You just dropped a mind bomb on me. Suddenly things make sense :o

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

Sucks to be me, who relatively recently hopped on the train and is actually excited to see what happens after this saga.
When art cares only about being profitable...
Then again, I see what they were saying about overdelivering. How do i say this. When expectations are high, so is the risk. The more resources you put into a release, the greater the loss if it fails. Live service is all about momentum, and once you lose momentum, it takes a very careful hand to make sure everything doesn't fall apart. Bungie is not led by careful hands, it seems.

Interesting that it mentions this.
The layoffs are part of a larger money-saving initiative at Sony’s PlayStation unit, which has also cut employees at studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and its San Mateo office.
So it seems Bungie management was told by Sony to start snipping after all? I don't know what to make of this.
Also, crazy that Mike Salvatori of all people was let go. Maybe he can team back up with Marty now...

Very exciting. I somehow had no idea they even had a BC. I'm listening to these immediately

Or old books! I just love the smell of books in general.

Sorry, are you converting it, lossily, twice? That's like twice the lossiness! Just convert it once.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

It's a manual disable that Bungie enacted while they presumably fix some exploits or gamebreaking bugs. Guardian ranks have nothing to do with them being locked, just so you know.

Wow. What a show. I am so excited for the experiences DE has in store for both Soulframe and Warframe. It's crazy that we're able to have them for free. And i think that's very important.

(I actually expected a much worse reply) Nah I willingly interpreted what you said in the most extreme way possible. But in my mind there's something of a ceiling when it comes to noticable improvements in audio quality, especially when compared to visuals, and it's much lower than lossless. Besides, encoding is far from the only determining factor of audio quality. I think now, as discussed in other threads, the primary factor of ballooning file size is sheer quantity. We want more dialogue, more varied and adaptive music, more immersive soundscapes - and there's no trick to achieving this other than more content, meaning more disk space. Maybe one day we'll find an audio compression algorithm that will perform miracles, but until then audio still forms a significant portion of any game's install, compressed or not.

You really want lossless audio in games? Do you know how big FLACs are in comparison to OGGs? Could most people really hear the difference? Keep in mind the quality of the average headset or desktop speakers. I don't think any games store lossless audio. If they did, I'd bet they would be much, much bigger.

All good changes in my estimation! I personally can't wait to try buffed hand cannons in PVE. I never played D1...

Second one, pretty sure. Daggerfall, you have been assigned a mission but end up marooned in a cave...dungeon...
Though maybe I'm misremembering the premise, and you do actually start as a prisoner

That's one of the instances i considered first joining... I'm not sure why i decided not to, but dodged a bullet nevertheless!

I entered the url manually, like: https://lemmy.zip/c/conlang@lemmy.ml
For future reference, what's an easy way to federate with a new community without making a post !linking to it?
DaforLynx 1 year ago • 0%
I appear to be having trouble connecting to !conlang@lemmy.ml
I've never visited it before, though, so i doubt it's synced to lemmy.zip. if anyone could confirm...
FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=conlang%40lemmy.ml&page=1&limit=20&sort=Active&type_=All
Update: works when i click on that link! Just not when i try to visit it directly. Weird. Anyway, ignore this unless you want to parse that error.

Nah. It's hearsay that i didn't look too deep into. But thanks to some replies I've found out that Pleroma also has its own problems. And considering what I'm intending to use such a platform for - following other people and occasionally posting updates of my own - Mastodon serves this purpose well. Plus, it's reasonably popular now, so it's more likely that people have it.
Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What's the catch? *(I am not very experienced with the fediverse, having only just joined Lemmy)*

I did not know this guy did Rimworld. I know him as the guy behind Roller Coaster Tycoon 3's soundtrack XD
Which is a blinkin great soundtrack for what it is, btw
https://github.com/pret If you want to start romhacking, or are just curious about how the games were put together, there is no better time than now. Thanks to the efforts of pret and the open source community, every mainline Pokémon game up to Emerald has been decompiled. _I mean most members here were probably aware of these, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who didn't know these existed_ I think this community could serve as a great repository for resources on romhacking. If only because much information on romhacking is not very easily searchable, or old, or trapped in forums. Surfacing that info here would add value to this community. And if the instance goes down, at least federated instances will still have the info.

I believe it just means you need to retrieve the post via your logged-in instance. Basically make sure the URL begins with your instance. This is one of my frustrations. You click on a lemmy link but can't interact with the post unless you are logged in. So you have to go to your own instance and manually search for the post?
DaforLynx 1 year ago • 100%
Been using it for the past week, so I don't understand much. But from what I think I understand...This is my biggest worry with this platform. A community you create can vanish from its home instance when that instance implodes. It may be present on other instances, but you won't be able to administrate it. Your account with its curated list of subscriptions can disappear. Are there any tools or safeguards to mitigate this? An option to sync or link accounts across instances, for example.

I was just searching for such a community! Thank you.
After all, don't many platforms (or heck, browsers) render `.zip` URLs nonfunctional due to security concerns? Meaning our community.lemmy.zip links may not automatically hyperlink when we want them to, or it may trigger security risk popups. Whoops. Feel free to correct me.
Can anybody not in the instance I'm logged into see this post?
This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean. So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance: - The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems. - The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community *via the instance I searched it on*, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet. Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
