  • No, I’m not old enough for that, and anyone else younger than me certainly never will be. I only ever hear of the good old days from posts like these, but from what I gather, at least some of that magic can be found here, which is why I’ll never leave this place. “Conventional” social media never appealed to me at all, with all of the “trends” and “influencers” and whatnot. Reddit was what had caught my affection, until the APIpocalypse, which sent me right here. Whatever it was in the past that I didn’t get to experience then, I feel like I’m experiencing it now, in one way or another.




  • Kerbal Space Program 2 as an Early Access game on Steam. Take Two poached developers those that worked on KSP 1 and then laid off the entirety of Intercept Games, the studio that they made for KSP 2. Even though it’s not being worked on anymore, you can still get it on Steam for an eye-watering €50, which was exactly what I paid (before the layoff happened, on day 2 of Early Access). This was after I had great experiences with other Early Access games like ULTRAKILL and Satifactory, so I thought that a company like Take Two wouldn’t fuck the pooch that hard. It’s playable, the graphics are neat, the music is very nice, and they did manage to add the science mode before it all went to shit, but I’m sad that the promised two other solar systems, planet colonization, resource extraction, automation and multiplayer will probably never be added. That is, unless someone else buys up the project and actually finishes it.












  • I couldn’t find a pie chart, but this list should suffice. lemmy.world has as many active users as the five next largest instances. I don’t think that you can make such a binary decision of “decentralization”, but it’s clear that they hold a good chunk of the active users.

    My last comment was meant to be sarcastic, but I suppose that I didn’t make that very clear. I just find it rather annoying when new lemmings are steered directly to lemmy.world while hand-wringing about federation being too hard. It really isn’t.
