We tried it once, but it didn’t grab my son’s interest at the outset. I’m going to have us try again as I’ve heard nothing but praise for it.

Programming, writing, notes, email… and basically a whole lot of what I use computers for is done with emacs.

My son and I are like 95% done the end-game content in the Super Mario RPG remake, only Culex 3D remains! It’s been a total blast. My biggest struggle is finding more games like this.

We’ve loved all the Paper Mario games we’ve been able to play (original, Super, TYD, and Origami King…. unless I’m forgetting one), but trying out miscellaneous JRPGs hasn’t had any success with him yet. He’s too young for a lot of games, but seeing things from that pre-tween point of view I also feel like we all could do with more games that aren’t fueled by adolescent angst or grim brooding. Bright, fun adventure on a foundation of silliness paired with great music is such a good recipe.

14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.

Happy user of this for FPV footage, but it’s also worth appreciating more abstractly as a really well done cross platform GUI application. It’s powerful, GPU accelerated, and looks pretty good while doing it.

I think duplicating posts is fine in this case. That is, links can be shared on multiple link sharing sites without infringing on the original creator.

Pure comment threads not based on a link could be hard for now, particularly with the fragmentation between tiny emacs communities on lemmy. It would be nice to have regular tips and tricks threads, or ask anything threads, but there needs to be enough of an audience for those to work, and limiting the frequency with which they're posted might not work if most users are sorting posts with a recency component in the sorting criteria. I don't know that trying would hurt, but it might take a bit for participation to grow.
