So far, this has a 91% positive rating on Steam based on 100 reviews. It offers gamepad support and is playable on Steam Deck. I like the 2D sprite-based pixel art style, and it's very colourful. Definitely promising!

This one is shocking because it's published by Kemco, and they almost only ever make JRPGs. But here it is, a puzzle game! It's fairly inexpensive and actually has a discount. There's gamepad support, so that's nice. I have no idea if it's good, but there's a demo -- so try before you buy.

Not many reviews on this one yet but it has a great premise. Instead of jumping from platform to platform, you sling a web. At C$2.59, it's also super cheap. The visuals are what you'd call "minimalistic", but I think this is a fascinating game.

 

Venomous is a 2D action-adventure game where you play as a skilled hero wielding web-slinging, slashing, and shuriken abilities to explore handcrafted levels, defeat unique enemies, and conquer epic boss battles.

Another horror game, but this one has PSX visuals. Plus, it's free. It has something to do with a cult and it has multiple endings.

Impressive visuals with this one but you'll need some good hardware to get the most of it: recommended specs are 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. This game has good reviews, has a demo, and also has gamepad support. Also, this one has a nice setting.

 

BrokenLore: LOW is a psychological horror game set in a mist-covered, beautiful Japanese village, blending hyper-realistic graphics with low-poly elements. The main enemy is a Gashadokuro, a yokai from Japanese folklore.

The usefulness will need to be demonstrated over the long term, but this new discovery has just resulted in the creation of four new communites:

I've created four new #Piefed photo-based communities. They are:

  1. [email protected]
  2. [email protected]
  3. [email protected]
  4. [email protected]

I'll mostly be using these communities to post photos from #Akkoma and #Pixelfed. Not only will they categorize these photos in a coherent manner, they'll be open for other contributors, and also be easy to moderate.

Why not use hashtags instead? Simple: anyone can use a hashtag and no one can moderate them. Which means they're easy to spam.

For my purposes, groups are simply better.

The biggest problem with Friendica groups is that when someone replies to a group post, the group actor boosts all replies to people's timelines -- which proves problematic for people running microblogging software like Mastodon. This also makes popular Friendica groups highly attractive to spammers and trolls because they can say whatever in comments, and now 2.6K people are receiving those messages in their home feeds. It is also very difficult to remove comments and ban people in a Friendica group.

What I like about Piefed is that you can delete and edit anything in a community, ban people easily or unban them, review reports, mark reports as resolved / ignored. And most important, all those tools are easily accessible.

You can see Lemmy posts from Friendica. For example:

You can also see Friendica groups from Lemmy.

Looks like Piefed has a bug where, if you post from a microblogging service, the rest of the post gets cut off after a URL is written.

Here's the original post as it exists on atomicpoet.org:

NeoDB now has five active servers!

All of them allow new sign-ups. The newest server, neodb.kevga.de, is aimed at #German speakers.

If you’re unfamiliar with #NeoDB, it is a media database and social platform that allows users to review art and media. It is similar to #GoodReads, #RateYourMusic, and #LetterBoxd. #Bookwyrm does something similar, but its specifically made for books.

NeoDB has a public user count of 20,713 with 1,980 MAUs.

Around two years ago, I created @[email protected] -- which proved to be one of the most popular Friendica groups ever. Unfortunately, I had difficulty moderating that group and so I decreased my posting there. However, I saw that Piefed has a much more advanced moderation toolkit, so I'm migrating that community over there.

If you still follow @[email protected], be sure to follow [email protected] -- since that Friendica group will be shut down soon.

This community is the next iteration of @[email protected], which is currently a Friendica group that will be retired in a month.

@[email protected] is quite popular, and currently has 2.6K followers. However, I stopped sharing news on venera.social as I discovered that moderation there was quite difficult. Having tested #Piefed for the past month, I am thrilled to see that it has a more advanced moderation toolkit -- so this will be replacing the old community.

A big welcome to everyone who is current or past member of @[email protected].

 

Amiga Yoomp! is a fast-paced arcade game that brings the classic gameplay of its Commodore 64 and Atari counterparts to the 16-bit Amiga platform. Players control a bouncing ball as it navigates 3D-textured tubes filled with different types of tiles, each with unique properties. The goal is to collect points while avoiding traps and hazards that threaten to end the run. Yoomp! is designed to run smoothly on a wide range of Amiga systems, including the A500, A600, A1200, CDTV, and CD32, delivering retro gaming fun with.

 

This community was made because I didn’t see an Amiga community on #Lemmy, so I thought, “Hey, why not make one?”

But I chose to make it on #Piefed instead because Piefed seems to have better moderation options than other federated Reddit-like software.

I’m looking forward to this!

I never grew up with an Amiga. But as I joined the Internet, I became aware of this legendary machine that had incredible graphics and sound -- and did multimedia before it was cool. I already owned a Commodore 64, so the Amiga was always something I lusted for but never got to own.

Even though I've never owned an Amiga, I've emulated one on a Raspberry Pi and have grown to love the great library of games available on the platform. Some day, when I have space in my house, I might buy the genuine hardware.

This community is dedicated to everyone who loves the Amiga, even if you never grew up with one. Also, I'm looking for mods so if you want to help run a fun community devoted to the Amiga, this is an opportunity. 🙂
