Awesome. Finishing up XC3 (at about 175 hours). Plan to start FR sometime next month.

That game gets shit on a lot, but I’ve always enjoyed it. People don’t like it because it’s different.

Throughout the year I played:

-Secret of Mana (haven’t played in 15 years or so. Game still holds up)

-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (and the Torna DLC). The main story is fantastic. A bit quantity of quality with all the Blades.

-The Legend of Zelda: TOTK. This game is great. Ultra hand blows this game wide open

-Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Finish this one up now and about to start the DLC. Story IMO is the poorest of the 3 games. But they took the best of the first two game’s battle mechanics and improved that system.

Probably XC2. It was a lot of fun.

Agreed. The person you’re responding to thinks it’s good because most people are aligned with his/her opinions. It’s currently nothing more than a large echo chamber. A fresh injection of users will do Lemmy well for diversity of thought.

If you can’t trust Big Bathroom, who can you trust?

capital punishment in general is frowned upon nowadays

That’s a pretty broad statement. There’s about 8 billion people on the planet. I’m sure many still support it.

Two obvious truths on Lemmy: almost everyone here is anti-capitalist/borderline communist, and almost everyone has a huge boner for Linux.

The government makes a lot of things worse when they get involved. I trust them as much as I trust corporations.

Also stop the hyperbole. I’m not one of your fellow communist. Though I’m on Lemmy so I don’t blame you if you assumed as much. America is one of the most well off countries, and the standard of living is far better than most countries. Not all, but most. It’s far from a “shit hole”.

I’m usually not in favor of government intervention/overreach, but it’s not like corporations are going to do anything in our favor, and many people need specific medication to, you know, be alive. So +1 for the federal government.

I play on the Switch (until cross progression becomes a thing) so playing killer is a nightmare. Survivor is fun though.

I only play one online game (Dead By Daylight). Besides that it’s all single player games (mostly JRPGs). This year: Secret of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna The Golden Country, and Tears of the Kingdom. It was a good year. About to start Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I am. Played pretty hardcore between 2014 - 2016. Didn’t realize it was still going strong.

Is “worker owned” a fancy way of stating they are small business owners?

128gb at $1000 is a joke. I’m more or less done with high end phones. I won’t use most of the high end features anyway. Bought a mid range Samsung last year with a micro SD card slot. Stuck a 512gb card in it. I am happy.

The only reason I ever rooted my devices was because the stock rom lacked features I desired. With one or two exceptions, the stock rom now has all the features baked in. I don’t think I’ve rooted and installed a custom rom since 2016 or 2017.

My god, the memes that will drop when Android 18 releases. Now that I think about it, I’m surprised I haven’t seen any for Android 13 or 14.

I pay little to no attention to iOS. Wasn’t aware you still couldn’t do this. I remember a time I had to jailbreak my old iPod Touch just to get a third party browser or third party app store.
