Yeah, and we shouldn’t push too hard before the devs make the experience easy enough. But the worst that I see coming from it is a slower adoption rate.

I’d guess there is a balance to be struck.

It’s always worth pushing for the fediverse.

I’d say the fediverse is somewhat protected against the drawbacks of growth in a way Reddit isn’t.

wait, really? TIL, I guess

No global karma system and therefore no karma farming.

That’s one of fediverse’s most underused selling points. Karma farming is impossible here.

In a country where higher education is a debt trap, that kinda makes sense.

Call me a fool, but I like this more than gold.

Bismuth rocks.

Wouldn’t that just make them… PCs?

I forgot to finish my argument earlier - that computers being convenient for gaming is why PC gaming will never fully die. But consoles can still have their hard-core gaming niche by specializing for high perfomance/price ratio and making it easier for devs to make games for them (not even exclusives, just regular ports).

Also, bring back a true physical media option or something. If I’m going to have to download a game/patch, I might as well use a PC.

The thing about “PC gaming” is that I already use a PC (laptop) daily, so it makes sense to also use it to play games rather than buy a separate device, especially if I mostly play cheap indie games with low spec requirements.

But if we can get the Alex Jones crowd on our side, that might include the Epstein administration :P

Get a better decibel meter, then?

Yea, Court. Whoops. Thanks for the link!

Noted. Wishlisting Titanium Quest for when I carve out some time

I’ve been playing my favourite kind of cozy point-and-click adventure on PC… Doom Eternal. (The demons are the puzzle and you point and click until it is done.) (Doom 2016 is better, tho - no Marauders, more ammo, more upset Hayden…)

As for phone, I’ve been trying out Google PlayPass and it might be the only Google service I keep using (unless/until I find a non-google alternative). I love no longer seeing ads or microtransactions in games. Some games I tried:

• Mini Metro (fun subway/tram/train network building game with daily challenges)
• Monument Valley (puzzle game about impossible architecture, alien geometries, and regret)
• There Is No Game (looks inside, finds game. False advertising smh my head)
• Human Resource Machine (great programming puzzle game, terrible IDE)
• Machinarium (cute robot-themed puzzle game from at least 10, possibly 20 years ago… UI design didn’t age well)
• INMOST (small horror metroidvania-ish adventure thingy)

Focusing on a point that one can address best and making the best possible case for/against it is probably better than trying to address everything at once.

Plus, if the full argument can be made without the weakest point, it should be. And if it cannot, then it cannot be made at all.
