I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up.

Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks

I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml?

Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?

Hey everyone,

We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that.

It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too.

I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ).

I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!

UPDATE 4/30/24:

This contest is officially over!

The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

@[email protected]

Congrats!

I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

I can fetch the comments for a post using the API using:

comment/list?post_id=

and that works fine but I have a question about how to determine what comment is a reply to another/ determining the comment nesting/threading.

From what I can tell the only thing tying any two comments together is the comment.path prop.

Is that correct?

That prop seems to be in a format where each nested comment has the root parent path number followed by . then their unique number. And each subsequent comment is another number sequence after that and so on.

Example:

root comment:

{ 
     "comment": {
          "path": 12345
     }
}

child comment 1:

{ 
     "comment": {
          "path": 12345.327928
     }
}

Is this correct?

Can someone who has used this API explain how this works? There are no doc comments in the docs for the http client so I'm just winging it here.

It's only been 2 weeks since starting this community up but I do love how active it has been.

Lemmy was very much a ghost town for me when I first signed up and couldn't find any communities to match the ones that filled my feed on reddit.

Now I see a healthy amount of activity in this and other communities that have sprung up recently.

Really cool to see people starting threads and offering the nuanced discussions on games here--which is really the stuff I was hoping would happen.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted and commented and contributed to making this community alive.

Keep it up!

r/thatsabooklight was one of my favorite super niche subreddits I followed on reddit.

So glad someone decided to start the same community here!

Hey everyone!

Figured I'd start up this community as I look to replicate the subreddits I followed now that I'm here on Lemmy.

My summer project is creating a Lemmy mobile app in RN and I hope to engage with other devs here during the process.

Hopefully we can get a decent community here.

Sticking with my “old” theme, here’s one from Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I did love that T-Rex fight.

This is old but I do love matte paintings.

Nice collection of some great ones here.

Always interesting to see the various ways of handling lighting in 2D games.

Reproduction steps:

1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

Expected Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

Actual Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

With the news that the the new 16 series will offer gpu modules for upgrading, I really hope someone makes a non-laptop enclosure for the mainboard +gpu.

I'd love it if instead of buying non-upgradable mini gaming pcs I could have one of these that offers more flexibility, upgrades, and would be supporting a company I think should be rewarded for their entire ethos.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Not a recent movie but still a good video that covers the type of cg/composting I always find fascinating.
