I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.

I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.
I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.
You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.
I use Boost and it seems to be able to do at least most of the moderation actions needed, and it supports notifications. I think Summit, Connect, Sync, and Jerboa are also good but I haven’t used them too much.
something that didn’t get mentioned but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1639#issuecomment-2172090390
I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480
it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!
there is an in-progress proof of concept here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695
if you have a Github account you can “subscribe” to that to get email updates about it
In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.
this should be interesting
for reference, this is what it looks like on Mastodon, the post to !announcements@lemmy.ml it gets the hashtag for announcements
https://mastodon.social/@dessalines@lemmy.ml/112576601493225058
it’s not really part of the message text, it’s separate
image proxying also sounds good
In the user settings there’s an option to export everything to a file, then you just import that file into your other account
That would make community names a bit longer so they’d be more annoying to type and share?
Most niche communities (with some exceptions ofc:-) here aren’t as active as they were on Reddit, so many of us end up spending more time in the generalized ones - e.g. !technology@lemmy.world rather than specific ones like r/OnePlus or even r/Android.
I think we need to get better about crossposting to multiple communities. You could post to all 3 of those.
I filed an issue on Github for you
IDK if we’re really missing any software features, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity for a Lemmy plugin
I think that’s https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4623
which is part of the milestone for v0.19.5
Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform
A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.
I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”
I’m still most excited about the ongoing work on plugin support
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4695
would you say this belongs in the 0.20.0 milestone? or is it too soon?
Oh that’s really dumb
Maybe they should’ve rushed it instead of delaying it lol
Just saying it’s an easy one to start with to get familiar with the system
And yeah it could be used to verify “tags” in the title, or require you put the year for something like a movie title or game, like (1993)
also my comment kicked off a little discussion in here, so that’s nice too
a pretty simple plugin idea would be a regex to validate post titles, deny the post if the title is invalid
I might try it unless someone else beats me to it
I guess to start with it could be a config file with a dictionary of community name: regex
and later it could be made to use the database with an api to set the regexes, could even allow community moderators to set their own regexes (might need a maximum regex length, maximum number of parenthesis/groups in the regex pattern, and disable lookbehind/lookahead, for performance reasons)
Then they aren’t using it properly
Or use Cloudflare (properly)
