If your instance is running version 0.18 you can type /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml to link to this sub.

So /c/community@instance.

You’re raising a very valid concern, I hope they have enough options for more casual players.

At least the regular traffic flow should be better than vanilla CS:1. But then again they added road maintenance and parking.

Ideally what I’d love is if posts worked like communities. For example you can navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and you’ll be taken to the community page on Lemmy.world. But if we could link to something like https://lemmy.world/p/1543053@lemmy.ml and land on a particular post, that would make having to do a lookup completely pointless.

There is some good and some bad news for this. They are aware of this problem, and are having discussions to change it. But I don't know when it is coming. And I agree that a lookup would be useless if we can simply create the url directly.

Ooh nice, and it is also available on chrome.

Yeah a browser extension could be a good alternative. I was initially hoping to use a website based tool so that it could work regardless of the users platform / browser. And specifically mobile.

Oh wow, that's also a huge undertaking! It is kinda sad that the api/v3/resolve_object endpoint was working without auth before the 0.18 release. Maybe I can see if we can get an api endpoint specifically for this? Without needing auth and without returning all the post information that we aren't interested in.

 

Hi everyone, I was trying to create a link sharer that works across Lemmy instances. The idea was to convert the federated url to a local url by using the api. You would save your instance of preference with the website, and it auto directs after a few seconds. However, I ran into one major problem. Both the search and resolveObject endpoints require authentication to do what I needed it to do.

An alternative would be to redirect to the search page, but that wouldn’t be much more convenient than just doing it yourself.

Does anyone have other ideas for tools (or etc) that could benefit us Lemmy users?

I already got a domain for this project, lemmy.express, but in the worse case someone could use it to run an instance on it.

I hope we won’t get in too much trouble when an accident happens in a new town, haha! Amazing changes for the game, and it really makes it feel like a next generation of Cities Skylines.

Fingers crossed on them blocking sidewalks. They did mention cars being able to hit buildings though.

Exactly! It should allow for even more control when designing your road network, without the random things you cannot do anything about.

I’m stoked too! Big improvement from the first game

This type of AI has nothing to do with the recently more popular machine learning. Gaming has been using Artificial Intelligence as a term since forever, it is simply an algorithm that approaches realistic behavior. When you look back at games like Command and Conquer they also called the computer opponents AI

You cannot really do this yet, the closest thing is taking the federated url and using the search function of your instance. Which, I think, only works if the content is already federated.

I’m slowly working on a website that can do this automatically, by using the API to look up the content on your instance of choice

It is pretty early to make good guesses about it, but I think it depends on how GPU heavy the game will be! If we can play around with resolutions, texture quality, etc it might manage to run at 30!

I have been playing Diablo 4 for the past days whenever I have some time! It's maybe not the best Diablo, but so much fun ;D
