I noticed on the https://joinmastodon.org/servers that we aren't in any categories. There's #Hobby, #Gaming or #Technology categories where the other anime/manga focused servers are on (anime.kona.moe, urusai.social, ani.work). :blobfoxbongo:
Hey there fellow mastodoner
when posting to lemmy, your 1st sentence will be the title of the post
any text on the 2nd and next sentences will be part of the body
so I'd suggest placing the @ (tag/mention) after the 1st sentence
How many people have been playing Weird West? Playing through it right now and I've got to say; this game has so much modding potential. The additional plus of it being a easily modified inmsersive sim adds so much replay value like Doom and gameplay WADs
Wanted to talk about some of my favourite indie games that really inspired or impacted me through my years of gaming (still do), and I never see ppl talk about -
🧵1/?
Dominique Pamplemousse - It's all Over When The Fat Lady Sings
Off-beat comedy, handmade, unique art-style, society commentary, musical, gender exploration - I backed Squinky on IndieGoGo when this first was announced and I still love and replay this regularly.
It's the kind of unique view and creativity I desperately want to see more of, and love experiencing. One day I'd too hope to leave the world with something like this
There's also a sequel and another exploratory game by Squinky that's worth playing too, and only 1$ https://squinky.itch.io/
It is such a fun game! It really does remind me of the oldschool wrestling games. They do a great job with making the wrestlers feel unique and exactly like they act on TV (Orange Cassidy, for example, can fight a whole match worth his hands in his pockets). There are a bunch of fun Easter eggs that I won’t spoil for you.
It is noticeable, though, that they didn’t have the resources to devote to the create a character feature. However, this is something that would naturally be updated as time goes by.
Tag team matches are a bit fiddly because you can’t tell your partner to come tag (as far as I know), and sometimes you’ll go to tag him but he’ll come into the ring instead. But the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, so these are minor issues.
All of the mini games are a blast except for one (in my opinion) and they just add a bit of a distraction that spices things up. If you don’t like them, you don’t need to play them, there is no forcing the player one way or the other.
Don’t mind me, just out here buying Home Depot buckets full of #NES games.
Update: Here's the full list of what I got. I paid $200 for the lot, and in my stupidity I originally priced it out at $2 a game (instead of the actual $4). But still not an awful deal?
Considering the new European legislation, which forces interoperability between social networks and some speculate that's why Threads uses ActivityPub, wouldn't that force the European Fediverse to interact with Meta?
The DMA’s threshold is very high: companies will only be hit by the rules if they have an annual turnover of €7.5 billion within the EU or a worldwide market valuation of €75 billion. Gatekeepers must also have at least 45 million monthly individual end-users and 100,000 business users.
So instances will not be required to federate because they will not be making the thresholds. This could explain why Meta is going to use the ActivityPub protocol though, and is an interesting perspective on the issue.
Probably my favorite feature this console generation are the reduced loading times. It still blows my mind every time I start a game. Almost like in the good old times.
There is nothing more annoying than long loading times.
Same it true the other way. Federation only only works with text and images are pulled from the original instances and there seems to be an issue with that.
@Quills its basically just chatrooms with synchronized video watching. I hate picking what to watch and i like to joke with other people about what we are watching. they also vote somehow but i haven't penetrated that far.
