VRChat is an option. Takes effort to make your way to the cool people tho.

It sucks that religion is so fucked up broadly. We should be able to feel this way about all persons in similar positions as her.

If you have a Quest you can return to Castle Wolfenstein in VR.

VRChat is still slowly growing in the background.

The metaverse that was the hype you despise isn’t the metaverse people in VRChat want. Mark really destroyed the term.

I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.

I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.

When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.

And when you don’t have an algorithm filtering these for you… well, then you get the reality of other people’s interactions. Twitter just optionally hides this reality from big accounts. (I’m talking about what they use to label “low quality replies” or something similar.)

The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.

They want an algorithm.

As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.

As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

They are doing good! They just had their 17th birthday!

Best internet cat.

It was already in bad health. That’s not a good combination with COVID.

It would be neat to know precisely what parts are expensive. Broad generalizations about how prices on goods go up and down aren’t quite as interesting. 😅

It’s a small lemmy.world.

Sounds like someone needs to make a community for that.

Otherwise, this is what technology is these days. And I’d say that staying blind to things like this is what got us into many messes.

I remember when tech news was mostly a press release pipeline. And when I see these comments, I see people who want press releases about new tech to play with.

Now duplicate posts. Those can fuck right off.

The updated graphics do look super pretty. This is a classic, and if this keeps new people playing it into the future that’s awesome.

I think of remasters/remakes like this like I do brand new 4k HDR remasters of classic movies. Since they are shorter focused narrative games.
