  • I could definitely see this with the map layout and whatnot. Obviously they’ve had the entire super Mario bros (+, 2, etc) series throughout their modern consoles but wonder really, to me, brings back the “woah look at all these new places” type feel back

    Say what you will about Nintendo but you gotta admit them keeping around this franchise and keeping it “hot” is pretty impressive




  • While I appreciate your view, I have to disagree.

    Becoming a sharer means more responsibilities, like keeping things up to date constantly. Get stuck in the hospital? Guess what? That new patch you automatically downloaded and applied? Turns out it opened up a new avenue and your IP address got hit by a random scan from some server hosting in Germany and was exploited to do xyz.

    I’m all for self hosting, but not without serious warnings to new sysadmins. It’s just not for everyone, for one reason or another.

    I think trying to deny or downplay that is negligent and harmful to what Lemmy and other self-hosting enthusiasts would want for their community/friends.







  • You know you bring up a good point, I was mainly thinking about the settings app when I had commented that.

    There are lots of “gestures” that most android users aren’t used to but I don’t think they’re particularly “hard” to pick up, but there is definitely “more” to pickup. Ultimately, my reason from switching over from only Android to apple were the invisible notification bugs that I was plagued by for 2 different Samsung phones, and the security vulns in android. Then again, these days, apple is starting to pick up more and more nasty vulns. Not sure how Android OSes have been keeping along



  • That’s not what strawman is but okay lmao.

    Anywho, and realigning the conversation away from being passive aggressive… (I don’t miss Reddit do you?)

    You specifically asked if returning a gift (tacky by many peoples standards) was worth learning a new (simpler) OS. Of course it is, not to mention the myriad of other reasons including security and privacy which you conveniently left out when posing an ultimatum of sorts.

    Nope makes sense, those are some pretty horrible things that people did. I can understand the poor taste you have left over in your mouth from that.

    Can we switch to something positive? What creative sandbox games have you been trying/enjoying lately? I’d respond to your post if you dm me a link!

    I’m sorry but many gaming communities are toxic, it has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with the troll farm forums and discord servers they setup with the express intent to troll.

    I will also concede that maybe Garry is a fucking toxic ass person, and that might bring other toxic people, but its no worse than a COD lobby. I care about the game itself which is a successor to gmod. That sounds interesting to me and I would be willing to spend a fair amount of money for the game (of course not AAA prices or anything near that so we’ll see how that goes. This youtube video does bring up that there are trolls out there willing to defraud and stretch the truth to target Garry. That’s apparently fact.

    Overall, game interesting, people who make game, less so. If I knew every head developer for any major game, I’m sure many of those people would fall into that category, cough cough blizzard. All I see here is Gary creating new, creative works which is ironically the exact opposite of the criticisms you had for gmod. I’m just trying to understand what your real core argument is and where I can go to validate that info before making a judgement on whether or not to buy a SANDBOX game of all games.
