Blocking all posts that link to specific sites?

Agreed with Magician and RmDebArc, and besides that, it could also be for the challenge, for the enjoyment, or because the vision of the dev only works in such a platform. And with emulators that allow commercial use around, the developer can also publish his games to modern platforms without having to rebuild the whole game.

And lastly, some UbO filters I made since I commented so much about them:

! DLsite - hiding stuff already claimed and owned (may need to expand since DLsite has its store sections all split):

A few more (SFW) I forgot:

https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game)
https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)

Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

spoiler

Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it’s easier to spot:

I have a few more resources noted down, if you’d be interested for the list:

https://www.indiegala.com/showcase
https://www.amusement-center.com/project/egg/game/?mode=search&sssort=desc (service itself is paid so kinda like Prime in “free with a fee”)
https://freebies.indiegala.com/
https://steamdb.info/freepackages/
https://www.app-sales.net/

https://itchclaim.tmbpeter.com/
https://shaigrorb.github.io/freetchio/
https://isthereanydeal.com/giveaways/

Should I list the NSFW resources too?

I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares by a long shot, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within.

Just remembered Ublock Origin filters also work nice with fediverse sites, although I would prefer to completely purge posts with links I avoid.

But for those curious, here’s an example filter I just cooked:
lemm.ee##a[class="fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover"]:has-text(here_goes_the_domain_as_displayed_under_the_post_title):upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])

So as an hypothetical example, if for some reason I have a problem with the sh.itjust.works instance, I could make this: lemm.ee##a[class="fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover"]:has-text(sh.itjust.works):upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])

And it ends up looking like this:

Filter active on the left, and not active on the right.

Blocking all posts that link to specific sites?

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 21 days ago

Look for games that are sold DRM free. Those can’t be taken from you by devs or the store after backed up. And usually devs and/or stores that deliberately sell such games also make it clear people can keep their games.

Auster@lemm.ee · 22 days ago

From the instances I used, it seems to be a mixed bag. Some even allowed for the user to block domains unrelated to the fediverse.

Auster@lemm.ee · 22 days ago

Was commenting more generally, in case there’s someone against Facebook in instances that don’t block them.

And about lemm.ee, although the guy running it is strongly against defederation, I guess Facebook the company is too much even for him. "<.<

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 22 days ago

Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.

Auster@lemm.ee · 1 month ago

Some times it’s part of the plot, like in comics such as Gwenpool and 8-Bit Theater. But usually, from what I notice, how a character perceives the world around is not explained.

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 1 month ago

Unfamiliar with it, but in the regard of instances going down, specially after my previous main instance died with no signs of returning (again), if you find any interesting posts even on instances seemingly stable, I think it is a good idea to back up those pages. Personally, I would propose methods like Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and its alternatives like Archive Today, the print to PDF option from browsers, and/or saving a given page as a MHTML bundle.

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 1 month ago

If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares¹, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.

¹og version; dunno if the updated version bundled with Mary Skelter 2 has trophies (didn’t stop me from finishing it on the Switch, though e.e")

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 1 month ago

The issue could be at least mitigated if they allowed people to set their own servers independent of World of Warcraft’s own servers. =/

Auster@lemm.ee · 1 month ago

Bravely Second and Rat King Adventures. To me, the former is being pretty fun, even more than Bravely Default, at least some 8 hours in, with the only potential problem being levelling feels way too easy. Rat King Adventure is also nice, although I’m not a big fan of roguelikes, and it got me curious since it’s rare to find FOSS games.

Auster@lemm.ee · 1 month ago

Besides being a fresh account with no previous activity, the post looks like one of those old scam/phishing emails, or more modern, an AI text. And besides, not posting the software on a platform more common for the gaming community rises suspicions further.

Auster@lemm.ee · 1 month ago

Oh? It’s a site software update? Interesting! =O

Auster@lemm.ee · edit-2 1 month ago

If you don’t mind, I have a suggestion that could help with avoiding running out of stuff to check.

To see the same posts over and over is pretty annoying, me thinks. So while I don’t use much lemmy world, when I do, in the lack of a native function, I hide posts through ublock origin.

For example, the link of the OP over at your instance is:

lemmy.world/post/18355071

So I pick the number at the end of the link and add to a custom filter in ubo:

lemmy.world##a[href="/post/18355071"]:upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])

And yes, needs to be done to each post you want to hide. It can be a bit slow, but not as bad as seeing the same posts over and over again, me thinks.

And as a last note, if you want a native post hide feature, places like where I’m talking from now and lemmy.ca have it.
