I think the type of game really makes a difference. Games with fetch quests, a laundry list of waypoints on a map, and tons of bland cutscenes in between simple gameplay put me to sleep now.

Challenging games keep me better occupied, because it's fun to be solving a puzzle of some sort (even if that puzzle is "how to approach this boss"). Strategy and tactics are consistently fun for me too.

Makes me wonder if they planned it or if mom or dad is artsy and just had a black and white mushroom photo lying around.

This is so true. Kirk was a nerd that grew into being cool. Picard was a troublemaker that learned to become calm and collected.

"it was just a prank"

You and me both then

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it'll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

I'm also surprised it's still visible! My instance upgraded to 0.19 recently, which supposedly takes away the upvote count from your profile view. I was secretly hoping to make it to one million before the upgrade happened... Lol

(Edit: also glad to hear you got into TNG!)

Exactly! And don't get me wrong, there are a ton of great indie 2d games out there now, but back in the SNES days, these were THE devs. You can tell the difference in polish from having been made by the biggest and best studios.

(disclaimer: I didn't make this meme, but I do share the sentiment of rapidly losing focus/mental energy when gaming now.)

Favorite of all time? The SNES. It felt like the peak of 2d graphics before the slate got wiped clean for 3d, so we saw a ton of great games from devs that had been playing/creating 2d games for decades.

Favorite currently? PC. I have a switch, steam deck, and PS5 as well, but 99% of my playtime is on PC.

You're right, we should be cutting out the bloated middleman entirely.

This is a good step in the right direction, but I'd like to see it applied to commercial plans as well. Prior authorization is everything they're saying it is and worse.

If you take care of your words now, then your words will take care of you later.

Haha, you're too kind. I'm just trying to do my part to help grow this place!

Originally saw this posted by The Picard Maneuver. I can’t figure out how to tag him on Voyager.

Don't worry, I'm here too!

Also, I've mentioned it elsewhere, but might as well say here too: Anything I post to Lemmy (including stuff I've made) is totally fair game to post/repost/share anywhere you'd like. I love seeing content spread around the fediverse.

I still play games frequently, but in MUCH shorter sessions. I'm also gravitating more toward slower strategic/tactical games that can be paused at any time.

I knew this reminded me of something!

I remember watching this live and thinking "well that's not good..."

450,000?! That must have taken forever!
