I’ve never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)

I’ve played all the old school Square and Enix stuff. FF6 is my goat.
Sure. Tales games tend to be high fantasy settings where each game is its own setting (much like Final Fantasy in that sense). They tend to have a lot of “war against heaven corrupted” kind of vibes. But largely there’s a lot of places to explore, NPCs to talk to, and a bunch of great little skits that trigger between your team. They tend to be lighter on graphics in exchange for length and depth of story. But it’s also somewhat linear, and carefully crafted and you can sort of lose yourself in finding the next story beat.
But they also typically have active combat systems where it’s about button mashing and combos. This is the part I don’t like :)
No! I’ve heard it is quite the investment if you want to start at the beginning. Is there a later jumping in point that works well, in your opinion?
Outer Worlds. Colourful corporate dystopian. Purpleberry Crunch!
I don’t understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.
This is such an interesting development. I bet a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired.
That article is light on implemention details. It talks a lot about the legislation itself, and ways in which it might be implemented.
Pot – kettle
Yes, but how. The details matter
I’m saying you should do your own research
This is the calling card slogan of someone who’s bought into reality rejection…
The educated world is built on a web of trust whereupon subject matter experts must necessarily yield to others when something is outside of their realm of expertise. I am a planetary scientist and geophysicist and spent nearly a decade studying. I am constantly learning things in my own field, and by no means do I have a full grasp on every detail. But I can call out BS when someone talks about orbital mechanics or earthquakes or whatever. I do not, however, know anything about the digestive tract of my cat and yield to the veterinarian who has spent their whole life becoming an expert on these sorts of things. I don’t argue with the vet that I’ve done my own research (watched a few youtube videos) and thus am qualified to disagree with them. Because objectively I know less than them on that subject and no cursory review will solve my ignorance.
When rating the bias of news organizations, what qualifications do you have so that you can do your own research? Do you have fundamental knowledge of the journalistic process? Is the media source covering a topic you are a subject matter expert in? Or are you just lashing out because it doesn’t vibe with your worldview?
The thing about the fediverse is: it doesn’t have to be uniform in how the admins and moderators behave, because federation is an elective process. Don’t like an admin or mod, go somewhere else. Just don’t be surprised when that somewhere else gets defederated.
So, federated network advantages here: you can always modify your instance’s hosting code to patch this out, at least for the users on your instance.
What you cannot do is prevent other federated instances from publishing the votes submitted to content on their instance. But if you’re accessing that content through your local instance, they can modify the upvote button to pop up a dialog saying something like: “The instance that hosts this content has elected to make usernames visible for upvote/downvote. Would you still like to vote?”
Personally: In many ways I don’t mind. I’m on the internet with my real name. I don’t mind being accountable for my behaviour online. I might be a little more cautious about upvoting something controversial or NSFW, but largely it wouldn’t change my behaviour.
So no way to pull Mastadon hosted content into Lemmy.
Okay, but how.
Wait, you can follow Mastadon from Lemmy already? How?
Is this unmodded? I’ve never played it, and this screenshot alone intrigues me enough…
Ironically, pineapple on pizza is a Canadian thing. Even the name “Hawaiian” pizza originates from Canada.
Definitely a different kind of creative thinking involved haha
Yeah, that’s a good option perhaps. I grabbed em recent because of a steam sale, but never played them before. Appreciate the rec :)
