GoingMenthol , to android in Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?

I want my app icons close to the bottom of the screen where my hands are and not at the top of the screen just because Apple demands it. Also I can have ad free apps like ReVanced

ono , to gaming in Best Open World games?

Keep in mind that there are different schools of thought on what makes a good open world game.

I love exploration and discovery without much guidance, so point-of-interest markers and repetitive copy/paste events (as found in Horizon and Witcher games) bore me. Responsive controls and good user interface are also important to me, so Red Dead Redemption 2 was a miserable experience that drove me away, despite the great environments and character building. Some people consider those games masterpieces, though, so I have to assume their priorities are different from mine.

Subnautica is an outstanding example of what appeals to me. Beautiful world, unconfined exploration, excellent soundtrack, a story told through discoveries rather than exposition, multiple ways to accomplish things, and a departure from the usual “kill everything” approach to success. Fair warning: it is a first-person game.

Skyrim shares some of these strengths and can work pretty well in third person with mods like True Directional Movement and TK Dodge RE. Be aware that modding Skyrim is a deep rabbit hole that can quickly become a full time job. One way to solve this is using the Wabbajack tool to semi-automatically install a well-tested mod collection.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks like it shares some of its design with Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom, which is encouraging. I haven’t played it yet.

DrYes OP ,

i subscribed to /c/netsec but it hasn’t taken off. just wondering if there were already active communities.

@Fog@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a commoner, so it’s Scon for me! As humans we tend to cut out words and letters due to laziness, or to put it positively, to save time 😂.

fross ,

Scon to rhyme with gone is how posh people say it - the Queen said it that way herself!

DoctorWheeze , to nostupidquestions in Why digital games are not cheaper than physical copies?

You don’t calculate the price of something by totalling up the cost to produce it and then adding a bit for profit - you calculate it based on what people are willing to pay. That doesn’t really change if it’s digital or physical. Some people might be willing to pay a bit more for a physical copy, but probably not many and you’d turn off more people by having the higher price.

bric ,

This. And a lot of people (myself included) are willing to pay more for the convenience and immediacy of digital. Sure, there’s always going to be people that consider themselves collectors that will keep physical going, but I think a lot of those people would be surprised at how small of a minority they are among the general populace that just wants to play a game

Lonnie123 ,

Im just a cheapskate r/patiengamer that prefers to buy used or on sale and sell the game after Ive completed it and have no intention of replaying it.

jackwebs , to asklemmy in Are there any women-centric communities?

Not seen any on Lemmy/Fediverse but you could check out ovarit.com

spaduf OP ,

Unfortunately front page is primarily made up of a transphobic/antiqueer sub right now.

Fuwo , to piracy in What are some good sites to download comics?

So far getcomics.org served me well, although I don’t have that much of an extensive comic library yet.

MariahWest OP ,

We have experimented with using a home media server through Plex. We got it to work, but we generally do not keep it running all the time.

Paperless NGX on a Raspberry 4. No more paper documents at home… Everything that still comes by mail is instantly scanned and shredded. Emails are also scanned and attachments are added automatically, if important.

giraffebiscuit , to futurama in Do you think younger generations will enjoy Futurama (both new/upcoming episodes and older content)?

There will always be shows where the references go over the viewers heads. Hell, I’ve had to Google so much from The Golden Girls that I didn’t understand. My 10 year old and 7 year old both love Futurama. The characters are timeless.

Hit the refresh button on your browser. I’ve been having the same issue and a refresh has solved it!

To be clear: put in your creds, let the spinny thing spin for a few seconds, THEN refresh your browser.
