That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
I’m glad you found it interesting!
Thanks :)
They’ve a lot of work to do, but it is nice to see a roadmap of what’s ahead for them!
Hahahah thank you!!!
Its…odd, I had a few send me messages on Matrix berating me and saying all kinds of silly crass nonsense that just made them look like children.
I don’t know why, but people get such a dedicated brand-loyalty hatred against Epic that it turns them into cretins.
Fingers crossed they stay quiet this time!!!
And FFS don’t send me weird rage-filled basement-dweller DM’s on all my platforms demanding to know why I’m friendly to Epic. The last time I posted something with Epic news in it, some of you really took it badly.
It was weird.
Nice to see so much care and effort being put in here, Dremor!
I love the thought, and it makes me feel super happy to see this place getting some more focus. Having well and truly burned my bridges (and enjoyed watching the napalm) on my ‘regular’ social media, having this place as my focus on long-form posts just makes me happy. Makes me even more so to see making this place even better is your plan!
I’m happy to raise my hand to moderate, if you still need extra help. I’d guess not since Lemmy’s workload on a modqueue is a small one. But do feel free to reach out to me via DM if you’d like suggestions/recommendations! Having moderated on Reddit (from giant 10m+ subs to the tiny community-focused ones) I’ve got plenty of ideas to encourage more community involvement?!
Take your fking screenshots and go to hell already.
Yeah, great, what a super constructive and positive outlook to have. If you mean these kinds of posts where the they share screenshots and the thoughts they’ve had on how the game plays, each day then I’m not sure how you consider that low effort.
I’m guessing you haven’t even clicked on them?
They write a great deal, show how the game feels, express how they’ve enjoyed the games and if they’d recommend them. I consider these posts one of the more valuable we have here in this community. It’s not just a link and a one-liner, they’re writing and sharing their experiences and creativity. Formatted and so well made.
Its insane to me that you’d think this is shit. What would you prefer be posted here?
That’s really kind of you to do! I’m glad its found a new audience thanks to your help! Thank you for doing that :)
Do let me know how you like it if you do pick it up!!!
It’s hard to resist the urge. Amazing, right?!
That’s kind of you, Dremor!
And thanks for letting me have a space where I can share these long-form posts. They make me happy to write them, and each week its a relief to see them welcomed here :)
That’s really kind of you!!!
Keep an eye out for them in the future then! :)
I am sorry!
I’ve had that a few times, I do know the Boost app for iOS struggles with these posts, too. Glad you worked around it, and sorry it caused your app to get wonky!!!
Oh nice to see you are here on Lemmy, Zurdi! :)
Oh that’s so kind of you to say!! Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I love that in these cases that whim of joining leaves people with a project they love, a community to enjoy, and friends for life!!!
Really, thats what I love in the FOSS world too!
Glad you enjoyed this, let me know what you think of it when you check it out, I’m super curious how you find it :)
God damn it. The wrong ‘to’.
Somehow I didn’t even see it when you pointed it out!!! -__-
Yep, that’s on me!
I get what you mean…kinda negates the ‘unique’ wording there, but the outspoken downside to so, so many handhelds which are released (and touted to be) in ‘competition’ with the Steam Deck tend to omit them. The LeGo got closest with the right-hand side one, which is still kinda small.
I know it’s worded poorly, but I can (if I peer) still see what I’m trying to convey even with how its set out there!
Well, keep an eye on RetroDECK + RomM, being friends with the RetroDECK devs, I can say they’re taking that idea just as seriously as you are!!!
As an aside, I also wanted to thank you for your writing in general. I used to do a lot of writing (heck, I did three quarters of a journalism degree a lifetime ago), and the effort and quality you put into this stuff has definitely started that itch in me again…
Please do!!!
I’d love to read more from ‘our’ circle of people. I find there’s…not enough, which is (in part, anyway) why I like to try my best at sharing this kind of thing. Especially in an atmosphere where short videos are consumed like crazy, where A.I. can slap together (poorly) someone’s writing, and where the big sites are just click-bait or begging for subscriptions and support.
IDK, I’d love to read whatever you’d be writing!
And thank you so much for writing this, I’m gonna link the RomM team to a new convert :P
