Pet peeve of the day: Games with "puzzles" that can only be solved by trying a bunch of different plausible answers.
If you know the right answer (but not that it is the right answer), and the reasoning behind the right answer, but you still can't tell that it's the right answer without engaging the games mechanic to check if it's the right answer, it's not a puzzle. It's just a game a brute forcing answers.
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:
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?
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.
A lot of people are boasting here like "well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma."
I'm not going to delete my account yet (but probably won't be posting anything on Reddit either). Instead, I came up with a Strange Hobby.
Because password managers are so ubiquitous and easy to use and everyone should use one, I somehow found a complete list of all Reddit throwaway accounts I had over the years. (You know, from back when you could create accounts in seconds and Reddit didn't make you sign a blood pact or whatever.)
So I've been deleting those accounts. There was a pile of them.
And I like to every time I delete an account, a little siren goes off in Reddit HQ and Spez is like "Aaaaagggh! Not another one!"
Reddit admins appear to be removing links to Lemmy instances posted in comments.I'm seeing quite a few "[Removed by Reddit]" comments in /r/RedditAlternatives this evening. Anybody else seeing their comments being manipulated by Reddit staff today?
@Chozo Huffman is really taking all the cues from his hero Musk. Halving the valuation, alienating loyal developers and a core set of users and stifling freedom of information on the internet.
"The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance." - why does this appear and how can I turn it off? I cannot log in to other servers to post
I get the point, but the prominence of it makes it look like an error. Frankly, I find it a bit anti federation, like the only reliable content is on-instance.
@ABCDE it's just telling you that having subscribed to a community on another instance after it was created there may be older posts that are not present on your instance and providing you a link to the same community on the home instance if you want to look at older/not yet federated content.
