Not the best to any degree but just wanted to shout out the Pimps at Sea mod for Halo MCC that adds boats

Is Black Flag good to play if you don’t like or follow the over arching story of Assassins Creed?

I felt like it kind of pulled me out of other games in the series

Another one that came to mind is TF2. I like Titanfall 2 more than Team Fortress 2 but I associate the acronym with Team Fortress 2.

I wish there was an option to turn off link-only posts. At least have something in the body of the post. Maybe a quote or a TLDR. Otherwise it just feels like a bot posting.

I am not a fan. I don’t like link dumps. It doesn’t create a discussion and the article or whatever is being relayed might be total shit and there could be better or more direct sources.

If I saw a Hackaday article about a neat project on GitHub I wouldn’t just post the article with the original title. I would probably link the GitHub page and in the body of the post link the article with a quote and maybe post similar projects in case people are interested.

I specifically dislike the bots that repost content from Reddit. The communities they post to feel fake and end up receiving so many posts actual Lemmy users posting to them get washed away in the flood.

It’s not a big deal for some communities (ex. Nature photos) but doesn’t make sense for discussion focused ones.

I block those bots

Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

Fair enough. It is a lot more niche but it still becomes quite distracting.

Linkin Park’s In the End but the MIDI version

It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don’t think they’re necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

I think that’s a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don’t think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

That’s setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn’t delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

But that’s not what is being talked about. I don’t think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You’re talking like you’ve never deleted anything online

But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.

Most people aren’t going to put in the effort. If OP’s account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren’t going to see their older posts.

That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.

Reminds me a bit of DamonPS2 possibly stealing the PCSX2’s team’s code
