  Berry Bury Berry, A Game About Digging a Hole, and Scritchy Scratchy are the games that I know of that are closest to the gameplay loop I’m looking for. Basically, doing a simple satisfying task to buy upgrades to make the task more efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a place where I can ask questions specifically about Lemmy? Is here fine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  asklemmy is explicitly not a support community, so that sort of question is usually locked and removed. Its more for open-ended discussion questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy or Piefed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be disabled, but IMO, choosing to leave its default so low is pretty hostile towards your most dedicated users. I know you don’t agree, but as seen by the pushback you received, many dedicated users in the fediverse’s already small userbase were against that design decision. I’m not trying to attack you, and I’d still rather use PieFed than Lemmy, but a user looking to set up shop somewhere will want to know about design philosophies like that, whether it affects them immediately, or is just something they may be concerned about in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy or Piefed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using PieFed at the moment, although its more a matter of avoiding the Lemmy devs’ hate and support of violence.

  PieFed is definitely developing faster, and has a host of features Lemmy doesn’t as a result. PieFed has following users, de-duplication of posts, fairs, among other stuff, which Lemmy still lacks. That said, the PieFed dev has some very weird opinions on social media design, so for every new feature, there’s an anti-feature. For example, I love the extra moderation tools, but the voting quota limits the ability for more dedicated users to contribute. Its mostly a dislike of internet culture and those who spend a lot of time online, so PieFed tends to discourage things like memes. All-in-all, I’d say PieFed is better, but if you care about the specific downsides, you can easily disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Pokemon Showdown Moderators SO against the discussion of "Eating Pokemon"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, while it is cannon, they mostly avoid it nowadays because there is so much weird stuff around it. While Pokemon are depicted as animals, many are suggested to be sentient and/or just as intelligent as humans, so things get very messy even within the universal canonical stuff, nonetheless stuff that they’ve swept under the rug.

  But like, they can already do that with exclusivity deals if its just for games, nonetheless bad looking ones. The only way they would benefit them is if they genuinely think this actually looks good, or they’re trying to further inflate the AI bubble, and one of those two options seems far more likely than the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do I go for unbiased news in the world without it having an ulterior motive or kissing ass to the establishment of said country?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not the worst, but even this chart has some pretty significant issues. For example, both BBC and The Economist are said to have left-wing bias, which in and of itself is weird, but even weirder is that the BBC is said to be both more accurate and less left-wing than The Economist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia finally reveals what controls devs actually have for DLSS 5, and don't worry folks, there are TWO main sliders to control the AI filter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, given that they previously said it was only running on multi-gpu systems, I can’t see one generation of advancement being enough to make this feasible on consumer hardware. At this point, I’m thinking that this is just a paper product meant to help inflate valuations without any intention to launch it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia finally reveals what controls devs actually have for DLSS 5, and don't worry folks, there are TWO main sliders to control the AI filter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe there is eventually a way of making these filters look good by adding (many) additional parameters, but they’re still ignoring the much more important question: how are they going to get this to run on anything other than the compute server they’re currently using.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a famous person or character's likeness is copyrighted and you need to license it to use it, could you find a real-life lookalike and say you modelled your character off of *that* person instead?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a disclaimer: I’m not an expert (or a lawyer) on the subject, but am interested in it and have done quite a bit of hobbiest research.

  From my understanding, you can, but have to be able to defend your claim in court. For example, there can’t be significant evidence that you were previously looking at the celebrity, and you obviously can’t use features specific to the given celebrity. That said, its going to be very easy to prove if you are the lookalike or are working directly with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally, terrorist attacks are more about creating terror or (attempting) demoralizing the public, rather than targets that would impact an ongoing war effort or similar. That said, that and “military strike” are not mutually exclusive and seeing as intentions are hard to prove, it tends to be more about branding than anything else.

  With Google, wasn’t the issue that they were on other devices, or were paying others to use their defaults or something? To be clear, I’m working from memory here, and am too tired to read a bunch of legal stuff to confirm one way or the other.

  You can’t have a platform dictate everything about how it sells merchant wise without having an antitrust involved.

  Didn’t the EU, who have some of the strictest rules in that regard, rule that walled garden ecosystems are allowed in their case against Apple?

  I do have an old mini-pc with an AMD A10 in it. Do you think that might work? If so, what sort of software should I be running on it, since even with its current Kubuntu install, it really struggles to run YouTube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any privacy-friendly options for shared todo list services?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy a PC decent enough for a home server - or really the space for that matter.

  Unfortunately, its really hardware-intensive. It uses ray-tracing, so it struggles to run even on my 5th-gen Ryzen, RTX3050 system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games meet this criteria?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m open to pretty much anything genre-wise, although I editted the post to narrow down the criteria a bit more.
