@TheDude@sh.itjust.works, this is what I messaged about before seeing there was a thread.

I hope that comes eventually. Right now I browse an instance in another tab or window, then copy/paste the community name I want to join into the search on my instance.

Plus once other services like k.bin start communicating more freely with Lemmy it can stay relevant.

The 'spoiler' filter tag is a nice alternative to NSFW...when it works.

Unfortunately, Reddit doesn't always apply the thumbnail blur, which led to The Mandalorian being spoiled for me. :-(

The NSFW filter is going to suck. Not because of porn, I don't care about being able to access that on Reddit, but because of the NSFW tag culture. For example, in some miniature painting hobby subs, people will mark anything with blood painted on as NSFW. Hell, over the past 3 years I've seen more and more text posts get a NSFW tag for swearing.

As much as I want to support Relay after using it for so many years, it would suck not knowing what pseudo-NSFW content is being hidden from me.

Dead Space is fantastic. I never played the original, so I'm glad this remake knocked it out of the park. It's more action oriented like Resident Evil 4, but still atmospheric enough with headphones or a good sound system.

RE7, on the other hand, gets my blood pumping the way Amnesia did when I (tried) to play.

Here's the source article from The Verge

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass.

The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Verge, is in response to popular subreddits going dark this week in protest of the company’s increased API pricing for third-party apps. Some of the most popular Reddit clients say the bill for keeping their apps up and running could cost them millions of dollars a year. More than 8,000 Reddit communities have gone dark in protest, and while many plan to open up again on Wednesday, some have said they’ll stay private indefinitely until Reddit makes changes..."

I was a huge fan of Wizardy 8 when it released. Being able to type questions and responses to NPCs in a 3D RPG was mind blowing to teenage me. The older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall can be fun for a while as well.

The isometric games from Black Isle Studios were also top notch 90s/2000s RPGs. Baldur's Gate (I & II), Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are all fantastic. Planescape is less combat focused than the others.

I don't think the model was being racially charged, but that's an interesting thought. My intent when I entered Balrog was to get the Lord of the Rings one, but it landed on the Street Fighter character named Balrog.

 

First time messing with AI art. Not the Balrog I expected, but a welcome surprise!

I'm using jerboa right now and NSFW is blurred for me when viewing all. Could what instance you're on impact that?

Edit: Although I will say, the blur isn't strong. You know exactly what you're getting before clicking.

I'm fine with a horribly distasteful comment, but for the love of God make it a unique horribly distasteful comment.

You have my bow.
