On Android, I use AntennaPod. Does everything I want from a podcast app and more.

I’m currently keeping a close eye on both Thunder and Liftoff.

Both have been really nice and interesting so far :) I would recommend trying both out and see of one fits your needs.

This looks amazing! I would love to see these implemented/added officially into Beehaw!

That’s how I’ve been starting to see this all as well. The seperate, smaller instances remind me a lot of 00’s phpbb forum, but it’s with the UX of Reddit. Lastly the intercompatibility feels comparable to e-mail: It doesn’t matter that I use gmail and you use Outlook, we can still send eachother an e-mail and both servers will talk to eachother without any issue. It’s the some of the best of many worlds and I’m feeling Lemmy and Kbin are here to stay for me.

My last few adventures have been: J-RPG > Farm sim > City Builder.

It’s been really fun to explore genres and games that I had not really touched before, both new and old games. It made gaming a lot more fun again

FreeTube is what you’re looking for. LibreTube, Newpipe and FreeTube can import/export each-others subscriptions too

I used Newpipe for a while on Android, but recently I discovered LibreTube, which is now my favorite Youtube client on Android. It looks a bit more modern and it actually shows you child comments, instead of just the parent comments. I still use Newpipe as a backup, though.

On desktop, I either use FreeTube, MPV (Pairs great together with Qutebrowser or ytfzf) or simply Firefox with extensions.

Also, I only just noticed that Lemmy actually loads in newly posted comments live in the thread, without the need to reload the page. Very nice!

Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more

Those games might be worth checking out, it’s a very different experience than online multiplayer shooters. But maybe shooters just aren’t your thing at all, which is okay as well :) If you need more game-recommendations, both shooters and non-shooters, I’m happy to scroll though my Steam list and gather some more for you!

No, I don’t and I haven’t felt the need to buy one either. For the few times that I do need a car I’m lucky enough to have family living close by that is always happy to let me use their cars. But even if I didn’t have family living close-by renting a car a few times a year is probably way cheaper in my case than buying and maintaining my own car. Owning a car does have some advantages, but in my case I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Disadvantages are things like: Extra costs for buying the car, maintenance, parking and insurance. Taking up extra space in a crowded city and bad for my health if I get too much used too it.

I would buy one if I really needed one for a job, but so far I really don’t need it (and I could always still buy a car if I do need it more often).

I get 90%+ of my trips around by walking and biking, occasionally by public transport and only a few times per year I need a car. Living in the Netherlands.

What about games like Half Life or Metro? I don’t like most mutiplayer shooters either, but storydriven singleplayer games can be great imo

Free and Open Source software. I don’t mean anything specific, but if you use/need software it doesn’t hurt to search if there are any FOSS solutions available that suit your needs. If it does, you might save a couple of bucks. If it doesn’t you can still use your proprietary solution anyway.

Complete dealbreaker for me. You’ll never actually own games with such models, as you are completely dependand on the publisher. Once they pull the plug, you can’t play the game you paid for. Server probleem? Sorry, you can’t play right now. Traveling? Sorry, can’t play.

It is also generally bad for modding and the overall user experience. These kind of games often have DRM that don’t allow for modding

• Star Ocean First Departure (PPSSPP)
• Star Ocean Second Evolution (PPSSPP, Maybe even Yuzu?)
• Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth
• Stardew Valley
• Wargroove
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Spiritfarer Farewell Edition

Good to hear! I actually still haven’t really played it, although I set it up on my system. I got the urge to play more platforms, including Jak, after I finally beat one of my favorite childhood games, Rayman 2 The Great Escape, a few months ago.

You might want to keep an eye on OpenGoal. It’s a decompilation of the original engine. This allows you to run Jak 1 natively, and they’re working on porting Jak 2 as well. This can also result in higher performance, better graphics and more :)

Same for me and I have to say, I’m really liking it here so far! The community is of course smaller, but it’s still large enough to be engaging and the users are nice so far.

Yes. You could somewhat see it as a combination between e-mail and Reddit.

When you want to send an e-mail to me, it doesn’t matter what e-mail provider you or I use. I could be using username@outlook.com and you could be using username@gmail.com or even some self-hosted, custom instance like user@name.com. It doesn’t matter, all those accounts and e-mail servers can interact with each other.

Similarly with Lemmy, you can subscribe and interact with communities on other instances with your Beehaw account. They are compatible with each other. But instead of e-mail data, they exchange Lemmy data. Anyone can join an excising Lemmy instance/server or even host their own instance if they wanted too.

Valheim and Stardew Valley. Both make me forget time exists.
