But then again, startups probably aren’t considering the geo-political implication of country TLDs and that in 5-10 years any specific nation might simply stop existing.

“boomer” as a term is here to stay and a moving target

Kind of like how “Millennial” for a while meant ‘teenager’ despite the oldest Millennial being 40.

It isn’t awful, but it isn’t good either. Get a tub of it just to say you’ve tried it, but Iceland has much better “real” food on offer.

It isn’t staple food you’d see on modern dinner plates: it essentially is only tourist food, or eaten during Þorrablót - a mid-winter celebration of of traditional Icelandic food (which in many cases was starvation food, but we let that slide)

Sharks don’t really pee. It gets stored it in their body tissue instead. Part of the preperation of shark is essentially pressing it for weeks to bring out the ammonia and let it break down into something that won’t kill you. Doesn’t taste good, but won’t kill you.

GameMaker is also a very capable 2D engine that you can use for free until you want to export, by which time you can get a subscription less than a cup of coffee.

Plenty of other engines beyond unity, no matter the game you want to make.

DS3 literally starts with a boss that is quite challenging if you’re not used to DS already. Just “here is a sword, here is how to swing it, here is a bear of a man with an oozing snake hand - kill him”. A lot of players bounced off him.

Fromsoft isn’t in the business of making easy games, it’s just different variations of challenging. For people that like that it’s great. For a lot of people that very understandably is a turn off.

Been a long-time souls fan, but AC was before my time so I never got into it. Picked AC6 up last night and am having a blast so far!

Icelandic would like a red-headed word.

I personally am a fan of jet-lagged, the game. Sam, Ben, and Adam from wendover productions/Half as interesting compete in various travel-based games across the world.

Absolutely, I’d personally never use Discord as I’d use Lemmy, but some people sure are trying even if it is very counter-intuitive.

Its not that strange: people use what they are familiar with. Most people have a Discord account these days and migrating over there is as easy as clicking an invite link. In contrast Lemmy is relatively unknown and untested to the general audience, and is a step higher on the hassle scale, even if it is a similar service to Reddit - not counting the usual fediverse complications.

People are drawn to go as far down the hassle scale as possible, the fewer steps between them and their goal the better.

Not that a lot of communities did successfully migrate over here, partially or not. Lemmy is a lot more active now than when I started looking into it during the initial API struggle in June.

While it has problems of its own, instances could pool and share that knowledge. The first time an instance talks to a different insta ce it could just ask “hey, what other instances are you aware of?”. The main issue there is just instances obsessively sending exponentially growing lists of instances back and forth.

But no, that is the main bane of federated social media, discoverability without a center of truth

Maybe they are just thinking about those with a really bad internet connection, who will need the month to download the 125gb game.
