What a cutie. Hope you’re feeling OK, I’m sure she had a wonderful life

AI cats, let’s have some real cats!!

What I find quite interesting is that sync is obviously very feature rich, it’s why it was many people’s preferred client.

I just downloaded a few of the others and here’s a few things:

• you can set different sort methods based on view. This feels important at the moment when communities are smaller. I have my subs set to New but Instance and All to something else
• feed view customisations are super deep. Nice to have obviously but this is where all the inherited value from the old reddit app is
• gesture navigation still feels better than all others but I might be biased because I’m used to it

However, it’s undeniable that there are still some basic things it doesn’t handle perfectly. At the moment the perks outweigh the missing bits for me, BUT I found the pricing at launch to be optimistic at best, so like another commenter, I’m using the free version and blocking ads via Blokada and I’m happy enough

It would be great if it did everything perfectly I agree but that’s true for all the apps rn

Just quit then, millions have. I have more respect for people still smoking cigarettes tbqh.

He is also an amazing roleplayer

Check out Haunted City, the blades in the dark RPG actual play podcast. Abu is the chaos agent in this and has some amazing scenes. One of the best

Why would @ljdawson@lemmy.world do this?

Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I’m not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y’all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn’t do as well as they hoped.

Classic sync post

There are two YouTubes. One is the “creator” YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I’d no longer need YouTube

The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that’s the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube’s lunch

It’s up to the website to manage this, not the browser.

This is kinda working for me

I just gave it a quick go but I’ve never used the app in landscape once in 10 or so years!

Edit: sorry forgot to add that it seemed generally ok to me!

It’s also relatively tiny so a bit unreasonable to expect things to be updated daily.

I’m not really seeing any major issues anyway - what is so broken that OP is so annoyed about? Only thing im aware of is the Instances button not working, which yeah that’s true. Not really a major issue though?

I completely agree. I want a new bigger one! I thought the writing in 2 was great, considering how cringe some of it was in LiS and Before the Storm (which I still loved anyway).

LiS2 is a brilliant brilliant game

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn’t do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though

Is Jusant really that short? I think the demo took me 2 hours
