  • Opposing consumer rights initiative known as "Stop Killing Games", bullying people in his holier than thou attitude while being completely wrong/lying about all of it. Just his typical rat behavior

  • I used to be a big fan of rhythm games on android, but the loss of the headphone jack has completely killed it for me. Bluetooth latency is still like 200ms, it's insane. I can't stand to even watch video with it

  • Yup. I understood when they made the $1 minimum but pay what you what has basically been fraud for years now, ever since they started locking games behind an actual price. It's just a bundle sale, and it's not humble anymore

  • I mean, in a lot of ways the social media takeover is the antithesis to freedom of information. It's all siloed off echo chambers where it used to be free flowing, publicly available, indexable and searchable.

    I still believe in the freedom of information goal more than ever, but fighting for it in the post information era is increasingly difficult (and important)

  • Yeah it's pretty bleak, although there have been some moves towards right to repair in recent years.

    Respecting companies is always a bit fraught though. Even the ones you like are only doing it to profit off of your niche. It's thanks to us that they even have a profitable niche to serve

  • AA is where it's at now. There's still insanely good games coming out, there just not by companies like EA and Activision anymore.

    In some ways I think the good development studios are the same size they've always been, it's just that a new class of mainstream games has risen to profit on the masses. If you ignore those, it's not so bad. At least not until one of the AAA publishers gets their hands on them to ruin the IP and layoff the original devs

    Are anti-Lemmy sentiments being botted?

    In other places on around the web, (chiefly /r/RedditAlternatives) whenever Lemmy is brought up, invariably I see the exact same complaints from brand new accounts.

    Lemmy is too complicated, it wont gain traction, can't figure out how to use it, can't log in, etc.

    Now, I'm definitely more tech savvy than the average redditor, but I just don't see the complaints. You can go to any Lemmy site, instantly start doomscrolling with a familiar UI, and sign up on all the instances I've tried has been frankly more simple than making a new reddit account. The only real complaint I have is the generally smaller volume of users and posts.

    My only thought here is the words like federation and instances getting people hung up. Maybe join-lemmy.org being a highly ranked site is doing more harm than good by creating an additional barrier to the instances and content.

    Ideally, the first link someone sees when googling Lemmy would be a global feed on a fairly generic instance, with a basic tagline
