Auster , (edited ) to Games in Games you fell out of love with.

The Rainsdowne Players would take the crown for me. Everything in it seems to evoke a sense of tranquility and innocent silliness. Also on a specific detail, despite technically being a rhythm game, it feels pretty loose on that, adding to the more relaxing experience. Also being a sandbox game, it felt neither too cluttered or with activities too sparse or repetitive.

As a second place, which I recently started and finished, Overseer by thestoff. Gorgeous and exploration feels good right off the bat, and the game didn't really feel unfair, at most demanding patience and learning, which the game seems designed towards, nothing feeling cheap after a little while. Also finding a non-souls-like metroidvania is always a plus in this saturated market. =D

Yet to play Elden Ring specifically, but there's also soulslike@lemmy.zip icon Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes if you'd like to crosspost there.

Slog through most of it, and underdelivered for what Ragnarök the myth is. Also apparently it must've been a trilogy, the Norse saga of GoW, but someone decided for cramming two games into one.

Auster , to Bluesky Social 🦋 in Can anyone recommend a bluesky instance without censorship or age verification that I can sign up to, that is federated with the rest of Bluesky? Thanks!
@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

Not ideal, but what I do is to set an account on some Mastodon service and follow @bsky[email protected] there. Also maybe I should investigate Wafrn, since apparently they have AT Protocol compatibility natively.

@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

There are fewer instances afaik, so the chance of finding more permissive ones is much lower. If you can, I'd suggest to self-host a compatible instance.

Auster , to Open Source in I started a Forum (leaving Discord) - would love if you would check it out!
@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

Wouldn't there be standard forums with fediverse integration, like NodeBB?

Auster OP Mod , to Defeat the Backlog! in Just finished Overseer: A game for when you want a marathon, not a sprint (review + spoilers inside)
@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

Thanks! Also if you'd want to play in your computer, the Playdate SDK comes with a tool for testing projects which works just as fine for playing them. =D

Dunno what the acronym PIE is, but going by the religious examples, vpol's comment makes me think, didn't a few names get from Hebrew to Latin through the Greeks?

@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

There's also NewPipe and its fork, PipePipe. Less connected services, but maybe it'd be of your liking.

Grayjay maybe? Connects Youtube and other services, like Rumble, Nico Nico, Peertube, etc.

Auster , to DeGoogle Yourself in What's your current situation with Google?
@Auster@thebrainbin.org avatar

Still depend somewhat, but aside from Google Meets, which I can use without account if I'm not hosting, I reasonably only need to log into it in devices and VMs that are usually turned off. So the least bad option, I think.

One idea, though I don't know the tools for that, is to configure at system level blocks against Google's domains and DNS's.
