I'm afraid you're conflating "Fallout" with "Bethesda". Fallout 1&2 are peak Fallout, and they are neither shallow nor janky. Well, maybe slightly janky but more in the sense of "dated" than Bethesda type jank.
I mean Loops has a For You page, but the algorithm seems much worse than TikTok (unsurprisingly). Partly I'm sure simply because there is so much less content to pull from, so it might seem worse than it is purely because there might not actually be anything worthwhile on it to recommend to you in the first place. But TikTok's algorithm is famously extremely good at identifying things you would like, even things you might not know you would like yourself. To be able to be an alternative in the brainrot delivery market, Loops needs to be able to come at least closer.
PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe, with more and better features (like built in SponsorBlock). I was watching videos on it just an hour ago.
I agree, and I think it's a shame it has gotten to this point, but I understand his viewpoint completely and have seen the interactions myself. At this point it's simply more efficient to promote Piefed on Reddit instead of Lemmy, because you want the absolute least amount of friction for potential new users. Literally any single minor inconvenience/negative thing will cause people to not even consider trying it out. Lemmy has unfortunately already accumulated a reputation, and if you promote it you are very likely to run into comments about tankies which is typically enough to scare potential new users away.
At the end of the day it shouldn't matter to us which software people use, as long as we get more new users into the ecosystem.
PipePipe has never let me down yet. In case you still need to interact with YouTube.
Well, part of why they want to follow the latest monetisation trends is that the idea of a subscription-based game is a much harder sell these days than it was 20 years ago. The landscape is just different.
For content creators it needs a built-in editor instead of forcing every video to be one take. And for consumers it needs a really good recommendation algorithm. The reason TikTok is so successful is that its absurdly efficient (and incredibly invasive) algorithm will find you content you'd like within probably minutes of setting up an account.
I like that this exists, but I don't think it's ready for mass adoption yet.
Not surprised. I had a friend who was all hyped up about this years ago and I didn't want to tell him then that it looked like pipe dream that was never going to pan out.
The MMORPG genre is dead, you have the big existing titles that exist simply because they're too big to fail or already have an entrenched user base, but I just can't see a new release - especially a new IP - breaking into the market.
You're surviving on the Finland-Russia border in a post-apocalyptic setting, the army threat kinda made sense to me.
If it was it was a complete coincidence, I literally just pulled something clickbaity out of my ass to illustrate the point. Just tells you how similar and boilerplate these headlines are becoming, though.
I just made up a typical clickbait headline, I wasn't talking about any game in particular...
I like Team Ninja and the way they do character action, so I'm happy both Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh 3 were well reviewed and successful. Probably won't jump into this for a long time due to my backlog (I'm working on Ninja Gaiden 4 at the moment, though!), but will most likely tentatively wishlist this for a future sale.
