Lemmy uses markdown to format posts. So yeah, a "markdown mode" would be awesome (just insert escape characters before each * and \ etc.)

Or maybe I'm wrong ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶ (huh, Voyager comes with an emoticon picker)

Edit: it worked, I'm not wrong

Big agree. I bought it day one because initial reviews were good. Remember people saying Bethesda cooked? Played it till 6AM that day. A week later I booted it up again, and... After a few hours, I stopped and never opened it again. I don't know exactly why. It's exactly what we expected - Skyrim in space. But I think the realistic space-explorer fantasy and not very gripping story or characters just didn't appeal to me as much as i thought it would, and made me want to play TES instead.

I was made aware of this game not long ago, drawn by its strong Redwall energy. Really interested in playing or running it.

Though I can't help but notice how this "review" really doesn't mention any downsides whatsoever. Maybe that's just how the reviewer rolls.

You just dropped a mind bomb on me. Suddenly things make sense :o

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

Or old books! I just love the smell of books in general.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

That Wizard came from the Moon!

(I actually expected a much worse reply) Nah I willingly interpreted what you said in the most extreme way possible. But in my mind there's something of a ceiling when it comes to noticable improvements in audio quality, especially when compared to visuals, and it's much lower than lossless. Besides, encoding is far from the only determining factor of audio quality. I think now, as discussed in other threads, the primary factor of ballooning file size is sheer quantity. We want more dialogue, more varied and adaptive music, more immersive soundscapes - and there's no trick to achieving this other than more content, meaning more disk space. Maybe one day we'll find an audio compression algorithm that will perform miracles, but until then audio still forms a significant portion of any game's install, compressed or not.

You really want lossless audio in games? Do you know how big FLACs are in comparison to OGGs? Could most people really hear the difference? Keep in mind the quality of the average headset or desktop speakers. I don't think any games store lossless audio. If they did, I'd bet they would be much, much bigger.

Second one, pretty sure. Daggerfall, you have been assigned a mission but end up marooned in a cave...dungeon...

Though maybe I'm misremembering the premise, and you do actually start as a prisoner

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.
