Big agree. I bought it day one because initial reviews were good. Remember people saying Bethesda cooked? Played it till 6AM that day. A week later I booted it up again, and... After a few hours, I stopped and never opened it again. I don't know exactly why. It's exactly what we expected - Skyrim in space. But I think the realistic space-explorer fantasy and not very gripping story or characters just didn't appeal to me as much as i thought it would, and made me want to play TES instead.

I was made aware of this game not long ago, drawn by its strong Redwall energy. Really interested in playing or running it.

Though I can't help but notice how this "review" really doesn't mention any downsides whatsoever. Maybe that's just how the reviewer rolls.

You just dropped a mind bomb on me. Suddenly things make sense :o

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

Sucks to be me, who relatively recently hopped on the train and is actually excited to see what happens after this saga.

When art cares only about being profitable...

Then again, I see what they were saying about overdelivering. How do i say this. When expectations are high, so is the risk. The more resources you put into a release, the greater the loss if it fails. Live service is all about momentum, and once you lose momentum, it takes a very careful hand to make sure everything doesn't fall apart. Bungie is not led by careful hands, it seems.

Interesting that it mentions this.

The layoffs are part of a larger money-saving initiative at Sony’s PlayStation unit, which has also cut employees at studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and its San Mateo office.

So it seems Bungie management was told by Sony to start snipping after all? I don't know what to make of this.

Also, crazy that Mike Salvatori of all people was let go. Maybe he can team back up with Marty now...

Or old books! I just love the smell of books in general.

Sorry, are you converting it, lossily, twice? That's like twice the lossiness! Just convert it once.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

It's a manual disable that Bungie enacted while they presumably fix some exploits or gamebreaking bugs. Guardian ranks have nothing to do with them being locked, just so you know.

Wow. What a show. I am so excited for the experiences DE has in store for both Soulframe and Warframe. It's crazy that we're able to have them for free. And i think that's very important.

That Wizard came from the Moon!

 

Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What's the catch?

(I am not very experienced with the fediverse, having only just joined Lemmy)

 

Can anybody not in the instance I'm logged into see this post?

 

This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean.

So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance:

  • The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems.
  • The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community via the instance I searched it on, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet.

Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
