Still grinding away at Street Fighter 6, and currently starting another run of the FFVII Remake!

In the Philippines, it’s Juan and Maria dela Cruz, although those have fallen out of use due to the popularity of Western (aka US) culture. Interesting reading about every country’s own names for their everyman.

+1 vote for the Dishonored games. If you want a quick showcase of what’s possible in this title or the whole series, StealthGamerBR is probably one of the best people to watch.

Same. I’ve stopped with Reddit since I’ve never posted there with my real name. No one knew me personally, and I didnt know anyone personally, so my switch to kbin was easy.

My real-life family and friends use Discord, Instagram, Messenger, Twitter, Viber, and WhatsApp, so I’ll continue to at least have accounts on those.

Part of the beauty and awe I get whenever I reread that famous excerpt from Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot is the sense of how ephemeral and delicate our existence, and even the very human concept of “existence”, is. We are infinitesimally small and yet, through no fault of our own, our days, how we fill them, and the people we know hold some measure of importance to us. And it will all be gone - eventually. It’s a very somber note yet it makes me feel a certain sense of peace.

“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”

I was gonna say, it looks like the only thing they don’t own when you say yes is your image and likeness, but they’ve probably already extracted that from your IG account too.

LOL. LMAO, even.

I like it because it helps break my Coke addiction.

EDIT: Coca-Cola* addiction

I bought the Mustang Alpha and Avenger Titan pledges last year and played for quite a bit. Ran around naked in the cold of New Babbage. Passed out and woke up in Brentworth. Suited up and did some mining with my multitool. Flew the ships. Did some fetch quests. Fired a gun or two. Blew up the ships (multiple times). Had a blast.

I really think it will take years at this point to get it to where they want it to be, but in the meantime I enjoyed how the players treated it seriously, and not seriously at the same time, if that makes sense.

BTW, there’s a pretty active community on !starcitizen@lemmy.ml.

“iusearchlinux.fyi” is one of the greatest domain names ever.

This is really cool, but yeah I’m hoping that a similar directory will exist for kbin down the line. I noticed when using the magazine search function here that magazines local to the instance get listed first which is fine, but there’s no way to sort the threads/comments columns by highest to lowest. Sometimes you just want to be able to subscribe to one community/magazine which is the most active for a particular category and not clutter up your feed, even if those are on beehaw or lemmy.world.

I made an account in Lemmy as well, so this is very useful. Thanks!

Yeah it takes a while to load and kinda bogs down the whole browser lol. Beautiful visualization though, a few big planets and lots of smaller ones in one Lemmy galaxy. Saved!

Retro handhelds have really revived people’s appetites for retro-styled games. There’s a lot of fluff on itch.io, but there’s good stuff there too.
