All I’m learning from this thread is that no one can tell any consistent signs.

I didn’t realize there was a sequel in the works. I hope they learned some lessons from the first one, because it almost excellent, but in the end it couldn’t get past good for me.

How does this one still work? Does it do it in a different way than the old apps did?

Kadokawa, the people who make RPG Maker?

That does sound like an improvement. Have you tried Bluesky at all? I dipped my toe into that one and was just curious how you thought it compares if you have.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Definitely check out the myst remake, as it has modern movement available (and it’s gorgeous). These two games are basically puzzle game masterpieces and remembered so fondly for a reason. Hope you enjoy them. 🙂

Oddly specific 🤔

Wow I was just saying I would love to see a remaster of this!

I’m a designer and there’s some truth to this. Sometimes it’s a great new partnership, but sometimes it’s too many cooks in the kitchen if there’s no clear vision holder.

What do you like more about mastodon than Twitter? I always end up bouncing off microblogging sites but I still haven’t tried that one.

Just wanted to back you up on this. I’m also very outside the techy core of people on here and have been hoping for more diversity to join as well. There’s at least two of us!

I haven’t really been back either, and I also miss it in some ways. I think for me I mostly miss the broader user base. Lemmy skews hard into a few interest groups, especially tech-focused ones, and while I have overlap there, I wish there were more types of people on here with less techy interests.

I tried bluesky for a little bit, but I honestly just bounce off Twitter whenever I try it, and Twitter clones have the same problem I guess. They have such a strong undercurrent of outrage and smugness, and while reddit and Lemmy could be accused of having some of this too, something about it feels much worse to me on microblogging sites.

I also miss the culture of linking to other subreddits in comments. That was a big way I found new communities on Reddit over the years, either ones I joined or just funny things you can’t believe exist. I think the lack of that on here really hurts the ability for me to find smaller communities. Thanks to federation I’m not even sure how you do it on here. I’m sure it’s more complicated than L/whatever.

I actually don’t mind Instagram, but only after revancing it. 🙃

What does someone have to do to prove to youtube they own it?

Mobile games make more money than the entire rest of the gaming sector combined.

Thanks for the ramble!

Would there be any interest (or does it already exist) for a community dedicated to indie shoutouts? I picture somewhere specifically for fans and devs to call attention to good games without marketing budgets or their own work in the case of devs.

…said no one ever.

They claim it all runs locally. Anyone want to turn the Internet off and call their bluff?

There’s been ads in Google for over a decade now.
