Although this issue might be more severe for Lemmy, I think it still occurs on Reddit, but it ends up working itself out. For instance, there's also a "r/tech" and (at some point) there was a "r/technologynews" subreddit, which you could view as redundant and possibly confusing to new users. But r/tech seems to have focused on longer-form more in-depth discussion while r/technology is certainly the larger and more general of the two, so most users will probably just sub to the larger one and maybe others will decide they like the vibe of r/tech more. In the long term, I'm sure a similar thing will happen to communities with the same, or close to the same, name.

Yeah the ground-to-space sequence was great. I wonder if that extended ~15 second duration where the ship is completely surrounded by fog is essentially hiding the game loading. If so, it's very nicely done.

I think you're totally right! That's partially why I said it's a bigger problem on Lemmy. Tools like browse.feddit.de will be pretty important; it'd be great if they were placed prominently somewhere.

I'm really excited! My partner and I immediately fell in love with it from the art-style and 2D-to-3D gameplay. No release date yet, though, right?

Should all instances of duplicated posts be gone? I’m still seeing this occasionally on my “All” feed (I’ve confirmed they are from the same server).

Huh is there some controversy with its politics? I haven’t heard of that yet!

Apollo is similar! iirc the only "functional" feature locked beyond a paywall is submitting posts (which you could argue is a pretty big feature to lock away). But I think the majority of users rarely submit posts, and the "pro" tier was just a one-time $5 payment. I found Apollo very intuitive to use and very minimalistic; there was very little fluff to distract from posts and comments.

Yeah it looks promising! I hope the difficulty / combat will scale well from 2-33 people... I can't imagine playing this game with more than 2-3 people on a regular basis.

Yeah, I used to love Boston's 10-15 minute drive to the airport. These days it's more like 30-40 minutes...

Large bags of salted roasted cashews! Much better value than at Trader Joe's.

I think that would be great! I’m sure it’s more difficult than it seems, though, to port over the entire backend to Lemmy, especially with its decentralized nature. Also I’m sure Christian is a bit burnt out after the Reddit fiasco, so I can’t fault him for taking a breather.

Yeah haha, biking through heavy rain is not fun; last time that happened to me my eyes were in pain from getting hit by the rain.

In Boston area, I really like Pavement Coffee! They have a few locations around here. I’ve used their coffee for pour over and espresso and it’s great for both!

As a nice bonus, they also have great homemade bagels.

It looks really great! Minor point, but I was mildly amused by Basim's complete lack of expression as he's executing the last assassination: https://youtu.be/gcLe3Rkqo_0?t=394

Certain communities seem to be inaccessible from Lemmy.world and vice versa. For instance, if I try to access /c/boston in Lemmy.ml via lemmy.world/c/[email protected], I get a "404: couldnt_find_community" error. Similarly, trying to access /c/boston in Lemmy.world from either Kbin.social (via kbin.social/m/[email protected]) or Lemmy.ml (via lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]) both give 404 errors.

Cool to hear you play Runeterra! I created /c/[email protected] yesterday. Share any decks you’ve been playing there :)

Definitely. I’m currently using Mlem, and it does channel the vibe of Apollo in some ways. It’s definitely not as feature-rich, but that’s likely just because it’s fairly new (and in beta).

Unfortunately I haven’t played Sekiro (that and Bloodborne are the two FromSoftware games I haven’t had checked out yet). The timing on the perfect block is strict, but it feels repeatable once you figure out the timing for a specific boss.

Cool, thanks for the info! I also found this handy doc that seems to be crowd-sourced compatibility with analog input!

Honestly, their house blend is really good (Rathskeller House Blend). I also like the Genji Challa for a lighter roast.
