Does it / will it support internal backlinks? That's the reason why I switched from Hugo to Zola.

I have pihole as well and I find it doesn't block the promoted posts / reddit ads on mobile. But revanced fixes that.

I really like the lore behind the vaults in the Fallout games. The only book I know that's somewhat similar is Wool, are there any others?

I use obsidian and syncthing, although I use it for just myself; as long as you aren't editing the same document at once it should work. If there is a file conflict, nothing will be deleted, just the conflicted file with have the word "conflict" in the name. So you can do a text compare between the original and that file to see what needs to be merged.

Syncthing is self hosted, obsidian has desktop and android apps. You can exclude certain files or folders from being synced on a certain device with syncthing. Obsidian uses markdown so that might take some getting used to, but the plus side being all your notes will be text so you aren't locked in to using obsidian.

You can also use another markdown / text editor as well, maybe one that supports wiki links for obsidian compatibility but obsidian works with the markdown link format as well.

I've been playing the first Legend of Zelda game. I'm surprisingly having fun, but I think it's due to save states. The combat in the game is brutal.

It's inspired me to try making a 2D open world game in Godot.

I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there's a story, and isn't just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it's my favorite in the genre.

Ones I've played and liked / have on my list to play that look good:

  • Outer Wilds - (I still need to play the DLC)
  • Deathloop
  • Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
  • Undertale?
  • The Sexy Brutale
  • Zero Escape series (on my list to play)

Ones I don't like as much:

  • The Forgotten City - I liked the story (for the most part) but I felt it was spoiled far too early. I think by being a shorter non-linear game that was likely to happen. I got 3/4 endings in 6 hours. It was very hand-holdy which I didn't like. It had quests and quest markers which I felt didn't help the game at all. I wish it went the Outer Wilds approach and instead listed everything you learned, so the player would have to piece together what they needed to do next.
  • Twelve Minutes - I watched a playthrough of this game. The story was very interesting, but I don't think I would have the patience for the puzzles, it's a puzzle heavy game. I would like a game with more exploration.
  • Minit - Played it for ~3 hours, it was interesting but I would like a longer time loop.

These games have a time travel mechanic which I still enjoy but aren't really what I'm looking for:

  • Braid - The story is very interesting but it's a puzzle platformer with levels.
  • Life is Strange - I love this game but it's a time travel game rather than a time loop.
  • Chrono Trigger - I think this game has time travel instead of a time loop, it's still on my list to play.
  • Steins;gate (now on my list to rewatch rather than play, and it's more time travel rather than groundhog day time loop).

Are there any hidden gems I'm missing? Preferably looking for games I can play on PC but I also have a Switch, Wii U, and 3DS.

That I've only played 400 out of the 1600 games I own (in my defense I got a lot of these games from bundles) and I have 6800 hours total playtime.

My partner and I played through Divinity Original Sin 2 many times with co-op, and now we are playing through BG3 and we are having the time of our lives. It's really really good. It's like co-op in DoS2 but I'd say it's even better.

Just make sure you recruit someone and they recruit someone to your party (just like in DoS2) so you both get to control another character. But it's really easy to switch out party members if they are in your camp.

the experience on mastodon / micro blogging platforms is very different from lemmy which is more of a forum / link aggregator. I get that the fediverse can be tricky to understand but I think for the best user experience it might be better to have a microblogging account for all those instances, and a forum account for lemmy / kbin. I think there's features that some platforms have and others don't? and the interface is very different.

although kbin is different as it supports both, and hashtags.

I'm really enjoying co-op games that I can play with friends. Like Phasmophobia, Necesse, Minecraft, Terraria, Back 4 Blood, Battlebit, PlateUp!

  1. downvotes can be disabled by admins of the instance for the entire instance, so it's optional and up to them. is there a karma system with lemmy (like showing how much total karma you have on your profile)? I know kbin has that

  2. user level instance blocking would be nice to have!

I used to play a lot of games on miniclip wayyyy back when flash was a thing, but nitrome games were my favorite:

  • Final Ninja series (2 games I think?), 2D platformers where you could swing around and also shoot enemies with ninja stars. had a lot of levels to complete
  • Dirk Valentine, 2D platformer, similar to final ninja but with a different theme
  • Avalanche, a 2D game where you are a penguin trying to escape the avalanche by sliding and avoiding obstacles. I think this had a lot of levels too

Looks like nitrome has these flash games to download on their website, but they also converted / are converting them to html5 as well. I'm so glad these aren't lost!

I watched a playthrough of it 6+ years ago and I STILL think about the story/ending from time to time. it's so damn good

A very niche tv show at this point, but it's very very good /c/personofinterest
