If you want to see smaller communities, sort by "Scaled"

If you REALLY want to browse All, try the "New Comments" sort, it's like old forums

But I rarely look at All, mostly just Subscribed or Local

yea the web browser is local software lol

but really this feature should exist regardless of autocomplete, just to reduce user confusion, so people are aware of how this stuff works instead of trying to click the login link and then failing to login and making an angry Reddit post about it

the fact that it presents a link to solve the user's problem means that the user will click on it, and currently Lemmy only shows the login link as the solution to the problem, so of course the users will click on that and then they're lost

Rather than being a form, the local software could just detect and do it all seamlessly.

the web browser won't grant access to cross domain storage

even if it did some people have multiple accounts, or may not have logged in on the current device yet, or might be browsing incognito/inprivate, so it would still have to be a form of some kind

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 2 points 6 days ago

I think that just means the platform is not for you (or for me). If it was a good fit for you then you would have people that you want to follow.

it's better than nothing, users get so confused currently when they see this

that message would be greatly improved if it said "or open this in your home instance by clicking here"

also if it uses a common input name (which it would because it's the same Lemmy software) then your webbrowser would suggest/autocomplete it

I never enjoyed Mastodon or Twitter either

but if you want to follow a person instead of a topic/community then you use Mastodon/Mbin/etc

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 5 points 6 days ago (6 children)

have you seen the "Subscribe from Remote Instance" feature that already exists in Lemmy?

Could be identical to this

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 2 points 6 days ago (5 children)

this makes me think we should have a marker for communities that are inactive/dead or an easy way to hide them or filter them out in favor of more active communities

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 4 points 6 days ago

we can tell :) keep it up

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 2 points 6 days ago

Chat view could show single comment of context

this would be almost identical to old school forums, clubsall does this too even with posts that originated from Lemmy

markdown element for datetime with automatic timezone conversions

like how Discord uses hammertime

yea, but if Lemmy never adds a feature you really want, maybe we just switch to PieFed lol

the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

and they haven't even seemed to notice this thread yet (Rimu did though!) and just closed a ton of issues as "won't fix", meanwhile Rimu responded in a similar thread for PieFed within 2 hours of it being posted https://piefed.social/comment/7335468

although Lemmy does show crossposts already and v1.0 will have multi-communities

 

Anyone else play this game? I had a lot of fun with it as a kid, I think I only had the demo lol.

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, here's the trailer from v3.0 which gives an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mTcG6xeq4&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1

It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

  • Many new game modes:
    • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
    • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
    • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
    • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
    • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
    • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
    • One Item Mode - Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)

  • Many new loadouts and augmentations:
    • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
    • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
    • And more!

  • Lots of balance changes
    • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
    • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
  • More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
  • New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
  • Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
  • New menu to change current in-game settings
  • Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
  • Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

Paris, July 24, 1914. We are excited to announce that Jordan Mechner's acclaimed real-time adventure The Last Express is now ready for testing in ScummVM!

Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, an American doctor on the run from murder charges, as he boards the legendary Orient Express for what would be its final journey before the outbreak of World War I.

What makes this adventure game truly unique is its time-based gameplay - the game takes place in real time, and characters move within the train following their own schedules, speaking in their native languages, and living their lives whether you're watching or not. But don't worry... you can always rewind time if you missed anything important!

To test this game, you'll need the original version of the game (either from the original hybrid DOS/Windows/Mac CDs or from GOG.com) and a daily development build of ScummVM. Please note that the Gold Edition available from Steam is NOT supported - only the original version is compatible at this time. The engine supports the following languages for the game: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. We couldn't locate the Japanese version at the moment, but please contact us if you have it!

Grab a daily build, have our testing guidelines handy, and get ready for an incredible journey through history, mystery, and one of the most innovative adventure games of the 1990s — and besides... the Orient Express is such a beautiful train, wouldn't you want to take some screenshots while you're there?

26 Mixes for Cash was released in 2003, but this song is from "Never Mind The Distortion" from 1994. I think 26 Mixes for Cash is a really underrated release!
