Every time I hear about Project Zomboid, it looks like exactly the kind of game I’d want to play… but on a mechanics level only. I never really cared about zombie survival stuff, and the huge craze around the genre in the mid 00s to 10s only killed it to me.
I have the game somehow, probably from a bundle long ago.
Oh, you’re right, it is. Thanks. Never really noticed they implemented that in lemmy.
Technically my first lemmy user was a couple months before, I’d followed a big reddit exodus around the time they killed third party apps, but I migrated to another instance a bit after that.
Probably. I’ll just keep avoiding those I guess.
I don’t design web apps but I’ve heard from some that do that firefox occasionally has problems with them, because it relies a lot on caching (actually they used the term “aggressive caching”, with a few extra choice words).
Anyway, usually not a problem. I use edge only for work since it’s the default browser and I barely do any actual browsing with it, mostly light app clients. On my own devices, it’s been firefox only for years.
Few years ago I completed the pokedex on Gen 6/7, using transfers back from Gen 4-5. That was fun. Especially Black, the way they balanced content in BW felt very fresh IMO, and the sprite work is very nice in Gen 5.
I kinda fell off the series after USUM, didn’t care about Let’s Go, there was the “dexit” debacle, the whole “get used to not being able to get eveyone in one game from now on”. And then the absurdly bad performance/glitch reports in new episodes.
Pokopia is my only Pokémon-adjacent game since Ultra-Moon, and that’s mainly because I heard it was great and I liked Dragon Quest Builders 2. And, to be honest, it is a very cool game. I just finished the base game’s pokédex.
Still a good thing to keep documenting the many reasons why people shouldn’t use it in my book.
I was curious how you were supposed to configure the thing’s output… and of course it has to be a mobile app.
I’d prefer physical buttons I can check and change whenever like an actual old school power adapter.
Real problems like gen AI’s impact on the environment and the cost and accessibility of technology?
People have different hobbies. Maybe you have others, and that’s okay.
If you like it, playing games every day with a full time job should not be some kind of magic trick, and if it is, there might be something wrong with your job.
Oh, only a 50% performance hit on very pricy hardware for making automated lighting choices and complete face redesigns that don’t respect the designers’ and artists’ vision?
What a steal!
Twitter deserves the mockery. And this attempt too.
I’ve seen AI summaries that looked like the AI had not read the article.
Notice the ugly-ass monkey pic in the background? That user made one other post, and it was an ad for some presumably shit app with this icon. That’s all there is to this.
“I just watched movie. It sucked!”
“Beep boop. According to trustworthy, verifiable sources, movie does not suck. Sanction : immediate ban.”
Wow you were not kidding. Some of them are extra awkward and unnatural too, it’s almost a parody of what slop text looks like.
We believe people should have more control over what they see — and more transparency about the information in front of them.
An early illustration of the idea — you decide how much low-trust noise reaches your feed:
Hey, they scanned that place for a SteamVR home world. It might be another wall, bit I think if you try clipping through it there’s a Portal turret that will sound an alarm on the other side.
It used the be, first page has what you’re looking for, and any result beyond second page is probably irrelevant.
Today it’s : the first two pages are the same mass produced slop copying from itself on dozens of shady domains and blatant ads… and maybe the third page has one relevant result from a real source. Maybe.
This year, and the previous one. And the previous one.

And probably even more ads sent directly to your eyeballs. If they’re not there yet they’re already on the roadmap.
The game I played that I feel needed them the most was F-Zero GX. So, obviously it’s still racing, but they’re not used for throttle or brake, they make you slide laterally.
