I feel this. I want to support PeerTube/similar — can you recommend one where I can re-upload the YouTube videos I want to preserve? Is that okay to do? Or are those tube sites more for original content?

Again (echoing my top-level comment), I run a music comm on my instance. Not linking because I don’t want to shill for it, but it can’t be too hard to find. I’m wondering if I could (or should‽) use PeerTube/similar to copy/reupload the YouTube videos (because we’re on Lemmy and we’re not supposed to like YouTube, and I really don’t) and then update the links. I actually have a handful of videos YouTube has taken down and I would love to be able to link them. Is that appropriate to ask?

Text. A video link is fine, just sum it up. If I see someone post a video and nothing behind it, I assume they’re just looking to drive engagement to their channel and won’t engage here on Lemmy. I assume they want to engage on the platform they’re posting on.

Disclaimer of bias: I run a comm on Lemmy where I’ve posted over 100 video links with one or more (often a lot more) paragraphs of text behind them. It’s the music comm on the instance I reside on.

Does Ars Technica count? I’m not a member. It’s intimidating because the site caters to science nerds. I’m smart among my people, but I feel like (intelligence wise) I’m just a big fish in a small pond, and that forum is like the ocean — same reason I stay off of “Ask Science” type comms on Lemmy. Some of those places (thinking specifically of their counterparts on Reddit) are pretty brutal if you don’t have a Ph.D.

Anyway, I’d like to know. I kinda miss forums.

I think the ideal would be if we could italicise titles, but we can’t.

Articles and game titles both use title casing though, so it’s grammatically correct. They could have at least put the game title in quotes to make it clearer, though.

The game is called Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse.

Eh, as long as Soulslikes remain popular and win awards, I’m fine with this.

I don’t mind a little challenge as long as I can learn the game and master a skill. I don’t like QTEs at all, and that includes dodge/parry mechanics. It’s like playing Guitar Hero on Expert with a controller, but you can’t see the notes. If you’re doing what the game wants but you’re a second or so off and that napes you lose, that’s a game I won’t complete… or shed a single tear if anyone pirates it or the studio closes. Games that punish gamers shouldn’t exist. If gamers want the challenge they can have it, but it should be optional and not required to complete the story. I’m fine with achievements being disabled for lowering the difficulty, just make the game accessible to differently abled gamers.

That part of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons when you realise why everyone told you that you needed a controller with rumble to get it, and you got it.

I could get a screenshot but the point is the rumble.

This. macOS does do folder sizes. It rarely shows because it takes forever. Maybe if the drive was formatted APFS it would be faster? Not sure though. My drives are NTFS and exFAT.
