  If you have big hands consider a tenor. I had a concert for a long while until I tried a tenor and it get much better for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I get that they created roguelite for games that are based on rng runs and has some sort of async progression and I think that has become a pretty practical genre to categorize a wide array of hands that share those traits. 

  But roguelike should be kept to games like nethack, pixel dungeon etc that share the basic concepts of rogue.

  I had a blast with populous and dungeon keeper. They’re not god given games with the best design ever but they’re good games with interesting quirks. The other two, not so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing phone has a pretty average repairability score, so I’d assume so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid Rock is the people version of an above ground pool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a wild assumption. Lenmy has a well documented API that wouldn’t pass on frontend-related things. 

  Making a client scrape the frontend seems like a lot of work for a worse result.

  Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study: No-alcohol and low-alcohol beers, and dry pubs, are on the rise⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like vegan meat substitutes. 

  Sure there are awesome vegan dishes and the substitutes taste worse than the real deal but it’s not wrong to want to interact with the culture you live in in a normalish manner.

  I’ll have a af beer with my vegan hotdog and enjoy myself even though they are just substitutes.

  I was building a massive pipe systems for fish food and poo In a huge fish tank after my last session of factorio.

  Me and my friends used to make games on hypercard all the time, it was a blast!

  I’m thinking the steam frame will open up pc gaming on arm completely and enable devices like this to go full power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you can. For us it worked because we focus on different parts and then meet up, discuss and give feedback or help.

  But you need to do it with someone you get along well with.

  Oops!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently started it with the caveat that I’m not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.

  If I did it myself I’d lose my job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would I buy this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been oogling necesse. Would’ve loved couch co-op with the kids. On a scale of 1 to terraria, how much do you enjoy it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But then we have the indie devs that constantly praise each other, include in-game references to their inspirations or blog about what blast they’re having while playing a competitors game.
