- Comment on Do boycotts work? 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can effectively boycott whole countries if you aren’t doing so on a country level.
Consumer level boycotts against companies on the other hand seem to work very well.

Kids these days don’t even know what memes are. For them webcomics and social media screenshots, even plain political ones without a shred of humor, are just memes. Everything is a meme now…

Maybe smaller titles should enable players to actively communicate times to meet.
- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 5 weeks ago:
I’ve come to the conclusion that you need to actually put something playable in front of a bunch of people who don’t know you, to properly gauge how compelling your game is. Ideally a vertical slice where with the necessary polish to convey the feel of the end product.
Let them play and watch. Listen to their feedback, but don’t put too much weight on it. Players usually can’t account for the limits of a prototype, even if it is a vertical slice. Also they usually can’t quite pinpoint what made them like or dislike something, but they will want to give you feedback. Just note what they say and try to figure out later what the underlying issues might have been. More importantly, you need to watch them play. Ideally you want a setup where there are a bunch of games, like at a gamedev gathering, or at least something else to do, where people can freely decide to play your game or not and don’t feel forced to do so. Seeing how they interact with the game on their own terms, seeing how long they play, whether they get their friends to play it as well, is the true litmus test.
To have a successful indie game, I believe, it needs to capture people on its own, just by it’s presentation and gameplay. And it needs to deliver such a memorable experience that people will recommend it to their friends and talk to each other about it.

Game developers hate players. They keep breaking our beautiful games and optimizing the fun out of them!

- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 2 months ago:
I listen to one weekly news podcast (Lage der Nation), that focuses on the most important topics for where I live, which includes big international events.
Getting an update on the relevant happenings once a week, feels way healthier than reading what’s going horribly wrong somewhere multiple times a day.
I had to unfollow and unsubscribe a bit on mastodon and Lemmy to reduce the amount of news I see there, but now it’s tolerable.
However, I still have to take breaks, when I feel my mental health isn’t up for it.

- Comment on You Are Witnessing the Death of American Capitalism (Benn Jordan) 2 months ago:
Absolutely! I feel like they actually have the opposite effect here in Lemmy. People seem to read the click bait title and just down vote without engaging at all. I might need to start tweaking the titles when I post them here.

- Comment on it's a war out there 2 months ago:
It’s an old WW1 or WW2 story. They were constantly trying to improve their planes and thus analyzed the returning planes to figure out where they needed more protection. However, as the story goes, they did not account for the fact that the bullet holes where only in non-critical spots, because the planes that got hit on critical spots did not come back.

There are people with imposter syndrome, who you wish would say more and then there are people with overinflated self confidence, who just won’t shut up.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 months ago:
The viewers aren’t the game masters, though. I honestly wouldn’t want to participate in a game where I have to retain the attention of people without giving them anything of value. I think at some point those who participate also need to take some responsibility.

Lovely, always great to read well thought out comments by people who took the time to try and understand what’s being said instead of going by the headline and their preconceived notions.
Also love the language, really makes me want to participate more in this community!

- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 3 months ago:
I recommend Radio Paradise! It’s an independent online radio stream with a great, eclectic selection and no ads, except the occasional reminder that they are donation financed. It’s honestly one if not the best radio stream there is.

I think this is a good definition: shitpost.urbanup.com/11938797
Honestly, I don’t understand people who post “normal” stuff here. Aren’t there more suitable places? Or is it to maximize reach or fake internet point gathering?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Yes, officially “everything goes”, but I feel something shouldn’t be considered a shitpost if it’s just something funny. For me a shitpost needs to be deliberately low quality and/or dumb in itself. This is just an arguably funny post, that I’d expect to find in funny or politicalhumor.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
not a shitpost

I had the same issue just a week ago after resetting my phone. As was said here I had to deregister my device in Google, because they didn’t know that I had reset that device. For Google it was a complete new device in my hand, despite it still being the same phone after reset. That’s why Google tried to make me F2A on what it thought was my old device.
Only after removing the old device in Google on my computer was I able to login on it again.

He has worked in TV for quite a while, so I would assume he knows what he is talking about. On the other hand, I can also imagine that he has become a little too perfectionist for his own good.
- Comment on I just finished Home, a lesbian-themed supernatural horror movie. It has bad reviews on IMDb, but I’m here to tell you those reviews are wrong. Despite its low budget, Home is actually a solid horror 7 months ago:
There are quite a few movies called Home on imdb, a link or release year would be helpful

Vin Diesel. He’s the driver obviously. Over the next movies he brings in his crew one by one until the furious and oceans franchise are one entity
