I think I'm running into a few bugs too. Nothing like putting a system under strain to discover all the kinks that aren't quite worked out yet. I figure lots of things work fine until you put enough load on them.
Fixed! Thx for the tip. I tried links that way first, but it didn’t seem to work. The URL just showed up as text. But it works now. :-)
Thanks @Kushan@beehaw.org. That is indeed where I saw it. I forgot the link in my post.
Interesting. The comments are now lagging well below normal. Here's a screenshot from the blackout tracker. The red arrow shows how reddit is still spamming lots of new posts, but comments are much lower than usual. Normally, at the peak times, comments are at or even above the number of posts. Not today though.
It looks like the activity is flattening now. I guess the stale content is starting to have an effect.
I want to like kbin, but I understand beehaw and Lemmy instances better. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the syntax to find communities/instances that are not local to kbin. They have some great "magazines", but I've already started following some communities on other Lemmy instances, so if I opt to use the kbin server and their UI, I need to be able to figure out how to find the communities I'm already participating in.
I've been curious as to what the end user experience on reddit might look like today and tomorrow. The blackout tracker seems to show fairly typical activity though. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ That perplexes me.
Maybe people are still checking reddit like usual, but many posts are hours old in the private subreddits that they may subscribe to? I know a percentage of subreddits didn't go dark, but those wouldn't be big enough to cause engagement to stay at the usual levels. Anyone hazard a guess as to what's up?
Oh...thank you guys for keeping up with all the chaos from us new folks slamming your servers!
I haven't installed windows. I guess I've gotten lazy. In the past I would have done that, but nowadays, I don't want to deal with finding drivers etc. So I decided I'll just wait until a game is ready to run on the deck natively or I'll just play what's available and not sweat that I'm missing out on something. There are very few games that I feel like I have to play. P5, BOTW, Witcher 3 and the like).
I just started Yakuza Like a Dragon. Holy crapballs, this game is good! I’m only 4 hours into it but damn, the story, dialog; it’s great. I’m on steam deck. It’s verified on deck and runs like a champ.
I relate. First person games are more likely to cause it for me, but there have even been a few third person that do it. Stray was horrible for me, I got stuck within 20 minutes! Interestingly enough, BOTW and TOTK do not cause me any problems despite being action based (though they are third person). I guess how they handle the camera and other video issues it’s the reason? I’ve played nearly 70 hours in TOTK and over 150 in BOTW and never felt green in the least.
Otherwise, I try to stick to turn based games and third person for the most part. Turn based games reduce the frequency that I have to spin the camera around to get my bearings. I’m lucky that I prefer rpgs, so there’s a good collection of third person turn based games to choose from. Persona 5 for example. No issues at all.
