This is the most on-brand and least surprising post I’ve seen today.

Gorejelly , 10 months ago to gaming in Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president

I personally just don’t buy Squeenix software any longer. They’ve abandoned too many titles (mostly on mobile, but elsewhere too) and I just don’t feel good about giving them money. Last one I purchased was FF14 for the PC (which is one of the best MMOs I’ve played).

That’s just my take on things. If it happens to show up on Epic for free or Game Pass (unlikely on both, I know), then sure I’ll grab it to try.

Gorejelly , 10 months ago to RedditMigration in Finally got access to Tildes today... Seems unimpressive

Thank you for pointing that out. I just did not see it. At least two of the themes were dark/cool enough to not hurt my eyes, so I do appreciate that option.

Gorejelly , 10 months ago to RedditMigration in Finally got access to Tildes today... Seems unimpressive

I browsed around it for a good 20 minutes or so. My initial knee-jerk reaction is that I would not want to join a community with no ability to create or join specific areas that could be narrowed down to more specific topics. “Gaming” for example (and as someone else already mentioned), has to be video games, of all forms (retro, console, computer, homebrew, hacks - from all years) alongside board games, card games, browser games, children’s games, educational games, physical toys, etc. It’s a mess, to me at least. There aren’t even that many categories.

It is also very sterile-feeling. I appreciate a good old-fashioned text wall, but no options for background and text colors even? (Maybe that is an option if you are able to log into the site)

Gorejelly , 11 months ago to gaming in The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

Yea but that’s only because the game has lots of pretty, moving pictures. And the books have pretty covers.

I’m American, so I can’t even read. I noticed some symbols in the show that could be conceived as trying to impart words or ideas, and it just turned me right off.

You might be asking yourself: “If I can’t read, then how did I understand and respond to this topic?”, and I would then respond: “SHUT UP VOICES IN MY HEAD!”

Gorejelly , 11 months ago to RedditMigration in Be wary of spiteful Reddit users

Even if everything you have said in this post is 100% true (and in my opinion, it is not), then the good news is that both Lemmy and kbin (and really most federated spaces I've joined) have excellent blocking tools. Block freely, block safely, block often if these other posts are bothering you.

I quickly looked at your kbin account, and it seems like every post you've made so far has to do with social networks and apps and people being mean. I know it sucks that you've just lost a very large community, but trust me, just let it go and you will be happier.

I have no way to know if you'll do this, but just as an experiment: next time you see a post here that you think either comes from or belongs to The Old Place, block it immediately, and then open up Magazines (or channels if you're in Lemmy) and pick a topic that normally would not interest you at all. Birds, movies, books, architecture, science, stamps, etc. Browse that for a few minutes and try to involve yourself in one topic. Just one. Even if you know nothing about it, ask an insightful question. It doesn't really matter if you get any response at all or not.

Do that a handful of times every time you see something you do not like here. I'd be curious if it helps you (or anyone else that tries this) in any way. I have done this myself, and it has helped me, but that doesn't prove anything.

Gorejelly , 11 months ago to gaming in PlayStation Project Q leak offers a very rough look at the handheld in action

Why couldn't this device have been the one to have "360" in the name? It would have worked (for once!).

"Why do they call it the PieceShyt360? Because you throw it away and it boomerangs right back to you!"

Seriously, though, how am I going to catch the Joker with this thing?

For reals: looks like it has bad ergonomics, the software (just stock Android?) looked to be performing poorly in that one video, it will be super overpriced probably, and we don't know how locked down it will be. If it is cheap and we have play store services, it might be an ok emulation device?

Gorejelly , 11 months ago to RedditMigration in Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account?

No ragrets at all! Not even one letter! My biggest problem is trying to figure out how to manage all of the similarly named magazines and communities.

Gorejelly , 11 months ago to gaming in This is my original NX mockup concept I had back in 2015, I wonder if this can be revived for the Switch 2 (which I know is coming now), a removable second screen for handled mode. This isn't my only current idea, the other is a screen in the controllers.

You never know, NDont loves their extra screens, so you might be on to something.

On the other hand, this seems about as useful as the PS4 with a 4-Disc changer or adding a game card magazine clip that sticks out real far and will auto-change games as needed (very loud and slow).

That was just for the screen. The controls I will be nice and won’t even mention.

Gorejelly , 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Hide Reddit Search Results

This is a great tip.

Also, you can just copy “-reddit” (the parts in between the quotes) and append it to any search (with every search engine I tested) to have reddit results removed. You could just have it in a text file easily accessible or make a macro or an autohotkey to do it if you don’t want to copy and paste every time.

Gorejelly , 1 year ago to gaming in Xbox Game Pass: renowned studio confirms 6 surprise games

It might just be me, but I’d really like it if the posts were not just links but also included even the slightest bit of effort to them.

In case anyone else looks here, the company in question is Annapurna, and the six games are Cocoon, Flock, Bounty Star, Thirsty Suitors, To A T, and Ghost Bike.

The link has videos for all six games, as well as release dates and the other systems those games will be released on.
