    • Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar - yes I’m older then dirt but I played my first real video game on an Apple IIe and it was a revelation real puzzles and my first choices with consequences
    • Tetris - ok so a great game doesn’t need a story or puzzles or anything but good game play
    • Gauntlet: Red Elf needs food badly. My first exposure to cooperative gameplay.
    • Pokemon:RBY - I love the mechanics and they were the best turn based combat.
    • Halo - Great storyline’s really do help but the gameplay was a real game changer for me I enjoyed how if you wanted to you could get through a level in several different ways.
    • The Last of Us - Literary Characters that I came emotionally attached to. There’s a reason the first season of the TV series was so good it was because the writing of the game was just so good. I still remember the finale in the operating room when I (Joel really but I was so invested) found Ellie I was angry I was mad and I shot the nurses because I was so mad. I’ve, to this day, never felt so inside a character in any media as I felt then.
    • Spiritfarer - My first cozy game and the only game I’ve ever played that made me stop and think about what just happened. I don’t ever want to spoil the game for anyone so all I’ll say is it’s less then the cost of a Happy Meal on steam and worth more for your soul then you can put a price on.


  • So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@.? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.







  • This is actually an interesting question that depends a lot on a human perspective and what you define as ‘Generally Blue’ and what’s else is in the container.
    I personally would define generally blue as when you have two colours, say red and blue M&Ms, and you reach in the container to pull out 3 you have a 50/50 chance of pulling out three blues. This definition would require that you have 79.58% blue M&Ms in your container.
    Honestly this sounds like a bit high to me but probably can be a real bitch, and the test sounds secure to me. Physiological I think 2/3 blue 1/3 red would have most people say it’s generally blue and the ratio would go down as you add other colours. I think 1/2 blue and 1/2 a mix of 4 or more colours people would still say it’s generally blue.







  • Survival It’s fucking important Y’all need to stay with us to dance in their graves afterwards. But don’t forget everyone needs help Offer it if you can and remember to take it when it’s given

    In the meantime remember what Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote
    “Provoke outrage, outright. … Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight.  … Out run, Out last. … Stay alive till this horror show has past. We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half mast.”
