Hi,
Here’s a great site to browse communities to sub to lemmyverse.net
FYI everything on Lemmy is relative to the instance you are on. For instance if there was a community on lemmy.world called ThisIsAnExample (lemmy.world/c/thisisanexample) then to you (on lemmy.zip) it would appear as lemmy.zip/c/thisisanexample@lemmy.world. Same goes for users.
You can see these icons on each post or comment…
The first one is a link to it on lemmy.zip. The second one is a link to the original post/comment on the users home instance.
Good luck!

Watch this video from the guy who started the Stop Killing Games movement. Then you can stop misrepresenting what they’re trying to do.

That doesn’t sound fair at all. I think for many games, considerations such as this potential law will demand would have to be included in the initial design and development. There are also the potential implications for licensing of middleware etc.
Again, you cannot be expected to comply with a law that doesn’t exist yet.
There may be a case for “live-service” games that it could apply as they could be considered to be under constant development. Most of those are either subscription or free to play though which would exclude them entirely as neither is a purchase of a perpetual license.

While it might not be easy for existing games…
I can’t see why they would try to include existing games. Laws are (almost?) never retroactive. How can you comply with a law if it doesn’t exist yet?

Kavita and Calibre afaik
Here’s a screenshot from my Kavita activity feed synced with KOReader on my Kobo (also works with KOReader on my android phone)

There are already many self hosted services that can do this without vibe coding.
Also, KOReader already syncs reading progress over OPDS without a plugin.

I’m about 20hrs in now and still early in the second zone. I’m a big fan of the combat (playing as a wizard). The world is beautiful, NPC design is great, scenery is gorgeous. I’m not sure about the story so far (not that it’s bad). The one definite downside so far is the performance. I had to use Optiscaler to force FSR4 upscaling (I have a RX9070) and FSR4 frame gen just to get over 100FPS.

I completely agree. I just thought it important to be accurate with these criticisms.
Good on ya for the edit :)

According to the article you linked it isn’t. They platformed him but it isn’t owned by him and he doesn’t work for them.

I finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (the remake) on Monday. It dragged a bit in the middle but the last few hours were excellent. Really looking forward to the 2nd Chapter whenever I get around to it.
I’m now a few hours into Avowed and so far I’m loving it. Too early to say much more. It was a real pain in the arse getting decent FPS though (had to mess around with Optiscaler). This is my first experience of one of those UE5 games.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I’m about 18hrs into Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake now. They’ve really done a phenomenal job with it. The recreation of the locations in 3D is spot on and the new battle system is a great improvement IMO. The English voiceover is excellent too.

I’m playing FH4 atm and I feel that! The combination of NPCs always talking, the UI being locked while they do and the fact you can’t lower the speech volume below 1/10 is pretty fucking annoying.
I think FH5 was a bit better in that regard but it’s been a while so I may be mis-remembering.

Aye, I learned this the hard way after about 30k hours in various MMOs (but mostly WoW).
I’m 3 years clean now though!

Perhaps I’m too cynical these days but what chance did they have with a name like Build A Rocket Boy?
Every time I see it I think is it “Build A Rocket, Boy” a la GoW or “Build A Rocket Boy” a la Astroboy… like WTF does it mean!!!
