My feelings about Lemmy lately. This sub is fine, but I really should stop browsing "local" or "all" or all the general meme subs ...
Femcel Memes
Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
Welcome to Lemmy, we have:
- Communities about Western politics (mostly US if we're being honest)
- News communities, mostly about Western politics
- Memes communities!!! (Actually Western politics, sorry)
- Regional communities which are, you guessed it, mostly about Western politics
- Technology communities, actually Western Big Tech politics
- Gaming communities, yeah, big corpos again, did you expect anything else?
I carved out my own little bubble of interesting communities on "subbed" and don't venture outside into the wastes of doomscrolling anymore!
Honestly have no idea how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

they ... don't
that's kinda the problem. i wanted to show lemmy to somebody today, and at first glance they found it nice, but the content is a bit ... toxic. i think there should be a custom listing scheme (the thing where you see "subscribed, local, all"). it should provide custom listings that are maybe per-topic or sth (i'm not sure how this would work yet) and you can easily select "no politics pls" listing.
Piefed has custom listings actually like this for example!
In general, I would not suggest Lemmy in general but instead certain instances with presentable local feeds (blahaj zone, mander xyz).

That's a good thought, actually!
For me personally, the local feed on blahaj.zone works great and gives me exactly what I want. So I recommend finding an instance that fits your interests more.
i wish lemmy had custom listings (by topic or by language or whatever) so you're not confined to the "local" stuff from your local instance or having to subscribe to every single community that you maybe find interesting manually.
so there'd be not only "subscribed, local, all" but sth like "subscribed, local, cute stuff from other instances, all"
Oh look she's playing on GaiaOnline. Nice.

Negative reviews on Silksong with 20+ hours of play time are written by people like this
I once wrote a negative review on ToME4 after 250h+ of playtime 🫣
Roguelikes are kinda special in this regard, they can sometimes turn 180 as you play more. Though I'd be curious to know what was your experience with TOME4 - I myself abandoned it pretty quickly.
I've did one full playthrough and beat the normal campaign on +1 difficulty, adventure mode (not 1 life but a pack of lives, afaik up to 7, you gain them as you level up).
Game is awfully boring on normal, it's not challenging. Game is awfully unbalanced on higher difficulties - at +2 you will just sometimes get oneshot by bosses with op combination of stats. Like I had an a mage with capped resistances and layers of shields, and as my shields were a bit hit, I got firebreathed for 2.2k. Yeah that's above the endgame HP bar amount of health.
Roguelikes generally introduce resource scarcity. Like maybe you need to eat and the food is scarce, or maybe you HP doesn't restore easily. This game didn't introduce scarcities properly - you can easily apply gigantic healing-over-time or plain heals. And thus dungeon can't kill you by attrition, boss can only kill you if it pretty much one-two shot.
But I wouldn't say that's the biggest problem with the game. The biggest problem with it is the length. It's too long for a roguelike. It's like 2 week for a full playthrough, that's with doing everything fast.
They had to introduce this mode with more than 1 life cause the game is miserable in true 1 life roguelike. Most of the content in the game you would glide and it won't be challenging, and you'll spend hours like that. Until you meet your oneshot halfboss. If you even notice a problem in time due to clicking fast just to get through that insanely long dungeon.
Like seriously, most of early level locations are 3 level deep, and there are like about 7. If you die and have to repeat it, the only feeling you have is UGH not again. And it's not getting better at the lategame - final boss is hidden beyond 10 levels of tower. And you need to defeat 3x4 ork tribes before that. You get lvl cap and your full endgame gear setup somewhere in between.
And yeah, gear. It drops too much. I'm not joking. You sit and sort this shit every location, it's at least several minutes of reading fast to check if it's all shit or there is a hidden gem. And then there is weight mechanic so you also store some niche resist items or whatever and you'll have to filter it time to time.
Yeah and also also you start with only a handful of races & classes enabled, and have to enable them ingame by different triggers. Sounds fun, until it's not. Some classes would unlock naturally as you playthrough. Some classes are hidden under buying some books you wouldn't spend your gold on otherwise (forces you to wiki). Some have some obscure mid+ game triggers. So, grinding days on a class you don't really want to play. 250h+ but I only have like 40% of it unlocked.
OTHERWISE it's a fine game. The amount of skills is staggering, and it feels different when you play different kind of classes. It would be a good game if it's length would be cut at least by 3. And drop rate reduced.
Thousands of hours in War Thunder and i wouldn't dream of writing a positive review.
Getting clean from league of legends is probably the best thing I've ever done
This is how I felt about Halo Infinite. I played it a lot, hoping one day it would make me feel the way Halo used to. One day I just had enough of poor map design and crappy netcode, picked up The Finals and never looked back.
I spend months, sometimes a year or more, not playing Destiny 2 but I keep going back.
hehe. It sounds like not playing was your primary activity in those years.
My gaps in between always grew larger until i had no desire to ever return. I miss the good times that i had, not the game itself.
You playing any other shooters?
