  • I used Voyager for a while and here are the issues i noticed before I switched to another app (which also has issues):

    1. Gestures for actions tend to take big motions, bigger than is comfortable to me, and the difference between actions is small. Like, I need to swipe very far (and not too fast), and then within a few millimeters, it goes from upvote to downvote. In the end i was just wishing for buttons considering how much work was to reply or downvote.
    2. The combo of auto-marking posts as read when scrolling and hiding read posts doesn’t work too well. I frequently refresh my feed to only see stuff I’ve already seen and the posts stick around until I manually click then, go back and refresh. When I drag down at the top of my feed to refresh, I want to see posts I haven’t seen before. Refreshing 2-3 times and seeing nothing new…i don’t think anyone expects that from a social media app. Nearly all Lemmy apps seem to have trouble with this behaviour.
    3. I don’t think it’s a great idea to make “click = comment and thread disappears” the default. I often did it by accident and was very disorienting.
    4. I would often accidentally swipe/touch something, not realize what, and end up at my feed, the post I was looking at entirely gone, and no easy way to go back. To this day I’m not sure how I did that, but each time it a bummer to give up the post I was reading.



  • If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.

    If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we’re getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs 🍷, I still think it’s plenty enjoyable if you don’t think about it too deeply.

    If you’re looking for something in the “psychological” category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.

    Hmm, I follow the package’s readme and only get invalid command errors.

    Gotta install the pip dependencies.

    Oh but first you need to create a venv or everything will be global. Why isn’t that local by default like with npm? Hell if I know!

    Ah but before that I need to install the RIGHT version of Python. The one I already have likely won’t do. And that takes AGES.

    Oh but even then still just tells me the command is invalid. Ah, great, I live CLIs. Now I’ve gotta figure out PATH variables again and add python there. Also pip maybe?

    Now I can follow the readme’s instructions! Assuming I remember to manually open the venv first.

    But it only gives me errors about missing pieces. Ugh. But I thought I installed the pip dependencies!

    Oh, but turns out there’s something about a text file full of another different set of dependencies that I need to explicitly mention via CLI or they won’t be installed. And the readme didn’t mention that, because that’s apparently “obvious”. No it’s not; I’m just a front-end developer trying to run the darn thing.

    Okay. Now it runs. Finally. But there’s a weird error. There might be something wrong with my .env file. Maybe if I add a print statement to debug… Why isn’t it showing up?

    Oooh, I need to fully rebuild if I want it to show up, and the hot reload functionality that you can pass a command line argument for doesn’t work… Cool cool cool cool.
