As long as the game is balanced and there are enough counterplays to camping, I’m fine with it.

Lemmy moment

I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

Almost definitely beehaw

I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.

Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

It’s not actually about being specific per se - it’s about overtly mentioning details that are already assumed from context. Grice’s maxims of quantity and relevance say that speakers only provide information when that information is important in some way and relevant to the discussion, so providing information that would otherwise be assumed means that information must be actively relevant to the conversation in some important way that warrants it being mentioned.

For me it’s anything I have to download an app to operate.

Minion boomer meme vibes.

“Framerules” in Super Mario Bros. speedrunning on NES is probably the most memed analogy for a (very slightly) more complicated concept I know of.

The game can only send you to a new level every 21 frames (about .3 seconds), so there are tons of levels where timesaves don’t lead to any benefit, because you have to save a full .3 seconds in order to see any benefit.

In the community, this has been explained with the same analogy so many times that “Imagine there’s a bus” has become a well-known meme.

So, imagine there’s a bus that only leaves the station every .3 seconds (21 frames). Because the bus only leaves at the times on its schedule, arriving early for the bus doesn’t get you to your destination any faster, because you still have to wait for the time the bus will leave. For this reason, any new time saves in SMB1 must reach a new “framerule” (get there early enough to catch the previous bus) for there to be any real timesave.

… you yeet them off a cliff in your “documentary”?

Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!

It’s a Lemmy thing, not just on jerboa. I just sort by “top day” to see the top posts from the past 24 hours. Once I’ve seen most of those, I switch to new all, which keeps a decent amount of new content coming through.

The platform is still young, so it’s a combo of a) not enough content yet and b) early sorting algorithms that paradoxically haven’t caught up with the influx of users yet.

Finally finished base Monster Hunter Rise and starting to work my way through Sunbreak.

It’s… fine. If you like Rise, you’ll probably like Sunbreak too. If you prefer the older style of Monster Hunter games, it’s probably scratch your itch just enough to leave you feeling uncomfortable.

Yeah, this really is a game that the story killed. The gameplay is tight and fun, and overall it’s a fun experiment in the series that was ruined by the creator of the series completely misunderstanding why people like Samus as a character.

I haven’t tried it on any platform, because I don’t support ActiBlizz games.

Perfect Dark. So much better than Goldeneye. My brother and I played hundreds of hours of multiplayer when we were young.

Customizable bots, awesome weapons with secondary functions, great maps, a great campaign - everything about Perfect Dark was amazing, and it will always be my favorite split screen game.

So they built a wall and are making the Belarusians pay for it?

Hopefully. It largely depends on how fast instances are able to scale up their infrastructure. There’s three weeks before June 30th, so hopefully there’s time to prepare for as many people’s arrival as possible.

Same here. RiF exclusive for over half a decade.
