People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author's name.

Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I'm aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.

Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.

Seeing mobile grow makes me seriously hope that console and PC stay relevant. I'd like nice premium otome to play, freemium drives me nuts, but worst comes to worst even if a freemium hellscape takes over and few to no console/PC releases happen, at least I can play my giant backlog of already-existing otome.

Another nice post from otome.com.

An article on the recent drama by a small website, https://otome.com/! I think I have promoted the site here before.

I typed in "ani.social" in my phone browser, expecting to see the normal Lemmy UI. Instead I'm confronted with the Alexandrite front end. I don't think I clicked anything to give me this front end; I think it's a total surprise to me, it's possible I'm an idiot who missed something and accidentally clicked a setting. Asking for help here after clicking around in more settings trying to figure out how to turn it off.

This after the delisting of such games.

Explanatory post, not a shaming post for those who like red flag LIs. Found this useful for anyone who wants to understand—I certainly read a lot of similar explanations from fans of red flags in otome during my time on Reddit. Also useful for engineering an LI for your own game 👀

Recommendations are at the bottom of the page.

Do any of these reasons resonate with you personally?

Essentially, Steam (check rule 15) and itch.io are getting rid of/delisting content that payment processors don't want to process. (It's mostly adult content.)

This website has more information on what will happen if you own a game that gets delisted, and how to get it back if at all. I would personally recommend downloading it and backing it up somewhere, especially for itch.io which is not listed on the website.

A video with link sources for its information in the description validates this. If you just want to click a link here instead of going to the video, here's one for Steam and one for itch.io.

If you would like to protest this, https://yellat.money/ works for anyone and Americans can take action at https://aclu.com/mastercard.

Please remember rule 5 and tag NSFW content as such. Discussion of NSFW's existence is fine, getting into details should be tagged.

Players will be able to toggle between the new and previously existing visuals of Minecraft with the simple press of a button, meaning a classic look can be maintained by those who desire it.

thank goodness, shaders are pretty but I am massively suspect to nostalgia bias and I do not want to dedicate performance to shaders if my computer cannot handle it

Thanks for your efforts!

Alright, went looking for active versions of the communities listed in that post.

  • [email protected] exists but is very dead
  • [email protected], but a lot of people have issues with lemmy.ml. I try to avoid it personally.
  • There are several Animal Crossing communities. The most recently active one I found is: [email protected]. There is also [email protected] and [email protected], both dead. There are a few more but with nowhere near as big a following.
  • And of course, [email protected], active, run by me (games about romancing dudes, aimed at women, community also currently allows amare games which are romance games aimed at a more diverse audience due to how they can overlap and how tiny Fedi is for otome and amare)

I also submit some communities for interests traditionally considered feminine, though I realize not all women would participate in these and other genders participate too. All are active unless mentioned otherwise.

If women post about these things here I highly encourage them to crosspost to the hobby community too. I am definitely not the only woman who isn't following this community. I don't plan to engage here aside from these two comments. (Nothing against you or other women, I don't hold "there is no patriarchy" beliefs, but this community does allow discussion on more depressing topics than I want to engage with on my online funtime, such as patriarchy and probably sexism.) I hope this proves a fruitful and fun place for the women who do subscribe to the community :) good luck!

Awhile ago, someone made a post listing communities targeted at women. All of the communities are now dead, since the poster listed only kbin.social communities and kbin.social went down. I did continue a community listed there at [email protected], but I do not know about if the other communities have been recreated on other instances. However, the reason I bring this up is because I think it might be useful to have a similar post here. Grow the Fediverse and all that.

I'm having a good time on a laptop with no fancy graphics card and have no desire to buy one.

I also do not look for super high graphical fidelity, play mostly indies instead of AAA, and am like 5 years behind the industry, mostly buying old gems on sale, so my tastes probably enable this strategy as much as anything else.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

I'd have to say thanks to SMAPI and Content Patcher for enabling so many Stardew Valley mods in the first place.

Also, Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack for allowing me to have a mostly bug-free experience playing Dragon Age: Origins. Mostly.

"In case you missed it"

I ABSOLUTELY did not know about that until your comment, where do you find out about these things? I am always down for charity bundles but I do not always know about them till it is too late. Bought this one.

I'm asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don't turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It's fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.

Too bad this guy's "checkbox insert" means it's probably (I might be wrong) an "omg gay people exist in my game, gross" complaint and not a "hey platonic relationships are important too, don't make every significant relationship romantic" for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.

Let robots that don't experience emotions or pain take away the dangerous, backbreaking stuff. Not the safe jobs people do because they love them. Whose idea was this in the first place? Why the arts anyways, I thought "starving artist" was a phrase for a reason, is there really that much money to be made here?

Is this a case of culture clash or me being oblivious, where an actual decent amount of people would think less of Visa for allowing transactions to go through with this? Because to me they just handle money. Never occurred to me they would take a stand against any kind of transaction that is not, you know, illegal or outright murder-for-hire.
