Good to see some player opinions on Triangle Strategy. I’ve had the game on my Switch wishlist forever, hoping to snag it if it ever went on sale or I cleared some of my backlog. Now I’m not even sure I want it if it doesn’t come close to the greatness of FF Tactics.

I never understood the praise for Octopath. Even though they were technically intertwined, it almost never felt like the characters were interacting with one another; it felt like they were just monologuing and not actually conversing. It didn’t help I hit a huge difficulty spike at the end because I didn’t level up my characters the way the game wanted me to and couldn’t continue.

Same here re: Ubisoft cookie cutter open worlds. I LOVED the first ~40 hours of Immortals and thought I was approaching the end until I realized I was less than halfway at the rate I was progressing. I have no idea how length estimates like the ones on How Long to Beat are accurate for this game; usually they’re pretty spot on for my “complete what I find fun and interesting and not much else” play style. I gave up on the game after briefly skimming FAQs to see what I had left.

Final Fantasy 15. I’ve never been a fan of the modern (post FF7) games but fell for the hype around 15, purchased it, played it, actually finished it constantly wondering when the game would suck me in, and was left wondering what all that hype was about. The game had literally nothing I wanted in a JRPG as I found the story bog standard and the combat and traversal piss poor. That game officially made me give up on Final Fantasy since the only recent-ish game I’ve liked is FF Tactics. Make a sequel to that and I’ll reconsider.

I’m going to be the voice of dissension. I absolutely adored Limbo and bought Inside day one solely because of it. But Inside just didn’t hook me like Limbo did. Inside was perfectly fine but I never gave it a second thought once I finished it, unlike Limbo.

Me neither. How long till old.reddit.com goes away? That was supposed to be the next big spike in the Lemmy growth curve.

I can’t believe I read that whole thing. I take that back, I can’t believe Reddit actually thought this was a good idea and put it out into the world.

I spent more than $20 on a pizza the other day. Considering the many hundreds, if not thousands of hours, I used Sync for Reddit over 5 or 6 years, $20 is a no brainer. That said, I wouldn’t pay the $100 lifetime considering because I don’t need the perks associated with it and who knows if Lemmy will be around that long (I hope it will but you never know).

No joke, I felt like a luddite after trying to click the “X” in the upper right of an embedded tweet to close it earlier this afternoon on my laptop.

Whoa, I didn’t even notice that the community keyword search actually worked and does so across instances. Thanks for the heads up!

I was very happy with Voyager which is great for a PWA but I’m in utter awe at how good the Sync beta is. I was expecting a minimum viable product that still needed a lot of updates but it’s amazingly polished from the start and basically works exactly as the Reddit version did. It’s always good to have options and I’m glad the Lemmy app scene seems to be flourishing.

A doge themed icon? That idiot really is slurping up Musk sauce and emulating everything he did with Twitter.

I’m the weirdo who had 3 different Lemmy apps on his phone trying them all out to see what worked best for me and Connect was definitely one of the ones that stood out. Keep up the good work!

Whoa, Sync has been my most used Android app for the past 5 or 6 years and I never knew the origins of its name. I just figured naming products is harder than most people think (trying to be original and memorable) hence the basic Sync moniker.

r/NBA was a mess at the best of times but at least it didn’t have that idiotic Twitter requirement that r/NFL does for news posts.

That said, I hope Lemmy sports communities start becoming popular. I don’t need every post to have 10,000 comments but a solid discussion would go a long way towards keeping me off Reddit for good.

Me: “Man, why is someone tempting us with a screenshot like this.”

Also me: “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”

Day 1 purchase when it comes out. I can’t wait!

I was using Reddit mobile to follow some interests that don’t have any communities on Lemmy yet and noticed the obscene number of awards on that ad. How in the world did that happen?

I’m really enjoying seeing the Lemmy communities I follow grow noticeably in just the past few days and hope people stick with it.
