Apologies if the crossposting is annoying, just testing out the function and figured these communities are all low traffic for now.

Yeah, I don't mind checking into match threads now and then, but I don't get the people that constantly monitor them, especially in the larger threads where you can barely discuss anything.

It reminds me of people that sit on their phones while watching a TV show/movie. Just defeats the point.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen (hybrid tactical JRPG and visual novel)

And started Spiritfarer from last month's Humble Choice which certainly has "game as art" vibes with its beautiful animation.

And Moeen is in!

Talk about burying the lede. I'm not sure what they are thinking there (I thought the earlier reports were a joke) but that does make things interesting.

They'll probably do the rotation policy thing, which has worked reasonably well in recent years since they've got so many bowlers ready to go and the main 3 are getting older and more injury prone (especially Hazlewood).

Yes, wearing pink at all was seen as feminine or "gay" at the time. Despite progress being slower than I'd like things have changed a lot.

You can use third party sites to find communities, if you're not seeing them in the search (because they haven't federated yet) with one of these:

https://lemmyverse.net/ https://browse.feddit.de/

But that's still going to a third party site so it would nice to have it integrated into the interface.

[email protected] is the more general Australia community, but not a big deal given it's early days and things are still working themselves out.

Not sure how to turn the above into a generic clickable link (that will work on any instance), but you should be able to search it.

Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.

That's where I've been heading too. The snapcast client has been a bit unreliable for me on my desktop though (choppy and stuttering) but it's great in its unix-like flexibility and I'm sure it will continue to get better.

Honestly, I hope that mobile connections in my country are one day: fast enough, cheap enough, and reliable enough that I could just use snapcast remotely and get truly seamless self-hosted streaming but that's still a long way away I suspect.

I check PCGW more prominently these days because even if the original game works, you can expect there to be some quirks that exist on Windows as well that Proton accurately replicates.

I normally use git so can't say exactly how long, but there are typically 3 major releases per year, so you could estimate from that..

Maybe mopidy although I haven't used it myself. It's mainly geared toward jukebox mode (so plays on the server) but you can stream to other devices through HTTP or snapcast.
