Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of August 6th, 2024
  • I've kind of been bouncing off a few things this week. I'm playing through Freedom Planet for the first time and loving it (I've already bought the sequel in preparation), chipping away at Brotato, playing a bit of N++, and doing a few runs in Darkest Dungeon 2. I finished Super Mario Wonder after bouncing off it when it originally came out, and now I'm just trying to cram anything into the hole.

  • Fiction audiobooks you've enjoyed?
  • IT by Stephen King was read incredibly by Steven Weber.

    Stephen King got me into Audiobooks after being a bit hit-and-miss with them but I've been using them when I'm out walking and then read the book when I'm home and have time. It's been a great way to zoom through his back catalogue.

  • Did anybody watch TOS for the first time AFTER Strange New Worlds?

    I've been watching the Next Generation for a while but on my dad's recommendation I started SNW and I love it. I'm getting through it really quickly and thought about jumping straight to TOS after.

    Is it going to be really jarring or do the two sync quite nicely? Do the characters feel a bit flat after all the exploration they get in SNW?

    Does anyone else have problems posting to hexbear from Sync?

    It always fails and saves as a draft for me.

    This is the error I get every time.

    Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?

    When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.

    Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it's clearly not everywhere.

    Am I the only one who's feeling like we've just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?

    Are we going to be federating with Hexbear when they federate net week?

    I know we're not federated with lemmygrad but hexbear seems more leftist in general rather than pure tankie/ML. They'll also be the biggest (or second biggest?) instance when they start federating.

    What are the general thoughts on it? I personally wouldn't mind and browse hexbear every now and then already so I might be biased. I think there's a fair amount of likeminded people there though.

    Why do I see different posts depending on which app I use?

    I've Installed all the available apps to test out and it seems like everyone shows me a completely different set of posts to the others!

    Are there any communities for epilepsy and epileptics yet?

    My son is epileptic and I used to find the Reddit community was great for asking questions.

    Mod question: Where are the posts for my community?

    Hey all, I'm the new mod for /c/podcasts here but I've noticed none of the previous posts are showing up. I can see everything in the comment tab and when I click on the "show context" for a comment I can find the original posts.

    Does anybody know why this is or how I can fix it?

    Can anyone recommend me a good UFO podcast similar to High Strange?

    Can anyone recommend a UFO podcast that's mostly grounded in reality and facts like High Strange or The UFO Rabbit Hole?

    Plug and promote your podcasts!

    Hey everyone,

    If you have a podcast you're a part of and want to get some new listeners, please post the title and a short podcast summary here.

    Thanks!

    Welcome everyone!

    To whoever finds this new community, welcome!

    I thought I would start this community off by sharing my favourite app and podcasts and would invite you to do the same.

    I've been an Android user for many, many years now so I've been through every podcast app there is. The one I always come back to though, is Podcast Addict. The dev is really responsive, hard-working and listens to the community. The app itself has just an insane amount of features and anything you can think of is generally possible. I also like Podcast Republic and PocketCasts but they might be better suited to people who don't want to tinker as much and get everything little thing working as they like.

    I go through new podcasts constantly so my favourites do change a lot, however, at the moment these are my favourites.

    • Last Podcast On The Left - They're a comedy true-crime/ paranormal/ weird stuff/ gory history podcast. They've been around a long time now and I always go back to them.
    • Chilluminati - This one is very similar to LPOTL but they do a lot of new conspiracies (the fun kind not the poisonous kind) and internet mysteries which I enjoy. They also have a slightly different dynamic in that two of the guys are believers and one is a sceptic.
    • Swinded - Swindled is a true crime podcast but it handles exclusively blue-collar crime, so shady business dealings, human rights violations, scams etc. It's really informative and really well written.
    • All Systems Goku - I'm not a huge anime fan but I love Dragon Ball. This series has been finished a while now but it's worth going back to every now and then. It's two comedians watching DBZ for the first time.
    • Retronauts - Admittedly, I haven't listened to this one in a while but it's a great retro gaming podcast with great hosts and guests.
    • You're Wrong About - A really fun and informative podcast about subjects and topics the public usually has a take on that might not be the entire truth.

    Anyway! Welcome to the community and I can't wait to read everyone's replies!

    Has anybody played the new Etryian Odyssey HD collection and how do they compare to the originals?

    The only EO game I've played was IV on the 3DS. I bought it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I was looking forward to this new collection but the price is kind of putting me off so I might just get one instead.

    Anyway! Has anyone played both? How do they compare? Are they worth getting for this price or should I wait for a sale?
