I felt disheartened a bit ago because I posted discussion questions sometimes on !otomegames@ani.social and did not get any bites besides my own starter comment answering my own question (not in the post body so as not to elevate my own opinion above the others, and posted also to encourage people to post: 1 comment is easier to speak up with than 0, I think, because that 1 comment might give you something to engage with if the post itself did not). I posted discussion questions in several communities today, including !otomegames@ani.social, got bites, and I'm delighted reading all the responses.
(in !pokemon@lemm.ee, !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de, and one in !tycoon@lemmy.world that I crossposted to !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works)
I wonder how much of this is network effects? I cannot describe how many times I have fired up Minecraft all over again after not touching it for awhile because oh, a friend made a server and my other friends are playing too! At least in my experience, it seems to just be a thing that if a social circle contains mostly people who happen to enjoy video games, even if we formed around liking to sing or something and not our love of video games, it will try to make a Minecraft server.
Players will be able to toggle between the new and previously existing visuals of Minecraft with the simple press of a button, meaning a classic look can be maintained by those who desire it.
thank goodness, shaders are pretty but I am massively suspect to nostalgia bias and I do not want to dedicate performance to shaders if my computer cannot handle it
That is so interesting. In the tycoon games I have played I do not remember having competitors too often.
In that case it was absolutely not what I was looking for at all, but your second paragraph in this comment was.
This motivated me a bit too, I knew my classmates liked Pokémon so I checked it out a bit to find out why.
Too bad I actually, properly got into it over a decade later.
I may or may not have poked my head into English-speaking yumejoshi communities and I think they use the one I said. Sorry if I came off like I was demanding something, was just curious!
For anyone curious what this actually is it is a video of arbitrary code execution in a copy of Pokémon Yellow, including but not limited to that Portal song "Still Alive".
I certainly hope you're staying healthy, but I'm glad you managed to hit your goal. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what to say to a story like this without it coming off performative.
Even though I have the reverse perspective on the games (I do like open world games, but I like the old formula you speak of better for Pokémon), we probably share an opinion subs over dubs. Interesting read, thanks for typing all that out! This is the kind of response I was really hoping to get to my question, and I am really enjoying the answers everyone put here.
I spent most of my post talking about the cool webring, don't worry!
If you are not already subbed to !webrevival@lemm.ee I feel you'll really like it there if you click the links they post.
Your link works! Thanks for both the Dropbox and the GitHub. I'll probably use your Dropbox to play but I like reading dev thoughts on their GitHub. And I am sure some who stumble on this post will probably prefer videos to show them how to do stuff.
I am also mostly a duplicate of your perspective so I would not be too useful! I'll try to contribute whenever a VN drifts across my feed and I can share it though. You have helped me not be the only poster of !otomegames@ani.social and I ought to pay it back.
Our Life is a great self-insertion game.
I thought "yumejoshi" applied to any fan who liked to self/OC-ship. So if there was a game with a defined MC, a fan who liked to imagine themselves instead of MC with one of the LIs would be a yumejoshi. Please let me know if I'm wrong! I don't have an understanding of Japanese fandom the way a lot of otome lovers do (wonder if they gained it through being bilingual?) and I'd like to learn.
I'll be honest, I'm very unfamiliar with the RTS genre, would you mind explaining?
I'm finding a few hacks called Pokémon Legacy, can you point me to the one you play?
That bottom trope is both annoying but I can deal with it. The third bullet is mostly the same aside from pet names, I think because MC is not myself so my own reaction to being very selective about what names feel weird and which don't is gone, I can still genuinely believe he likes her.
Non-existent MC? Do you mean a blank slate self-insert one? I've seen the term yumejoshi before but I have not seen it used for blank slate self-inserts.
I was tangentially aware of it because of the internet, and sometimes looked into it a bit more out of general curiosity. I think it was because the little critters looked cute, and I knew a lot of people liked it and was curious about its popularity.
Glad to see someone else with this view. When I pop my head into the Anime and Manga communities I saw people calling stuff that interested me low-quality and trash. It's perfectly fine to have your own set of preferences and express it, including dislike of things! But it did make me wonder if there was anyone like me who might enjoy what others consider trash sometimes, or even who might like the same stuff I liked, or if I would be mostly alone on Lemmy in liking what I like. It is nice to know I'm not.
I will admit that I don't think I have much of a quality filter at all. But I do have a finely-honed "will I like it?" filter.
