Had the chance to play the demo at gamescom and talk to the devs. the game is both really beautiful and fun, really looking forward to it!

kindly use /s next time please^^;

According to this article by Rock Paper Shotgun, they have connections to known fundamentalist and conservative groups.

Collective Shout is run by christian fundamentalists

Payment processors should not get to police what kind of legal transactions people use their services for. No matter how much you dislike the particular product. And especially since they have an effective monopoly. If we let them go through with this, it would open the gateway for them to enact the kind of control over our consumption that should be exclusive to elected officials.

game jams and indie games. there’s no fee for publishing your game there, so it’s the go-to place for indiedevs

I’ve been curious about the story since they released the current alliance raid series in FFXIV which is a FFXI crossover. Would love to try it if there was some kind of combined subscription.

That could be the case! I do follow my lemmy-account from mastodon, (and the communities I mentioned as well).

This is a neat overview!! I like to federate my posts from microblogs as well, and did some tests.

Here are a few of my notes:

Viewing communities (from Mastodon) - that kind of depends? All communities I follow show up with their posts intact on mastodon (.social), but not when I use a different instance (e.g. mastodon.de) or software (examples: RenPy, Otome Games)

Viewing profiles (from Mastodon) - That also seems to depend on the instance. For example, here’s my profile as seen from mastodon.social. Viewing it from my Mastodon account, I can see all of the original posts and replies.

I use Mastodon and Goblin

You could try of The Devil! It’s an episodic indie cyberpunk courtroom mystery game and the first episode is free. (also i’ve been obsessed with it lately and need more people to talk about it pls pls pls)

When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited 🥰

There already is an alternative community at c!finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world so I guess we should move there unless there’s a reason against it.

Infinity Nikki! It’s probably my new favourite dress up game (dethroning FFXIV)

I already tried them out and made starter packs for Visual Novel developers and artists I like. I got a 500 error a few times while trying to add a user to a starter pack, but apart from that it works pretty well. Wish there were better filtering options for the search though.

Video games are part of our culture and reflect our society the same way as movies, books, and other media. And, like with old books, preserving and studying old games allows us to understand the environment and time in which they were created, as well as the concepts and ideas that they drew upon, or that newer games drew from them.

The itch devs plan to add a negative AI filter to the UI so that users will be able to hide all content that uses genAI.

Except for that, there are community guidelines that forbid spamming low-effort AI content.

AFAIK projects that use AI will not be suppressed by default as long as they are properly tagged, if that’s what you mean.

What S_H_K said, people have reported being rebuked for posting pictures without ALT-text and not CW-ing uncommon things like eye-contact or food, for example. One person notably received angry messages for posting about cutting their finger on a sheet of paper without CW. The worst accounts were of POC talking about racism they experienced and being told to put it under CW.

We’ve had this exact conversation in this community two months ago already, in case you want to back read the comments from back then. Nothing significant has changed

To paraphrase my opinion from back then:

• Easier onboarding, and a familiar, easier UX
• customizable feeds you can subscribe to + starterpacks instantly give you full timelines and people to follow (and followers, if you’re in many starter packs)
• better discoverability, and therefore higher engagement
• stacking moderation and excellent security features (e.g. detachable quote boosts, “the nuclear block”)
• many users who tried Mastodon first had bad experiences with “HOA”-like behavior and over-enthusiastic mods

No, @hitagi@ani.social was correct, the post originally had a typo in it, which I fixed after I got corrected through an earlier comment, but the replies don’t seem to federate properly 😅 Also yes, Taittsu seems to be an intentional pun on Twitter
