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.

The Summit app can to this

Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?

I use Boost and it seems to be able to do at least most of the moderation actions needed, and it supports notifications. I think Summit, Connect, Sync, and Jerboa are also good but I haven’t used them too much.

A post will federate to every instance that has at least 1 subscriber of that community. If you want to get your communities federating to other instances and get them more popular, use this tool

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!

ReVamped is such an obviously good name lol

Mario World probably was a bit too easy, but I think SM64 difficulty was good especially if you wanted to get all 120 stars

I think most retro games were hard enough as it is, considering limited disc/cartridge space and because you were generally expected to spend more time with a single game back then. But I agree with the people here saying Pokemon lol, romhacks are better.

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 [email protected] it gets the hashtag for announcements

https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/112576601493225058

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

image proxying also sounds good

In the user settings there’s an option to export everything to a file, then you just import that file into your other account

That would make community names a bit longer so they’d be more annoying to type and share?

Most niche communities (with some exceptions ofc:-) here aren’t as active as they were on Reddit, so many of us end up spending more time in the generalized ones - e.g. [email protected] rather than specific ones like r/OnePlus or even r/Android.

I think we need to get better about crossposting to multiple communities. You could post to all 3 of those.

I filed an issue on Github for you

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4743

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?

Just saying it’s an easy one to start with to get familiar with the system

And yeah it could be used to verify “tags” in the title, or require you put the year for something like a movie title or game, like (1993)

also my comment kicked off a little discussion in here, so that’s nice too
