Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

Pretty sure most people just use their Mastodon app. I've heard decent things about Fedilab as well, haven't tried that one myself but I hear it has PeerTube support.

The PT devs have just announced they'll be working on a proper app in 2024 so 🤞

Apparently our modest Christmas dreams are downvote-worthy to someone. But it sounds pretty perfect to me! :D

Just a nice easy Christmas and New Year, at home just me and my partner, no responsibilities, no social obligations, cozy pyjamas, playing games and relaxing together and generally living actual real life for a couple weeks instead of the constant treadmill.

That wasn't really OP's question though. I'm not a fan of mobile games either, mostly for the same reasons as you but also tbh just because I don't like using my phone for much when I could get a better experience on a bigger screen.

But "I have some problems with the choices of the mobile gaming industry as a whole" is a very different statement to "lol mobile loser why don't you try some real games?"

Monkeys, and old people who never learned it! My grandma can just about manage to call me on WhatsApp but sometimes I'll try and demonstrate basically anything else and she genuinely can't see the difference between gestures I'm using, or which parts of the app are interactive or not.

Same in gaming. She saw me playing WoW once in about 2008 and I remember her being genuinely confused about how I could possibly tell what was my character and what was everything else. Even though, you know, your character is always in the middle of the screen. Just couldn't grasp it no matter how long she sat and watched!

Bless 😅

People just like to dunk on things to make themselves feel better. And this can be especially a thing in gaming because lots of gamers are badly-adjusted and desperately need to feel better. It's nothing really to do with mobile games specifically at all, you see the same thing with anything outside of the very narrow window of "real" games ie the games these people happen to be into.

It's one thing to have a preference, it's quite another to look down on other people for having a different one. We're all just choosing to spend our time staring at pixels on a screen.

I make videos and still think they're an unsuitable format for at least 90% of the stuff they get used for.

Deleting such a pivotal post should be a criminal offence.

Like I said the OP seems to have been deleted although turns out you can still see the comments at https://old.lemmy.world/post/440073 which should give you a general idea. Bear in mind most people had been on Lemmy for just a few days at this point.

Must appreciate good sticks.

The first truly viral Lemmy post, I believe. It was a thing to behold. Post over in [email protected] from a guy asking how to not poop for three days but being extremely mysterious about the reasons why.

Did we ever find out why, in the end? Idk but I have chosen to enjoy the mystery.

I already lose track of whether this led directly to the bean craze or if the bean craze was unrelated, but they happened very close together!

Unfortunately seems like the original post has been deleted and now I am sad.
