gamedate.org really deserves to be promoted around gaming communities way more than it currently is!

So many older but still online shooters could be somewhat revived (even if only briefly), would love to play some Day of Infamy with a full server again!!

Thanks for those!

Yeah seems to be much closer to that FB design than what I remember with Friendica. I tried it about a year ago and moved on from it pretty quickly, same experience that it just seemed buggy and slow.

I’ll keep an eye on Fedibook, thanks again!

Never heard of Fedibook, nice I have something new to research, thanks!

I just recently moved on to Misskey/Sharkey to replace Bluesky and X for myself. Signal is the next one I need to look into a lot more as I still use FB Messenger and need to get away from it

Hi! No not at all, at least for me on both devices (Skyline and S25) Blorp ran great! If I get bored of Summit I’ll immediately return to Blorp ☺️

I’m a pretty geeky IT person, who is trans, watches anime, reads manga, and plays WoW.

Yeah I’m basically a walking stereotype at this point 😅

Okay I just reread your post, as I missed the bit you mentioned about instances like blahaj hiding the downvotes.

So a couple of questions for you.

You mentioned the communities aren’t on the instances that hide downvotes… Are these communities that live on instances that are not federated with for example blahaj.zone?

And also, you mentioned that instances that are hiding downvotes is also not a solution due to the downvoter and others still being able to see the downvotes. So I ask, why is that an issue for you? Why be worried about fake internet points that aren’t even really tracked here (unlike Reddit for example), that you can’t even see? Actual engagement in discussion between people is far more important no?

Orrr, move to an instance that has the downvotes disabled. They don’t exist if I can’t see them ☺️

This resurfaced a really old memory from when I was like 8 or 9 maybe.

We had a homework assignment (kind of) for school, where we had to go out and pick a star from a spot in our backyards or wherever, and then for each night over 2 weeks we had to track the stars position relative to our position we chose on night 1.

This was around the late 90s by that point, and I always thought it was pretty cool to get our young imaginations going on the stars beyond ☺️

Not sure if it’s available on F-Droid or not, but I’ve been using Summit lately and absolutely loving it. Blorp was my previous favourite, but I prefer the bit more modern and clean UI of Summit.

I did try Jerboa about a year ago when I first tried Lemmy, but quickly dropped it due to UI/UX issues I was experiencing at the time, but I would personally just stick with Blorp if it was between them.

Voyager was another I tried previously. Earlier I tried on my other phone (HMD Skyline) and consistently had performance issues with the app (long load times, occasional crashing, janky scroll). When I got my S25 I thought this would be solved with the more powerful device, and while it was much better than before, I still had performance issues.

Hope this helps a little!

This is my biggest thing I need to change in my life currently. I’ve been told so many times now that the weight I’m holding on to is most likely still due to the soft drinks and sugary energy drinks I consume way too much of

At that point, why go for ‘similarly advanced’? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to target intelligent life that has far outdone our own technologies?

We would probably have a better chance at real communication with them too

You dont, hence why only a lower limit could be established with a single frame capture.

Basically like saying “if we only got 1 frame, then it must be going faster than x mph/kph”

Hahaha just finished watching, that was great! Thanks for sharing 😊

2min 5second battery life… totally worth it! Lol

Ah good point!

Yeah I’m leaning towards the IPS instead of the OLED. Can’t wait to get Pokemon Yellow cranking on this thing again 😄

This is what I originally had in mind! I might do case too if I can find a Kiwi Color especially! I already have one original Kiwi Color, but I would love to have a second but with this screen.

Did you consider the OLED option?

Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn’t be looking for an OLED for the Pocket though, I would only consider for the Color. But I do like the idea about the battery regardless, thanks!

Thanks! I’ll check out your blog 😊 I didn’t consider OLED displays, but that would definitely be cool!

I thought about this too, but this is actually a secondary one. I also have a Kiwi coloured GameBoy Color put away which is staying exactly how it is

I’m actually super disappointed I couldn’t find the other THPS and Crash titles! I knew I had them growing up, but they must have just got lost over the years I guess.

So when I found all these games again, I was actually looking to see if I still had my copies of FF8 and any of the Oddworld games. I was super surprised when I came across the rest haha

It potentially may have been my last one as well. I got it a bit after the PS2 launched (I never owned one, and kept playing my PS1 instead during high school).

I don’t have much other memory of that game other than just cruising around haha
