More information on the layoffs
  • Sucks to be me, who relatively recently hopped on the train and is actually excited to see what happens after this saga.

    When art cares only about being profitable...

    Then again, I see what they were saying about overdelivering. How do i say this. When expectations are high, so is the risk. The more resources you put into a release, the greater the loss if it fails. Live service is all about momentum, and once you lose momentum, it takes a very careful hand to make sure everything doesn't fall apart. Bungie is not led by careful hands, it seems.

  • More information on the layoffs
  • Interesting that it mentions this.

    The layoffs are part of a larger money-saving initiative at Sony’s PlayStation unit, which has also cut employees at studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and its San Mateo office.

    So it seems Bungie management was told by Sony to start snipping after all? I don't know what to make of this.

    Also, crazy that Mike Salvatori of all people was let go. Maybe he can team back up with Marty now...

  • TennoCon 2023 Megathread
  • Wow. What a show. I am so excited for the experiences DE has in store for both Soulframe and Warframe. It's crazy that we're able to have them for free. And i think that's very important.

  • Thoughts on Pleroma?
  • Nah. It's hearsay that i didn't look too deep into. But thanks to some replies I've found out that Pleroma also has its own problems. And considering what I'm intending to use such a platform for - following other people and occasionally posting updates of my own - Mastodon serves this purpose well. Plus, it's reasonably popular now, so it's more likely that people have it.

  • Thoughts on Pleroma?

    Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What's the catch?

    (I am not very experienced with the fediverse, having only just joined Lemmy)

    PokemonROMHacks @lemmy.world DaforLynx @lemmy.zip

    Resource: pret, the team who is decompiling every Pokémon game

    github.com pret

    pret has 25 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

    https://github.com/pret

    If you want to start romhacking, or are just curious about how the games were put together, there is no better time than now. Thanks to the efforts of pret and the open source community, every mainline Pokémon game up to Emerald has been decompiled.

    I mean most members here were probably aware of these, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who didn't know these existed

    I think this community could serve as a great repository for resources on romhacking. If only because much information on romhacking is not very easily searchable, or old, or trapped in forums. Surfacing that info here would add value to this community. And if the instance goes down, at least federated instances will still have the info.

    This Week In Destiny 6/29/2023
  • On one hand, I feel that frustration from server issues when I just want to play Destiny.

    On the other hand, nobody's forcing me or anyone else to play Destiny. Just our own sense of FOMO that devs love taking advantage of.

    Best of luck to the backend team. They're probably putting up with loads of technical debt and other problems.

  • Will someone please help me understand what this pop-up mean?
  • I believe it just means you need to retrieve the post via your logged-in instance. Basically make sure the URL begins with your instance. This is one of my frustrations. You click on a lemmy link but can't interact with the post unless you are logged in. So you have to go to your own instance and manually search for the post?

  • Maybe hosting communities here isn't a good idea after all

    After all, don't many platforms (or heck, browsers) render .zip URLs nonfunctional due to security concerns? Meaning our community.lemmy.zip links may not automatically hyperlink when we want them to, or it may trigger security risk popups. Whoops. Feel free to correct me.

    Can anybody see this post?

    Can anybody not in the instance I'm logged into see this post?

    Feature requests: default comment sort and community search linking

    This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean.

    So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance:

    • The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems.
    • The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community via the instance I searched it on, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet.

    Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
