Nightmare on Elm Street looks cool

Ok then my actual suggested forgotten gem is the DESTRUCT minigame inside of Tyrian

Oh also The Incredible Machine, I played #2 so much as a kid

does The 7th Guest count as forgotten? lol !stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com

a horror FMV puzzle game, the local theater actors really hammed it up, the soundtrack slaps, and the atmosphere is great

also Tyrian, which is freeware now https://www.gog.com/en/game/tyrian_2000 Not very forgotten either, but at least I’m not saying Doom!

make sure to try the DESTRUCT cheat code https://tyrian.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats#Secret_Gameplay_Modes

payment

lol

sorry, but there’s not much money being passed around here…

I think writing these things may not be as easy as it seems, or the good writers just aren’t volunteering. Anyone is welcome to take a shot at it as the docs are open source on Github, make some pull requests!

But you’re right, motivated users will make it work. People who are just pretending to take a moral stand against Reddit will continue to complain and think up new excuses and questions without ever moving

2026 or 2025? I thought it was 2025

looks kinda like a Silverstone SG13 with a monitor on it, or maybe a Lian Li A3-mATX

I can’t believe it took them this long lol. There’s like millions of whatever latest Samsung Galaxy phone, running that compilation locally millions of times is just a waste of global compute power and everyone’s time, run it once in the cloud and cache it.

I meant something owned/maintained by Valve, it’s a name people can trust and would catch a lot of angry Win10 users switching

personally I don’t need any specific distro, but it would be a big boost for Valve

I’m probably gonna go full Linux, I already run it on my laptop and my closet computer lol

I wonder if Steam OS will be ready for desktops before this

Some day LW will enable parallel sending lol, hopefully soon. I’m really curious how much it will help.

I never know what to do with these lol

it actually has quite a few upvotes too

• An Android Authority app teardown has revealed that Google is working on an inactivity reboot feature.
• This security feature would reboot devices if they’ve been locked for three consecutive days.

Pretty cool, three days is kinda long for someone’s primary phone though, I wonder if they’ll let you reduce that to 24 hours or something

What’s missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user?

I don’t think it’s always easy to pinpoint UX issues and user friction. Sometimes these things just don’t stick with mainstream users. I say it’s worth a try to see which platform the average Reddit user will prefer.

But if you’re gonna use from a phone, Lemmy’s selection of mobile apps is unbeatable.

The rate of growth does matter yea. If an instance gets worried, they can lock signups. Slow growth means the software has time to improve as they notice issues.

Lemmy had many issues scaling before, except Lemmy had huge surges with the Reddit API blackouts.

If people start recommending PieFed now, it’s on their own terms instead of a massive wave. They can backoff if they get too many users.

I think it’s unlikely that they would attract such a large number of users with 1 post on r/RedditAlternatives or something. Lemmy gets spammed everywhere and we usually don’t even gain 1000 users a day overall across all instances.

There’s already been some comments about PieFed and they didn’t result in huge surges.

We have data on what it costs to run a sizeable instance of Lemmy and it’s not a lot. How does Piefed compare? Anyone starting an instance who envisions it growing large has to contend with this question.

I don’t think this is a major concern yet. The largest PieFed instance has 308 active users, 2nd place has 34. They’ve got room to grow.

People can start posting about PieFed on Reddit and see how the Reddit users react.
