Ive been obsessed with The Witness for a few weeks now. Some puzzles are so damn tricky but figuring them out is so pleasurable. This is one of the few puzzle games im actually trying to solve on my own instead of relying on walkthroughs so the experience is very fulfilling

I can only guess its because of the fear of getting sued for sexual assault. The details of the story unfortunately dont matter, many folks just read the headlines and theyll just remember "helping them will get you sued"

The difference was far smaller than i anticipated, so im mildly relieved. Hopefully, should i be right, we manage to dispell these fears

The following question:

In your opinion, has Beehaw gotten less enjoyable to use since you joined?

Has some answers that confuse me. The options:

  • No, the site has not gotten less enjoyable

  • Have not observed a difference

Sound identical to me. I could see that the former implies its equal or better than before, while the latter states its just equal. But there is another option: "Actually, the site has gotten more enjoyable", which clearly states its better than before.

If an option states no change, and another states improvement, I see no reason why there is an option which implies both.

Exactly, thats why i disagree with naming new instances as "feddit". Sure, lemmy could be considered a "federated reddit" but at some point we should be able to detach it from that simplification.

Huh i wasnt aware of the advice of counsel defense. Seems like the conditions are effective in blocking misuse of said defense. I do wonder if there has been a big case where this has been used succesfully, bc it doesnt really sound like a good strategy, even if we consider a less crazy context than this one.

Oh my god the protags of dw worst movies should be the antagonists of story mode, trying to conquer dw by winning the race and become the next ceo just to force another movie of their shitty ip.

Imagine will smith fish saying midrace "if i win, my movie is gonna reference among us. And covid 19." And his victory dance is him flossing.

Also to uncollapse them you have to tap the comment from the right side, otherwise youll go to their profile page. Perhaps the user link could be deactivated if the comment is collapsed.

I like how it has a different color for its hexagon. It does make it distinct enough to look like the "main" icon.

Really like it myself, tbh. The cowboy hat does look more like a crown.

Would ask this on a LinuxCrackSupport community. Without it, the best choice is here, as i didnt buy the game on steam.

TGAA uses wmv cutscenes during the first half of the game. They cant play properly, getting stuck on a black screen. While it could be circumvented by removing the wmv files, skipping the cutscenes altogether is detrimental to the story, as this game is sort of a mystery-focused vn. Cutscenes are important.

The wmv files can be played with mf-installcab, according to this reddit post. The issue im having is that most online help refers to either steam, lutris or a raw ~/.wine folder. I use Bottles to run windows software, so if its possible to keep using that instead of Lutris, itd be appreciated.

-I tried this command line from a "Kingdom Hearts on Linux" tutorial to run mf-installcab on the bottle and it seemed to properly run and install the necessary dependencies. However, the cutscenes still do not work.

-I tried re-encoding the cutscenes as suggested here, but that did not work either, nor i expected it to.

-Using the Bottles options, I installed the Media Foundation dependency. That did not work either.

My situation is highly specific, even for a linux user, so i dont expect nor demand a solution. Apparently lutris works just fine from what i can read, so i might try that if nothing else works. Still, any help, no matter how small, will be appreciated.

Same. Im already within more communities than i ever had subreddits. Theres simply more to talk about here imo. The platform just needs to grow a little bigger and well have the ultra-niche communities not be complete ghost towns. Cant wait!

I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.

This makes more sense, and its awful.

From what i can gather, it could be beneficial to, for example, have an instance which would become the main place to get videogame content on Lemmy. Most communities would be for specific games or AAA companies, but it could also have c/general for asking questions or topics which are non specific to any community, or c/meta, which would work as a place to discuss the state of the instance.

Overall, nothing that different from the actual status quo, but this way, we could consider instances as hubs for certain topics, which would then specialize with the /c/s within said instance. Instead of having 7 c/technology across instances, we could have @Tech.no and subdivide it into c/topic1, c/topic2, etc. (was supposed to come up with smthing but came empty handed shut up i dont browse that sub) .

What im mostly seeing here is that popular instances themselves are not different from reddit. The most popular instances on lemmy are beehaw.org and lemmy.ml, which have the same m.o, if you will, of reddit. Which is good, theyre popular for a reason, but in a way, theyre competing with each other. Not financially, but there will be overlap between certain /c/s.

Of course im not asking if its possible. Its just a matter of running the server and having the right infrastructure. My question is if you think its feasible to decentralize lemmy from the main instances, or even a good idea in the first place. Maybe you think its ok the way things currently are? Or maybe what i said is supposed to be the goal and im just late to the party? What are your thoughts?
