I’m also here:
The operators of «Archive.Today» do not open their identity. Neither an impressum nor a data protection declaration can be found on the website.
I won’t link to it, but the owner has been thoroughly doxxed, and his name and contact details are freely available in search engines. He’s very likely a Czech guy of Russian descent living in the USA.
Yeah, I still regularly visit Reddit because communities related to my specific games (GW2, Genshin) or countries (UK, Hungary) seem rather dead on Lemmy.
Also more story-based forums like AITA, TIFU or HobbyDrama, and of course my favourite, BestOfRedditorUpdates (whose Lemmy equivalent would need several active story-based communities to curate from).
Still a long way to go for Lemmy to completely replace Reddit for me 😮💨
Oh I forgot about Oxenfree. Yeah, the story and voice acting were quite good, but the game had so many annoying design/UI decisions that it left me frustrated more than anything else :c
Gone Home - when I finished the game I was legitimately sad that I couldn’t spend more time with the people whose lives I got to know so intimately from their environments. And yes, they didn’t feel like characters anymore, they felt like actual people. That’s one of the highest praises I can give to a game’s storytelling.
Thanks! I’ll eventually give them a try…
Are any of these a smooth transition coming from Adobe programs? I really don’t want to re-learn my entire workflow in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
I only pre-order Guild Wars 2 expansions, as it’s my favourite game and I know that whatever I get, I’ll feel that it was worth the money for the thousands of hours of fun I’ve got out of that game :)
But I wouldn’t preorder anything else - I have a massive Steam backlog, and a few years after release I can get the properly finished, patched version of games with all the expansions for a fraction of the price (+ all the mods and community resources that had time to develop and mature). Last year I got Witcher 3 for like 90% off lol. No need to rush, there are so many older games I haven’t played yet…
Btw I was a r/patientgamers member for years, I see that they also have a community on Lemmy :) https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers
Good, fuck gacha mechanics (saying this as a Genshin player lol.) A guaranteed 5* character costs 400 USD. (Would be ~356, but they don’t let you buy exactly that much virtual currency.)
Switched to Ente Auth when Authy stopped having a free desktop version. What if I lose my phone? I want both my devices to have access to my codes.
I’m a graphic designer, and it could be interesting for working on CMYK files and actually see them as they would look on paper.
I’m using whichever is the freshest version BakaBT allows (v4.5.4 right now).
Not only copycats, but there’s an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.
My main game for the last 1-2 years has been Genshin Impact, and a cursory googling says that it does use kernel level anti cheat.
I never tried Linux, but I consider it every few years. However if I weigh that
there are simply too many factors that would make Linux to be more hassle, have less performance or downright impossible to serve as a substitute for Windows, while for me personally not really offering any practical benefits over Windows.
Not that advanced, but two things I found useful:
For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that’s pretty much it.
By this point who in their right mind would willingly enter the USA…
