Yep! The second one

I watch a few, but the first worthy one that comes to mind is TBSkyen.

Let’s see who gets this one:

Find your 107 pals (if you bother to do it), build up your castle and go up against that psycho dude weirdly fixated with porcine epithets.

FWIW I just read the first book and while I found the world interesting I got tired of the book jerking the main character off so much.

I use the suscription feed, when I’m no longer interested in a channel I unsub and move it to my bookmarks so that I can keep track of it if I want to check it or even sub again for some reason. This way I have 2 feeds: a slow one (subscription feed) which I check daily and the home feed where the algorithm might recommend me something interesting if I want something else to watch. I might check that one many times a day or sometimes not check it for weeks or even months at a time.

I sometimes also unsub from channels I would like to keep being subbed too but they are just too spammy (e.g. Northernlion would just clutter my sub feed so I moved him to bookmarks and I still check him a couple of times a week).

As for the bell I don’t use it because I don’t like notifications for most things.

I think it’s what you say but since he took over the “he is doing it on purpose” theory has been grown and been repeated so much that he’s gotta be aware of it (especially with how too online he seems to be) and will probably endorse it in the future to shield himself behind it.

But if that logic held wouldn’t religion tend to increase instead of decrease?

It’s between Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden II. I think it goes to the latter.

+1 for jumping to Suikoden II. If you love it you can check III and I

EDIT: I tried the BoF and Wild Arms sagas years ago too. The one that stood the most to me was BoF4

deleted by creator

What’s your alternative?

EDIT: Oh I just found in the profile. It’s Brave. I used it for half a year before I got tired of the crypto ads sneaking into my home page’s links no matter how many times I deleted them and of some other stuff. I prefer Firefox’s UI. Also I don’t expect any browser to be 100% ethical but Brave is below Firefox in that list for me

No, I’m genuinely asking. Having read more books doesn’t make you better in any way, it just means you sank more time into them. But I guess I understand how some would see my comment like that, since there’s a lot of snobs and elitism among readers (at least, among the vocal ones)

I tried to import my books from Goodreads but it gives me a ‘413 Request Entity Too Large’ error message. I could import them to Storygraph a couple of weeks ago with no problem though. Does anyone know a way?

I don’t understand why some people have an issue with this but maybe is due to the way I have browsed Reddit for years, do with Mastodon now and plan to keep doing with Lemmy though I still haven’t finished setting it up. I like having different “home pages”, much like in Mastodon I can browse my following feed, the instance feed and the federated feed depending on the kind of content I want to look at that moment. Or all of them in succession if I want to check it all. When I was in Twitter I had to use lists to resemble something like this.

Reddit was even better for this if you took the time to set it up: if you suscribed to every single thing that caught your attention no matter your level of interest in it your suscribed feed ended up being clogged by the most popular subreddits among your suscribed communities, so you wound up missing out on some interesting posts in your more niche, slow communities. My solution was to only suscribe to the smallest communities where I didn’t want to miss a single one of the posts (for example staples like GameDeals or some other minor communities I was temporarily fixated into, like say a specific videogame or themed subreddit -I unsuscribed from those when I got tired of them). Then, slowly and naturally while I browse keep heavily heavily curating the general feed by using the filter/block function, getting rid of anything that didn’t interest me or wasn’t good for me (in whatever way you want to interpret it, for example filtering ragebait subs) or often innocuous big subs I was tired of seeing or whose whole shtick had grown old. The result was a smaller suscribed feed I could quickly check daily with the reassurance that I wouldn’t miss out on anything from those communities and a general feed that was always interesting to me but with the potential to show any kind of new community for me to decide to keep or filter away.

When I think about actually being in space I always imagine standing inside a space ship/station, putting my hand on the wall and knowing that like a meter or so away there’s deadly, pitch black, unending abyss. Just a meter of relatively fragile material separating me from virtually infinite death. It just feels so antithetical to human life (at least on an instinctual level). It kinda makes me think of cosmic horror too (in the subdued way in which it was portrayed in a good chunk of Lovecraft’s stories, not in the more visual and physical way it’s usually shown nowadays).

Mmh… I’d say King of Dragon Pass but the truth is that every half a year I see someone talking about. In niche circles but still. Let me check my Playnite list (only the ones I rated 5/5)…

Ok. At first I thought these ones would qualify: The Lion’s Song, one night hot springs, Tacoma, missed messages. But I’m pretty sure I just haven’t read in the right places, they are pretty big game in narrative indie circles I think.

Oh, I got it. These are my highly rated games that I don’t think I have ever heard (much less read) someone talk about:

• No-One Has To Die: A short scifi puzzle/visual novel.
• The Last Door: An Edgar Allan Poe inspired point-and-click adventure.
• Don’t Escape - 4 Days to Survive: A survival & mystery point-and-click adventure.
• Rebuild 2: A management survival game set in a zombie apocalypse. The creator who is called Sarah Northway I think went on to make I Was a Teenage Exocolonist which I haven’t played yet.

Now that I think of it, small RPG Maker games would also qualify. I really liked Dhux’s Scar back in the day.

By the way, if you want to discover lots of small games that no one knows daily there’s YT channels like Wanderbots and Splattercatgaming that dedicate themselves to try certain genres of indies. It really makes cognizant of how many games come out every week.

Shop Titans (played on PC). It’s just predatorial and I got caught in its addictive gameplay loop for every waking hour of 2 days. I’m lucky that it was only 48 hours (compared to other people) and that I hate playing on mobile unless it’s short sessions of non-mechanical stuff because it seems mobile is full of games like this.

My go-to for like 5 years has been StudyGE. It’s just a Geography game, but for the rare ocassions where I have nothing else to do and I don’t have Internet in my phone I go to it.

There’s also the trivia game Dilemo, though that is in Spanish and I think it might have some ads, it’s just that it serves them so infrequently that I’m not even sure if I hallucinated them. Like I think it only serves ads when you have been playing it for long-ass sessions, and I usually only play for a few minutes, so.
