It’s funny, I love vim and have never understood Emacs, but when setting up a shell it seems the Emacs commands felt more natural.

Concept of it sounds good. I don’t think you’re going to get a lot of love here by linking to Reddit and encouraging people to contribute there.

Have you considered aggregating and organizing this info and sharing it on a separate website? (Personally-owned) websites are underrated these days.

I get a lot of mileage out of the line editing commands. I think they are Emacs based and optional… but like Ctrl k, Ctrl u, Ctrl a.

rg and fd have been so much easier to use than the classics to me. Great replacements!

bat is another one that I think can be worth switching to, though not as essential.

Well that looks really nice. Interested to hear more info. The little armor thing at the end, the title, and the ‘new path forward’ tidbit make it sound like it’ll have some interesting twist.

Thank you for sharing, I had no idea this was a setting! That makes it a lot easier to get the other links.

Gaming Historian comes to mind. (Caveat: he’s no longer doing YT full time, so the uploads are a lot less frequent.) Anyway, he started out as the kind of prototypical kid with Youtube videos, doing a pretty well with the history angle. But over time evolved into a serious documentarion doing top-notch work. Along the same line, DidYouKnowGaming went from an ok channel that repackaged pretty common trivia into interesting but almost click-bait videos, into now being an investigative journalist kinda thing, where they semi-regularly share previously unknown information about old or cancelled games. Still on the games side, Electric Playground has been going for like a quarter-century, since back when it had to be on cable TV instead of Youtube, and Victor Lucas still doesn’t suck.

3Blue1brown and Ben Eater make great technical educational videos that, as far as I’m aware, haven’t really degraded.

Yes. But, to perhaps a lower extent, this headline is also true if you change ‘Reddit’ to ‘the internet’.

Right? lmgtfy has always been kinda rude. But much more so now, when talking to a human on the Internet is getting harder, and search engines barely work. If you don’t know you can just ignore it or say that you don’t know.

Or best case, you can use seemingly dead-end questions to further the conversation. “Oh, I just looked it up and I’m surprised to see it’s actually ___. Now that makes me wonder ___.”

A tiny bit concerning to see the good-average consensus, considering the hype that this game once had.

The snippets I read, sounds like there are annoying aspects that shouldn’t be there. But there’s a good Metroid Prime game cased inside those.

I’m sure I’ll find myself enjoying it. Outside of Federation Force, I’ve never not found something to really like about a Metroid game.

Check out !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world to keep an eye out for cool comms. (Also, the former has a pinned post with suggested communities that are not politics/tech.)

SEO slop is the first thing that comes to mind. It’s super-charged in ubiquity with AI now, but it’s been a thing about as long as search engines.

Sometimes you land on a page and you can tell you’re only there because they loaded it with keywords, repeating the same phrases you searched for in every variation.

Definitely have nostalgia for a lot of the early games, mainly the ones coming out before PS3 support basically hit parity.

Underrated aspect that I really miss was the old interface. The Windows 8 stuff they updated it to is so inferior to the blades.

Wonder if there’s any homebrew fix to keep the old UI but be able to play all the games?

Those little parabola mirrors that make the toy seem to float above.

Reminds me of one of my biggest pet peeves - a bunch of games will pop up a warning “Oh no, you’re not on the Internet! Some stuff won’t work!” on start up, always. Hate it, unless I’m trying to connect to a multiplayer mode of some sort.

A setting like this should ideally prevent those.

Right! It’s not that there’s less. It’s that there’s a discoverability issue, and on top of that more stuff means less cultural relevance for any given work.

Had the exact same reaction. Love that Steam keeps this very visible.

The price would have to go negative before I’d consider adding this to my Steam account to rot in my library unplayed.

I don’t think I’d personally have much use for it, at least so far.

But I see it going dark places. If people figured out how to delete their own, that’s one step away from authorities or even just criminals being able to rewrite other people’s realities.

What made you want to learn Korean in the first place? Try to think about what you could do if you knew it, and set up goals that you want to reach.

I realized when I was young that I’d like to learn Japanese. But I put off serious learning for so many years (decades, tbh), and now I think a lot about how I could already be using it for all sorts of day to day (web browsing and entertainment) tasks if I had focused sooner. You learn a language, you can learn or do your other hobbies/interests in that language.

Pokemon Z-A in French is perfect, lol! I’ve been playing it for language learning too (Japanese). I think those games are pretty great for it, good low-stakes, familiar games that have a lot of text, but are also kid-approachable. Would be nice to have voice acting, but otherwise fantastic language immersion games.
