That disconnect in expectations is definitely what I had in mind in asking this, yeah. One hears game, thinks fun, it doesn't fit their idea of fun, and the game unintentionally disappoints in the process.

Or like some exhibits in a museum, but also media like Flower. It's called a video game, but I feel like that's for lack of a better term more than anything. It's lovely whatever you may call it.

I knew I forgot something, sorry...I'm asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren't necessarily aiming to be fun. More like a little dry but still interesting and thought-provoking.

 

I'm asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren't necessarily aiming to be fun. Say a little more serious or dry, but still interesting, thought-provoking, and emotionally compelling.

 

Think of some stuff you may already self-host but it'd make it easier (and maybe keep your config simpler) to suggest to others if it had a desktop/mobile app version

I'm asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances' stuff, how do they find the remote instances' stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds

yeah, but you gave me an even better idea: fake eggs filled with even more dampening material! it would be eggstravagant!

is this how you start a polyamorous relationship?

My question is coming more from the perspective of, "i think i'd like to try voice chatting but i really don't want to be that roommate someone wants to strangle"

but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

Hadn't come across this before, thanks!

silly follow-upwould keeping and rotating the eggs improve the sound dampening?

Get a cruise ship horn (make sure it’s rated for 140-150 decibels) and play it for the entirety of the call.

Would "TRAIN SOUNDS (true volume, horn every 5 minutes) 24-HOUR MIX" also work?

 

Original clunky title: How do ActivityPub instances' people initially find remote instances' people/communities/channels/etc. to vary their feeds?

Given that an instance won't see remote instance's people and stuff to follow/subscribe to until someone there has found them and followed/subscribed...That's generally how ActivityPub works, isn't it?

 

I know using a headset helps, but you're still talking, so...Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or...?

How do you check to ensure you're still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?

Also this isn't a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I'm not being too loud.

Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.

Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don't want to do with it.

Any ideas how it might restore the backup on signing in without needing your key afterward if it's E2EE? Doesn't this call into question their E2EE claims?

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm also making sure only to use drives whose S.M.A.R.T. can be read without removing their enclosure.

That's a good call, which drives have you found that support this?

 

Also: how do you identify a work as peer reviewed?

 

For any range of topics, lighthearted to serious, hobbies and games to helping and engaging with community matters. Regarding reach, I mean what ways may be used alongside word of mouth, as I honestly don't hear people talk about groups they're in (besides sports/bands) all that much.

 

Original, clunky form of the question:

What gameplay settings/options that some game genres don't often have would make you more apt to play them?
