Day 88 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

Today’s game is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I was stuck in a car for 6 hours and when I got home just wanted to relax. So this is what I turned on.

I caught a tilapia I named Todd, and took this screenshot out front of my home after putting him in my home. I don’t spend much time on this game as I struggle with games that need commitment (I think that much is obvious though), so my game is not very far along even half a year in. I just got to the point where I can construct the house for the three villagers moving in today.

It’s a shame though I can’t stay with this game. Because I love the early game. Pole vaulting around is awesome and satisfying. The wild but chill vibes I get from the game are nice too. I have the soundtrack saved to my iCloud music library just so I can play it while working.

I love these posts.

I look forward to these with every refresh of my Lemmy feed. I don’t want an endless loop of “news”. I just like hearing from normal people enjoying games.

I like them as well cause they‘re simple, short, and don‘t overshare. Just one purposeful screenshot and some tidbits about the game where you think „good for you, dude,“ drop a like, and move on with your life lol

I always try to contribute something so it’s not just a picture and then me dipping. I’ll usually talk about what I did in the game, and if I can’t do that then I’ll give a review of the game or just talk about it

I will always downvote these posts lol

I get that the content isn't for everyone, but could always block OP or just keyword filter depending on what frontend/app you use to hide the content if you don't want to see it.

I also made that comment to see if I'd get downvoted for making such a comment, which infact I did. The people in this instance are incredibly incendiary. If you don't agree with the hive mind here, you get blasted. Lemmy is worse than reddit. But like I said, perhaps it's just this instance.

I don't like how everyone's initial reaction is to tell people to just block everything they don't like. Isn't that exactly how you create an echo chamber?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Depends. Echo chambers are also created by upvote/downvote ratios. If the majority are upvoting a lot of content you have no interest in, filtering that content is also a way to avoid an echo chamber from dominating your feed.

I browse a lot by Everything because my limited list of subscribed communities don't yet publish enough content to really fill a day's worth of browsing, so there are a lot of things I've blocked just because it's not interesting to me, or if I am not really the intended audience (e.g. a lot of sports communities for teams I don't follow, german-speaking communities from feddit.org, etc).

I don't often have to resort to blocking specific users, but there's a very small handful of names who post a large volume of content I want to filter but also don't use consistent communities or keywords that I can cleanly filter instead.

Believe it or not, animal crossing is meant to be played in small batches once you get to late game, if that's even a thing in AC lol.
