The creepy/dark atmosphere is actually the thing that appeals to me about them! It's the platforming and puzzles I am worried about.

The actual interviews (for the Human Can Opener podcast) are great insights into both the making of the game, and the creation of the world by Kurvitz et al growing up. Really really good discussions and insights.

Zaum - The Inside Story focuses more on the time after Disco was released.

Both look really cool, but I am really not a big platformer guy so I'm unsure. Inside is 90% off on GOG though so might pick it up for a dollar and a half. Limbo is full price and even though it's just $10 I don't know that I'd like it enough. How hard is the platforming and the puzzles?

How good are these games? Are they worth buying before the delisting just to have them?

You should also watch the 41st Precinct interview with Martin Luiga, and Argo Tuulik in three parts [1, 2, 3], as well as the "Zaum - The Inside Story" in two parts [1, 2] if you want a grasp on the whole story. I still dream of him getting an episode with Kurvitz one day, but Luiga and Tuulik being the two co-creators of Elysium and both players from his tabletop sessions I consider these episodes essential listening.

I just finished Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree today, after having to go to bed last night in the midst of fighting the last boss and coming back fresh today. That second phase definitely took me for a spin, or at least it did my particular build. Maybe a ranged build would have had an easier time. It was still a cool fight though, and that first phase was pretty much perfect.

I had a really good time with this game. The Soulslike Metroidvania with a PoE style skill tree ended up tickling me juuust right. I love theorycrafting and making builds, and it ended up being amazingly fun in this game. There is some interesting synergy you can setup by mixing and matching various classes' skill trees, and I'm already thinking about a potential second playthrough. Though I'm actually equally tempted by going straight into NG+, as my Chaos daggers build with two teleport skills ended up being super fun to play.

I definitely recommend it, especially if you like these kinds of games. My playtime ended up at just over 40h, though that was with me exploring basically 100% and finding all the optional bosses. Not bad for a €40 game, and if you can get it on sale I'd call it a bargain.

I love KYLE.ENGINEERS. He pops out every February/March and lets me pretend I understand aero. Nothing better than mumbling "hm yes, vortices, I see" to yourself over a cup of coffee as you build hype over the coming season.

Is SubLinks still around?

I don't know that I think that's a 1-to-1 comparison. If you looked at this picture with no foreknowledge of where it was from or what it was like uncropped you'd think it's a perfectly innocent headshot of a woman. It's not like strapless tops or dresses don't exist, and the hat suggests she's clothed so there is no reason for the mind to jump to the idea that she's naked unless you already know it's from Playboy.

But I don't know, I might just not get it. I had no idea the shoulder was such a big deal so it might just be me there's something wrong with. I feel like I missed a memo. Which does happen a lot, to be honest.

Trump deregulating gas and paint to put lead back in both would be so unsurprising it won't even garner a reaction from me.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

The image has attracted controversy in recent years because of its subject matter, and many journals have deemed it inappropriate and discouraged its use, while others have banned it from publication outright.

Brother, it's a cropped image. Who the fuck cares where it's from? What are we upset about here, a bare naked shoulder? That's some Victorian era level puritanism.

Can we stop with the narrative that disorders that completely fuck your life up and make you struggle with things normal people do without thinking is somehow a ""superpower"?

I believe Gary Davis owned six J-200s over the years, and while he preferred the blonde finish this one is still a beauty.

  • Swipe gesture actions don't work in the inbox view. I often find myself instinctively swiping to Upvote and/or reply on comments in my inbox, but it doesn't work unless you click through to open the comment thread. Would be convenient to have them work right there in the inbox.

  • Automatically hide the default banner from the header of Subscribed, Local and All feeds. It's nice to have the Post View Header setting on for communities, but the home page feeds doesn't have banners so it's just clutter. Possibly also automatically hide the banner and/or icon for communities that doesn't have a custom one set?

  • Option to have left-to-right swipe act as "back" button on all screens, including menus. Would help using the phone one handed.

  • Option to have "Confirm exit or save draft" dialogue pop up when exiting a post/comment you've typed in but not sent. More convenient than manually saving drafts, doesn't automatically clutter your saved drafts like auto-saving does and still works as a safeguard against accidentally losing long unsent posts.

  • View "Remote Local" function - ie what the Local page looks like on an instance other than your home, but without changing accounts. Good for finding new active communities, especially on smaller instances.

~~Remote instance community browser. Basically just a list of all the communities on a given instance that you can click through. Another good way of finding new communities.~~ EDIT: I found this is already possible. Maybe make it more visible? I don't know.

 

It hasn't been the most active lately but with the recent influx of new users I thought it might be a good time to promote it. I'll try to make an effort to post more but no promises.

Very impressive turnaround from Brighton and Hurzeler. Curious to see who comes out on top in tonight's rematch.

 

Lemmy Federate är ett verktyg som hjälper nyligen skapta communities federera med andra instanser. Såg att vi inte är registrerade där, och det kanske vore en idé att signa upp? Vet inte om den arbetar retroaktivt men skulle i alla fall hjälpa nya communities här få mer traction.

 

It would be great to at least have an option for swiping left-to-right to work as the "back" button, even in menus.

Currently it only seems to work if you've got a post open. If you for example swipe left-to-right when viewing a community, the left side drawer menu with your subscriptions opens instead.

I personally find the back button a little hard to reach with my right thumb, and having the swipe to go back be consistent helps using the phone one handed.

  • Option to show user display names, including custom formatting and emojis. Example:

  • Option to show community display name instead of just the adress, example:

  • Option to highlight comments made the past 15 minutes (in lieu of highlighting unread comments, as I understand that's not technically possible)

  • Option for a clearer distinction on who is the OP of a thread. I often don't notice the small icon, and it's useful information to have for context. Some other apps have a colored background behind the username of the OP, which I find helps a lot.

  • Different font colour on the "(X new comments)" on a post to better draw attention to posts with new comments

  • Option to have a different font colour on pinned posts to help them stand out, especially useful for communities with lots of pinned posts, or to find stuff like announcements and weekly discussion threads in your home feed easier

  • Support for Atkinson Hyperlegible font as an accessibility option
