Not sure about the upcoming months but I felt like 2024 started off with quite a few games coming out one after another, including Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch and Dragon's Dogma 2.

And Manor Lords is coming out this month as well.

I'm on POP!_OS. I'm sorry to hear it doesn't fix it. :( I wonder if a recent update caused this.

I've been experiencing something similar lately and what I found helps is to go to your audio settings in your OS and change the audio output device to something else and then change it back to the correct one. If it doesn't work the first try, try again.

I hope that helps. It works for me. I never had this issue until recently. It's really annoying. :-/

Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?

I was wondering why it looked different from some of the screenshots I see here but when I play on mobile it's just an endless list that gets bigger and requires a lot of scrolling. Switched my browser to desktop mode and now I can see you can drag and drop stuff. These types of games are so simple but so addicting. Ahhh

Thanks for the tip! Checking it out right now. Does it also work if my mobile carrier isn't on the list?

Ugh I hate those ads. I had a OnePlus for a few years and forgot about all the bloat you get with a Samsung phone. Recently decided to go for a Samsung phone as the other options didn't seem much better. But now I keep getting ads from Google and Samsung in my notifications. I THINK I managed to disable some of it but it still keeps popping up once in a while.

Looks like it's Speedlink.

I'd recommend POP!_OS. Very easy to install and use and most games I've tried to play work without any problems.

I've been told what it means yet every time I see it my brain goes "for the...." and I can't figure out the last 2 letters. And I have to look it up to be reminded that it means "fixed that for you". But every time I forget and I have to look it up again.

Play games on GeForce NOW at a higher resolution than 1080p. :-/

Ugh I hate that with YouTube ads as well (at least on my Android TV). I'll watch something, get interrupted by ads, sometimes minutes long and/or multiple ads, and after the ad(s) it jumps seconds or even minutes ahead from where I was watching. Then when I rewind to the point I was at it'll often play even more ads. It's super annoying but if they think this convinces me to buy their premium subscription they're very wrong. It's so off-putting.

Baldur's Gate 3, mostly. But I've been playing Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous when the others in the group I play with can't play.

Oh, and some Cities Skylines II here and there. Works reasonably well with the controller, but it's not perfect.

I really like it so far, especially with the new apps. I'm using Boost and I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the old Boost for Reddit. The transition is really smooth. Oh, and everything on Lemmy feels very intuitive and the people seem less toxic.

And Mastodon...I really like it. I'll post something with the right hashtags and suddenly there's a conversation between a bunch of people with the same interests that goes on for weeks!

If this gets added I hope it's optional, because I really don't like it. I came across this feature in several Lemmy apps and and almost every time I scroll vertically the app registers it as scrolling horizontally and suddenly I'm up- or downvoting or even bookmarking a random comment.

Yeah there's an option in the settings called Remove Ads. The problem is, that option isn't working for me. When I tap that option all I get is a screen with the Boost logo and the text Remove Ads below it and that's it.

Avalonia does support Linux. :)

Oh yes! And he got so good that he's pretty easy to understand, without a heavy accent, and he's even been speaking English in his dramas. I love that kind of effort!

Slay The Spire and Monster Train are both very good, but often recommended. Other card games that are worth checking out: Gordian Quest, Vault of The Void and Across The Obelisk! The latter is a lot of fun when playing sigh up to 3 friends but it's good as a singleplayer game as well!

I love 2PM's Junho. He's an amazing singer and my favourite actor. He is so talented and works so hard. He practiced speaking English a lot and he's improved so much!

Yeah it's insane how expensive everything gets. I'm subscribed to a bunch of streaming services (like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc) and sometimes I use them a lot but HBO, for instance, I've only used a few times and it's just sitting there on our smart TV taking up space and draining our bank account. But I got it when there was a really good deal and if I cancel and resubscribe I have to pay the full amount. Then again, I'm probably wasting more money with it now than I would've if I'd just cancelled and then resubscribed when I actually used it. Oops.

But yeah, I'm definitely not going to pay more for those services than I am now, so if the pricing gets even more ridiculous I'm out.

I'd never heard of that game before. Will check it out! Thank you!

Wow this update is massive. I love that they keep releasing new updates, and so often, too! I think it's time to hop back into the game soon. It's a game I get back to once every few months and then take a break from. Whenever I come back, there's always something new to discover! I do wonder, aside from buying the game more than once, are there other ways we can support the devs?

The minimum speed requirement is 15Mbps for 720p and 25Mbps for 1080p (at 60 FPS). For higher resolutions/FPS it's around 45-50Mbps.

See the system requirements on their website.

I'm from Europe, and for years I'd been using WhatsApp because everyone expected me to even though I didn't feel comfortable using it at all (because I care about my privacy and apparently not all of my friends/family members do). At some point I was forced to accept new terms that basically said it was okay for them to sell my data and that's where I drew the line and told everyone that I would no longer be using WhatsApp and that if they wanted to reach me they could call me, text me or message me on Telegram. I immediately uninstalled it.

I noticed friends and family found it a bit odd and inconvenient that I'd stopped using WhatsApp. And many companies seem to use WhatsApp to contact their customers (why can't they just email me instead...) and it seems they automatically assume everyone uses it, which I find a bit annoying. But ever since uninstalling it no one has been able to convince me to reinstall it and I plan to keep it that way.

Some of my favourite that bring back good memories:

• Age of Empires II
• Caesar games
• C&C Red Alert
• Diablo
• Magic & Mayhem
• Pharaoh
• Pokémon (Yellow, Blue/Red)
• Postal
• SimCity 2000
• StarCraft
• Warcraft II

I think it did/does make picking skills more meaningful because you can't just pick any skill unless you want to respec. I didn't like how Diablo 3 did it for that reason.

I think it's nice that they made it easy enough to respec without having to start a new character just to try a different build.

However, I do wish they would add a confirm button before a skill point is actually used up when selecting a skill because that'd make it easier to plan out builds (though there are plenty of websites with build tools/calculators out there).

Drink a glass of water during your meals. And make sure you eat enough proteins. High protein diets are very effective.

If you're craving chips, your body is telling you you need carbs. So get them from healthy sources of food instead. If you're craving something like cheese or meat, your body is telling you you need proteins, so make sure you get them from healthy sources of food as well.

Avoid high carb food that doesn't have a lot of nutrients. You will probably still feel hungry afterwards. Go for healthy food that makes you feel full and gives your body a good amount of nutrients.

And remember that healthy food can taste just as good. :)

Joey, and Boost up until a few years ago.

Hadn't heard of this before but looks interesting and fun! Found any good games for it?

I had a similar problem with my old password manager and their customer support refused to help me (despite them being fully aware it was really me, the owner of the account, sigh). Password managers are great, but sometimes even having to remember one password is a pain.

What you could do is make up a random phrase, or a combination of unrelated words or acronyms that can't be linked to you in any way and can't be easily guessed by others (so not a birthdate, for example), yet are easy to remember (maybe because they are silly and nonsensical they will be easier to remember).

Thanks so much for everything!

Joey still seems to work although it may just be showing old posts. I'm also noticing Lemmy giving me errors when I try to vote on a comment so I'm guessing the great migration part 2 (?) has started?

I have an account and never posted anything because it feels intimidating to post my first...post there. (Do people on Mastodon call it post or is there a different word similar to Twitter's 'tweets'?).

It looks really good though, but I find it more intimidating than Lemmy / kbin!

I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it's blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I'd prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).

Thanks for the list! I read they're also making Artemis available for Android.

Okay, thanks!

Ah I do get the option to do it for individual communities as well (on Lemmy). Maybe it's a new feature?

Same! Someone told me that your left hand makes an "L" so if I ever got confused I would just remind myself of that. As a kid it was my little secret because I'd just pretend to know while in my mind I'd picture my left hand making an L shape.

(Also, hello other panda!)

Oh, you can? That's really good to know! Thanks for the tip!
