I deleted everything and I've not been on for weeks now. Good riddance!

I love GOG! They're giving away a free game and a free Cyberpunk digital goods pack currently for anyone curious!

I feel your pain 1000%

I tried for the longest time to get my wife, other friends, family, etc. to use Signal to no avail. Trying to explain Lemmy or Mastadon to them is like trying to explain the concept of fire to cavemen. (Not that they're dumb or even tech illiterate necessarily, I just don't think most folks care enough to bother with it sadly right now).

Zoro.to is my go to

I'd 100% suggest using a VPN as others have said if you're in the USA or any country with anti-piracy laws. Otherwise you're asking for a copyright notice in the mail. Don't chance it.

Yuzu and the other popular switch emulator, Ryujinx, may run better or worse depending on your PC specs--compiling shaders is normal on boot up but mine never takes more than a minute or two at most so an hour is extremely long.

Each emulator, Yuzu and Ryujinx, have varying performance with different games but run most games well.

Yuzu typically has games running better faster because the project isn't aimed to be a true simulation of the switch or super accurate like Ryujinx is.

You can checkout both to see which one you like of course.

I've been playing TOTK more, some Fortnite, and Street Fighter 6!

I'm right there hoping with you and I think this very well could be a big turning point as they'll be the first major player, to my knowledge, to incorporate anything Fediverse into their ecosystem.

My other big hope is that the process of signing up for sites like Lemmy, Mastadon, and other Fediverse apps is improved so that more people can navigate it easily. As you said, right now the UX is pretty bad and can be frustrating even for veteran users of the internet. My biggest frustration, like many, when signing up for Mastadon was trying to choose a server and the way the Servers page is structured made it ten times more difficult I felt like because it's just a giant list of servers that are sorted by category.

I think with a really great UX and simplified UI for the sign-up process that would go a long way to not turning people away. I imagine a literal walk through of the whole process, step by step, with lots of hand holding and tool-tips pointing to things in case someone gets confused.

I was already on Mastadon after Twitter's meltdown but still used Reddit until all this stuff happened. Deleted my Reddit account and haven't looked back!

As far as I'm aware, someone can correct me if wrong, but I don't think a plugin like this is possible as most of the sites likely have their API calls protected. So even if you got the URL you'd still need the authentication information and everything.

As others have said I'd recommend just setting up the AAR programs to automate downloading your favorite tv shows/movies/anime/whatever.

100% buy it and the upcoming DLC as well. You can get it on the GOG Summer Sale for around 60 bucks for the base game and upcoming Phantom Liberty DLC.

It's an awesome game and they've did tons of work to get it to where it needs to be. The upcoming DLC is supposed to bring even more overhauls to the base game along with the expanded content.

I bought it when it first came out and enjoyed it thoroughly!

Every year I try to revisit some game from yesteryear that I played as a youngster

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1-4, Final Fantasy X, Halo 1, Oblivion, Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey 98', Tekken Tag Tournament, and WCW vs NWO: World Tour are some of my go-tos!

I understand having a preference but I don't think they're that far apart myself. I use DDG mostly and find everything relatively easily

As far as I understand that's correct. I've got a solid junior level understand of programming LOL but ActivityPub acts as an interface basically where instead of the content being walled off to Instagram specifically this new Threads app should be accessible by the outside world (Mastadon, Lemmy, whatever else) through ActivityPub. Those apps would get the content through requests to the interface. So you could theoretically migrate your content just like you can on other Fediverse apps.

I've been rewatching and binging Whose Line Is It Anyway (the U.S. version). I forgot what a masterpiece this show was. It's an all time classic forsure!

Anyone else love this show or have any others they'd recommend?

I absolutely love X-Men and the animated series specifically! It's so good!

I'm so HYPED for this

Super excited to play this! It looked gorgeous from the clips shown during Xbox's showcase

I love mastadon and highly recommend it! I've had nothing but a great experience thus far

It was amazing! I can't wait to see where the series goes next--I'm hoping for another movie of some sort eventually personally
