Nice to find another woman on the Fediverse. Usually I don't mind male-dominated environments as long as nobody treats me badly once they know I'm female, but the small amount of participants in [email protected] and [email protected] (both communities for games that are aimed at women) makes me wish for more women here. Meanwhile the gender-neutral [email protected] attracted a lot more attention.
My earlier comment almost had a section that said "and if English is your second language, sorry in advance about all the incorrect assumptions! Learning a second language is difficult."
Best wishes! I do think you would find better reception if you put more information about what you are posting about in the title and body.
Hey, just clicked on something in this series of posts for the first time. Genuinely, thanks for your effort in writing it. I usually see link posts, and I have missed big original writeups like this. We need more people like you on Lemmy.
Re: slowdown, I use Lemmy exclusively via browser and it's a very smooth experience for me ;)
]ANYWAY, to the point, I really enjoyed this video from Fastminer07 on YouTube, it was clear and reiterates how important this is. Worth a look if you’re searching for interseting videos for your down-time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Ih__mE05c)
Might want to turn that first bracket to be an opening bracket so the link works.
I'm not a perfect being so I use Steam out of convenience instead of GOG, though I do have a GOG account. I am pleased to see good news from them and that they are maintaining a good library of games. It is nice to see the option that I think people choose in an effort to be anti-DRM and to support games preservation doing well.
I should probably look into the Switch emulator thing more, sounds ripe for an original [email protected] post.
politics
I guarantee Musk chose DOGE as the name to seem like some cutting edge internet maverick making a throwback to the meme, but it just… It doesn't feel appropriately playful, like the actual CAN-SPAM act from the US government before he came around. It feels incredibly illegitimate, "stop trying to be cool," and that's putting aside any personal political beliefs I have about how it actually is an illegitimate department.
I'm not sure why that got included in a gaming news post, though, to be honest politics is stressful. I do keep up to date, but having it show up in a gaming newsletter when it is not directly connected to gaming, even in what seems to be an agreement with my views, does not feel awesome. And no, it's not an "ew politics" because it does not affect me, I stand to be very affected. I just have to be incredibly disciplined about my intake of political content to not be constantly stressed and dooming and scrolling nowadays, especially given how I stand to be affected, and reminders outside of Politics Time make me unhappy.
Of course, it is your post in the end and you provided a lot of wonderful content :P I usually just make basic link or image posts or ask simple questions, I'm no creator.
Recently picked up shapez.io again, part of the [email protected] genre. Just started that community. Also currently playing [email protected] (which at least one person on Lemmy mistook for a waifubait anime gacha game with straight male gaze fanservice going off the community icon, which I think earned it a bunch of downvotes when promoted in [email protected]. When to be honest, it is the opposite: still an open world gacha game, but marketed at women. No romance featured, no sexualized fanservice, but a lot of pretty outfits to dress up in with nice hair and dress physics), [email protected], and Antimatter Dimensions which is in the [email protected] genre. I have several [email protected] that I kind of just stopped midway through even though they were enjoyable; likewise with the [email protected] Dragon Age: Origins. I enjoy the above listed genres and games, as well as [email protected], [email protected] or management games, and [email protected] games. There are other games I enjoy too but this is sort of turning into my subscribed communities list, and I'm not currently playing them right now 😅 I game on Linux (PC only, not in the market for a console, however Steam trying to sell the Steam Deck and then doing the whole Proton thing to try to make more games compatible with their Linux-based console means that suddenly a lot more games are playable on Linux so I'm grateful for that), iOS, and MacOS. Lutris has been very helpful for finding different emulators on Linux.
For transparency, I mod [email protected] and [email protected] but not the rest, and I want to help the other Fediverse communities I listed grow. I like those genres but am not super knowledgeable about any of them and like seeing recommendations and discussion about them.
Watched a friend play through part of this one. Looks to be a pretty good game.
If you actually do enjoy this genre and want some unironic takes (and no, they are not all dating sims or erotica) take a look at [email protected]! Also related is [email protected], a VN subgenre: dating sims aimed at women with male love interests. For transparency, I mod the second one but not the first.
Oh boy.
I want to support content creators, especially the ones willing to post to Lemmy.
This also reminds me of kids just trying out creative pursuits for the first time, what with "Please no hate" in the title instead of using the title like an actual title and asking commenters to be gentle in the post body. Not wanting hate is just a normal and understandable desire, so I feel bad for even saying that, but I also only ever saw that kind of thing in the title of a post when I was 9 and looking at stuff fellow kids put online. Most creators, even those seeking feedback (and I've seen a lot of those), will put a request to be gentle in the post body. Their title actually tells you about their content and tries its damndest to appeal to you.
"Tell me what do you think about this video" also isn't 100% perfect English. I mean, who among us hasn't made a screwup before with the English language? But somehow this just… really reminds me of kids trying out creative pursuits for the first time. I can't really explain it.
I think I'm also expecting a description of what your video is even about in the body, and your message could apply to any video uploaded. A makeup tutorial, a math lesson, an avant-garde art piece… I assume it has to do with gaming given you posted it in [email protected], but that is all I know. Something about this just feels weird and wrong and I figured I might as well help you (since you did ask for feedback) by trying to explain why I feel so, so offput by this post.
Also, I opened the video, saw the #dani hashtag, and thought "oh that guy that person on Lemmy was trying to promote," had a hunch, and checked your profile to find you are that person on Lemmy who was promoting him. So I admit I have that experience coloring my perception of your post.
Loading screen: Gem hat Momo :/ Song is catchy though.
Outfits: I like the hair of the Floating Blossoms outfit (Fresh one) especially if we pretend it is a bun and not a braid, which we can if we just view from the front. Fruity Wish is the one I like best from this update (black dress). I'd like the dress if it did not have that apple pattern and the whole fit a lot more without the polka dots. This update's outfits (including the banner ones) really aren't my speed, and that's okay.
The one thing I will say is that being able to transform into this little plushie thing with Crimson Rhapsody and fool Esselings unless you touch them is so cool. It checks out really, you look kind of like a little toy creature thing like them. Not pulling for it though.
Quests: Mostly self-contained in a few areas, nice for people like me who want to just get through quickly. Illusion Zone looks so cool. I remember doing the dancing minigame with some Pieceys, and appreciate that the version for this event has a much more forgiving bar for getting Perfect, especially since it lagged on me a bit at one point which impacted my score.
Wasn't expecting…
special guest Nonoy, or her song to have what sounds like kids learning to count while if I recall correctly the others don't have that.
One quest had you use the violin outfit and it really makes me wish that we could use the other music outfits in place of it. The game gives all of the ones I have at least (Dizi, Pipa, both from Chinese New Year event) the same controls as the violin outfit. Two lines of do re mi fa so la ti, so it should be interchangeable. I've done a lot of concerts where I had to wear some nice formal black and white outfits and oh boy would I not wear that violin outfit to them, so many expectations and so disappointed. Yes, still complaining about that main story outfit lol.
I like the Carnival in Frames thing where you take pictures at certain places, with us taking pictures at places relevant to this update. Sort of feels like the Expedition Handbook.
And of course, I just mashed through story as usual lol

I played the first one for awhile on iOS. Got hooked till I hit endgame and ran out of things to do. 2 looks like there is more stuff to do, might check it out.
I was going to skip this based on graphics but the review sounds interesting… might check out some playthroughs online or just ask my friend to stream it.
nevermind there is a demo, oops
lemmy.ca seems to be the 6th biggest server while ani.social is 33rd, so whoever created this community on lemmy.ca is actually contributing more to centralization than they would if they put it on ani.social if you're looking at just instance size. It might be decentralization when it comes to spreading topics around: I understand not wanting all your anime eggs in one basket in case something happens to ani.social, although I myself am a huge fan of the topic-specific instance model.

Fakutori, a laid-back, colorful automation game with optional story, releases demo on Steam

I originally joined the place because I could not find anywhere else to discuss the game. First impression was it being a place full of nice people who liked the game!
Now I see several conversations several different days of people speaking cruelly and condescendingly to each other over varying opinions on Infinity Nikki being a gacha game. Happens daily. I understand having strong opinions on it, on wanting to enjoy a fun high quality girly game for once, on concern over predatory gacha mechanics, but people go from that to namecalling and just plain mean behavior. Of course, not everyone in the Discord gets vitriolic, but it is frustrating seeing this argument rehashed daily.
If this meme is also too bitchy feel free to nuke it, no resentment will be had here if you do it. In the end I'm posting about a place that won't see it (because I'm not actually allowed to advertise other communities. I got a post removed and warned for—no advertising intended—linking a Lemmy post that answered someone's question in the server), and that's not always the kindest move. I understand wanting to keep this a positive place and if this does not fit the bill…
