Forgive my ramblings, but here’s the main differences I see, from a community perspective:

Bluesky’s for people who loved twitter circa 2015
Mastodon’s for people who loved the format but hated the way the platform made use of it. The community is FOSS-focused and anti-corporate.
Bluesky folks are anti-corporate, but they still want their social media to be on a single platform and tend to dislike federation
Mastodon folks tend to be in smaller circles and more tech enthused

Features-wise, Mastodon kills the algorithm in favour of chronological timelines and lists, while Bluesky embraces algorithms, allowing people to even make their own algorithms for the platform. Bluesky’s AT Proto uses “DIDs” to identify users, which are associated directly with a domain^[1]. This means that when federation does eventually happen, usernames will just be @my.domain.com instead of ActivityPub’s @actor@my.domain.com.

Federation’s still not enabled so I have no clue how things will look and feel on that front, nor am I familiar enough with the protocol to make any claim about how versatile it is. ActivityPub is flexible enough to be a Twitter clone, a reddit clone, a blogging platform, a youtube clone, a twitch clone, a goodreads clone, or several other formats. AT Proto’s currently only proven to work for a Twitter clone.

I beat Kingdom Hearts 1 last week, so this week I’m doing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories! I think I’m about halfway through now, just finishing floor 12 I think, but the battle’s been rough on me to say the least. I think I’m gonna need to grind up some cards and levels today to get past it.

Unity: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON’T KNOW THE FULL STORY
Devs: You’re charging us based on how many times a game gets installed and reinstalled, or opened in streaming services?
Unity: Oh so you do have the full story. What’s wrong with that?

Plainly, whoever’s at the head of this doesn’t understand developers or the industry, and is likely refusing to listen to their subordinates.

X/Tweet/thing from Stephen Totilo

NEW - I got a major update from Unity about their new fees

• Unity “regrouped” and now says ONLY the initial installation of a game triggers a fee
• Demos mostly won’t trigger fees
• Devs not on the hook for Game Pass

This is a truly pathetic attempt to save face. Fuck Unity, its now proven definitively that they cannot be trusted for current and future projects. The only thing they’ll learn from this is to not be so loud about these sorts of changes.

This is a Lemmy instance, I’d recommend posting Lemmy-formatted links (!game@instance.xyz) here, and kbin-formatted (@instance.xyz@game) links in a kbin-hosted instance.

Stop with the doomerism.
“Lemmy is losing users” -> Lemmy has a stabilizing base of communities developing their own culture after a great exodus from several centralized platforms. Original, high quality content is finding its home here as users engage with one another on thousands of federated, interoperable, transparent websites.

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:

I did edit it out, I didn’t realize they’d deadnamed her and while I’m fine with relaying drivel, I’m not fine with perpetuating deadnaming

It’s too funny, I can’t stop laughing at it.

• Majora’s Mask: a 3-day timeloop where everything resets when you go back

• Katamari: A giant ball gets rolled around and collects stuff forever

• Baba Is You: Movable text is rules to the game

• Untitled Goose Game: You have to piss people off the right way

• Billie Bust Up^[unreleased]: Musicals tell you upcoming platforming challenges

• Celeste: every time you die you quickly reset on the same “page”/small tile of map

• Splatoon: you shoot at the ground to go faster, hide, and/or win

• Odama: real-time tactical wargame pinball

• Golf Story: Golf-based fetch quests

• Astral Chain: asynchronously control a companion in combat

• Okami: paint skills on-screen in combat

• Astro Bears: Snake but in 3D

• Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime: Up to 4 players pilot parts of a ship together

• Pokemon Ranger: draw circles around monsters to catch them

• Viva Pinata: breed pinatas to create new species

• Spore: create and evolve a creature

The ruling was that “fictional” abuse material was legal because it was an expression of free speech. Courts have thus far unanimously agreed, however, that generative AI doesn’t constitute authorship. Under the same principle, generative AI should not constitute protected speech under the 1st Amendment.

It’s available on github too https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android/releases/tag/v0.1.6

I’m with you there

What’s wrong with Usenet? Sure there’s not a ton of users, but that’s a good thing.

I’m aware, but it’s still supported, and that’s enough for me to vomit over a garbage product.

They say they won’t implement Google’s DRM but words alone do not matter. If they continue to use Chromium, they’ll be forced to adopt that and manifest v3.

I’ve not played enough of the other FF games since 7 to say with certainty, but FF7,12,14, and 15 were extremely explicit political dramas. That was their entire plots

It doesn’t, unfortunately. Programmers, animators, concept artists, designers, each need to unionize in order to leverage collective action grants at the bargaining table. With last week’s decision by the NLRB though, it’s certain to be easier than ever to get unionized. Still, the amount of coordination it gets to even petition the NLRB to have your union recognized is no small feat. Just now it’ll be that much more difficult to bust a union election
