Minecraft hands down. I’ve put more time into that game than any other in my life. I constantly go back to it, and almost everyone I meet online plays it or has played it. There is so much enjoyability from a game as limitless as that

69% of my games are played

Also nearly 15k hours of playtime

I did enjoy kbin more, but most the apps are for Lemmy specifically, so I moved specifically to use those on mobile

Time to pay off my debt to a raccoon and fish all day.

Definitely not a bad way to live. Talk to your animal villagers, the debt doesn’t have any interest and you could just never pay it and I’d get to just chill in nature

absolutely. Blizzard just had major layoffs to their Esports league, Epic had more than 800 layoffs, Naughty Dog laid off 25 or more developers and Ubisoft let go of 6 more employees after axing 60 earlier this year. and ofc the 9% of layoffs coming from CDPR this year.

The gaming industry absolutely needs union protections to protect their jobs, especially since a job should be steady income, not a volatile workload like developing seems to be in gaming right now. another benefit might be to making big execs actually have reason to listen to workers when it comes to cases of sexual harassment like what we’ve seen at Zenimax and Blizzard

from what I remember, the Ratchet and Clank online modes were fairly fun, but even when I played, they were fairly old and took like 20min to find a match

It’s been alright. I’m still having issue with the communities I want to follow, specifically certain games or franchises, either not having enough people posting or communities just not existing.

I still stand by my decision to not use Reddit unless I absolutely have to for troubleshooting issues, but Lemmy and Kbin are lonely platforms still and that hasn’t changed since I’ve joined.

I’ve also noticed how easy it is for a bot to spam and there is little to no safeguards around it. a week or two ago, there was a bot spamming a transphobic video to almost every community I followed so my feed was flooded. if a single account can do that, I can only imagine what a group of trolls could accomplish.

Absolutely! Fuck the Chinese government in its entirety

I’ve disliked realistic art styles for quite a while now. In the short term the games look beautiful, but in the long term, they’ll look dated. I’d much prefer a game having their own look and style to it, something that says “yeah, this is X game” just from a screen cap.

Look at JetSetRadio, Okami, Minecraft just to name a few, they’re easily identifiable because they have their own style
