I already tried them out and made starter packs for Visual Novel developers and artists I like. I got a 500 error a few times while trying to add a user to a starter pack, but apart from that it works pretty well. Wish there were better filtering options for the search though.

Thank you! Seems like moderation actions on Lemmy seem to have no effect on how the thread is shown and boosted by the community's group account on other platforms. On mastodon.social at least, the reply is still boosted.

What S_H_K said, people have reported being rebuked for posting pictures without ALT-text and not CW-ing uncommon things like eye-contact or food, for example. One person notably received angry messages for posting about cutting their finger on a sheet of paper without CW. The worst accounts were of POC talking about racism they experienced and being told to put it under CW.

We've had this exact conversation in this community two months ago already, in case you want to back read the comments from back then. Nothing significant has changed

To paraphrase my opinion from back then:

• Easier onboarding, and a familiar, easier UX
• customizable feeds you can subscribe to + starterpacks instantly give you full timelines and people to follow (and followers, if you're in many starter packs)
• better discoverability, and therefore higher engagement
• stacking moderation and excellent security features (e.g. detachable quote boosts, "the nuclear block")
• many users who tried Mastodon first had bad experiences with "HOA"-like behavior and over-enthusiastic mods

I mean, I like Katawa Shoujo as well, but there's no need to be that condescending towards other games😅

The DS series was the peak handheld generation for me. I like that the console's design encouraged creative game mechanics, and it has some of my favourite games of all time. I have a DS Lite, a 3DS and a new 3DS, though I think the original DS line had the better game library compared to the 3DS. The camera and 3D effect were rather gimmicky and didn't add much value for me.

I think the game that best encapsulates what I love about the DS is The World Ends With You, a JRPG set in modern Tokyo that used both screens at once in its action combat system - to control two different characters. The character on the bottom screen would have you use touch gestures to trigger attacks, while you needed to do button combos to control the character on the top. It was insanely fun!

Other games I liked from the early DS era are Hotel Dusk, a detective game that is played in "vertical mode" so you hold the console like a book - and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, the original Japanese version of Elite Beat Angels, a rhythm game.

I also played all romance/otome games that were available in English for the DS, my favourite was Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side.

The DS figured out touch-based interactions way better than smartphones which are like the main touch-based "handheld" nowadays. That is because you could dedicate the entire touchscreen to gameplay input, since you still had the top screen to show relevant game information. Smartphones on the other hand need to utilize the entire screen both for input and displaying stuff, which just doesn't work as well imo.

I have already reported this community to the tchncs instance admins and they're looking into it. Got a response like an hour ago

There's a website

opening that site gave me 10 points psychic damage
