I’ll play pretty much anything, mainly because games are just a way for me to do something while talking with friends, the game isn’t important.
Similar here but maybe from the other direction. I like to be a Discord cheerleader to whatever my friends are playing, unless it’s certain multiplayer games that we all play.
And with that one sentence, I’ve probably made clear my actual commitment to FOSS, lol.
PlateUp! was the hotness among my friends for like a month, and then it poofed as quickly as it appeared.
The cultural zeitgeist really baffles me at times, but I will say it did seem quite fun.
Blue Protocol! It’s been the kick in the ass I’ve needed to finally give language learning an earnest shake since it’s JP-only for now. And I have zero intention of trying Amazon’s neutered global release next year since I’m sure they’ll “”“localize”“” the lolis among other things.
I knew I recognized this artist. Ke-ta’s art is always so soft and inviting. ^^
That was pretty inevitable for a Canadian instance. I’m surprised things lasted this long.
I’ll take the boring answer and say it’d depend on the reviews. 🤣
I believe it was 999 on the Nintendo DS; I know I didn’t buy any of the GBA Phoenix Wright games and I don’t think I pirated them either.
As someone who moonlights as a Windows apologist (I use Linux everywhere but my gaming rig), this feels expected and doesn’t bother me much. It seems like power users can still get these options back by editing registry keys, which is pretty par for the course on legacy stuff. And I do think all of these options are for things that look dated compared to the streamlined look W11 is attempting to project.
Now, the circled ones are obvious no-brainer nice-to-haves that I will for sure be reenabling. But approaching things from the other side, I want to point out that the average LUser is pretty unsavvy. And seeing as mobile dominates the market share → “thought share” of OSes, I think comparing the way Windows does things to mobile makes it pretty clear as to why even having these options is going the way of the dodo for general users.
“Toy OS” is 100% correct, but that’s what people want for better or worse.🤣
Oh, but also my gut instinct tells me that removing “show drive letters” isn’t going to live past this beta “Insider Release” (YAY!™ branding! 🙂). That just feels like it opens up too much of a potential extra speedbump for over-the-phone support to be worthwhile.
I think the fact that we don’t punish based on the first infraction definitely helps with overall communication and transparency.
Much agreed. I’ve been on the other side of the moderator-moderatee divide before, and my main “contribution” was pushing for a more lenient infraction ladder during a rules rewrite. In retrospect though, I’m not sure I’m happy about having done what I feel is the right thing compared to having effectively pushed extra work on some very good acquaintances. At the end of the day, repeat offenders tend to climb the ladder all the way up to a ban regardless of its length, even if I’d like to think otherwise.
Still, I hope things work out well here; I definitely agree with the approach, at the very least in principle.
Neat place. I’m a fan of basically just sticking with the golden rule for general moderation policy. It does leave a lot of discretion to moderators which inevitably means someone is eventually going to get uneven treatment since we’re all just human. But even in places with nicely codified sets of rules, I’ve seen some high profile cases where the moderatorship (or rather, some “ardent” subset of the team) bends over backwards to justify their position irrespective of the rules. Enough to make me question what the point is, for most use cases anyway.
Having said that, I personally rarely run up against moderation since I mostly just lurk. I’ll try to do slightly less of that latter bit here. 👋
If you’ve already written it up → it’s no extra trouble for you, I’d skim it.
From what I’ve seen between resources so far, it feels like the ultimate truth is that the hours put in matter a whole lot more than the minutia of how they’re spent (within reason of course). So I’m not sweating things too much beyond having the discipline to put in the time each day.
