  • I’m so glad you’ve started Death Stranding!

    Keep in mind it can be a marathon - it can be a gigantic long game if you fill the gaps, doing the ‘side delivery missions’ etc. Just…take your time, enjoy the scenery! The second area is amazing. I hope you keep enjoying it!!!

    (and thank you so much, comments like yours are - can’t pretend otherwise - a big part of why I keep these coming!)


  • 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!






  • 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 :) :) :) :) :) :)







  • 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!








  • 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!



  • 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!!!





  • 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!
