Really? I don't think I'm using a beta release and I'm glide typing this message. I might have gotten the apk off of Github rather than F-Droid but I honestly don't remember, been using this keyboard for a few months now.

Nope, just a simple app for writing text files. If you want you can save those files to the cloud but for myself, there's a lot if times where I just want to draft something quick on my phone and it's my go to

Simple Text Editor

FOSS text editor for when you just literally wanna write something down without any weird bloat and without having to deal with Google. Available on F-Droid.

Also, OpenBoard for a FOSS keyboard with swipe typing. Also available on F-Droid

You know what, I think F-Droid is actually my hidden gem app. I'm sure most Lemmy users use it, but I don't think I know anyone else IRL who does, so hidden gem might not be accurate depending on perspective.

I honestly didn't know they had a games division

A lot of Podcast creators I wish were independent. I listen to a lot of former How Stuff Works network podcasts, but they were bought up by I Heart Radio and I just hate the constant throwing to random ads. At least they still are able to say whatever they want it seems, as evidenced by Behind The Bastards, but yeah, wonder what going independent would even look like for them

I figured they were tie in games, these are movies?!

Two games on one cartridge? Childhood me is sold!

Seconding this. I switched over to discuss.online recently and was surprised when I suddenly couldn't use Sync. Took a good while before I happened upon the admin post about the issue so now I'm back to Lemmy.world on Sync

Yes, been loving BG3 but my best experiences with games in recent years have all been indie, from Outer Wilds that made me completely rethink what a game experience is meant to be, to Vampire Survivors that tickled all the right parts of my brain into making me spend hours watching pixels flash on screen in the most mind-numbingly addictive way. Indie devs really seem to be carrying forward the soul of gaming that larger gaming companies have lost, the exceptions being so rare that Baldur's Gate 3 is getting lauded for basically meeting what would have been normal expectations for a AA title in the early 2000's

I remember being really taken aback hearing kids were being made fun of for being smart on my first trip to the US for a gifted kids camp. A bunch of the other kids were sharing stories of how hard it was being the smart kid at their schools, getting bullied and teased and I was just like, can't relate

Leatherman to me is synonymous with "multitool with foldout pliers" as I believe they popularized if not invented the form. I think if you're into multitools you know the name, up there with Victorinox and Gerber. It's my preferred form factor for a multitool, I get way more use out of the pliers/wirecutters than pretty much anything on a Swiss army style multitool. Leatherman had an amazing tiny keychain model, the Squirt PS4, that I would recommend for keeping in your pocket but it was recently discontinued, and their other keychain tool, the Micra just isn't as good imho
