Never heard of Frostpunk, how’s the game?

I have really big hopes for this game, I’m worried to be disappointed. The character creation demo seemed good.

Glad to read this post, tampering my expectations for Jedi Survivor.

I’m currently busy with Fallen Order and struggling to push through it. Platforming is fun but (for me) the story feels a bit meh and the map is awful. Debating to put down Fallen Order and just jump into Jedi Survivor directly. Since people told me, it isn’t necessary to have played the first game.

Bit by bit playing HellBlade 2. The game is amazing however, the story and atmosphere is so strong (for a lack of better word) that I need downtime after playing it for an hour. It’s so dark and these voices gets to your own head sometimes, especially when playing with headset.

Recently started Warhammer Space Marine 2. A fun hack ‘n slash to just play after study, work or just general a long day.

Debating to purchase Persona 3 Reload when it is on sale. I played and loved Persona 5 Royal, clocked in 124-125 hours into it. I heard mixed stories about Reload, great character but lackluster dungeons and less social elements.

To many but the one that haunts me is “chaser”. A Korean movie about a serial killer who haunts prostitutes.

Why I remind it? Well, I watched it with my brother and when I got back from the toilet, he pretended to be some rando in a hoodie with a knife. Keep in mind, I was 14 and it was 11:30PM.

Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore

Then don’t and pay every streaming service, game and software.

If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.

The most pointless, baseless and factless argument ever.

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ? It’s a service we think it’s free but nothing comes without a counterpart.

If you genuinely think crackers earn lots of money through cracking games, you sure are uneducated.

“I’m sure it exists, I just blocked it because I personally don’t like it” - everyone on lemmy

Lets agree to disagree? Because you cannot generalize the entirety of Lemmy about this topic. Lemmy certainly has NSFW content which means it is not everyone that blocks it. Not only that, there’s a phrase that goes like; ‘‘be the change’’ or something like that. If you want NSFW content to flourish, then start a community like that and post it. Perhaps people might join the community and post too.

Communities outside of tech and politics are very very small and slow. Especially anything NSFW. There’s a lot of prudish and ace people in the current crop of lemmy users.

I genuinely don’t understand it. If you want sexual content and it’s not on Lemmy, there are other specific sites for that, right? Like I mentioned before, Lemmy itself is already a tech-based platform which means tech-savvy people will be more on Lemmy and that means lots of tech-talk. Politics will be big on every platform because that’s just a important topic in life. Life basically evolved around politics.

Not wanting to see sexual content does not directly mean someone is prudish, it just literally means they don’t want to see that kind of content now. Therefore people block it. It’s not that deep (no pun intended).

For example for me, when I’m on Lemmy I want to see; Tech, Piracy, some politics, bit of anime debate (non-sexual) and some jokes. Nothing else. If I want anything else, there are other places to visit.

You can call them out when you see it. This helps the community, but makes your personal experience worse because you’re always fighting.

You see doing this will make your own experience worse. They want you to engage. Just block. The community will know by the particular person behavior how rude the person is.

Maybe like there is risk involved allowing NSFW content?

I think the risk of getting certain unwanted content posted on it. Though, I’m not sure how it all works with the content that’s posted and the owner of the instance. Though there are certainly NSFW communities (I, personally, just blocked them because that’s not my jam).

For me personally, yes. But it makes the overall site worse. Like a tragedy of the commons almost.

I don’t think there’s anything to do against that but correct me if I’m wrong. There are rules already to try counter that problem but there’s only so much a community can do against it. Every platform has this particular issue (some worse than the other). The best thing to ‘fight’ against it for yourself is blocking the particular people and communties.

Do you want to see more normies on Lemmy?

I honestly just don’t care what kind of people are on Lemmy as long as they’re friendly. Those who are not friendly are just immediately blocked by me, so I don’t see their comments (behavior).

To comment on your comment;

If someone asks a question about an issue with Windows, I don’t need to see nothing but Linux evangelism

I’m a Windows 11 user and never had this problem. Sure there might be comments saying they prefer Linux overall but that does not make the comment section less-friendly. Overall when it comes to tech questions, I have had great help (Windows, RSS-feeds, Piracy and even just Prime subtitle issues).

There’s a disproportionate number of truly toxic people on here who love preaching about their particular fixation, usually political, usually far leftist (compared to the world at large).

So toxicity is on every platform, Lemmy too. Block those who are toxic and your problem slowly but steadily solves by itself. I once read somewhere to most Tech-savvy people tend to be more Left-leaning, which is fine. If you don’t agree with their viewpoints, thats fine too. Just ignore it. The problem is the more right-leaning a community becomes, the much more toxic it becomes. It becomes less about tech, debates and much more about hating ‘the other’.

I, personally, are more centre-leaning and had checked more right-leaning communties and oh boy - It was pretty much 90% hates, dislikes and not so friendly things about ‘‘the other side’’, ‘‘the other people’’ and such than actual useful debates and comments.

All of those viewpoints are fine, but in moderation and without vitriol.

When I just joined, I read that Lemmy is mostly for tech-people. So it’s obvious that more Linux, piracy and overall tech users are here. It does align with how people have to join Lemmy and setup their subscribes for communties and all.

I often enjoy arguing politics. But not everything has to be a crusade.

So that’s the major issue with Politics. People are just hot-headed and very steadfast in their political opinion. It’s obvious there will be lot of arguing and crusade. It happens on every platform (Lemmy, Reddit, X, Insta and you name it).

• Not sure whether ‘‘steadfast’’ was the right word, English isn’t my native langauge and kind of tried to translate the native word into English.

And for the love of Christ, I want more NSFW topics. Dating, sex, porn.

I rather not. I blocked NSFW content, there are dating apps and such. Sex and porn are categorized within the NSFW content.

I googled and checked seltzers, but unfortunately, I can’t try them because they contain alcohol (unless I found the wrong ones?)

• Quit nicotine several years ago and never went back (shisha, cigarettes and cigars).
• Quit porn because it had become a bad coping mechanism (still struggling with it a bit tho).
• Slowly trying to quit my bad eating habit (I see them as addictions). I don’t gain weigh, so bad eating habits happens.
• Slowly trying to quit my soda addiction.

I have this problem KissAnime shutdown and lost half of the list. Personally decided back then to do it manually on Excel.

Took a bit of time but very much worth it (imo). No stress of losing it due to shutdowns. It’s also easy to track how many shows you watched, dropped or want to watch because of the formulas you can use within Excel.

I’m debating to play ‘‘The Final Draft’’. I read its basically the same game but with a slightly more story regard the ending of the game. I did not notice/ know that;

I unfortunately never played any Max Payne games, are they worth to get into?

The gameplay is similar/ the same. You have a light and a gun/ shotgun. Though the game is much more about the immensely dark atmosphere, storytelling and characters played in it. Honestly the game has some great shock-moments. I played it in PC with mouse and keyboard and the controls were (butter) smooth in my opinion.

Don’t forget the very first Alan Wake was released in 2010. So the gameplay will feel dull and lackluster in comparison to todays gaming standards. It’s unfair to compare the two games due to the amount of years and technological advancements of today.

You can watch a video or read synopsis but you’ll do yourself a disservice.

EDIT: changed ‘‘fill’’ to ‘‘feel’’

If I ever purchase games, it do be Steam.

For me, personally, it’s more about the focus of votes vs actual discussion. I’m worried it would turn the tides and make people much more focused on the votes than actual discussion. It might make it echo chamber-ish.

I recently disabled showing votes on my side (through Voyager app). Even if I get downvoted a hundred times over, if I just get a respectful discussion with links to (trustable) sources. I’m all alright with that.

I rather not. If it does happen, I’ll just rss Lemmy and stop using my account. I like Lemmy the way it is because there’s not much focus on votes and more on actual discussion.

Whenever someone gives some good evidence, it gets removed almost immediately. Someone named “Linkerbaan” had two posts about this with actual evidence and it got twice removed.

I tried to search for the one where, I myself commented on and guess? It got removed.
