I don’t know if this is the kind of feature that really fits Lemmy. I feel like it would be better suited as part of a video streaming platform or a stand alone piece of software. Owncast is a self hosted live streaming platform. Just keep in mind that you will essentially be running an IPTV service, which broadcasters really don’t like and if it gets big enough you might get a knock on your door.

You might enjoy Hilda if you like Bluey. Those are my two comfort shows.

Aren’t the initial sounds exactly why you’re right? Like I thought that was the main reason people think the creator is wrong…

I agree with the person that said you can spreadsheet-ify any game really, and in that way I know how you feel with Hades. I’ve been playing on a relatively young save lately before digging into Hades 2 and it’s been very refreshing not having all the trinkets and rerolls to really get exactly the build I want. Though even then I feel like there will always be some deviation from your plan, but you’re still given tools to tune your build to what you wanted, and you can still overcome the rng with skill expression. With Balatro I often felt I was just loosing a run because I didn’t get a necessary card or something that felt much more out of my control.

Totally agree with Isaac showing this the best. I’ve got friends that have thousands of hours in that game and still come across combos and interactions between items they haven’t found before.

Balatro. It becomes a spreadsheet sim very quickly, in my opinion. I think part of the reason Binding of Isaac and Hades feel much more timeless to me is that every run has this sort of intuitive randomness vs this just full rng you have to counter with math. Balatro feels solved, and while I guess you could count Hades max heat run as “solving” the game, the replayability of it feels much higher because builds feels more dynamic than “make number go up faster”.

Feeld is a half decent dating app for this, but I really hate suggesting a platform that still tries to rope you into a subscription by praying on insecurities around not getting many matches. But it seems like people are pretty open with what they are looking for, and it’s a pretty diverse platform.

Second for Owncast. Pretty much the only thing I know of. Or maybe screen share in a shelf hosted Revolt server?? With permissions it should be pretty easy to set up a chat only room where the person streaming is the only one that can stream and speak.
