I do, but the desktop version is still barebones compared to FreeTube or the Odysee webpage. It’s great on mobile, though!

And as for Peertube, I guess part of the problem is that it doesn’t feel as connected as other Fediverse services seem to feel. Not sure why, it just feels really disjointed to me.

I don’t know if I need to ask, but what’s wrong with Odysee?

I just can’t get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn’t work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.

I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.

Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.

Sorry for the delay, thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check them out!

I understand restricting the macOS version because it costs money but doing this for Windows is just a scumbag tactic, to be sure.

Oh, the irony of that last statement contrasted with the rest of your post.

All these replies are extremely indicative of just how utterly ridiculous the Fediverse can be. It almost makes me want to leave again but no: this network needs opposing opinions from its “acceptable” narrative. It’s bad enough that the Fediverse is already an echo chamber as it is.

I never had the chance to play this one, but I did really love the more modern Hot Pursuit! Might have to look into how to find this one.

Nice! I wasn’t sure when we’d get it, it felt like they were going to take a break or something. Glad to know we won’t have to wait too long!

I love Steam but I’ve always felt like the refund policy was a bit of a joke. I feel like the time limit should be flexible, being a bit longer for games that have long tutorials or a bunch of intro cutscenes.

As long as it still feels like TES and as long as it’s not even as hard as Elden Ring (which, as I hear, is supposedly the “easiest” FromSoft game but is still too challenging), I’m open to trying it. In general, I wish they’d just give us Skyrim’s combat with some tweaks; it’s the best combat in the series, in my opinion.

I’m not saying we need the dice roll system. I just don’t want a complicated time-based system that doesn’t feel grounded.

That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.

I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.

The problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don’t like the whole timed parry system. It’s alright if it’s akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you’re given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat… Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.

I’ll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren’t long-term fans and what the series to be what it’s not.

Yeah? Good. Bluesky’s community is atrocious. Nostr and the Fediverse are better and far more resistant to censorship anyway.

EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.
