evil character and Rooting for the Empire can be timeless, especially since it turns the typical formula of the protagonist being the good guy on its head. Have been meaning to play this, appreciate the rec.

time to shill !automationgames@lemmy.zip which I mod
I would usually not be so promotional except Lemmy needs to grow and blah blah

I thought The Sims started out as an architecture/interior design game and the social/life simulation stuff we all know it for came later.
I’ve seen it said in several places; this was the most credible-looking spot I could find on the first page of my search.
