- Comment on Witcher 1&2 are probably worth playing 8 hours ago:
Before I played any of the witchers, I thought I’d REALLY like them, as the concepts and theme are right up my alley. But ultimately, I came away from the series with… it’s just alright.
The first game I bounced off many times due to how slow the start is, and it didn’t help that I installed a combat overhaul mod which makes the game WAY too hard. Once I got into the city or chapter 2, I started to enjoy it, but ultimately gave up on it in the second city due to the combat (moral here, play with vanilla combat! Probably would’ve had more fun). The story was alright, but didn’t grip me too much.
Witcher 2 I managed to beat. The combat was fairly decent, and I thought the story and pace were a good improvement, with a beginning that was interesting in its own right. I was quite impressed with how much your choices could change things, and really got into the dice poker. I don’t have too much bad to say about it, other than being disappointed that so many of the choices didn’t matter in the 3rd game.
3rd game I bounced off similar to the first. I completely cleared out the first area, which left a bad taste in my mouth. I felt the game had unfortunately inherited that sorta directionless feeling so many open world games have, and found a lot of the side content to feel like filler, while the main story was utterly failing to grab me, and I bailed only a few hours in with the baron that has a problem with the baby. I utterly hated that POS but was forced to help him to continue the story, only for him to give a breadcrumb at the end, sending me onto the next breadcrumb. Progress in the main story just wasn’t feeling meaningful, and ultimately I just didn’t care about any of the characters, and gave up to play something else.
I may have enjoyed the 3rd had I given it more time, and I may have gotten further in the 1st had I not nodded it, but with the 2nd game just being ‘good’ but not blowing my socks off, I figured I’d experienced enough to not really have much desire to go back to it.

Solidarity with authoritarians has a long and sordid history of betrayal and being lined up against walls in the end. Anarchists have had to learn that lesson in the most brutal of ways.

It’s not compatible with apps yet, unfortunately.

There’s a difference between being a socialist, and blindly defending authoritarian regimes that claim they are socialist. Those instances earned their reputation for a reason.

You’ll miss out on the Beehaw community on Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, since Beehaw defederated from them
Lemmy.cafe is a nice general purpose instance that only defederates from the most extreme instances, while still giving access to Beehaw and all other instances. It’s still small too, so it’d more effectively spread the load compared to creating an account on sh.itjust.works, which already has a pretty huge user count.

Enshittification is specifically how something inevitably gets worse and more anti-consumer due to pressures from capitalism/shareholders/profit incentive.
Rot, at least in my mind, is not that specific. It could mean the codebase is not well maintained and slowly failing, as an example.

English translation for others:
Title: The success story of guerrilla photovoltaics as a solar punk narrative
Post Body: In recent years, photovoltaics have become widespread in Germany in a decentralized manner. The solar punk vision of a self-sufficient, more climate-friendly energy supply is getting a little closer. This is also a success story of social transformation, advanced by Do It Yourself and disobedience (both central characteristics of punk), through serious global crises, social role models and positive social contagion effects.

- Comment on Make it Yourself: 1000 Useful Things to Make - A free book by NODE that houses an extremely wide range of everyday things, along with guides on how to make them and what skills are required 2 weeks ago:
In a way, or at least in spirit, it’s similar to the Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools, which is something NODE has mentioned enjoying before. So I suppose it is more of a catalog. It is unfortunate it’s reliant on having an internet connection to be used, but still, quite an impressive collection.
