This was pretty much my reaction as well.

I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up.

Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks

I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml?

Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?

Like others have mentioned, I am in the same boat of having multiple communities to follow with the same name but on different instances and I forget about others or (more likely) don't even know that others exist.

It does bug me that I can't group communities that exist on different instances together. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to a collection of communities that I can give a label to.

A way to group all patientgamers communities together would be a huge help.

It's just the way the whole federation stuff works I guess. And I like it...Except for when I don't 😂

Hey everyone,

We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that.

It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

  1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
  2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
  3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too.

I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ).

I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!


UPDATE 4/30/24:

This contest is officially over!

The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

@[email protected]

@[email protected]

Congrats!

I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

This has definitely been the case with me as well. Especially as I got older and had less time to play anything.

I've always been partial to story over mechanics though. I just think the preference has tilted much further in favor of story games now.

What size is that dial?

Wow that's an amazing run you've given that kindle! I used to have that one as well, years ago.

If you are sticking in the Amazon/Kindle world, then a new Kindle (whether you go with the base Kindle or the Paperwhite) you'll have a much faster experience for sure. The newer eink readers now can do several page turns without any real visual flash of the refresh. It's a small thing but very nice.

The Paperwhite has a backlight which is helpful for night reading. You'll also get dark mode in the new software (not sure if your keyboard kindle has stayed up to date with software updates or not). Also there's waterproofing.

The base kindle just loses the light and the waterproofing.

If you're not going to stick with Amazon, take a look at the Kobo readers. They're a great alternative to people not stuck in the Amazon world.

I can fetch the comments for a post using the API using:

comment/list?post_id=

and that works fine but I have a question about how to determine what comment is a reply to another/ determining the comment nesting/threading.

From what I can tell the only thing tying any two comments together is the comment.path prop.

Is that correct?

That prop seems to be in a format where each nested comment has the root parent path number followed by . then their unique number. And each subsequent comment is another number sequence after that and so on.

Example:

root comment:

{ 
     "comment": {
          "path": 12345
     }
}

child comment 1:

{ 
     "comment": {
          "path": 12345.327928
     }
}

Is this correct?

Can someone who has used this API explain how this works? There are no doc comments in the docs for the http client so I'm just winging it here.

Yup! I see there's another Patient Gamers on another instance too:

https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

I think when I start getting to the subscribing functionality in my summer lemmy app project I'll try and add some type of grouping.

Would be nice to have the multireddit type functionality to see a combined feed of communities with the same name that you follow on various instances.

It's only been 2 weeks since starting this community up but I do love how active it has been.

Lemmy was very much a ghost town for me when I first signed up and couldn't find any communities to match the ones that filled my feed on reddit.

Now I see a healthy amount of activity in this and other communities that have sprung up recently.

Really cool to see people starting threads and offering the nuanced discussions on games here--which is really the stuff I was hoping would happen.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted and commented and contributed to making this community alive.

Keep it up!

I just tested this on my phone now in Jerboa and it opens the community in-app for me, not a browser. .

I'm in version 0.0.32

r/thatsabooklight was one of my favorite super niche subreddits I followed on reddit.

So glad someone decided to start the same community here!

Hey everyone!

Figured I'd start up this community as I look to replicate the subreddits I followed now that I'm here on Lemmy.

My summer project is creating a Lemmy mobile app in RN and I hope to engage with other devs here during the process.

Hopefully we can get a decent community here.

Sticking with my “old” theme, here’s one from Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I did love that T-Rex fight.

This is old but I do love matte paintings.

Nice collection of some great ones here.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same here.

I read these articles as a nice piece of mind for future me to have a solution should I ever need it.

But my steamdeck joysticks haven't been an issue at all so far.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow I am the exact opposite 😂

I would not be for the removal of these points as the only option here.

If anything having a new option in the settings of the app to hide any up/down/vote counts seems like the only way to not make some people happy and others upset.

Let people choose.

I still think showing those numbers should be the default though.

#1!

I remember going to the bookstore and looking at a Nintendo Power magazine. The postcards they had in there for you to mail in and subscribe always had art or photos on them. And one of them had a small blurry photo of one of the dungeons in Zelda.

I yanked that postcard out and took it home with me to study the dungeon with a magnifying glass so I could beat it 😂

Reproduction steps:

  1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
  2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
  3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

Expected Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

Actual Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

With the news that the the new 16 series will offer gpu modules for upgrading, I really hope someone makes a non-laptop enclosure for the mainboard +gpu.

I'd love it if instead of buying non-upgradable mini gaming pcs I could have one of these that offers more flexibility, upgrades, and would be supporting a company I think should be rewarded for their entire ethos.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Please do! That would be great!

Not a recent movie but still a good video that covers the type of cg/composting I always find fascinating.

Anything good?

I'm hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.
