I was made aware of this game not long ago, drawn by its strong Redwall energy. Really interested in playing or running it.

Though I can't help but notice how this "review" really doesn't mention any downsides whatsoever. Maybe that's just how the reviewer rolls.

You just dropped a mind bomb on me. Suddenly things make sense :o

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

Is the lack of punctuation intended?

Very exciting. I somehow had no idea they even had a BC. I'm listening to these immediately

Or old books! I just love the smell of books in general.

Sorry, are you converting it, lossily, twice? That's like twice the lossiness! Just convert it once.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

Wow. What a show. I am so excited for the experiences DE has in store for both Soulframe and Warframe. It's crazy that we're able to have them for free. And i think that's very important.

That Wizard came from the Moon!

(I actually expected a much worse reply) Nah I willingly interpreted what you said in the most extreme way possible. But in my mind there's something of a ceiling when it comes to noticable improvements in audio quality, especially when compared to visuals, and it's much lower than lossless. Besides, encoding is far from the only determining factor of audio quality. I think now, as discussed in other threads, the primary factor of ballooning file size is sheer quantity. We want more dialogue, more varied and adaptive music, more immersive soundscapes - and there's no trick to achieving this other than more content, meaning more disk space. Maybe one day we'll find an audio compression algorithm that will perform miracles, but until then audio still forms a significant portion of any game's install, compressed or not.

You really want lossless audio in games? Do you know how big FLACs are in comparison to OGGs? Could most people really hear the difference? Keep in mind the quality of the average headset or desktop speakers. I don't think any games store lossless audio. If they did, I'd bet they would be much, much bigger.

 

Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What's the catch?

Can anybody not in the instance I'm logged into see this post?

 

This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean.

So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance:

  • The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems.
  • The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community via the instance I searched it on, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet.

Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
