I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design

Jump

  • The developer is Jonathan Blow. You might want to give Braid a look - it's still a pretty devious puzzle game, but it's not as free-form as The Witness.

    • Baldur's Gate 3 Will Feature 17,000 Ending Variations

    Jump

  • Man, now I'm gonna have to replay it 17,000 times.

    • If you couldn't have a Google Pixel, what would be your "close second"?

    Jump

  • I'd probably prefer a Sony device of some sort but they aren't well priced, so Motorola I guess. I had a Motorola X4 before I got into Pixels, and while I didn't like it being slippery glass, the software was nice and not bloated. It was part of the Android One program, which might not exist anymore.

    • What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️

    Jump

  • If you just want to distance yourself from Google, give OpenBoard a try. It's GBoard without the G. It's been working just the same for me, except for some reason it spontaneously decided to stop automatically capitalizing "I".

    • P7 owners, how do I get decent battery life?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this applies to the Pixel 7, but with the 6a disabling 5G (setting preferred network to LTE) helps appreciably with battery life.

    • Looking for an Android calendar app that will sync with a Windows app like Rainlendar

    Jump

  • No, I'm running an ancient version of Rainlendar now. I'll check out what's current.
    It looks like apps supporting CalDAV iare the way to go, maybe with the Synology Calendar server -since I have a Synology NAS.

    • Role Playing Computer Games

    Jump

  • Consider Disco Elysium.

    • Say you could solicit a notable figure in technology, who would you want to lurk on this instance?

    Jump

  • Steve Wozniak. He's so important that his last name isn't flagged by Firefox's spellchecker.

    • Using Python, How can I create a bot/script that let's me re-post a subreddit's post to Lemmy?

    Jump

    • Best Way to Sync a Folder to my Phone from PC

    Jump

  • Looks like you meant "SyncTrayzor".
    I've considered SyncThing before but it looked very fiddly. SyncTrayzor should be very helpful.

    • Lemmy.world status update 2023-07-05

    Jump

  • Everything is feeling great so far. The only bug I'm encountering is that when opening a thread (in Firefox on desktop) it auto-scrolls down past the content to the replies.

    • Any Coffee Roasting Communities?

    Jump

  • On reddit the spot was /r/roasting, but if/when someone wants to create a forum here I'd suggest calling it CoffeeRoasting to make it easier to find.

    • Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.

    Jump

  • Haven't tried BBEdit - it looks pretty nice. But again, while it is free it's a complicated free that you don't see as often with Windows software.

    • Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.

    Jump

  • Now this might be down to my search skills, but -
    A media player like MPCHC that gives previews when you scrub the timeline
    A reasonably small text editor that understands the different line endings like Winpad.

    I found Elmedia Player for video, but I end up using VLC most of the time since Elmedia doesn't generate previews for remote files. For text I found TextMate, which I like quite a bit.

    Jump

  • This is something I noticed when I got my Macbook. Apps for basic functionality that would be free on Windows are pay for Mac. Mac users are just used to opening their wallets.
