I guess it's good, affordable presence detection which could enable some really cool home automation use cases.

Could this not paint a giant target on whichever instance these "cross-posts" ended up on? Reddit does not claim ownership of your content, but they might decide to go after Lemmy on behalf of the original content creators to defend their content rights as a way to attack Lemmy by proxy, assuming Reddit decides Lemmy is a threat. (IANAL, so I have no idea if this is actually possible.)

I say we just let Lemmy be Lemmy and not try to make it into Reddit 2. I'm enjoying the content on here more than anything I've seen on Reddit since the early days. I'd love to keep it that way.

Blue’s News used to be exclusively a Quake news site back in the 90s. I think it occasionally covered other shooters, and it seems to now be very broad. Feels good to see it still around.

It used to be a desktop gaming PC connected to a TV. I sold my house and went on the road for a bit, so the full-fat gaming PC couldn’t come along. I replaced it with a gaming laptop. I have a SteamDeck that I use on the airplane/train/whatever and occasionally when I don’t feel like getting out the laptop.

I loved Stuntman on the PS2. In it, you play a stunt driver across a series of movie sets. You drive the car while a director barks orders into your ear. If you complete all the set pieces in a scene, you move on to the next (more difficult) one and then onto other movies.

I love the process of refining the run over and over until you get it just right. The worst thing about the game is the load times. I don’t remember how long they were, but I remember they were very long. This is tough in a game that’s asking you to do something over and over until you get it right. Super Meat Boy handled this aspect much better years later, but I enjoy the premise of Stuntman more.

What does “ML” mean in this context?

Loving Arc! I kinda like how it doesn’t really make a distinction between tabs and favorites, and at the same time I kinda don’t.

Do you have a solution for links you want to have access to someday but don’t really want as pinned tabs or favorites? I have some pinned tab folders at the moment, but I don’t love that solution. I’ve used Pinboard in the past but, 1) I feel like that product is dying and 2) I’d like tighter browser integration.

Not OP, but does creating a community make you a moderator? If not, does it imply anything beyond that you want that community to exist? Knowing how online communities can go, I’m not sure I would want to take on the responsibility of moderating anything. 😅

Just got around to playing (most of) Mother 3 last year. It has a lot of the same charm and is really interesting in its own way… but it still didn't hit me quite the same way Earthbound did.

Yes, this is the problem. Search engines used to be a way to find stuff. They slowly evolved into more and more effective platforms for monetizing internet users, meaning the only content you can effectively find now is content that's selling something (or perhaps content that is selling you).

Breaking out of that bubble can reveal that content that isn't built for selling is still there. It's just like you said: it's gone underground. Not by choice but because the ground got moved.

Holy crap, I had totally forgotten GameCopyWorld! Thank you for this!

Long way to go, but it wasn't all that long ago Reddit was more sparse like this. In fact, I'd say it was better then. Besides that, Lemmy and other Fediverse alternatives don't have to become Reddit. They just need to be an outlet for discussion.

Reddit's numbers made it easy to find someone to discuss just about anything with, but people will seek out their group and eventually self-aggregate, whether it's on Lemmy, Tildes, or an old-school forum somewhere. The alternatives don't necessarily fail if they can't hit Reddit's numbers.

This new frontier looks way more exciting than the old one from my perspective. 🎉
