Platypus

Because cross-platform apps inevitably feel out of step with the OS they run on. Native apps can use system components and behaviors and will almost always run better because they don’t need to be wrapped in a cross-platform framework. Admittedly a platform-locked app isn’t going to be a universally perfect Lemmy app, but it can certainly be a platform-specific perfect Lemmy app.

With no disrespect to Voyager, its devs, or its users, this is why I can’t use that app despite its impressive feature set and high level of polish–the ui feels fundamentally wrong on iOS, and the fact that it’s a very direct Apollo clone but not written in native swift makes it feel like a knockoff.

Damn that takes me back a ways. Haven’t thought about this video in years lol

I’ve been there. Here’s how I got out:

1. Remember: the four idiots on your team with you are, on average, just as bad as the five idiots on the other team. The only difference is you.
2. Positivity! I’m serious. Don’t. Fucking. Flame. No Dota player in the history of the game has ever played better after being flamed. If you flame, you are actively contributing to losing the game. Get on the mic and be a cheerful, supportive leader. Call plays. Congratulate your team. Keep the mood up. Yes, they’re morons, yes, they’re feeding, but the only way you can make them play better is through positive reinforcement.
3. Learn all the roles. If you slam your favorite role every game, you might be pushing somebody who can only play that role into a role they suck at. Every role is impactful, and learning them all will let you set your team up to succeed.
