Yea, the download size was getting too big (or they couldn’t be bothered QA-ing new gear with old content) so they started deleting old stuff.

Means if you start playing now you can’t play the story from the beginning which seems pretty terrible to me.

Could instances not basically do that here too though?

Does karma actually effect your account on reddit?

The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.

This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.

Thanks. I’ve been using liftoff too but have been finding it a little buggy at times.

Hoping Boost for Lemmy will launch soon

Which client are you using now?

I used to love MMOs (Eve Online and FFXIV) back when I had masses of free time and could get away with coming home from work and getting stuck into a game from 6pm until 12pm every night. The communities I got to join in with were great and it was really fun. Loved Dota 2 for years as well.

Now that I’ve got a kid though I have to play things that I can pick up and put down quickly and easily and that’s kind of pushed me into mostly playing single player games now. Currently playing FFXVI.

I think the big worry with AI and the arts is the threat of it putting legit artists out of business.

I think film is less likely to be effected, but certainly typical art and music could be effected pretty badly.

Have a look at a game called Banished. It’s a town builder that felt quite relaxing to play, but had a bit of a survivalist side to it as well.

Rimworld is probably slightly too combat focused, but it’s an amazing game and has definite building elements to it as well.

Pure city builder I’d probably go for skylines, though I don’t think it’s got the kind of trade and resource management that’s so important in Anno

I mean, at the moment I’ll just take most active. I believe in the idea of the fediverse giving us multiple communities for different vibes of talking about the same topics but for now I’ll just take having communities that are a bit more active

It’s worth comparing similar communities on different instances to make sure you find the most active group.

I went for a 5 year mortgage rather than a 2 year at my last renewal. With how much rates have increased by recently, I think this will have saved me about £15k by the end of the 5 years.

You should check out Foxhole. It’s a pretty similar type of game though not an fps. Is more of a top down shooter type thing

Hadn’t realised they stopped updating it :(

I remember playing the demo of it over and over again but I never saw the full game for sale anywhere so didn’t get to play properly. The monster merging thing was awesome and I remember the flutey music being awesome.

At the same time, in Pokemon Red I didn’t know where to go at all after the 3rd gym and when I did eventually find that cave I didn’t know flash was a thing, so that was painful.

I think I had a level 45 Venasaur by the 4th gym!

Ahh, so not really a threat to Lemmy then? Like they aren’t really trying to be the same thing…

I think the base website doesn’t explain it well. Like if you go to the main page I didn’t find it obvious at all how to actually start using Lemmy.

I think reddit changed a lot in the last 10 years. It went from lots of small unique communities where there was really good discussion to everywhere kind of just being an echo chamber where if you disagreed you were just down voted out of the discussion rather than being able to just talk about your different points of view.

What is threads?
