definitely agree. I don’t control our host’s policy but i will pass that along. some bot traffic is allowed- we were on the join-lemmy site two days ago and i have a bot running this very minute- i think they’re still just trying to dial in the right balance between two much and not enough security

are manual additions allowed? our host’s security blocks some bot traffic and is currently not playing nicely with the stats crawler

i really want AR to take off but bigger devices with higher price tags is probably not the way

3D platformers are seeing a bit of a resurgence on the indie level at least which is pretty exciting. In particular I’d recommend the Spark the Electric Jester series (although the 1st is 2D) and Lunistice in particular

I liked Balan Wonderworld. i didn’t love it, but i certainly don’t understand the hate- I haven’t ran into any bugs, some of the powers were neat, the music was phenomenal, and the simple controls were a selling point for me. it was like playing a new Dreamcast game in 2023 for better or for worse, another Billy Hatcher or something.
