Hey, I like your dedication for the AESTHETIC and Kamen Rider. πŸ‘

Old Bioware stuff, aka action RPG games that put importance to story, lore, companions, and my not-so-guilty pleasure: romance.

I have a lot of emotions about the upcoming DA: Dreadwold.

It would take times, the more informative content we have (even the what's your top 5 thing posts) that common people use search engine to look up for and find, the more we will get exposure, just like how reddit find its audience. Imo, as long as lemmy doesn't get into front page of search engine, I'm afraid the number of lemmyverse users that migrate from reddit won't sharply increase unless reddit does more fuckups. This might also mean, there will be inevitably one or a select few big lemmy instances that will get more exposure.

In any case, it's not necessarily a bad thing; Lemmy (and kbin) needs a lot of improvement to be accessible to most people. Let people that are tech-savvy and those who are passionate in open-source projects improve it first. Otherwise, others will try and find lemmy too complicated to use as it is right now and not interested in using it later down the road.

Just my 0.02

Okay, I'm OOTL. Are the other comments being serious or just sarcastic? Why does this game garner so much hype?

Just for the sake of clarity, the poster isn't from beehaw, only posted on beehaw community, so chances are they can go straight to the BG3 community in lemmy.world.

Thanks regardless! Didn't know there's a BG3 community already. I'm still in fence about buying it because of the price and my massive backlog, waiting until the full release and maybe discount further along the way πŸ₯²

Thanks for reminding me. I used RES and curated my reddit page to only subreddits I personally followed; I forgot that many redditors have different experience than mine. Most of subreddits in r/popular (or is it r/all?) are just user engagement machine. I agree that's probably not great for mental health in a long term.

I wonder if this source of mental health decline i.e. anxiety and depression:

The researchers posit that social comparison with peers is behind those results

means that social media such as reddit (ugh) or lemmy have less negative effect or a different one? I don’t think I have problem with social comparison by browsing lemmy but I do feel like I still spend more time than necessary. Some kind of FOMO I guess.

Did you untick "Show Read Posts" in the setting? I think I read some similar case like yours on another post and that was the problem.

I wonder who is behind this and what's the intention.

[–] gonta@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I can see your comment from my instance page :)

Near my place, there's a very narrow sidewalk that is obstructed by trees' root and trunks; That way, pedestrian were forced to walk on the road beside the sidewalk. Just brilliant.

The one on the video looks absolutely gorgeous by comparison.

Reading what you previously like, I assumed you would prefer something that focus more on gameplay than (usually text-heavy) story.

If that's the case, then I don't think Ace Attorney or Professor Layton will be up your alley. Maybe Professor Layton is better because it has puzzles but tbh the games' vibe feel geared more toward kids, I still enjoyed the mystery though.

My recommendation:

  • CrossCode (I'm playing it right now, loving it so far. Classis JRPG visual but without the sluggish turn-based combat, I predict it's going to be quite long)
  • Gorogoa (Pure puzzle, kinda short)
