I feel like Lemmy is on its way and its main benefit is that it’s not as cynical as Reddit to EACH OTHER.

So many people on reddit gripe about the smallest shit, especially the Steam Deck reddit, that conversations become either you’re with my ideas or you’re against my ideas. Like even though you’re just trying to help others play a game, “I’m insulting you for free because of the way you said lowest fps is 33 with drops down to 29. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” (of course shoving a meme in there because that’s their identity at this point)

I clearly meant average, but oh here comes -20 comment score when I explain that.

I see nicer comment chains from people on opposing political sides here even though I know a usual reaction these days would be to tear at each others’ throats. Lemmy isn’t devoid of it, but Jesus at least it isn’t like how Reddit predictably uses a scalpel on your comments to find something to complain about.

But I think this might be the result of tailoring my experience over time with instances I want to see from and communities. That level of customization is awesome. But it does suck to see so many instance drama things happening in a much more rapid pace than reddit.

There’s an important moment where you have to ask yourself…

“Is this story so bad I’m not invested in it anymore?”

“Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?”

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you’re not gonna play it again.

As someone who recently got hit by a silver Honda in the middle of heavy rain. Look left as many fucking times as you can because there might be an invisible car without headlights on in the rain.

Games that don’t do this: infamous series. The first time on the first one is incredible. But afterwards as a trend, loading the game goes straight to your most recent save with zero menu.

Killzone: Shadowfall. No intros. Straight to the main menu when you boot. Unique and wild every time!

I would say the pursuit and journey for happiness is the sweet spot. It’s why artists and studios jump right back into some of the hardest processes to go through as they try new things on a new project. After finishing their movie or game, that high of achieving all of those things eventually due down and the question of what happens next settles in.

Like climbing a mountain. Sure all the enjoyment is at the top, but once you learn to enjoy the grand scheme of the whole process, there lies happiness. Anything could happen, but it doesn’t quite matter because you’re still inspired and driven to climb your mountain.

Man this is all so interesting to see so many unique situations testing the Fediverse to see how it holds up.

There’s 3 people working on this game and there’s hundreds of cheaters popping up every other day. It’s a massive load.

Especially when they also have to deal with DDOS attacks as they try to keep their servers alive for so many people too.

It’s 100% warranted and I’m glad they still saved a path for Linux. Even if it’s like, “You must be on the STEAM Kernal” or something, it might unlock a path for other anti-cheat to have some sort of access on Linux as well.

It might be because most of us Americans lick the boots of corporations for free or get in line to.
