Thanks! It’s more…probably the mental toll than anything, coming to terms with this nonsense happening to me!

It’s just…alternating - most of the time it is quite numb to touch, like my nerve endings there register nothing at all. Then (typically night time) it feels like burning, a little like a hot knife? So I felt pretty sad, tbh. Still something to come to terms with. Hopefully with some care and effort it can be maybe mitigated, I doubt totally reversed…but again I won’t know for around 6 months! Shitty!

Oh gosh, that is exactly what I hope to try and do! Thank you!!!

Thank you for sticking with these, and reading them as I post them. I appreciate it a lot :)

Cross-posted and translated this to the Brazilian community as usual :)

Thank you, as always, for making things easier and more accessible for others! It’s truly so nice of you to do so, even if a handful find some things interesting, that’s a win in my books!

P.S: There’s a formatting error on the previous posts, on the gaming news #18

Thank you! I’ve been looking at that for hours now, feeling lethargic and lazy to fix it…but when I’m called out? Well, I had to! So thanks for that :P

I’m so glad you joined!!!

It can all feel a bit strange to begin with, that’s what I found anyway. There can be a sense of being in a…idk void where you’re not heard for awhile, but give it some time. Join communities here which catch your eye, comment on what interests you, and by all means YES - please do submit anything and everything here!!!

I’m pretty qualified and it would be amazing to get to work there.

form what I heard after posting that, the location was important for some of the jobs, not all. So, I’d say you’re going to only know if you’re the right fit, and meant to work there, if you apply!!! I do know the people there are absolutely lovely and care so much about gaming. Do it!!!

As to what exactly, and how exactly you should share on Lemmy/here in this community…that’s entirely 100% up to you. If anyone tries to tell you the ‘right’ way to do something, they’re clearly lost. We on FOSS spaces like here and Mastodon really, really need more contributions. I know that 99% of this kind of space has the life of the posts in the comments, that’s the nature of a forum-based world like Lemmy is, but I like to try things a little differently here.

Whatever you do, and however you do it, I’m excited to see it!

And again, welcome to Lemmy. You’re in the right place :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thanks, Bob!!!

Its a long annoying road ahead for the nerves, which is something I’m failing hard at ignoring! So, time and effort to try mitigate that sad news.

It did make me super happy to type this up and share it, so I’m glad its something you enjoyed reading through.

Appreciate your comments as always :)

Its kinda like a ‘test’ (the image itself, I mean!)

Typically I use a picture of a girl by an arcade machine, but after some few comments off and on expressing their dislike for it, I thought I might try something else!

Unsure which I’ll ultimately stick to :)

Oh gosh, thats like the sweetest thing ever!

Thank you so much for saying that. I’m lucky that people like you enjoy them, otherwise I’d have lost steam long ago!!!

Staying away from Chome (even for work) I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet, I’m hoping it’s going to be approved to Firefox’s add-ons so I can see how it is!

Thank you for keeping up with reading them!!!

Oh that’s so kind of you to say! I have to say, I’ve been pretty down about it all, but writing this up made me so very happy. I really love Lemmy for how easy it is to share these long-form posts :)

Pippistrello and the cursed yo-yo

Sounds wonderful, I’m looking this up now! It sure sounds weird, but the longer the gaming industry runs and ruins great things, these odd little different ones just make me happy!

Thank you!

I was excited for the Space Marine remaster, but…I only played perhaps 1 hour or so…it’s super disappointing, but that’s on me for getting excited before it came out (again).

Firebreak is 100% my next ‘big’ excitement, I’m so ready to play it!!! I’m right there with you with the Remedyverse!!!

I’m glad you found it interesting!

Thanks :)

I don’t think I can choose. I use both, and am good friends with the devs of both options!!!

I use Heroic for my desktop PC, the ease of having Epic, GOG and Heroic on Linux is unbeatable to me. I do also have it on my Steam Deck

Junk-Store is (at the moment, however the upcoming release will change formats) a plugin via Decky Loader, and looks almost as if it is a native extension of the Steam Deck. The UI/UX feels stock, and that is so nice to see. And it is dead easy to use. It’s so nice to be able to add and play Epic & GOG games to your Steam library and play them.

Junk-Store has Epic for free, and GOG is a once-off payment for the plug-in.

Heroic’s support of Epic, GOG and Amazon are all free.

Its a choice, I swear by these two options and wouldn’t even bother with any other. Try both, and see which one feels best to you!

They’ve a lot of work to do, but it is nice to see a roadmap of what’s ahead for them!

Hahahah thank you!!!

Its…odd, I had a few send me messages on Matrix berating me and saying all kinds of silly crass nonsense that just made them look like children.

I don’t know why, but people get such a dedicated brand-loyalty hatred against Epic that it turns them into cretins.

Fingers crossed they stay quiet this time!!!

And FFS don’t send me weird rage-filled basement-dweller DM’s on all my platforms demanding to know why I’m friendly to Epic. The last time I posted something with Epic news in it, some of you really took it badly.

It was weird.

Thank you so much! Its getting to be a passion - organizing, tweaking the settings, applying the texture packs…and then having retro achievements with them? Perfect fun to me! And Clone Wars sounds fun, too!

007 Nightfire is a great rec, since spy themed games are still so hard to find. I’ll be onto this one next I think!

Games like Midnight Club and Sonic are better with the PC versions, I think. Easier to tweak with the highest possible graphics and shaders, etc.

Thanks for your tips, and help!

Nice to see so much care and effort being put in here, Dremor!

I love the thought, and it makes me feel super happy to see this place getting some more focus. Having well and truly burned my bridges (and enjoyed watching the napalm) on my ‘regular’ social media, having this place as my focus on long-form posts just makes me happy. Makes me even more so to see making this place even better is your plan!

I’m happy to raise my hand to moderate, if you still need extra help. I’d guess not since Lemmy’s workload on a modqueue is a small one. But do feel free to reach out to me via DM if you’d like suggestions/recommendations! Having moderated on Reddit (from giant 10m+ subs to the tiny community-focused ones) I’ve got plenty of ideas to encourage more community involvement?!

Take your fking screenshots and go to hell already.

Yeah, great, what a super constructive and positive outlook to have. If you mean these kinds of posts where the they share screenshots and the thoughts they’ve had on how the game plays, each day then I’m not sure how you consider that low effort.

I’m guessing you haven’t even clicked on them?

They write a great deal, show how the game feels, express how they’ve enjoyed the games and if they’d recommend them. I consider these posts one of the more valuable we have here in this community. It’s not just a link and a one-liner, they’re writing and sharing their experiences and creativity. Formatted and so well made.

Its insane to me that you’d think this is shit. What would you prefer be posted here?
