  • Honestly, I think the market is so saturated with superhero media (movies, games, tv shows) that anything that’s not at the top is at the bottom. I kinda know that Green Arrow is a superhero just from what I’ve heard and seen in other superhero stuff, but that’s about it. Most people that aren’t really into the superhero genre won’t bat an eye unless they market it as the next best AAA game, and then if it falls short of that it’s a bust.

    Edit: it may be better off as an indie-style, lower budget game that the fans can get into without the producers having to risk a whole lot, but with the whole Marvel/DC stuff they seem to have huge budgets and bigger profit expectations.







  • Pocketbook devices mostly run on Linux, except for a few android models. I have the Pocketbook Basic Lux, and I side load manga onto a SD card for it. It has a bookstore that can be entirely ignored, and you can use it without ever connecting wifi. I use Kindle Comic Converter to resize all my manga to the same resolution of the screen to prevent artifacts when the software downscales the images, as well as significantly reducing file size. It has a very simple menu and does not come with any bloatware or unnecessary additions. It is simply an eReader.







  • Uh oh I have 517 hours in Planetside 2. That’s only counting Steam game time, and not using the standalone client before I played on Steam or time spent in the closed beta.

    I have almost 1,000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV and I have only finished the main game and first expansion. Although I mainly played before the first expansion came out and got back into it in 2023.

    Other games include: World of Tanks Blitz with 755 hours on Steam, not counting mobile; Lord of the Rings Online with 714 on Steam, not counting standalone client before it was on Steam; Elite Dangerous with 687 hours; Star Wars The Old Republic with 572 hours on Steam, not counting the standalone client before it was on Steam; Elden Ring with 360 hours; Mount & Blade Bannerlord with 180 hours.

    Honorable mention: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on original XBox. I don’t know how many hours I sunk into that, but it was a favorite of mine.



  • While reddit has much more activity and posts due to the amount of users it has amassed over the years, I’ve found most of the stuff on the frontpage is just bots reposting the same memes over and over again to farm karma. On Lemmy, I see a lot more new OC and memes I wouldn’t see on Reddit.

    The news posts seem to be about the same, but I find the comment section on Lemmy to be better for conversation. Reddit comment section on popular posts is basically just the top few comment chains, a lot of bots, and a plethora of single comments getting lost in the swarm.

    Edit: to add to the second point, Lemmy feels a lot more engaging to me. If I reply to something on Reddit it most likely will not be seen by anybody unless it’s in a niche community.
