The ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen, good riddance

Am I allowed to say Frieren here or is that too much of a normie answer? But it has a mix of stuff so it’s not fully cozy.

The screenshot looks good. I remember when the demo came out and I played it a bunch, it was really impressive. Not just the graphics but also how much stuff was happening on screen, and it still had great performance.

I see there are some source ports https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Serious_Sam:_The_First_Encounter#Source_ports

If that happens then maybe its users will switch to Lemmy or PieFed when they realize it’s the same network

Even if it was completely vibecoded, who cares? It’s another funnel to bring people into the Fediverse. You don’t need to use it yourself, just be glad that there’s more ways to get people in here. It’s a different design with different UX, there’s always the chance that this will hook people who didn’t enjoy Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin/etc. The more the merrier.

Hello from RetroLemmy! Always fun to see a new platform join in

the most intense game of rock paper scissors ever

If by “this” you mean https://piefed.social/

It has nothing to do with lemmy.world completely different people

This is quite a turn of events. Glad to have you joining us.

My concern isn’t mainly who can see vote records. It’s that votes can influence which posts and comments people see.

Set your default sorting to “New Comments”, which is identical to how forums do it, ignoring votes entirely.

You can also disable downvoting if you wish.

I’m not exactly sure how Lemmy calculates scores or how much they affect visibility

I’m pretty sure Lemmy doesn’t consider downvotes beyond 3. Also voting doesn’t affect visibility, just sorting.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/ca5193d171987f19dc0891a225b9d0609b962a9d/migrations/2023-10-23-184941_hot_rank_greatest_fix/up.sql#L17

So the score can’t be downvoted to extreme negative sorting, there’s a limit.

Users can choose how votes factor into their feeds, and disabling downvotes locally won’t stop other instances from using their own votes.

Sort of. If the post/comment comes from one of your users and you have downvotes disabled, then your server will decline the downvotes, so other instances won’t see those declined downvotes.

If you still want to make changes you could consider making pull requests for additional config options, or keeping a soft fork

Beehaw too

Sometimes it can be fun to mess around. In Crysis 1 I used cheats to make myself super strong, I would punch people and they would go flying, it was great.

But then I increased the strength higher and when I punched someone I would die for some reason. I realized if I backed away while punching I would survive. Turns out the physics of the game, with the enemy ragdolling, actually calculated that the enemy’s legs would swing up and kick me and that’s what was killing me.

It’s SATA? You could just plug it into your normal Linux computer (use a Linux live boot if you need to, do not risk it with Windows due to viruses, don’t even mount the drive) and wipe it from your newer computer.

But from what I’ve seen, most people that buy these retro computers are gonna put an SSD in there anyways.

Technically the default Lemmy UI does hide the dupes, although it may still be buggy. Probably worth revisiting this once v1.0 launches. I’m not sure which apps do and don’t do that though.

This is what I usually do, but sometimes they ask about it specifically or they heard Lemmy is “fragmented”

Is there any app that let’s you aggregate the different servers, so I can read content from multiple as if it was one site?

We need better messaging lol. This is why I don’t like the word “instances” or “servers”, I prefer “gateways” or “access points”

PieFed pretty much does that

Aleksi (under his real name) did an album right after them that’s pretty similar, Project V

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL45mXuMDH3KTKjYDvetQ3RoUu11bCpQhY

A few of his other early albums are good too like Wasted Sunday, Mental Union, Boom Blaster

And of course there’s Cylobotnia (him and Cylob together)

But yea, like forums of old, it’s not immune to dead links and stuff like that.

Reddit isn’t immune to dead links either lol, even text posts I often see were deleted and can’t read them anymore. There are plenty of dead subreddits too.
