Libel if it’s in print, slander if you say it in person

Resist the FOMO, don’t buy a game just because it’s brand new and they paid for enough marketing that everyone’s talking about it. Go through your backlog, replay your favourites, find some cheap indies or second hand classic or free giveaways. Nobody can force you to pay through the nose for games and there’s more choice than ever before!

In the traditional sense of losing about 10% of its users? Seems about right.

I just go with “corpo social media” - is there a company trying to get infinite growth and profit behind the website?

Nautilus was torture-tested with poor aim scenarios, erratic flow rates, and simulated misfires

reducing splashback by a staggering 98%

Seems like they did this properly, and while it’s not perfect it handles sprinkler mode pretty well

I don’t know how the purchasing power differs across the pond but converting dollarydoos to pounds that sounds like a bargain for a new functional EV

Whatever happened to the hololens? I used an early one and it was genuinely an incredibly cool bit of kit. Could they just not think of a way to make money with it?

Fair to not like that, I just assumed it was a deliberate part of the “this game is very hard” design

What about the first floor didn’t you like?

Exactly. How can a brand-new game be influential? What has it had time to influence?

I’m not so sure

I saw a Lemmy post about Super Metroid Redux being a great way to play Super Metroid nowadays, seems like it brings a lot of your desired bells and whistles

Hard to say what the best is as it’s very much an opinion but HG/SS is probably a good choice

I’m not sure I’d recommend X/Y to start as others have. I definitely enjoyed it but it was noticeably dumbed-down compared to older games. It’s not as bad as S/M (which was so trivially challenge-free I got bored), but I’m concerned that you might just not be interested. They say that game freak keep releasing games for small children despite the players growing up, so bare that in mind if you find the newer games too easy.

I’m not sure I can recommend R/B/Y to a newbie either, as without any nostalgia they will probably seem incredibly dated. Maybe FR/LG is a good place to start, I hardly played it but it seems like you get the original experience with a bit of polish. I feel it’s better to start with an older game as then if you like it you can continue through them in order rather than going back to something with less features. That said if you think it’s too old and you’re not enjoying it then just skip to something newer!

Are you posting an advert, new account with no post or comment history?

Sadly the article is very light on how this actually works. I’m guessing it involves setting up an authenticator on the phone (something they encourage anyway) and just using a QR code as a new way of interacting with it?

Ooh does Futo have it’s own FOSS swipe-typing implementation?

How does it compare to Heliboard?

I actually use adblock.dns.mullvad.net, I just recommend adguard for beginners as it seems more stable (though I’ve not had a stability issue with mullvad for years)

You can also just set your private DNS to something like dns.adguard.com and block almost all ads in every app, no installs required
