You have to remember that this game came out a long time ago, it had many features at the time that set it above other games.

It had a good storyline, multiplayer, maps that would change every time you logged in (multiplayer), the ability to be powerful after spending a lot of time in the game (and if you saw anyone with a rare/cool looking armor you know they worked for it, there were no lootbox mechanics where you could just pay money for it). And of course... there is no cow level ;) The skill tree allowed for tons of different abilities and combos, or you could grind away at a single skill and become godly with it.

You may not recognize the appeal to the game now just because so many of the mechanics have been copied and implemented in countless other games since then.

I'm pretty new here. I'd say the concept is the same in the sense that they are each their own community run by their own moderators. However, the all powerful Admins are those in control of the instance.

One interesting example is that Beehaw has started making "Bee themed" community icons which makes it easy to tell when you're looking at one of the communities hosted on their instance.

Someone on Lemmy.world could have another community with the exact same name, you just have to pay attention to the end (and having themed icons also helps).

But it goes even a little farther than that. We can end up with Mastadon (twitter equivalent) users who are also able to comment in these communities. I don't think its working in reverse yet (at least not for Lemmy.ml accounts).

Wasn't there also some drama recently over Twitch trying to take away/banning sponsorships from the streamers?

Remember when ads were short and easy to skip? They're just getting more annoying now.

I could bear them back then, but now I can tell immediately if I accidentally use the mobile app on my phone vs my phone's web browser.

Well well well... 3 consecutive work days with no updates... Maybe this is the one after all? Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Now to just figure out how to get the web app to default to "New"....

Edit: Found it. Click on your profile name, then settings, then change default sort. They have a " Top Day" option as well that might be good. But then I'd miss out on the new stuff.

That "white board" on the fridge is an "app" that comes with it as a feature. Someone just used it to draw the surprised Pikachu face.
It's turned on, but you're most likely right that it's not cool because I bet they have the temperature dialed up all the way.

Looks good! How would you handle keyboards with a numpad?

What do you mean by a subscription request?

All I had to do was click the "Subscribe" button, unless something has changed?

I'm using the F-Droid version as well. Make sure you've updated to the latest because this is a new feature that was just pushed out.

Edit: as others have said, there is no icon, just click on the comment. If you need to copy a comment you'll need to click on the comment options and then "View Source".

Hmmm, I bet I would get better FPS in Linux if I tried it out...

The last few patches I've been relying on bedlogging instead of logging out at a station.
I've found it more reliable to not have to worry about retrieving my ship. Plus I can jump right into the action a lot sooner.
It's hard to say "how long" because there can be times where I don't log in all week, but I'd say my ship lasted at least 4-5 gaming sessions (if not more).
