these pieces of hardware are generally analyzed and reimplemented rather than copied

This process is known as clean room design if anyone wants to do more reading about this

It is one now

Probably Minecraft, Skyrim, or another game with good mod support from the community. I’d never get bored

Hades, which is also made by Supergiant, is also fantastic. It’s a great intro to the roguelite genre. I’ve also heard that their first game, Bastion, is great too, but I haven’t played it

Half life is another one of those series like Portal that I feel like everyone is required to play at some point

Ooh, sweet, sounds like fun! I loved Supreme Commander, definitely trying this out

Totally, fair enough. It’s specifically about the /hj tone indicator, how it is mostly useless because of its ambiguity and it not being known by people in general, and how that extends to most tone indicators. It’s basically what you said but goes way more in depth (almost crazily so but that’s sorta their thing)

That’s the magic of ActivityPub! It’s the protocol that most of the fediverse is built on, and it lets users from completely different fediverse platforms share posts with each other. It’s the special sauce that lets Mastodon, Lemmy, and kbin (and more!) work together

I’ve created https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards, but there’s nothing there yet

kbin’s magazine browser lets you search for communities on kbin and lemmy as well, and you can sort by new, hot, and active

A wet towel on your neck and shoulders can really help out, they make stretchy ones that are really nice, plus they help keep the sun off your neck

I’ve created a community for Magic the Gathering on kbin, https://kbin.social/m/mtg

I’ve been messing around with some userscripts and custom CSS to help improve the UX a bit (and make the UI a bit more compact), I bet we could get some people together to work on a “Lemmy Enhancement Suite”
