  • It depends on which user and their workflow. For example, Graphics Designer use Photoshop compare to GIMP because of native CMYK for printing as well as non-destructive effects. Most people will be fine using GIMP.

    I bring this up as I tend to see people on Lemmy and even in online space that talks about open source that would bitch about “normies” being too stubborn for not trying Linux or any open-source projects in general but never think about how much compromise they had to do if they do go down the open-source route.

















  • Tomb Raider on PlayStation is what I say is way ahead of it’s time which I think not many people give the game credit for.

    It is one of the few early 3D games that nails the atmosphere and have tension. I always gets sense of adventure and I discovered part of the tomb by myself which I feel like modern games holds people’s hand a little where it feels less fun and more I been told to do XYZ.

    Also the way they did the water effect is impressive that they distort the texture UV postion I believe.






  • Generally, it been alright and has not too bad selection of topic/communities which most is more popular and broad so like anything that’s more specific won’t be there which I know overtime, it will have them so I’m forgiving on that front.

    At first, it was hard to know which instance I want to make my account on. I knew roughly what is the Fediverse and how it works but I remember even when I was giving Mastodon a try that I was overwhelmed and wasn’t sure which instance would be for me. Not sure what suggestion I can say to fix it but there is sight barrer.

    I agree with Fwgx that Lemmy and also most (if not) all Fediverse app/services just talk little too much about it being self-hosting and all of that. I think some people on Fediverse forget that not everyone is into what I like to call ‘DIY-Tech’ and just more wants to see it as a service and what can THEY (the instance) bring to the table. This doesn’t mean it shouldn’t mention that you can self-host it but maybe shouldn’t be too much of a priority. Maybe at least have some sort of tutorial or official guide as well as otherwise, I am pretty much on my own which sometime I can solve and learn from it but other people may just get annoyed and give up too easily. They will not know there’s account and even website that is a guide to the Fediverse and it only if someone on their timeline or where they followed/subscribe from that they would know those exist.

    I think once the Fediverse services/instance prioritized being user-friendly as well as explain how it works without going too technical that may scare some people away, I can see it grow much bigger and I really hope so as I been enjoying it despite some drawback.
