here’s a good video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU Ross’s Game Dungeon: Deus Ex

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJazjz9ZsA Deus Ex: Human Revolution is FINE, And Here’s Why

I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.

I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.

You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.

something that didn’t get mentioned but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1639#issuecomment-2172090390

I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480

it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!

there is an in-progress proof of concept here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695

if you have a Github account you can “subscribe” to that to get email updates about it

In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.

this should be interesting

for reference, this is what it looks like on Mastodon, the post to !announcements@lemmy.ml it gets the hashtag for announcements

https://mastodon.social/@dessalines@lemmy.ml/112576601493225058

it’s not really part of the message text, it’s separate

image proxying also sounds good

I think that’s https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4623

which is part of the milestone for v0.19.5

I’m still most excited about the ongoing work on plugin support

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695

would you say this belongs in the 0.20.0 milestone? or is it too soon?

Oh that’s really dumb

Maybe they should’ve rushed it instead of delaying it lol

Tournaments and also digital versions of the game. I think Scrabble might be popular on Facebook?

It’s there now, the crawler found you. Congrats!

I’m a big fan of their The Walking Dead games. For a long time I thought the final season would never be finished, but I think it was like a couple years later and it was bought out and finished, and miraculously it was actually good too.

Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don’t allow searches for remote objects unless you’re logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you’re getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it’s probably all working fine.

I think this might convince the Mastodon devs to fix their rendering of Lemmy posts, and then this will be a good thing

also Lemmy itself might find a way to make use of hashtags

are you talking about something different from the Active sort?

give it a thumbs up so the devs know you want it https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2317

start banning communities, I think you’ll thin out the posts you don’t want to see quickly

Because if I didn’t use Discord then I would be the only one in the community. Discord has a massive userbase especially with gamers. You give them a Discord link and there’s a decent chance you’ll see them join and post a message. Give them any other link and they’ll never make an account, they probably won’t even click the link to see it.

I provide links for Discord, Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Steam group, and GitHub. I see lots of people come in on Discord, but 0 on the others except for myself lol.

Only the few actual contributors use the GitHub, don’t think I’ve ever seen a non-programmer submit a bug report on my GitHub or use the discussions or leave any comments on releases or anything.

I’m also on Moddb and NexusMods, got a few comments on Moddb, none on Nexusmods yet.

I also have Twitch and YouTube of course, I get small numbers of people commenting on those.

Nobody has even asked for any other type of community, Discord is just want they want. If I just wanted to talk to myself then I wouldn’t bother creating a community/forum at all.

Also linking that post reminded me, hopefully somehow a smoother way to link posts across instances can be worked out (albeit that’s a general federation quirk from what I’ve seen, Mastodon runs into similar stuff sometimes).

@einat2346@lemmy.today actually dbzer0 doesn’t have access to your IP address, only lemmy.today sees it

for everyone else it’s the instance that your account lives on
