It is one of the weirdest and most interesting anime series, I'd always recommend it. It is definitely a bit slow at times though, but it was really fun and I'd still say it's worth watching. If you want something similar, but more action-filled (albeit slow and depressing as hell), Texhnolyze also exists.

Actually, those Furfrous are impossible trades. The moment Furfrou is put in a box, it becomes its original form and loses the actual hair style it was. The only way to get Pokémon Home Furfrous with other trims is by having them come from Go, which they only appeared in for a limited time with trims being region-based, and make it better, none could be even close to level 100! You'll sooner find the Galarian Ponyta that can be transferred to Let's Go (this is a real trade you can request, you take a guess if it's possible). 10/10

I'm a bit skeptical myself of this post, but it is being truthful about the Gavin Casdorph name appearing. I know this because I checked to find contact information to send an email with feedback, and I saw that name listed there and had trouble figuring out if it was a typo or if I was sending an email to the right place.

I'm not saying that OP is correct or that I believe the post yet, but that name part is entirely truthful and it's definitely changed since then seeing the app details on Testflight.

I like Lemmy more than I thought I would but it's really rough in areas that Reddit's polished more and it also is, well, pretty quiet. It's a little hard to really dive into it when so much is clearly missing on even just the people not being there. I certainly miss a lot of subs I'd spend more time on, subs that have miles more subscribers than people who even use Lemmy as a whole. I'm hoping that more people jump over to here but it's definitely not the same because there is still a void left unfilled. But I'll live, it certainly reduces how much time I use social media overall since I never was a Twitter user.

As incredibly flawed as Scarlet and Violet are, they make Gen 9 really compelling for me. Love the new Pokemon, playing through with a friend in multiplayer was a blast and being able to have my Pokemon walk with me is great. It's an unfinished and laggy game but I haven't had so much fun in Pokemon since Gen 5. Completely get why not everybody likes it, but I've had so much enjoyment from it.

As for Gen 7? I agree. USUM's only major flaws are linearity (which I would argue was mainly bad for replays but fine overall), and that it removed what made SUMO so nice on its story. Ultra Beasts remain my favorite idea the series has done and the games had all Gen 1-7 mons plus megas plus Z Moves and the music was amazing and Battle Royale is my favorite multiplayer mode. Massively underrated, will be popular in three years when everybody suddenly loves it because old thing good, new thing bad. Mimikyu's amazing.

You would be surprised by how many of us chose off a video game character.

I believe it's just trying to make fun of cops but not coming off as a sarcastic joke and instead misinformation about what's actually a signal for pedos.

If you choose one of the three, note that:

• Cyberpunk is still pretty flawed and has issues and you'll get less battery life though it's a lot better now than at launch and certainly playable
• FFVII Remake is only half of the original FFVII, so you'll end on a cliff hanger and be waiting for the continuation
• No Man's Sky started with tons of issues but is now really content filled and open and polished and at this point pretty well liked

Based on those, I would lean towards No Man's Sky since it has the least amount of concerns (in my opinion).

But if you just want a good story, NieR: Replicant and NieR: Automata are amazing and worth checking out (we have a Lemmy at !nier@lemm.ee) and I'd just really recommend it for the plot alone. Both are on sale and run pretty well, and Replicant is the first game while Automata is the sequel, and opinions heavily vary on which is better on story since they are both fantastic but Automata is more polished. They're also both standalone, so you can play in either order, though I'll always recommend Replicant first. They aren't perfect games but will nail the music and plot, as those are the things most highly praised about them. They're also very depressing!

Rain World isn't AAA but it certainly feels premium and I'd recommend it if you want a really beautiful and interesting open world, but be warned that it's incredibly hard. It's not a game for everybody but it's really amazing and I think it's worth mentioning because the world is huge. Great music there too!

Third party apps let you get the benefit of choosing exactly what works best for you and getting a setup you enjoy. Most of the focus by instance admins would be on ensuring everything doesn't implode and managing fees, but third party apps have a pure focus on usability and dedicate all their resources to making the best experience possible and then the end result is usually way nicer.

This message is being written on a third party app, funny enough! Memmy to be specific.

If you want a good story game, NieR Replicant and NieR Automata are phenominal (Automata is a sequel but both are standalone games so you can play either). Shameless plug of the NieR Lemmy.

Rain World is an incredible work of art. Hard as hell but genuinely an amazing experience unlike others and I highly recommend it, and the DLC is the single best DLC I've ever seen for any video game (and I haven't even finished the DLC despite spending tens of hours on it).

For some fun multiplayer games if you have friends who will grab a copy for themselves too, Don't Starve Together, Stick Fight: The Game, Rounds, and Rubber Bandits are all decent options.

If you somehow don't have Garry's Mod, it's five dollars. Just get it. Just trust me.

And if you like visual novels or just want an absolutely beautiful and horrific story, all chapters of Higarushi are on a mega sale right now.

I honestly don't mind this. This is really useful for small creators in not needing to do workarounds for Patreon or Patreon roles and this makes it easier by being baked into Discord itself. I get the worry of stuff being paywalled but since it is entirely set by the server owner/creator, it would be something to take up with them instead. The 10% cut is a bit rough but I know other platforms also take a cut, but I'm not too sure if 10% is high or low. That would be my own biggest concern since it only makes sense if it is comparable or lower than other platforms like Patreon.

I replaced an aging laptop with mine, and I have to say, Windows is fine on the Steam Deck. It's obviously not going to have all the same bells and whistles but performance for most games is the same and it is more flexible on compatability since it runs natively instead of via Proton.

I've been using dual boot for this and started since I got my Deck in early July last year, and a lot of the hate is really overblown. It's good if you just want to use the Deck the same way as any other computer or with applications that cannot work in Steam OS and it's a completely fine experience, and applications like Handheld Companion or Steam Deck Tools make it simpler.

I would just say that it's up to preference and need since it does need setup and tweaking, so if all you care about is playing a few games that work fine in Steam OS, there is not much reason to dual boot for Windows and Steam OS is simpler to set up. But if you want more freedom on application choices and compatability or even just to use it for more everyday purposes like any other computer, Windows runs perfectly fine on it. It will be ultimately up to preference and use case.
