Video Game Music@lemmy.world•Starbound's Novakid theme: "I Was the Sun (Before It Was Cool)"
3·1 day ago@Aielman15@lemmy.world I didn’t follow the game when it went from beta to 1.0, but having played the beta later (builds are still downloadable on Steam if you know the right IDs to point to Valve’s SteamCMD), I can understand the complaints. The game felt to me more adventure-focused previously, but then it shifted into a more general exploration/sandbox game, expanding but simplifying several aspects and ditching a lot of the plot in the process.
Also the developers never officially said the updates were over, and 1.4.x feels like it tries to bring back a bit of that adventure loop. But after 1.0, updates slowed until the game felt abandoned. And at least up to some 3 years ago iirc, the developers would say on the official Discord groups that they were waiting for news on a supposed console release before resuming updates to the PC versions, to make feature parity easier.
However, at least in my opinion, it’s still a decent game well worth the time and money spent, and it does feel like a complete game. I’d recommend it, specially with how cheap it goes on sales. And if you want to check out older builds if you get it on Steam, feel free to check this tutorial (amusingly and unironically using Starbound as the example). GOG version iirc is only available from 1.0 onward.
Lastly, there’s a community for it here on the fediverse if you’d wish to follow: !starbound@lemmy.ml

1·2 days agoI’d imagine it can be paired with Kill the Newsletter to also add anonymity.
Reddit not being transparent and not having independent safeguards against numbers’ manipulation, I wouldn’t trust their statistics.
In my case, saturating what I listen to with stuff from the target language. At first what I hear is mostly noise, but as my understanding in the language overall improves, so does what I can understand from listening. And as I listening improves, the more I can pick that isn’t covered by lessons, helping in the overall understanding and in the lessons. A virtuous spiral, I think is the saying. =)

Language Learning@sopuli.xyz•How's your language learning going this week? - Weekly thread (Sep 13)
3·2 days agoMostly listening to news in Japanese. Week’s been long and been dealing with a side project that takes a lot of time, so couldn’t study much else.

Language Learning@sopuli.xyz•Pashto for Beginners | Lecture 22 - Dialogue 1
2·2 days agoHad never heard of the language. From a quick lookup, according to Wikipedia, it’s one of the official languages of Afghanistan.
I don’t know what community to post screenshots in so I hope this is welcome null
Found one if you’d want to crosspost there too: !video_game_screenshots_and_shorts@piefed.social
Auster@thebrainbin.orgOPtodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•"No device found" on FlashGBX: remember to install the CH340 driver!
1·4 days agoGonna try to investigate further today, if things aren’t too busy. Any suggestions on distros in case I need to distro hop to test? Was testing on Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•YouTube Shorts auto-restart: terrible for those with ADHD
9·5 days agoI feel like there’s an additional intent there. Short bursts of dopamine in quick succession are a pretty addicting drug, and thus making people more distracted and sedated, and if they don’t have ADHD, they may get the same focus troubles people with ADHD have.
If you must consume those, I strongly advise to at least redirect to places autoplay or replay isn’t triggered. In Youtube’s case, there are browser plugins for redirecting, yt-dlp, mobile and PC players, etc.
And expanding a bit, since it’s not a problem exclusive to Google…
For TikTok and Odysee, I don’t consume their short-format videos so can’t comment on those. And for Loops, part of the fediverse, watching externally, e.g. on Mastodon, should give the video in a plain form, without the addicting features.
Besides here, might I suggest participating in other forums? Some times they get highlighted at !Forums@sh.itjust.works, but they’re still way more plentiful that what gets curated there from my experience. Also if you must still consume contents from Reddit, they still have RSS for the time being.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Will the controls for Zelda Switch 2 remake be better than the N64?
2·6 days agoA bit of an exercise on futurology, but from what I skimmed on the promotional materials, this remake seems to be inspired in the recent open world Zelda games. If that’s the case indeed, I’d presume that the controls would work as well.
