I thought y’all was just a gender neutral term combining you and all.

How would it be wrong or offensive to refer to refer to trans person as “y’all”? Genuine question.

Got addicted to AudioSurf 2 over the weekend. Have a small handful of songs on microSD on deck and it’s pretty fun. Otherwise, did some Shotgun King and not much else besides Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. This quarter of college has kinda drained me because of 2 freaking classes I hate.

I personally don’t mind sarcasm online in text form because without that /s I might not even know you’re being sarcastic since my sarcasm meter is set to slightly above autism mode due to practice.

I haven’t seen things that’ll blow you away with how weird they are. Just things like old antique standing doll figure things or the odd looking mug.

I personally have a soft spot for 2D platformers from the Sonic series since I got a copy of the Sonic Mega Collection on gamecube when I was young and loved it. I don’t care if some games do a better job of having worlds where they’re speedy like Green Hill or slow like Carnival Nights (or whatever it’s called), I just like running across the screen. Same thing applies to the 3D games (even the flop I still think was a pretty good game: Sonic '06). Hell, I’m the type of guy who absolutely loves the beat-em-up style gameplay they introduced in Unleashed just for the Werehog sections. The gripes I tend to have are more or less either skill issues or being unable to play around the glitches in the case of '06 (despite not having played it in over a decade).

I’m also big on the Ratchet & Clank style 3D shooter platforming (only played 1, 2, size matters, Into the Nexus/Pirated Booty, and am only in the beginning of deadlocked). I love some of the more wacky weapons (plasma whip, bouncer, black hole gun, etcetera) you can get in the series, which allows me to not get ultra bored part way through the games. The stories also capture me, for the most part, in a first playthrough. They’re not something I take super seriously, so I tend to have a good time with them. Probably my biggest gripe with the game, from what I can remember about Into the Nexus, is how short it felt in comparison to the original trio and size matters. Getting a copy of the first in the PS3 series of games soon, so I cannot wait.

I also had a pretty good time this year with Corn Kidz 64, a shorter platformer that plays like an n64 title in how it controls. Fun enough mechanics but my biggest gripe is how in the end I was left wanting more, in a “I want a sequel” fashion.

Though I did have the misfortune of playing Macbat 64 this year too. It just felt too generic and shovelwear, in my opinion, for me to like it. Play as a bat in small levels with simple puzzles and not much exploration, random mario kart inspired race level in the middle of the game, and also a 2D level based on kirby. I don’t remember the story being much better either. Personally not a game for me.

I would absolutely love it if games started going back to the original Borderlands 1 style maps/areas. The type of maps that were more small-medium sized area that were completely self-contained sections of a larger world.

Definitely one of the reasons I absolutely love the original Borderlands. Large world, but broken into a lot smaller chunks/maps. More games doing stuff like that would be absolutely perfect.

As someone who doesn’t have the time, skill, or knowledge to audit open source projects, I agree on the trusting more popular open source keyboards (and by extension popular open source projects in general).

Here on Lemmy is my favorite considering that’s what I use most on the Fediverse. Second would be the only other one I use: Mastodon.

According to someone else who replied to my comment, it seems it’s some sort of metadata issue rather than an actual rebrand. I’m just an idiot who doesn’t actually look deep enough into this kinda stuff.

Oh… Well, too late for me. Ended up uninstalling it and replacing it with thunderbird because I thought they were rebranding it to thunderbird beta.

Not gonna lie, I was super confused why F-Droid was updating thunderbird beta on my device when I was updating apps a few days ago. Took me a while to realize k9 was apparently changed to thunderbird beta.

Haven’t been playing much on it since I haven’t felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve played any other games.

I remember playing one of the Spy Fox games, the ozone destroying one, sometimes when I would go to speech therapy. It was such a fun game for kid me. Same situation with one of the Pajama Sam games (can’t remember which).

Cannot recall ever playing any jumpstart or magic schoolbus games, though.

As for non-edu games I had as a young kid, I remember having one of the first 2 rollercoaster tycoon games (can’t remember which), a few of the classic “1000 In 1” game discs (pretty sure one might have had a full-on casino game that I used to love) almost everyone seemed to have at least one of, and an I-Spy game (cannot remember which one, but I think it was in a quaint small town on an island).

I’d love to see 沙耶の唄 (Saya no Uta/Song of Saya), a pretty mildly disturbing visual novel, as a short animated couple episode series. I’d love to see how they animate how the main character sees the world with his meat vision.

I don’t think I ever had any type of games that taught teaching. I had games like hooked on phonics type stuff and a Land Before Time math game, among a few others.

Typing was never something formally taught to me, even from a video game. I guess by the 2000s they just didn’t think it was important enough to be taught in elementary school to kids. Yet cursive was deemed something we needed to know.

The only games from my childhood I can ever recall being like that when thinking back would be the edutainment style games I had, obviously.

Saving this post in case I ever get a Dreampi or whatever it’s called and can test it. Or in case someone has an answer.

KDE Plasma. I am not good with making edits/tweaks to desktop environments and really like how MX has it set up.

From what I’ve seen, it looks good. Can’t play the demo for the 2nd game, but from some of the footage I’ve seen, it looks fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
