There are a lot of good jrpg recommendations in this thread, but more focused on the jrpgs of that time. If you are looking for something more recent, I can’t recommend Persona 5 enough, you don’t need to have played the earlier ones as the stories are independent from each other, it is as good as Chrono Trigger for me, and now quite accessible since persona 5 royal came to pc and all consoles. The recent dragons quest games are also pretty good.
I saw this exact popup yesterday, I remember seeing something similar to it before but it has been quite a while. The thing is, this single popup broke my computer entirely, I was playing a game and it jumped in front of the game, immediately stole the games inputs and I couldn’t even pause it. Then clicking don’t switch did absolutely nothing and the popup remained there, and any attempt to forcefully close the popup failed. Also, I was streaming at the time to my tv, and attempting to use any system related screen is blocked (and this popup counts as a system settings screen!), So it just crashed the entire thing while I was trying to dismiss or close it. I was stuck and couldn’t even reboot, had to hold the button and lose any progress I had in the game.
So yeah, I would be very interested in not letting this happen again as well.
Ever played Chrono Trigger randomized? After playing it so many times it was fun playing with a new perspective
Unless i misunderstood, I believe the point of this post wasn’t talking about defederating, it is asking about protecting the users data from Meta if federation happen, and for that point it is what I said, his data is as protected as before, federated or not, Meta won’t get access to any extra data from being federated than it already has access to now.
Defederating is another entire discussion that is really up to the instance admin, self hosting is the only way to really guarantee anything if you want that much deep control of your data and fediverse experience.
From what I understand about the fediverse, everything that Meta already knows about you and your content is going to remain the same. Federated or not, they will only have access to info you make public, and how much that is is entirely up to your instance. Even if Meta never wanted to join and federate with others, they could still scrape the same info and use as they see fit for training AI, duplicating posts or whatever.
So basically you don’t have to do anything, Meta cannot demand any extra data from you that your instance owner does not want to share. If you are worried your instance owner might do some deal with Meta for your data, then you can better control that with self hosting.
Most of my suggestions that I’ve been playing with my brother are already posted, so I’ll just add 3 more I haven’t seen yet:
