This is 1. not true, as shortwavesurfer says and 2. not an equivalent comparison. This would be like saying that mastodon doesn't talk to glitch or pleroma. But it does, so even if this comparison was equivalent, it'd be false.

Stop using Discord.

I have installed the CEMU Wii U emulator on real Arch and run Wind Waker with it. Maybe look into that if you want the Wii U controls? I haven't tried it on the Deck, but given it runs on vanilla Arch, it's theoretically possible :D

(yes, I know, it's 3D, I didn't say I played it much, just that it works :P )

What kind of writing are you talking about here? If it's something where I don't intend to insert a lot of text and move things around or do other large, structural edits, like journaling, I use a nice fountain pen (e.g. Pilot Vanishing Point) on good Clairefontaine paper. This is also how I write first drafts of poems. Occasionally I'll do some light edits to the original before transferring to something electronic for more serious edits.

Other stuff, like TTRPG adventure building / worldbuilding, I write first drafts on my reMarkable 2. It's an exceptionally hackable (offers root access out of the box!) e-ink tablet running ARM Linux. Once I'm happy with what I've written on the reMarkable, I transfer it to plain text documents written with neovim. I use a couple of plugins for this, specifically vimoutliner and vimwiki. Additionally, these documents live under git version control. I tried more powerful tools like Campfire Blaze and WorldAnvil, but they're just too much tooling for me.

Strongly recommend trying a fountain pen instead of a rollerball or especially instead of a ballpoint. You don't need to apply any pressure. Also, funny thing about fountain pens, people who use them typically observe that their handwriting improves over time :)

Glad to have woman playing.

Just one? Guess it's fitting given you're on lemmy.one :P

RIP Satoru Iwata, the least bad gaming CEO. Dude actually took a pay cut when Nintendo wasn't doing well.

"God" has a lot to do with it, yes.

People like the BBC, yes, exactly.

All indies all the time. I have been thoroughly sick of "AAA" games (and the industry itself) since the switch to 3D. Spelunky HD / 2, the new TMNT, Streets of Rage 4, Neuro Voider, Stardew Valley, and on and on. Also old console games because it's always morally okay to emulate games on old consoles. Related, it's always morally okay to pirate Nintendo's games.

It's surreal, isn't it? I grew up with nethack and angband and moria (also on FreeBSD) and now I play games normal people have heard of!

As OneRedFox says, it's all about the UX. From the perspective of your average gamer, IRC has awful UX. I know that speedrunning, romhacking, and other gaming subcommunities have used / still use IRC, but they're very much on the technical side of gamers. Discord is a lot friendlier to the average gamer (I know, I know, it's Electron and proprietary and shit for reasons besides those two, but consider your average console CoD player here). I still like IRC, too, though I'd love to see it evolve a little more quickly. IRCv3 is nice but my goodness, how long have they been working on it?

More Spelunky 2. It is my current roguelike hyperfixation. I never get very far, but that's not the point.
