I'm looking at this as the RE4 of the FF series - it's a fantastic game in its own right, but it's a massive departure from everything that's come before, and you can certainly make the argument its "not a real FF game". That doesn't mean it's not an excellent game, just very, very different.
Are there still issues with cross-instance content? Previously, if I signed in to lemmy.ca and subscribed to a channel on .ml, I didn't see all content. Likewise, if I left a comment from my .ca account, it wouldn't necessarily show up for users on .ml.
If this is still a problem, it's a HUGE roadblock in being able to just tell people to join other instances, if we don't want to fracture an existing community.
Edit: That may have simply been a result of the excess load?
Edit 2: Okay I'm testing and it looks like this was just an issue of load; I don't seem to be having any further issues with this.
Edit 3: Comments from users on lemmy.world still don't seem to propagate correctly. I can see them from .ml but not .ca
The problem is that the server owners are asking people not to do this because of the excess load, and currently cross-instance content simply isn't working correctly. If you join another instance and subscribe to lemmy.ml/c/ps5, you don't see all of the same content; likewise, content posted by people on the other instance doesn't all filter through to the .ml instance.
So telling everyone to join .ml is crappy, and telling everyone to join a different instance is also crappy. We're hoping that the lemmy devs get the issues sorted before the blackout ends so we can start directing people.
I think what I'd suggest here is not trying to achieve content-parity with /r/PS5; a whole pile of threads with 0 comments is going to do more to make the sub...lemmy? look empty than it would if you had fewer submissions to begin with.
I'd consider starting with some basic, open-ended posts — "What's everyone playing right now?"-type stuff — and get people talking, and then let the feed populate organically. Don't worry about matching every submission to /r/PS5 to a corresponding one here.
Ironically, no. At least not in the early game.
I cannot recommend Snowrunner enough. It's my ultimate chillout game — just you, four wheels, and the mud. Ideally with a beer and some music.
That character creator looks fantastic in general.
Type C makes Magic Burst SO MUCH EASIER.
That said... once you get to this many pre-defined controller layouts... why not just implement full remapping??
