    Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.

    You need me to save data somewhere but don’t want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it’s not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it’s free.





  • I 100% agree with accessibility features. This includes some of the newer considerations.

    • no-strobe mode
    • normalized volume mode (makes it so sound doesn’t spike up suddenly, sudden loud noises are not nice)
    • greater setting for subtitles, size, color, descriptive vs transcription. And keep ui elements out of the caption zones!
    • documentation written in simple language for ease of readability.
    • read back for all written content. Not just the first damn word of a text box. (Seriouly a lot of games do this now its this is just annoying!)

    I once saw a thing where a DM (D&D) had an anonymous survey of common sensitive topics. He’d gage what his players where comfortable with prior to starting a campaign and adjust the story accordingly. Games just need this.











  • I like games I can just pause and walk away from for a bit. Or just play while watching videos. So the hour counts are never really accurate. But I can safely assume in the past few years its Rimworld. It’s my game I can play while doing other stuff. But if I crank up the speed it’s engaging enough to focus on if I want to.

    Lifetime totals it may be Minecraft though, I usually go back to it every few years. The urge comes and goes.


  • I considered a simular answer, but realized I was given that same advice so often when I needed to hear it. I still ignored it.

    Much to our detriment. The "heart"often circumvents all logic and reason. Especially to our younger selves.

    Best we can do is try to instill a enough self worth that we become a little more stable. At least in my case I’d have been less willing to change who I am if I actually knew who I was.


  • I suppose it’s a bit more sensible for news related subs. The reddits ines sre likley using bots to find the news and post it, though such bots may not exist for lemmy yet and its just easier to scrape from reddit.

    But then I see somthing like the ask reddit sub on Lemmy. It’s just all of the questions none of the answers and no engagement at all. Some of the content is years old.Why does that need to exist? I can understand the idea of a reddit archive but why use lemmy for it?

    I’m also wondering about the ethicacy of it. I’m annoyed at Reddit for not allowing me to delete my old content. There’s a lot of folks threating legal action and such over reddit denying people the right to remove that content. Now we are copying that content. I assume without consent of those who’d posted it, and adding it to our own platform.

    Though perfectly legal, is that really a good idea? Is that what we as lemmy users actually want? does this actually improve the platform?
